The BDJ Rendezvous: Women in Action is all about staying active and productive
It's been exactly two years since I last attended a BDJ Rendevouz and I just realized how I miss attending this BDJ activity. Last April 21, me and my friends have fun attending the workshop/talk and being with your co-Bellas is such a nice way to spend your Saturday afternoon.
In
its continued commitment to encourage women to reach their productivity
goals, Viviamo! Inc., makers of the Belle
de Jour Power Planner and Navi: Your Life Navigator Journal, recently concluded
its first BDJ Rendezvous for the year entitled ‘Women in Action.’’
BDJ
Rendezvous is the community’s
on-ground effort to connect and inspire Bellas through a series of inspiring
talks and sessions. For this year, Women in Action aimed to help women
to be productive, purposeful and active during summer and beyond.
Hosted
by vlogger and professional makeup artist Genzel Habab, the event brought
together women from different ages in an afternoon of fun and learning at the
2nd level of The Podium. Guests were treated to
four engaging talks from distinct individuals who shared their knowledge
and expertise about health, wellness, and creative hobbies that they can
pursue.
Calligrapher
Nicole Sanchez shared her humble beginnings, inspirations, and taught the
basics of Calligraphy. Bellas were provided with starter brush pens and
worksheets where they tried their hand in calligraphy. Patricia Mirasol, on the
other hand, stressed the importance of changing one’s mindset to achieve
his/her health and fitness goals.
Business
and fitness enthusiast Carla Piscoso related how she once battled with
insecurities and low self-esteem back then. She then encouraged Bellas that in
order to feel confident about how they look and feel, they should first start
with themselves. “It all starts with you,”shared Patricia Mirasol. “The first
person that can help you feel and look good is yourself. When you look in the
mirror, don’t pinpoint your flaws. Look at yourself and say I am beautiful.”
Lastly,
photographer and makeup artist Gorvachev Bernardo discussed about his tips and
techniques about basic photography, photo editing and ways to achieve visually
appealing photos using a smartphone. Bellas learned that in order to achieve
feed goals, they should not overly edit their photos and refrain from zooming
in to retain the photos’ quality.

Apart
from the series of talks, bellas also enjoyed games that challenged their
creativity, collaboration and communication. They were also given a great deal
of prizes from both the raffles and games.
