Good news everyone, our favourite leading pharmacy, health and beauty retail chain in the country, Guardian Malaysia will reduce the price of selected items every Friday to Sunday, for the rest of the year, in a bold initiative to help consumers mitigate rising costs of living.

Called the “Knockdown Prices Campaign”, it would feature four to five full range of products, with reductions stretching from 10 to 70 per cent.

CEO of Guardian Health and Beauty Sdn Bhd (Guardian Malaysia), Mr. Soren Lauridsen, said: “This Knockdown Price Campaign is very important to us as it would enable the Company to contribute, directly, and in a significant way, to help Malaysians lighten the rising costs of living.”

“Customers throughout the country, no matter where they are, and including those who prefer to make purchases online, can enjoy these great low prices, every Friday to Sunday,” he added.

Speaking at the launch of the campaign at Guardian Sunway on 8th February 2018, Soren said: “Guardian has been a leading brand in Malaysia for over 50 years, and we have a reputation of offering a wide range of exclusive and high quality products at very affordable prices. In fact, prices at Guardian are also one of the lowest in the market. But this fact has not been highlighted sufficiently in the past because of the different focus in earlier marketing campaigns.”

“Given the noises we have been hearing about the rising costs of living and expensive consumables, we decided to make the bold decision of committing ourselves to knock-down prices, every Friday to Sunday, for the rest of the year.”

An estimated 260 items, ranging from personal care, health and beauty products, such as shampoo, body wash, facial cleansers, face masks and many more will be offered at lower prices during the year.

“We believe this campaign is timely and appropriate, given the current business environment. And we are confident consumers will be thrilled,” he added.

The knockdown prices are in addition to its on-going weekend super savers and exclusive promotions such as Hello Kitty Limited Edition Collections that will run until 18 April.

Soren highlighted that Guardian also just rolled out another fantastic initiative called BEAUTY DAYS promotion, where beauty products are offered at discounts of up to 40%.

“We have designated Thursday to Sunday, as Beauty Days, please look out for these days, for the best beauty deals in the market! I think all of you would be “WOW”-ed by the range of products and the prices!”

He said: “These are not all. I can assure you that more have been planned.”

He added that these campaigns enable Guardian to re-focus on the brand’s DNA, which is, to always offer customers the best in terms of price, quality and service. They are also in line with the Company’s strategy to WOW their customers, each time they walk into the stores!

Guardian Malaysia has also engaged with 4 KOLs on the Knockdown Prices Campaign. They are Charis Ow, Jenn Chia and DJ Ray and Haniff from Era Fm Radio. I believe they will surely inspired the younger customers to get all their favourite beauty items from Guardian's “Knockdown Prices Campaign” because it is really super worthy to restock the beauty items during the campaign.

This programme aims to attain sustainable growth as well as increase sales by taking their businesses online.

The O2O Growth Venture Program, helmed by Fave founder Joel Neoh, emphasises on venturing into new online sales channel and business model to increase sales of businesses. It also educates on the adoption of digital tools and consumer insights.

Meanwhile, the Top Transformers program is designed for leaders in Retailing and F&B who are tasted to manage people and deliver results regardless of ranking to produce a well-tuned working environment. The program, championed by PKT Logistics Group Sdb Bhd Group Chief Executive & Managing Director Dato’ Michael Tio, has kicked off in Januarty and will commence until March.

Speaking at the event, YB Dato’ Sri (Dr) Richard Riot expressed, “The time has come for our labour capital productivity to be further enhanced by embracing of the digital economy ecosystem. These flagship programmes are all game-changers for the Retail and F&B industry as well as the people of Malaysia. I am truly pleased to see our nation on its way towards fully grasping the possibilities the economy of the future holds for us.”

We have reached an age where technology is slowly overtaking human interaction and kids are drawn to it as well. Kids exposed to technology will tend to be more inclined towards leading a sedentary lifestyle as they stay glued to these gadgets. Kids naturally love to play and they should be encouraged to be active. Sports practices and games will provide the opportunity for exercise that can help kids to stay healthy and aid in their physical development.

Fun with water is also something that kids look forward to and what better way to have a good time playing with water than during bath time with bath toys. Although toys are seen as fun and games, it is definitely more than that. Toys can provide at least some opportunity for children to learn in all developmental areas. It provides opportunities for children to strengthen their physical skills, advance their social and emotional skills and enhance language development.

Setting out to bring splashing happiness to the children, CARRIE JUNIOR designed 6 cute toy figurines called ‘Sukan Ria’ to help develop their imaginative minds. As CARRIE JUNIOR defines the fun of bath time, it also encourages children to learn to embrace the positive value of social interaction as they play with the toys in creative and imaginative ways.

A total of 6 toy figurines which consists of CARRIE JUNIOR the elephant that loves football, SPEEDY TOMMY the fastest tortoise on the running tracks, TUFFY TEDDY the toughest bear, DRIBBLY MINKY the skilful raccoon in hockey, SMASHY MACKY the agile monkey that returns every shot and a sports trophy will each be randomly packed in every 700ml CARRIE JUNIOR product.

Similar to the previous packaging of CARRIE JUNIOR, the new toy collectibles will be hidden in a “secret chamber” which will house the “mystery” collectible toy figurine. The excitement of unravelling the “mystery” toy would encourage kids to explore, to stimulate their curiosity and offer them fun. With the introduction of the new CARRIE JUNIOR Sukan Ria toy collectibles, every bath session will be an adventure for the children as they unleash their imaginative minds.

The CARRIE JUNIOR & Buddies collectible figurines will be available with the 700ml pack for any variant of the CARRIE JUNIOR Baby Bath, CARRIE JUNIOR Baby Shampoo, CARRIE JUNIOR Baby Hair & Body Wash as well as the CARRIE JUNIOR Kids Shampoo.

How old is your mattress? Mine is just 2 years as I have changed my old mattress then. Many people might not know how long they have had their current mattress, some ever thought mattress is used for life. In fact, many experts have identified and concluded that we should change a new mattress every 10 years for better health.

Mattress is so close to us, and it is affecting our sleep and life so closely. A good mattress give us the optimal support for the whole night. However, mattress does age just like our skin. The mattress might lost its support over time. Besides taking good care of the mattress, for instance to put on mattress protector, it is also essential for us to invest a new mattress every 10 years.

Many people judge a mattress by its look. Actually, an old mattress that still looks good does not mean it does not need to be replaced. Imagine the old mattresses that have accumulate years and years of dead skin cells, sweat, and bacteria; it is a breeding ground for millions of creepy critters that are living there right now. Many skin issue, irritation or bad sleep are actually caused by the old mattresses.

An old mattress might also reduce the sleep quality. If you wake up with sore body, most probably you might need to change your mattress immediately for the good night sleep and rest.

Some people may thought a firm mattress is the best mattress but it might not. In fact, you should choose your mattress by trying it personally before buying. A firm mattress which seems comfortable to me might not bring be the same benefits to you. Hence I would always advice people to go and try out the mattresses before making any decision to invest in new mattress.

Now, a high quality mattress is definitely worth the investment for a good 10 years sleep.

One example is LOVE SERIES from Goodnite® Malaysia. Priced from RM 1999 to RM 5199, you would definitely found your new loved mattress from the range.

Watsons ELITE members, celebrities and members of the media and blogger community were treated to a special preview screening on 9 Feb 2018, one week ahead of the release date of the latest movie “Think Big Big”, produced by Astro Shaw and directed by Chiu Keng Guan of “The Journey” and “Olabola” fame. Director Chiu Keng Guan and the casts of “Think Big Big” were present to support the special preview screening in-line with Watsons collaboration with the movie as the health and beauty retail brand celebrates the #HappyBeautifulYear Chinese New Year campaign.

Cast members Serene Lim, Fabian Loo, Vivienne Oon, Yoong Swen Moon, Ruby Yap, Joanne Lau, Kam Hoe Kei, Billie Chong, Chew Swee Lee and director Chiu Keng Guan also participated in a chit chat session before the movie premiered, sharing their experiences about making the movie and the storyline that is so relevant in today’s society of self-validation especially among the millennials.

“Think Big Big” is about a confident plus-sized girl called Moon who dreams of becoming an astronaut. Brought up in a small town by her loving parents, she has always received unconditional love and support from them. Moon is contented with her job as a mascot talent.

However financial debts forced her to participate in a competition which requires her to share her fitness journey on social media. As she became an internet sensation, Moon’s life has turned upside down. She starts to lose the support of her loved ones. And the audience will have to watch what happens as she goes through a journey to regain her true happiness and winning back the people that she loves.

“The main message of the movie resonates with Watsons Malaysia’s advocacy of embracing our inner beauty and remembering our self-worth and confidence in a society today which promotes self-validation through social media. It is such an important time to remind people especially young impressionable females that they should love and accept themselves for who they are and are beautiful in their own special way. At Watsons Malaysia, we are very excited to reward our customers with lots of “prosperous” goodies and “money-can’t-buy” experiences as we usher in the Chinese New Year. Tonight we have our Watsons Elite members who have been supporting us in a big way in 2017 and we are rewarding them with an example of a “money-can’t-buy” experience where they will be one of the first to preview “Think Big Big” before the general release on 15 February 2018. Not leaving out our ELITE members outside the Klang Valley, this special preview screening also extends to the ELITE members in Kuching, Penang, Johor Bahru and Ipoh where there is a similar special preview screening running concurrently. We always try to go beyond in rewarding our loyal customers”, said Caryn Loh 罗宝霞, General Manager and Country Head of Watsons Malaysia.

According to Chiu Keng Guan, director of “Think Big Big”, Watsons Malaysia was an ideal partner for the movie, as Watsons advocates physical as well as inner beauty among its customers. Being more than a retail brand, Watsons engages with its customers through workshops, beauty forums, health and lifestyle events to encourage its customers to look at
beauty on a holistic level, which resonates with the main theme of “Think Big Big”.

After the chit chat session with the director and cast of “Think Big Big”, a ‘lou sang’ ceremony, with the appearances of the Watsons Whoopee mascot and the God of Prosperity character was held together with the Management of Watsons Malaysia, followed by a screening of the Watsons #HappyBeautifulYear Chinese New Year campaign video before the movie was screened. A meet and greet photo opportunity session with the cast of the movie together with Watsons ELITE members was held after the end of the movie screening.

Watsons customers can delight in the“Big Big Sale” extravaganza in celebration of the coming Chinese New Year. Continuing from the success of last year’s #HappyBeautifulYear Chinese New Year campaign, Watsons Malaysia promises to bring more value and excitement this year with a Chinese New Year celebration sale of up to 50% storewide happening now till 28 February 2018.

I like everything beauty, hence when IOI City Mall invited me to their beauty day out last month, I did not hesitate to RSVP myself to explore the beauty tenants there.

Our first stop was the World’s first Clarins retail kiosk that occupying a floor space of 600 square feet. It was fun to explore the open concept kiosk of this French luxury brand.

It is equipped with a Open Spa, a makeover area, a relaxing lounge, a travel zone, a maternity zone, a gift area, a sample wall, and a recycle zone.

My favourite zone was the Open Spa that offers a 30 minutes quick relaxing pampering while we are on the go.

Marking their 10th year in the industry, CoolBlog has opened its first ever largest store in Melawati Mall. Being a kiosk based beverage brand, CoolBlog has now taken a leap into its branding by revealing its new, refreshed and urbanised look.

What started as a kiosk-based dessert beverage brand has captivated the hearts of Malaysians by creatively infusing local and global flavours to create delectable ice blended and smoothie based creations. CoolBlog, as the international brand is known, is a Malaysian home-grown success story, introducing over 25 flavours of beverages and desserts with over 300 product variants.

This new 973 square feet dine-in store and concept conveys a more urbanised look and feel to customers. It has wooden fittings and frames as the base of its main counter. The familiar pink hue has evolved and is now a classy combination of black and pink that can be seen throughout the store. The new colour scheme paired with its sleek furniture will be sure to give you an urban feel.

“We saw Melawati Mall as the best location to start our flagship store as its location was within the busy urban area, and falls in line with our new target audience. The mall is constantly patronised by students, and families around the Klang Valley and this is an ideal place to start. We are also located right next to the cinema which is a perfect location given the daily traffic.” said Keith Loh, CEO of CoolBlog Apps Sdn Bhd.
