MAGGI® CONTINUES TO INSPIRE WOMEN THROUGH ‘RESIPI BERANI MAGGI’

I was privileged to attend a virtual event on the Program Mentor Wanita Cukup Berani MAGGI® (PMWCBM) campaign, where MAGGI® unveiled its new six-episode TV series – Resipi Berani MAGGI®. The show complements the campaign’s learning and empowerment journey, as it has provided skills and leadership enhancement opportunities for the show’s contestants – also known as mentees, while showcasing their transformative journey towards achieving success. One of the main goals of the PMWCBM campaign is to inspire more women to step outside their comfort zone to try something new – embracing the Tak Kenal, Tak Cinta spirit. I totally love the idea of it, and the fact that their aim is to inspire women, it's definitely worth every moment for you to enjoy the six-episode TV series. 

For your information, they had almost 1,000 women who participated in the Bengkel Online Wanita Cukup Berani MAGGI® which was conducted in partnership with Google’s Women’s Will program last year. Eight mentees were selected as finalists in the TV series. The mentees were selected based on their resilience, courage and determination to succeed in their fledgling home-based food businesses, especially in today’s new reality.

Featuring the Top 8 Finalist from the show

In Resipi Berani MAGGI®, the mentees will receive a series of challenges in the following areas:

1) Business Acumen,

2) Digital and Cooking Skills

3) Feedback mentorship sessions with the three MAGGI® Mentors - Food Enthusiast and Brand Ambassador of MAGGI® CukupRasa Datin Paduka Eina Azman; Director, Producer, Actress and Owner of The Dim Sum Place, Sheila Rusly; and Young Entrepreneur Icon 2019 and Owner of My Mum’s Bakery, Anne Idris.

Sound familiar? It totally reminds me of all the hot shows like master chef, shark tank and the apprentice, but this being a Malaysian series, i would have to say that it's about time that someone takes the lead to not only inspire but guide the participants through to shine brighter than they ever knew they could. With all the structures of the challenges challenging each and every participant, not only the participants will benefit, but also the watchers who observe how they solve problems as the series goes on. 

The mentors of the program

The highlight of the show? The grand winner of the Resipi Berani MAGGI® will receive seed capital of RM8,000, and an 8-week mentorship programme with business icon, Anne Idris. The Second and Third place winners will receive seed capital of RM5,000 each. The eight finalists featured in the TV series Resipi Berani MAGGI® are home-based food business owners - Aza Syima Abdullah, Bibiaminani A. Ghani, Haslina Mohd Idris, Mazzaton Miza Wahab, Nur Azreen Masera Albakri, Nur Hidayah Jeffri, Roslina Mohd Isa, and Siti Aishah Abd Razak.

Speaking at the launch event, Geetha Balakrishna, Business Executive Officer of MAGGI®, Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad said, “The launch of Resipi Berani MAGGI® is very rewarding and exciting, as it marks the successful conclusion of the Program Mentor Wanita Cukup Berani MAGGI® 2020. The series’ main objective is to highlight the transformation and emotional journey of the mentees, which will inspire other women to take that first step to try something new and bring a positive change for themselves and also their loved ones. We see how the mentees are able to step outside their comfort zone, overcome challenges and experience personal growth under the able guidance of the Mentors. We hope to able to support more women through Program Mentor Wanita Cukup Berani MAGGI® Chapter 2021.

Immune UP | Trending Immune Booster

Hey guys, with the covid cases going up, have you ever wondered on what can be done to improve on our immunity? Well, usually the answer to that would be to eat healthily and to add on supplements to boost our immunity. I was recently offered to try the Immune UP immune booster, and since I believe that I do need to level up my immune system, I decided to give myself a go by trying the Immune UP Booster. In today's review, I'll be sharing with you what I think about the Immune Booster, from its benefits to the taste of it when consuming.

Immune UP

Starting off with a little introduction on the supplement, it has been basically designed and formulated to boost up your immunity sourced from immune-boosting ingredients such as Beta-glucan, Propolis, Echinacea, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3 and Zinc, all being available in one sachet. With high evidence-based and powerful advanced formula, it naturally strengthens your immune system and activates the body's immune defense against getting any infections. How is this possible? The immunomodulatory effect of Beta-glucan has been attributed to the activation of innate as well as cellular and humoral immunity that includes monocytes, neutrophils, natural killer cells and antibodies. 

Benefits of Consuming Immune UP

You may be wondering what would be the benefits of consuming Immune UP if youre reading this. What it does is that it supports a healthy and optimal immune system, giving your body extra protection during this pandemic season. On top of that, it reduces symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections, and it also naturally activates the body's immune system to be ready and at their guard. Containing powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, it protects while possessing anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties as well. Other than that, it's also a great energy booster that helps you to combat fatigue.

The packaging and content

A little close up on what the packaging looks like, I would have to say at first glance it does look like its an anti-virus for your computer, but don't be fooled as this is actually a box that would give you a boost in immunity that contains 20 individually packed sachets for you to consume. It would be advisable for you to consume this daily, alternatively if youre on a budget, you can also consume this based on your needs as well. Each box retails at RM85, which I think is a fair price considering if you divide the 20 sachets, it would actually cost you RM4.25 per consumption.

Taste and Texture

To prepare this, all you need is to add the contents of the sachets into a glass of water, mix evenly and drink. Well, to break it down to you, the content of the Immune Booster sachet is in powder form and it has a tangy lime flavor. To those who know me, you would know that im not the kind of person who enjoys consuming 'weird' flavors, but this was surprisingly palatable. It was easy to swallow, and if you like it cold, feel free to add some ice into your drink. (Or at least, that's how I enjoy mine). hehe.

Verdict

As a verdict, I would like to conclude in my post that it's a great supplement to include in your diet especially with the covid cases numbers rising up like we just won a lottery. You migth be wondering who should be consuming this? Well, it can be the elderly, a cancer patient, those going through a poor diet, those facing high-stress levels, and even those with diabetes. I honestly am not facing any of those issues, but I actually love the feeling it gives me, especially when my body is at guard and energized for me to run my daily routines. Since im working from home, i have to confess that i consume this supplement on days im planning to head out (cause we can't be too sure who we might meet outdoors). Better safe than sorry!
