Bag of Love November Edition: Go, Girl, Go!

I know I know…you’ve probably read or seen a lot on the Bag of Love November edition; it’s all over the Facebook, Instagram and blogs since the 3rd week of November...Initially I planned to do the review around that time too but heck, I was too tied up with projects and then fall sick for good few days (T.T) 

Anyway…here I am, to share with you my review on the much sought-after edition of Bag of Love. I made quarterly subscription again, but this time it was due to the bag design lol...I just don’t care about the content anymore when I saw the bag design for November and December lol…but I am not worried because Bag of Love has by far offered quite good products, albeit sometimes I feel ‘blah’ when I already have the products got from somewhere else, or things like perfume (but that is because I am not really into perfume! Different people different taste, hehe…)

Ok, back to the Bag of Love November edition…the bag was selling like hot cakes fresh from the oven. Right after Mi Mi posted the bag design, I think more than 50% was immediately grabbed. Some even subscribed more than two or three!! I was lucky as I subscribed just hours before it was sold out…So, what made this bag so special that everyone wants to have it??

Dang dang dang!!!! Yup, unlike the usual Bag of Love design, this bag is a denim tote bag from Levi’s!!! When I saw the bag design, I can already imagine bringing this bag for my usual weekend outing. The bag is made from soft denim material, with red and white checkered lining inside (which is kind of mismatch haha). There’s a button clasp which is good rather than having nothing to secure at all. 

Self-empowerment with Dove Empowerment Workshop - the best event I have attended so far

I never knew that Dove is always committed to inspiring all women and girls to reach their full potential. Yes, Dove, the body care and hair care brand that is familiar in pharmacies and departmental stores. Dove supports partnerships with after-school programs, self-esteem building events and educational resources. Dove also supports a partnership with Alliance for Women in Media. Around the world, Dove has organised a number of Self-Esteem Project inviting all women to create a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety. There were also workshops designed for girls, the Dove Self-Esteem Workshop for girls, to empower girls and promote new ways of thinking about beauty, body image and self-esteem with positive self-esteem building discussions and activities. Do you know that, each time you buy Dove, you help Dove and their charitable partners to provide inspiring self-esteem programming for girls?

Back here in Malaysia, Dove has set up the Dove Empowerment Fund, where via this fund and collaborations with various women organizations, Dove helps under-privileged women towards a better and more meaningful life. Recently, Dove has also organised the Dove Empowerment Workshop, where 100 selected women were brought to a series of self-esteem and empowerment exercises. And I was selected as among the 100 lucky women :)

Actually, this workshop invitation came to me by chance. I was merely sharing my concern on my hair fall problem via this Dove FB App. I have never expected that I would be chosen, but now I was so glad that I was and has attended the workshop, because it's the best event ever that I have attended thus far!! This workshop has really taught me a lot of life lessons!!

The workshop was held on 9 November 2013, at Impiana KLCC Hotel & Spa. As each participant was allowed to bring along a friend, I invited my dear Sis along...

Nourished and Moisturized with Dove Body Wash and Shampoo

Do you know that Dove's vision has always been "A world where beauty is a source of confidence, and not anxiety" ? I really love this beautiful vision as it encourages us to love and embrace ourselves, and not to feel anxious of our physical appearance...Only when we can love ourselves that we able to increase our confidence and self esteem....

The Dove Beauty Nourishing Body Wash does exactly that...every time after showering using this body wash I feel like my skin is more beautiful and fairer...I mentioned in my previous post that I love Dove body wash because of the milky cream and the fresh scent...

This Dove body wash, powered with the Nutrium Moisture has a unique blend of moisturising and nourishing ingredients that replenish nutrients back into the skin. My skin feels 'bouncy' and smoother, and the scent actually reminds me of the baby fresh smell, hehe...nothing feels better than after a soothing shower with a milky cream, especially after a hard work day...talking about simple pleasure!! Am glad that this body wash is in my Bag of Love May...

Hey Moonies!! (can I call my readers 'Moonies'? lol)

Got my Bag of Love May one week back so now it's unzipping the bag time ヽ(^o^)丿

The theme for Bag of Love May edition is Best of Beauty, and there are well-known brands that are loved across the globe in the bag.

Thanks to Mi Mi's generosity for sending us bloggers in the Unzipping Tea Party this month's edition as well... I am very happy with the Bag of Love April edition, so will the May edition be on par too? (^_^)

Let's talk about the bag itself first....I love the May bag!! It's a classy half-moon shaped beige-color faux-leather bag...The "Bag of Love" wording is in golden font and the zip pull-tab is gold-coated too...Like!! 

This is how the products sit when I first opened the bag.... Hello World!! As I unzipped the bag, I can smell the soft bath scent... ~(^^~)
