Standard Media’s Eve Woman awards Self-love campaign winners

Standard Media’s Eve Woman on Valentine’s Day awarded winners who took part in the on- going Self Love Campaign. The initiative is driven by Standard Digital under Eve Digital and the Eve Magazine (pullout in the Saturday Standard).

The focus of the campaign is to address self-love, particularly the issue of mental, physical and emotional wellness in women. Self-love drills down to loving yourself before loving others as opposed to waiting for validation and permission from the society. Women in Kenya, and indeed around the globe, have been conditioned to be selfless often putting their needs after those of their spouses, children and other members of society. In this regard, according to Women's Health, women are more likely to experience symptoms of stress as compared to men and are more susceptible to depression and anxiety.

An array of enticing prizes were awarded to the winners, including three nights full board holiday to Ciala Resort and Diani Reef; spa treatments at Entim Sidai, beauty gift hampers form Linton’s Beauty World and an enviable dinner at Royal Tulip and Lord Erroll.

“It is encouraging to see women come of age to determine their worth, be more confident in themselves and refuse to be validated by men and the society at large. We truly believe that to love and receive love, one must learn to love themselves,” said Njambi Mungai, the editor, Eve Digital.

“As a brand that speaks to women, we aim to empower them and hopefully have an impact in their day-to-day lives as they continue changing the world and being such an important pillar of the society,” she added.

The Self-love campaign is aimed at reminding women to take a step back and reflect on what it means to love oneself and care for one’s mental well- being.

The campaign is continuing up to the end of the month. Audiences are encouraged to continue participating in the trivia questions posted every week on the Eve Woman Magazine Facebook page.
