<p>As one of the country’s most beautiful actresses, Heart Evangelista is also one of the most sought after endorsers in the country. But the 39-year-old fashionista admitted that some products she represents mean more to her than others because of her long history with a particular personal care brand.</p><p>“I started working really early so it was so nice looking back, as a Kotex girl, parang my whole journey and everything I went through, parang it really fits. I consider myself very blessed and very lucky to be with Kotex because can you imagine they’ve been there since I was 18, 19? So they’ve seen my career. So I don’t really have to hide and I can truly be myself and nowadays it’s so liberating to just be yourself, the good and the bad. Your heart will still shine at the end of the day. Just be yourself. I feel like I have a really good relationship with them because the essence of my being they know,” she shared during the “Flex Your Mood” event held last October 21 in Taguig City. </p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBYRDe6yOI9/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A3000376.800000012%2C%22ls%22%3A3000219.600000024%2C%22le%22%3A3000223.800000012%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="779" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/10/19/heart-evangelista-is-no-1-apac-celebrity-in-media-impact-value-at-recent-paris-fashion-week-1445"><strong>READ: Heart Evangelista is No. 1 APAC celebrity in media impact value at recent Paris Fashion Week<br/></strong></a></div><p>Just like any woman, Heart admitted that the days she’s on her period can be the most challenging ones of the month.</p><p>“Welcome to day two (laughs). Actually, perfect timing nakakatawa. Hindi lang yun. May migraine ako sa right side (of my head) and this is really sealing the deal but it’s still okay. I deal with it in a really bad way. It’s really painful to hear, I have a migraine, nag-contacts pa ako kahit hindi na ako makakita. But you know, it’s part of it. We’ve all dealt with worse things like heartbreaks and pressure. This is nothing. It’s part of life. Like today’s the day and I’m breaking out on my chest and my back.</p><p>&quot;But you know, it’s normal. It’s just the way it is. So you just have to roll with the punches. It’s really tough. Because when I have my red days. Heavy flow. I’m a good four (days).  But then I get migraines and stuff like that so it’s bad. And breakouts too,” she admitted.</p><p>Known for attending fashion events all over the world, Heart shared how she remains unbothered no matter how she is feeling at that time of the month.</p><p>“It’s funny because every time I travel, fashion week always falls on the day (of my period). So Kotex honestly has helped me because any outfit I tell you, knitted, sheer, stockings, shorts, I’ve done it all (on my period). Super seamless. As I evolved, they’ve evolved also flawlessly through the years. And no joke, I’m really like a number one Kotex girl. In fact I have my own stash so wala na akong pinoproblema. I always bring. Hindi lang yun, ang ganda ng packaging so nakagarapon pa yun ng glass.</p><p>&quot;I’m very OC. Yung peg ko si Khloe Kardashian and her cookies exactly. Pag dumating yung mga guests ko sa banyo, sinasabi ko it’s for everyone. Through the test of time I’ve felt all the loves possible, I’ve felt the worst at some things, and I’ve always felt very confident about myself, even with a migraine. When I was younger, I was always with my mom. My mom was my manager so she was always present. But she taught me the great basics in life like never to be pressured. Especially at that time, I would breakout on my forehead,” she recalled.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/10/22/heart-evangelista-on-pia-wurtzbach-i-never-had-a-problem-with-pia-1623"><strong>READ: Heart Evangelista on Pia Wurtzbach: ‘I never had a problem with Pia’<br/></strong></a></div><p>During the event, the celebrity ambassador, who was recently announced as the highest-ranking celebrity from APAC in media impact value for the Spring/Summer 2025 season of Paris Fashion Week, got even more candid about how she handles her moods and how she chooses to unwind after a long and tiring day.</p><p>“As a person, you have so many other things going on like pressures in life and problems and you have to deal with so many things and then you have that pa which happens regularly. So with Kotex, you don’t have to think about it, you don’t have to feel bad about yourself. But if you do feel bad about yourself, it’s completely normal. Although I hate it when they say, ‘Parang bad mood ka, magkakaroon ka ba?’ Hate na hate ko yun kasi wala naman ako (laughs). But it’s true. I really feel off. I’m not the type to be super sensitive. I’m not the type. But I feel sick.</p><p>&quot;So it’s about balancing your life, not giving into pressure. And if you do feel pressure, it’s okay to breathe from time to time. Like tonight I plan to just change into my 12-year-old oversized Winnie the Pooh pantulog. May butas siya siyempre at saka manipis na siya but that’s what I’m going to wear tonight,” she revealed.</p><p>Heart also shared a message to all the Gen Z Pinays present at the event on how to be an empowered woman like her. “I always say this but it’s so true, never aim for perfection because you’re going to aim to fail. Perfection is not of this world. So you just have to continue to be yourself. You have time. You’re young. There’s no age where you have to be this way or that. Just go with the flow. What is yours will be yours. It’s just a matter of time.</p><p>&quot;And just work hard, be kind even if it’s so hard to be kind at times. It will pay off. One day you’re going to get to where you want to be. So don’t pressure yourself and live life a day at a time,” she added.</p>
