Women Learn to Take Real Care of Themselves

Audience, Finsbury Park, Rainbow Theatre,

Wednesday 27th March 2013

Women are subjected to so many pressures these days that it is quite innovative for them to take time out from their work and domestic responsibilities and concentrate on their own needs. Nonetheless, this happened at the Rainbow Theatre, Finsbury Park on Saturday March 23rd.

The occasion was Love, Life and Lipstick, a two-hour empowerment programme run jointly by the DKW and The Chrissy B TV shows on My Channel Sky 203.  Around 200 women attended; and the occasion was highly praised by the two guest speakers, clinical psychologist Jacqui Marson and Zumba instructor Maxine Jones.

Jacqui, who is an occasional guest on the DKW Show, maintains that self-belief is a massive problem for women in the UK because of the pressures on them to look this way, do that, conform and put others first. She remarked that the audience had been highly receptive to the interactive session she gave with presenters from the shows.

Maxine was impressed by the “wonderfully welcoming atmosphere” she experienced at the event. Like Jacqui, she emphasised the need for women to put themselves first occasionally, recommending Zumba as a great stress-buster and ideal for fighting off the persistent gloom that seems to be linked to the UK’s miserable weather.

The afternoon also included a talent show for members of the audience with prizes and make-up tips. An item entitled unlocking the male mind, provided thought-provoking insights into men’s views on what constitutes a successful relationship.

Gemma Leon one of the DKW presenters added: We were pleased with the live event on Saturday. There was a balanced mix of entertainment, advice, self help and reflection. The audience reaction was very positive and I believe they benefitted from the entire event.”

Her colleague DKW presenter Nanda Bezerra, who was responsible for organising the show, brought proceedings to an end by speaking about the importance of self love and focussing on your best attributes.

Every woman in the audience received a white balloon and was invited to write on it something about herself that she wished to leave behind – namely her uncertainties, insecurities and so on.  As they burst the balloons, the audience vowed to focus on their best attributes and use them to building better lives for themselves.
