Star Fitness International Yoga Day 2022

July 4, 2022October 5, 2022 dixonthum

On 25 June 2022, Star Fitness gym and fitness center has organized a yoga session “Star Fitness International Yoga Day 2022” at Centro Mall Klang. This yoga session was conducted by famous local celebrity, Atilia Haron.

In conjunction with World Yoga Day 2022 on 21 June 2022, the Star Fitness International Yoga Day 2022 aims to promote yoga as one of the exercises that include mental and physical health. “There are various styles in yoga which are able to educate the soul to be in a positive state while making yourself and your body healthier,” said Mr. Syed Shaddad, Managing Director of Star Fitness.

The word yoga comes from the ancient Sanskrit “Yuj” which means to unite, connect or combine. It is a type of exercise based on three elements namely movement, breathing and meditation. As a fitness enthusiast and a yoga lover myself, I agree that by practicing yoga consistently, it helps to cope with stress, losing weight, increase strength, stability and flexibility including promote better quality sleep.

The two-hour yoga session which started at 8.00 am to 10.00 am was divided into two parts, namely Session 1 with Atilia Haron and Session 2 with Harrison Jub. Each session lasted for an hour and was attended by nearly 80 people comprising Star Fitness club members and the general public. Apart from that, the event was also attended by Malaysia’s popular celebrities and influencers such as Raden Zaharatul, Saidah Kamarudin, influencer Chan Khye, and finalists of Mr. World Malaysia 2022, El-Umar, Jack Kho, Parvin, Zaim and Raja Irshad.

Founded in March 2020, Star Fitness is confident that the organization of such health programs will be able to continue in the future and Star Fitness will continue to strive to provide the highest quality, best and most enjoyable fitness experience. Apart from having 4 clubs operating in locations such as Aeon Big Subang Jaya, Aeon Big Wangsa Maju, Viva Shopping Mall and Centro Mall Klang, the public, especially Penangites can expect several clubs to open soon in Aeon Big Seberang Jaya, Prai Penang and Aeon Big Bukit Minyak Penang.

Besides Star Fitness, Star Fitness International Yoga Day 2022 was also sponsored by Under Armour, Yogood, Gramps Asia and AA Naturals. Any further enquiries, please visit www.starfitness.com.my

Aromatherapy-based Treatment with Urban Bliss Wellness for Holistic Relaxation

June 23, 2022June 23, 2022 dixonthum

There is a new aromatherapy concept spa & wellness centre newly opened in Putrajaya. Urban Bliss Wellness is located on the 3rd floor of Mercure Living Putrajaya, provides holistic health and wellness treatments like relaxing body massage, foot reflexology, aromatherapy massage, facial, body scrub, jacuzzi and many more!

I just went to Urban Bliss Wellness for a 180-minute Journey package; complete with their Signature Respite full body aromatherapy massage with manual lymphatic drainage, body scrub and Rebalance facial. After so long, finally I get to enjoy some total relaxation here. Not only was my whole body taken care of, the whole session took place in a very comfortable environment with soothing and relaxing music being aired and kept my mind calm and serene. The surrounding was filled with an aromatic scent that smelled very pleasant.

The treatment started off with a welcome drink. The friendly staff there explained to me their packages and then invited me to the foot washing area. After cleaning my feet, I was ushered to one of their massage rooms for a full body scrub, full body massage and facial treatment. I noticed that the massage technique here is very different from other places that I have been. Every rub and knead is light and gentle on the surface but firm and reaches deep to release tight and tension muscles. They use their own aromatherapy oil too. So the whole session smelled great! My session ended with a relaxing facial treatment. My skin felt so soft and hydrated after the session.

For me, I really like the overall feel that this treatment has given me. Throughout the session, I felt pampered and relaxed. The staff there were very friendly too. There are even a few VIP rooms and a couple room with jacuzzi tub, very suitable for honeymoon couples and newlyweds. Definitely a great place to recharge and rejuvenate.

Urban Bliss Wellness just opened in May 2022 and is currently having a Grand Opening Special promotion – 10%+10% off for ALL TREATMENTS. Make your reservation now and show yourself some self-love and pampering. Time to recharge and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul!

Cyber Eco Hunt 2022 – Towards A Sustainable Future

June 18, 2022May 10, 2023 dixonthum

I am so glad that I have the opportunity to play a small role in this meaningful event Cyber Eco Hunt 2022 by @alamflorasdnbhd with the theme “Towards A Sustainable Future” in Kuantan, Pahang.

The event aims to show commitment by Kumpulan Alam Flora and their continuous effort to reduce 40% recyclable wastage sent to disposal sites towards 2025. I had so much fun with the other participants who are also fellow bloggers and influencers in all the activities in each checkpoints.

The event was officiated by Dato’ Mohd Zain Hassan, CEO of Alam Flora Sdn Bhd, and also attended by Tuan Sharudin bin Hamid, Director of SWCorp Pahang.

There are a few points that I have learned from this activities:
1⃣ Dispose garden wastage like tree branches and bamboos the proper way, so that it is safe for Alam Flora staff during rubbish collection.

2⃣ “Beach comber” is used to clean up the beach around Teluk Cempedak, which removes rubbish like cigarette butts, plastic bottles and cans from the sandy beach.

3⃣ Segregate recycleables into 3 main categories – paper, plastic and others, and sell them to any Buy Back Centre or 3R on wheels. Earn when you recycle.

4⃣ 1 Supervisor 1 Transformation Area (1S1T) program, an initiative by supervisors of Alam Flora to improve the surroundings of their servicing area, an effort giving back to the community. They beautify the area, build playground and garden, make and paint sculptures with recycled rubber tyres and many more.

5⃣ Dining with tiffin containers to avoid using ‘single-use plastic’, is a more environmental-friendly way to pack food. Also, avoid food wastage can help to reduce methane gas which contribute to global warming.

6⃣ Plant more trees to make the Earth greener.

I was lucky enough to win a prize for one of the tasks we had to do throughout the event – Saya Sayang Bumi, Tree Planting (Blogger category). Very grateful to my team mates and glad to know other fellow blogger and influencer friends with the same passion and interest.

You can also be a part of this effort and join Alam Flora’s “Manage My Waste” TikTok Vlog Contest. Head over to @alamflorasdnbhd or this click this link for more information.
