At the event I was able to meet some amazing bloggers and people from Dove, Nuffnang and the Blogosphere. The event was held in Luxe studios in Darlinghurst, at the door of the event we were immediately offered a selection of drinks. The drink that caught my eye was the Dove's personalised "Hair Vitality Drink".
The drink was this rather light cucumber tasting drink and was actually really refreshing!
At the event we started off by experiencing a 'Color Experience' where all of us entered a room and went through numerous colors and the experiences associated with them. Following the Color Experience we watched the Promotional Advertisement for the new Dove Color Live line featuring Kate's experiences with Color.
From this campaign we realize that color is more than a visual appearance - it reaches out to us in sound, touch, taste etc. etc. But most of all color is a feeling.
Yellow: lemonade, warmth of the sun,
Green: the feel of the grass, smell of fresh herbs,
Blue: cool ocean, wind through our hair,
Red: spice on your tongue, feeling of love,
Color sets moods; it goes beyond what you can see.
Color can reflect us and our personalities, catches our attention, brings confidence and induces feelings both inside and on the outside resonating all throughout us.
After seeing the new promotion for Dove Color we carried onto the next room, which was extremely purple, where a number of well-spoken people provided us with a glimpse of Dove's new Color Therapy line.
Dove's Marketing Director
A color specialist telling us about how colors reflect our personality
A hair stylist speaking about the importance of the products
From each of these wonderful speakers we discovered the importance of color and how maintaining something simple like your hair color can influence your personality and mood.
We then split off into our own little circles with our own 'Color Specialists' who spoke to us about how each person can reflect a season which furthermore reflects our personality. We learnt this:
Spring: Easily distracted, keen for change, fun loving, excitable
Suits very contrasting bright colors
Summer: Introverted, absorbing, wallflowers, soft spoken
Looks great in silver and muted colors
Autumn: Good listeners, mysterious, independent, attentive
Looks good in deeper shades of colors
Winter: Outgoing, loud, attention seeking, confident
Better in colorful shades however not orange
Our color specialists examined us to figure out our color personalities by comparing us against colors and the way our skin looked against plain white too!
Soborii getting her colors read
As the night came to an end I was able to meet some great bloggers in an event that I was extremely nervous and anxious about considering I was going on my own. Everyone I met was extremely friendly and amazing, including Danielle of Soborii and Talyssa and Siree of The Hidden Thimble who spoke to me about their own blogs and what they specialise in.
I managed to meet and thank Ida Ong, the Advertising Operations manager of Nuffnang and the wonderful girl who invited me to the event in the first place. I was also able to meet Michelle the Accounts Officer of Nuffnang as well, who expressed that both her and Ida made it all the way from Melbourne just for the event and was going back right afterwards (that's commitment!).
I didn't manage to get a shot of my outfit for the night beforehand because I was in a huge rush coming from work.
But in having a bit of a squiz around I found a photo from another blog from the evening.
Myself on the left in the neon beanie with Danielle on the right.
Finally thank you again to Nuffnang and Dove for this opportunity! I can't wait to try out the new line!
Review soon to come!

This month's theme was "Spring in your step" which seems perfect to welcoming in the warm weather and it's all about having a clean start which is perfect for the warming weather. Unfortunately with all the busy-ness around me I didn't manage to take photos myself but I did use the products so I'll at least put up a review for you beauts. So this is the review from what I had in my Bella Box.

I want to talk about being beautiful from all the way inside and channelling it outwards in the every day. Smile & Stay Positive It's not hard, it doesn't take too much effort, but yet sometimes it's just so difficult. Positivity and kindness go hand in hand, often one can't go without the other. Finding the positives in everything or trying to smile through the hardest of times is possibly one of the most difficult things that everyone must go through. However studies show that optimists live longer, up to 10 years even! Positive people rub off onto others and prevail over negative environments, having this outlook in work environment makes your workplace more productive. Having constant positivity also allows you to deal with high stress situations much easier, allowing you to deal with those on the spot do or die situations. Positive emotions likewise reduce your day to day stress and outwardly open and broaden your mind to greater things and allowing yourself to become approachable. All together, positivity starts with a smile and ends in happiness and gratitude. A positive and kind interior shines outwards which is noticeable and is key in the influence of 'personality' beauty. What's the point in glittering an egg up for easter if it's rotten inside. The first few steps of making that positive upgrade can be
Lastly who are you?
Getting that immense beauty that's on the cover page of fashion magazines isn't what defines beauty you dingas. A beautiful person starts from the inside, a pretty apple is still horrible if it's rotten inside right? Even the sweetest fruits don't have the perfect exterior. What I'm trying to say is kindhearted people are beautiful people. I've met many pretty girls who have just become the most hideous people on the face of the earth because they have just no hearts or respect for anyone else
Healthy inside and out
All of the above can be heavily influenced on your health and general wellbeing. BABE , you gotta look after yourself okay! How do you look after people if you're not 150%, if you're incapacitated you can't look after anyone anyway.
Michelle Obama even states to put yourself first, you must always be number 1 on your priority list. It's not selfish, it's practical! We are taught everywhere including on the plane to put on our own oxygen masks first before considering helping children. How do we look after ourselves? Eat smart. I'm not saying change your whole diet, but consider what's best for yourself, consider what the balance is like. I personally like to have one spoilt day a week where I can very much gorge and indulge in whatever I wish. I'm not particularly strict on this as sometimes it can spread out to a second day. But I try to make sure I can combat my immense amount of consumption with smart eating. Eg. I love snacks especially chips, instead of eating them all the time I have Rice snacks instead. A healthier and actually more filling option. Drink Water! Why wouldn't you?! it's amazing! Staying hydrated is great for your skin, great for your body and everything else in between! Sleep Well This is a hard one that I struggle with daily but sleeping enough is crucial for your body to rest and recover all the days traumas and stresses both mentally and physically. Now sleeping at the same time every night and calculating your appropriate 8 hours is important however the crucial point is waking up at the same time. Your body compensates for lost sleep by making you sleep more soundly the next night, granted you're waking up at the same time each day still. Oversleeping or sleeping in will only prolong and readjust your body clock keeping you later the next night and the next and so on and so forth. Skincare. Put the makeup down! Have one day AT LEAST where you're not polluting your skin with make up. That one day allows your skin to breathe and readjust leaving you less breakouts. On that note, the days you do wear make up, make sure you clean it off well and thoroughly every day. Leaving make up on wears your skin down and fills the pores up causing horrendous skin problems and making you want to put more on to conceal them. On that note, look after your skin! Keep it hydrated and wash it everyday, having good products that work well for your skin and not because they've had good reviews are important to your skin health, just because it worked on their skin doesn't mean it'll work on yours. Stay Fit. I don't mean go out and do a marathon every day but simply do enough to stay healthy. Exercise as a part of your general health is proven to make you feel more awake and rest better. It's hard work but the rhythm must be continued and trust me it is worth your while. Okay Fair enough it sounds like a lot but these are the first steps to self confidence and feeling and being beautiful inside and out I hope you found this useful. Love Jay xx.
