The 5 beautiful plumpies will each be receiving:
hair cut, color and styling from the skilled and creative team of Azta Urban Salon,
gorgeous make up from Kaycee Lim,
P600 worth of gift certificates from Erzullie
and
a set of the trendiest accessories from Forever 21 sponsored by our gorgeous mom!
Are you girls excited to see how this makeover turns out? :)
Also... Retty, one of the 5 primary winners, won't be able to make it because she's in the US. So we had to give the next best contest entry a chance for this opportunity. We've already settled this, and have chosen Erica. She's a 22-year old newbie in the world of body-acceptance, but has improved so much, style and confidence-wise, after a long period of body-hate. :) Here's a snippet of her essay.
"...I missed a lot of events just because I cared too much on how I look. I would just care less on things I wear, forcing myself to believe that for me to be able to wear good clothing, I need to get rid of this fats first and I don’t deserve to wear such fab dresses. So basically, tee and jeans is the only thing on my closet. I sometimes buy clothing way too smaller for me just to serve motivation for me to lose weight, then that just lead to a “ pile of never-worn-clothes”. And then I bumped into your website guys (just March). I found myself reading & clicking on “older post” link until I had read all. And I came to a realization of “love thy body” just with 1 site.It just hit me that I read somewhere, “God created you with His own image, so why would you hate your body?” It may not be as liberating and the bravest but I just wanted to share that there was a complete 360 degree turn around on how I treat my body. Lil by little, I’m now accepting and loving myself."
We're so excited to bond and meet all the girls! It's gonna be a looong and exciting day for everyone. We can't wait to see (and share with you) the before and after photos! ;)
I hope you had an amazing Holy Week! :)
Plump love,
Danah
