Women urged to wrap up event with a ‘glowcation’
INTRIGUING discussions, awareness campaigns, and colourful events dominated August in celebration of women from all walks of life.
One of the glittering events that closed off the month filled with activities was “Glowcation” from one of SA’s favourite alcohol brands, Bernini.
Glowcation is an opportunity to take time out to enjoy yourself and discover what life has to offer.
To mark this theme, the brand summoned women who dazzled in white and blue, offering them different treats at the Seven Villa Hotel and Spa in Sandton.
To improve blood circulation and also help relax and reduce stress, they underwent spa treatments.
The community of vibrant Glow Getters was also treated to a sound bath, a meditative experience where those in attendance are “bathed” in sound waves.
In light of the gender-based violence pandemic in South Africa, women were also offered self-defence demonstrations where they learnt tricks to defend themselves in hostile situations such as rape attempts.
Zesipho Mncwango, Bernini (brand manager) spoke about the essence of the day and what Glowcation meant.
“Bernini is encouraging women to take the time and have the audacity to live a little. I am incredibly privileged to be here with all of you today.
“The audacity to live a little campaign is about encouraging women to not prioritise or take time away from discovering themselves, exploring the world, and enjoying everything that life has to offer. And what better way to close off Women’s Month than with you?
“Because Bernini believes so much in the real unbound potential of women, we are so incredibly privileged to be here with you today.
“We hope that today has felt like an opportunity to experience a glowcation, which is the opportunity to take time out to enjoy yourself and discover what life has to offer.
“And to really seek what you feel from within. And so I hope you take that message of inspiration forward to all of the women in your communities that Glowcations are really just opportunities to celebrate yourself, to take time out, and to use every opportunity you have to have everyday celebrations.
“So with that said, as we close out Women’s Month, I want to say cheers to you glow-getters. We hope that you have enjoyed this opportunity to celebrate this day with us and that the year ahead feels just as restorative and is full of realising your unbound potential. And that you have many more everyday celebrations," she said.
