Happy International Womens Day

galsdayout — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:41:44 +0000

Happy International Women’s Day to GDOs fan base and to other women in the Diaspora.

Today is an important day. At GDO we are celebrating INDIVIDUAL UNIQUENESS. We, women, often find more fault in ourselves than in others..when we are not putting another down, we are tearing ourselves up for one thing or the other. Today, take a breather… its your day…we urge you to introspect and focus on your best qualities. Focus on other womens’ best qualities.

Blessed Week ahead…

Ladies Wellness Seminar

galsdayout — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 15:35:31 +0000

Gals Day Out is hosting a Ladies Wellness Seminar at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa next week Thursday 4th March.

We feel that matters Reproductive need to be thrashed out both professionally and thoroughly so that we have the relevant and correct information to make decisions. In this vein, GDO is partnering with Family Health Options Kenya in the Wellness Seminar.

The issues to be spoken about at the clinic fall under two Broad Categories: Reproductive Health (RH) and Skin Care.

For RH, the following will be dealt with

Cervical Cancer: What it is, What it is not, what causes it, what you can do to prevent or manage it, Pap Smears …

There is currently a Cervical Cancer Vaccine campaign going on in the country. You must have seen huge billboards along Thika Road and another along Mombasa Road (near the Kaburini area). A local Radio station is also involved in this awareness. At GDO we believe it is imperative that our young women are provided with as much education about this killer disease as possible.According to cancer.org the statistics are horrifying. For more information on cervical cancer, please visit preventcervicalcancer.ie/glossary/asp.

2. Breast Cancer: What it is, What it is not, Self- Breast Examinations, management and preventative measures…

3. Reproductive Care & Hygiene: Personal care during the special days of the month, keeping a menses calendar (cycle), discharge (what is normal, what is not), ovulation (what is it and what does it mean), Hormonal changes…

Participants should anticipate a Question and Answer session where they may ask their desired questions.

There will also be a Facial Skin Care session where participants will be educated on Facial Skin Care…our skins are affected by the elements and hormonal changes in equal proportions…so what should you expect to learn?

How to take care of your face when it acts up with acne, whiteheads, pimples or black heads
How to take care of painful scaring or dullness/lifelessness
How to do a DIY (Do It Yourself) facial
How to chose the right products for your skin type and so much more

We are in the process of arranging for a beauty clinic where some participants will stand a chance to win Manicures, Pedicures and Facials.

This event will be fun and informative. In line with our Club objectives, we intend the event to provide the relevant information to the participants so as to empower their decisions.

We are looking forward to a great turn out and a fun filled time.

ALL ARE WELCOME:

Strength of a woman

Do you know any of these women? They embody success, strength but best of all, service to the people of Kenya. Love them or hate them, the ‘damage’ is done. they are officially deservedly, Kenyan Heroines.

They have, in their own way, pushed for some sort of change in our society. Lets celebrate them
