Queen Bee is a fan of The Body Shop

Remember my post about Oceanus? Let me talk more about this Oceanus-fetish.

Sebenernya gue seneng mencoba hal-hal baru. Tapi, kalo masalah fragrances, gue nggak bisa kompromi. Harus Oceanus, gimanapun caranya! Sempet baca di internet kalo wanginya mirip sama Rimmel's London Glam for Women. Gue belum tau, mungkin nanti coba beli buat nyium sendiri. I can never believe that there's a perfume which can immitate the special scent of Oceanus. Come on, glam and ocean are two different things! :p

Nggak cuma Oceanus sih, I love The Body Shop's products generally. Soalnya, mereka adalah perusahaan yang "go green" beneran! Nggak cuma pasang slogan "go green" karena sekarang global warming lagi jadi trend (what the hell does 'go green' mean anyway?). Tahun 1986, mereka kerjasama dengan Greenpeace untuk kampanye "Save the Whales". Tahun 1990, mereka gabung sama Friends of The Earth. Siapa coba yang pas itu udah mikirin global warming?


Ngomongin brand ini, pasti juga ngomongin foundernya, mendiang Anita Roddick. She's just so inspiring! Dia juga mendirikan Children of The Edge, lembaga nirlaba yang membantu anak-anak korban perang dan konflik. Tahun 2005, Anita Roddick nyumbangin kekayaannya sebesar £51 juta. Dia juga nyumbangin semua asetnya untuk amal sebelum dia meninggal!

Salah satu campaign Body Shop paling sukses (dan bikin gue makin ngefans sama Anita) adalah dibuatnya boneka Ruby, 'saingan' Barbie, yang size badannya 16! Dia lahir sebagai "duta" kampanye self-esteem Body Shop. Banyak cewek (misalnya gue dan lo) yang pengen kurus, tinggi, berrambut lurus panjang, like a Barbie. But Ruby is just different, yet she's pretty. :)


I love the caption. :)

Anita once said,
“The business of business should not just be about money, it should be about responsibility. It should be about public good, not private greed.“
Okta, Vla, we MUST implement this "philosophy" on our clothing line!!

What do you think about that Ruby? I'd love to be "one-of-a-kind" like her...

Love yourselves, girls!

Queen Bee reports:
I bought more than 15 bottles of Oceanus. I won't tell the exact number but... well... yeah. I am a real fan. Can hardly live without it.

Queen Bee stings the bottles of Oceanus fragrance!

YAYYY!!! Setelah sempat "hilang" karena di-discontinue, akhirnya sisa stok OCEANUS dilaunch sama The Body Shop! I LOVE YOU (a bit), BODY SHOP!

Gue waktu itu chaotic banget pas denger Oceanus gak akan dirilis lagi, padahal baunya enak banget kan, bau pantai, bau mama... :) Sempet sedikit nggak rela waktu mau ngebalikin 20an botol Oceanus ke Body Shop untuk direcycle, tapi demi Bumi, tetep gue balikin juga akhirnya (toh masih ada sisa banyak biarpun kosong...Sambil berharap mereka mau bikin refill counter untuk botol-botol Oceanus gue yang kosong. Is it possible?). Dan sekarang...

I REALLY DON'T CARE THAT COLDPLAY, OASIS AND KAISER CHIEFS ARE GOING TO SINGAPORE... AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT JAMIROQUAI EITHER... I'LL SPEND MY MONEY ON THOSE OCEANUS BOTTLES!!!

Got to go nowwww... to buy those bottles of Oceanus! NOW! Mulai siang ini, semua Oceanus yang ada di toko, pindah ke kamar gue!!! Abisnya tinggal sisa stok, SETELAH ITU GAK AKAN ADA LAGI! :( So you, my dear blog readers, must not but them. Hehehe. Semua botol Oceanus itu buat gue. Period! :p

PS: What's your favourite eau de toilette? Let me know! :)

Queen Bee on...hairdryers? :D

Aduh aneh yaaa, tiba-tiba gue kepikiran tentang HAIRDRYER hehehe. Mau sharing aja sih sebenernya, bahwa kalo mau beli hairdryer, make sure you use the one with ion...itu beneran loh bikin rambut lebih sehat...gue sudah mengalami efek positifnya heheheh. Selama ini, gue pake yang Panasonic Ionity, tapi merek-merek laen juga udah banyak sih yang pake ion ini...:)

Oke deh, sekian tips untuk hari ini...;p
