Disney Junior's "Pirate and Princess: Power of Doing Good"

Disney Junior has launched a new website namely "Pirate and Princess: Power of Doing Good" recently on 09 December 2014 of which I believed that many of you parents have already heard about it or even seen the advertisement on Disney Junior channel.  But did anyone of you understand the rationale behind it and what are the activities that your little one can participate while cultivating a 'caring with love character' towards the environment?

Disney Junior's "Pirate and Princess: Power of Doing Good" campaign aims to introduce kids aged 2-7 to the idea and also the values of - CARING for Nature, Animals, Community and the goodness of helping others or those in need.  This campaign aimed to empower preschoolers to participate in acts of service encouraged by parents and supported by the community.

"Through the power of our stories and characters, Disney Junior not only inspire kids to imagine a better world but also help them to realize through simple acts of caring for their surroundings and community of which I believed that this is what our children lack off nowadays.

Partnering with WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), SPCA Singapore and Selangor and also Singapore Environment Council, this "Power of Doing Good" campaign on Disney Junior will empowers your kids and family members with information and opportunities to engage with your friends and communities to make positive impact on the world around you.

Children need to learn from a young age, to be aware and care for the environment, animals and also the society.  And this will go a long way in growing a generation who takes responsibility in shaping a healthy planet as quoted by Ms. Elaine Tan, the Chief Executive Officer of WWF Singapore.  

Throughout this whole campaign, both popular Disney Junior characters, Jake from Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Sofia from Sofia the First will take on the role to lead the kids on a journey of personal empowerment through the "Power of Doing Good" campaign.

Well, after the long description of this meaningful campaign that currently running and now is the question - How to participate?

All you need to do parents is to visit "Pirate and Princess: Power of Doing Good" website at www.disneyjuniorpowerofdoinggood.com and SIGN UP before downloading those fun activities sheets.  You will realized that all activities are being themed in four main key areas which is COMMUNITY, ANIMALS, NATURE and STORYTELLING.

Go into THINGS TO DO and select the key area to participate.  Each and every key area will then be separated into three categories of worksheets, for example the first key area -

COMMUNITY, once you clicked on it, the three categories which consist of Caring, Responsible and Helpful will come out on the screen and your kids can now start completing the task by exploring each and every worksheet arising from these 3 categories.

Just click into the LEARN MORE to download the worksheet for your little one to complete before rewarding them with the badges/certificates.

ANIMALS - Loving, Kind and Curious

NATURE - Alert, Adventurous and Nurturing

STORYTELLING - Creative, Exciting and Imaginative

Your little one will be encouraged to continue and complete all activity sheets with the badges and
certificates as a simple rewards after each and every category.  In addition, there will also be opportunities for your kids and you to create "Power Promises" online under MAKE A PROMISE whereby is a simple promise to do something good for the world that you live in.

Don't you think this campaign is not only fun, educational in terms of morale but also very meaningful?  Especially during such a long school holidays, I find this campaign fits into my boy's schedule perfectly.

So parents, why not just SIGN UP NOW and have a good bonding time with your little one this year end by joining this meaningful campaign and have lots of fun before kicking start a more wonderful new year ahead.

{Product Review} - GlamGlow YouthMud Tinglexfoliate Treatment

I was one of the lucky Caterpillars in The Butterfly Project Malaysia being given the opportunity to try out the GlamGlow® skincare product which claimed to be the secret behind most of the Hollywood celebrities for immediate camera-ready instant glowing skin.

Before going into the product review part of it, as usual, I would like to do an introduction or a
brief history of the said product.

THE FOUNDER OF GLAMGLOW

GlamGlow® was founded in 2010 by Glenn & Shannon Dellimore exclusively for behind-the-scenes in the Hollywood Entertainment, Music, Fashion and Award Industries and in 2011, it became available to consumers worldwide including Malaysia.

GlamGlow® is a leading skincare brand positioned alongside some of the worlds biggest retail brands spanning 84 countries in over 6,000 stores worldwide and covering the continents of North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia.  Besides, it is also the only skincare company to be located on the 'Stars Walk of Fame' in Hollywood with a commitment to provide the most advanced, fastest and innovative cosmetic technology for the entertainment industries.

THE PRODUCT - GLAMGLOW YOUTHMUD TINGLEXFOLIATE TREATMENT

Specially designed as a 10-minute professional 'facial in a jar' for behind-the-scenes use in Hollywood's entertainment industries is mud base from the South of France Mediterranean Sea, home to glamorous Cannes, St. Tropex & Monaco which is suitable for both men and women of all skin types and ages. 

Ingredients wise, it contains Aqua (Water), Montmorillonite (Volcanic Minerals), Kaolin (French Sea Clay), Magnesium Aluminum Silicate (Purified Clay), Polyethylene, Pumice (Micro Volcanic Rock), Camellia Sinensis Leaf (Green Tea Leaf), Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract (Green Tea), Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract (Chamomile), Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (Marigold), Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract (Cucumber), Hedara Helix Extract (Ivy), Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract (Comfrey Herb), Lavandula Hybrida Oil (Lavender), Glycerin (Vegetable), Parfum, [Benzyl Benzoate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool], Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone.

Groundbreaking patent pending TEAOXI™ is GlamGlow's proprietary continuous time-release technology, delivering daily fresh Super-Squalene, EGCG Super-Antioxidants & Polyphenols direct into the mud from the real pieces of tea leaf contained in the mask.  TEAOXI™ is actually the 'magic' behind this powerful anti-aging and anti-wrinkle results.

With just a thin layer of GlamGlow YouthMud Tinglexfoliate Treatment applied on a clean face and remove it with water in circular motions to exfoliate the dead skin cells after 10 minutes for once or twice a week will give you the following results. 

• Leaves skin noticeably radiant and glowing
• Activates moisturizing collagen synthesis
• Provides gentle resurfacing exfoliation
• Helps to leave skin smoother, brighter and softer
• Provides tighter skin texture and tighter pores
• Helps to provide a more youthful appearance
• Absorbs impurities without removing natural oils
• Helps to protect against free radical damage

The mud mask leaves skin noticeably radiant and glowing as you can see later in my review; it works with the body's natural moisturizing collagen to provide gentle resurfacing exfoliation.

MY REVIEW ON GLAMGLOW YOUTHMUD TINGLEXFOLIATE TREATMENT

Here's the tube of GlamGlow YouthMud Tinglexfoliate Treatment (15g) that I have tried and resulted the following review.

Step 1 

It is a must to ensure that your face is clean without any make-up residue before applying mask. Hence, I will normally do the following every time before putting on a mask.

1. Remove all make-ups 
2. Clean with facial foam
3. Facial scrub to exfoliate the dead skin cells

Step 2

Once ready, I then squeezed out a little of the grayish mud mask onto my palm and applied a thin layer evenly covering up my whole face except for the eye-area.

You can also apply on your neck or even chest area, but I save it only for my face cos it's so precious (*wink*).  I don't actually feel anything when I apply but later after a few minutes, I slowly feel a tingly sensation that lasted only for a short while.  

After waited for about 6 minutes, the thin layer of GlamGlow YouthMud Tinglexfoliate Treatment is almost 90% dried up and now I can really feel the tightness on my skin; I can hardly have any facial expression at that moment.

Exactly 10 minutes, the mask has completely dried up with the colour turned light-grey and I really can't wait to see the end result.

   
Step 3

Strictly based on the instruction, I slowly washed off the mud mask using water in circular motion to exfoliate the dead skin cells and towel dry.

Step 4
 
Last but not least, followed by applying the toner, serum and moisturizer.

(*Drum roll*)

Now, don't you think my skin looks glowing and more radiant with lesser blackheads? I personally find that it is a miracle tube of mask.  Frankly, I have not gone for any facial treatment since the last two months mainly due to my tight work schedule and today, just a mere 10 minutes with the GlamGlow YouthMud Tinglexfoliate Treatment, my face looks as if I have gone for an exclusive 2-3 hours facial session.

I can say the results is visible despite this is the first time I am using it.  Highly recommended but of course, good and genuine stuff, will definitely be more pricey.

As earlier mentioned, GlamGlow® products is now available in Malaysia at all Sephora outlets nationwide.
