To Prepare a Clean Eating Meal’ Session.
Indeed, women shoulder
many responsibilities and hold a lot of economic power in the present world. It
is no wonder that there is an old saying stating that women can hold up half
the sky.1 Recent studies on universities in Malaysia indicate that
female undergraduates occupy more than half their intake since 2015 while some
of the top positions in both civil and private sectors are taken up by women.2
3 It is therefore, of no surprise that a report from information and media
company, Nielsen points out that Malaysian women rank as the 16th most stressed
women in the world.4 5 6

Guardian Malaysia, Brand Manager, Health
& Beauty Own Brand Malaysia & Brunei, Ms Michelle Yeap Hoon Li stated “The
roles of women in today’s society have changed tremendously. Therefore, the
ability to multitask is essential to live up to the job description of
homemakers, breadwinners, mothers, educators and etc.,” She went on to say that
all this contributes to a constant source of stress for women.

“In conjunction with the objective
of International Women’s Day (IWD), Guardian Malaysia challenged women to take
positive action in creating a better world for themselves through practical
steps. In line with that, the campaign was specially targeted to empower ladies
with a means to find the ideal balance between work, leisure and relaxation,”
Yeap explained.

During the Guardian Malaysia
campaign period, all female followers on their social media were invited to comment
below the IWD post with the reason why they were keen to win the all-inclusive
wellness trip. They would have to end their entry with the hashtag
#BalanceForBetter”. Twenty winners were then selected to join the Guardian
Women Empowerment Program “Balance For Better” from the 8th to 9th of March
2019. Other sponsors of this event
included Derma365, Happy Mask, Nature’s Heart, BeYoutiful
and Botaneco Garden.
Moreover, Guardian Malaysia called
upon all women to strike creative poses and share them on social media to build
awareness and show their support on the actual date of IWD 2019, using the same
“#BalanceForBetter” hashtag.
During the carefully curated retreat
program, both influencers and the winners underwent an inspiring journey with
interesting and relaxing tips or activities to unwind and care for themselves
in their daily life. Professionals provided
step-by-step tutorials in different sessions to target various needs. There
were beauty consultants who helped them understand their skin through talks on skin care
related topics. On top of that, a delightful beauty class was held to educate participants on makeup techniques and
advise them on different grooming styles for different occasions. Furthermore,
a professional speaker was invited to share about stress management issues.
In addition, participants
went through an enjoyable practical session of learning to prepare and assemble
a well-balanced meal for clean eating that they could incorporate into their
lifestyle. Another highlight would be the “Sound Therapy Session” where
participants drifted into another world while their bodies, minds and souls
were being treated by clinically proven therapeutic and healing sound therapy.
