GIVEAWAY: Go Forth | RM250 Levi's Vouchers!

Eversince I know the meaning of wearing denim for everyday casual wear when I was a kid, LEVI's is the first brand that would pop on my mind as the leading and most memorable denim line ever created. After decades that thought has not changed since. I am in awe on how Levi's has managed to become a staple product in every single men & women's wardrobe all over the world, my first Levi's that I bought with my own money during my teen years was a pair of skinnies and it's still as good now as it was the first time I bought it, albeit getting that worn out look after a few (hundred) washes ;)

My first Levi's is probably one of the most worn jeans, to class to dates and to casual family hour. It has seen me grow, literally because now I can not fit into it anymore! But memory remains and I think I still have it at my mom's house and there's no way I'm gonna give it up. I'd probably pass it down to my kids in the future, pretty sure Levi's will still be trendy and just as awesome as it was in 1800, now and in the future.

Unlike other denim brands, Levi's has also come up with Levi’s® Curve ID which utilises a unique, customised fit system focusing on a woman’s shape and proportions, not her size. The Levi’s® brand designers studied body scans of more than 60,000 women to develop custom fits based on the difference between the measurement of a woman’s hip and seat–the greater the difference, the more curvy the body–

and include:

Slight Curve – Gracefully Straight

Slight Curve is designed to define a woman’s waist while accentuating her curves. If jeans fit in the hips and thighs but are too tight in the waist, a woman should try the Slight Curve.

Demi Curve – Elegantly Hourglass

Demi Curve is designed to flatter a woman’s waist while smoothing her shape. If jeans usually fit in the waist but don’t flatter the figure, a woman should try the Demi Curve.

Bold Curve – Beautifully Curvy

Bold Curve is designed to hug the waist without gapping or pulling. If jeans fit in the hips and thighs but gap in the back, a woman should try the Bold Curve.

I went to get measured at a Levi's store last year and found out that I'm actually Demi Curve, at a glance I thought I was actually Slight Curve but hey turns out I have more curve after all.

Charity: Blackmore's 80 Good Deeds Contest

Blackmores was founded in Australia in the 1930s by Maurice Blackmore, a naturopath with a vision and passion to provide natural health products and information to people. Through decades of intense research and development in the healing properties of natural herbs and minerals, the company has expanded globally and become well-known for its high-quality vitamins and dietary supplements (VDS) and for its integrated and holistic approach to healthcare in the quest for a healthier and happier world.

Launched in Malaysia in 1976, Blackmores offers a wide range of health and dietary supplements including the basic Multivitamins and Vitamin C range and those that are targeted at specific conditions such as CoQ10 and the Heart Health range, among others. Blackmores has been performing well in the Malaysian VDS industry with an average Compound Annual Growth Rate of 16% for the past five years. Following this achievement, Blackmores is also the recipient of many accolades and awards including the Most Trusted Vitamin and Supplement Brand in the 2012 Readers Digest Most Trusted Survey and won the Superbrands Awards.

So recently Blackmores celebrated their 80th Anniversary & kick started the 80 Deeds Campaign by donating RM80,000 worth of Blackmores supplements to 25 old folks homes and underprivileged children homes in the Klang Valley & Selangor, more on that here [link]. In conjunction with that Blackmores also invites their fans & followers to follow their good deed and submit them to 80years80deeds@blackmores.com.my! Participants have the chance of winning  the Grand Prize of  2D/1N stay at Avillion Port Dickson and a Blackmores hamper worth RM800, while the 2nd to 8th prize winner will each receive a Blackmores hamper worth RM800.

I think my best good deed of the year must have been promoting everyone to donate to Islamic Relief Malaysia as a birthday gift for myself during last Ramadhan. Within less than a month, with Allah's bless and the help of my friends I managed to collect around RM56765.00 of cash and a whole lot of bundle of used clothing & books for donations!

EVENT: Blackmore's 80 Deeds Charity Campaign

Earlier this month I attended a charity event organized by Blackmores in conjunction with their 80th anniversary at the Shelter Home for Children (Shelter) in Petaling Jaya. It was such a lovely day although it rained in the morning for a bit but that didn’t dampen the spirit of Blackmores staff & the children from Shelter & the elderly who enjoyed themselves ♥ 

A total of RM80,000 worth of Blackmores supplements were pledged to 25 old folks homes and underprivileged children homes in the Klang Valley & Selangor in conjunction with Blackmores’ 80th Anniversary. The announcement came at the 80th Anniversary tea-party celebration with Blackmores employees which was attended by 20 children from Shelter as well as 18 senior citizens from Rumah Charis with their caregivers..

The 80th Anniversary Cake for Blackmore! There should be 80 candles on top of this lovely cake haha. Can't believe they have already been around for so looong, personally I do take Blackmores supplement as a daily intake (multivits, Evening Primrose Oil, Fish Oil etc). I believe in addition of eating a healthy diet as it's our personal responsibility to our body to take in supplements because we cannot guarantee that our everyday food contains enough nutrition and Blackmores is one of the best brands out there for supplements. Committed to the corporate vision of creating a healthier and happier world, Blackmores enjoys an impressive track record spanning across 8 decades in providing quality healthcare products and services to the public.
