Last month, the Terms and Conditions Magazine’s team attended the Breezy Bliss X Arca Hotel event in celebration of pink October for International Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Super Pinket: Pink Perspective market was held at the Arca Hotel by Breezy Bliss and raised awareness for the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation. 

The moment you step out of the elevator doors, you are greeted by an assembly of pink —- pink crates holding pink bottles, fuschia decorated the walls, and a round table adorned with differing hues of rose and coral arranged into the words, “A Pink POV”. The rest of the venue is embellished by the same varieties of hue. Pink paper bras, posters of A Pink POV, and standing tables with self-care goodie bags surrounded the speaker area. Gianne Chan spoke to the eager audience sitting before her. She told stories of her mental health struggles, the importance of getting along with others, and how singing helped her in overcoming her struggles. Gianne ended her sharing session by singing two songs: one in English and another one in Cantonese. She gleefully imitated playing the guitar and spread her contagious joy.

After her sharing session, participants were free to roam around the hall and perused the pop-up marketplace. The lingerie booth gave out $200 vouchers for their products, independent sellers sold thrift clothes and accessories, a jewellery booth showcased their products from overseas, and a perfume booth personalised scents for each patron. Other participants returning from the fitness workshops flooded the venue.

OCTOBER 17 RECEPTION

“We Have to be Very Strong” launched their series of mental health workshops with art exhibitions and interactive displays, collaborating with renown artists and local entrepreneurs like Leanne Blu from The Blu Journal. With the project being separated into three parts, the first phase was hosted by Blu Journal where guest were greeted with three displays that helped them to step out of the quick pace of urban life, and to reflect upon their inner private lives. Walls were decorated with varying shades of blue as one of the interactive displays, and participants were to anonymously write a secret as a method of venting. Sonia Wong’s “Everything Booth” encouraged a similar sentiment as an art exhibition. It showcased the necessity of reflecting upon one’s mental health in the public, city life. Wong also fashioned a dance routine inspired by the Dance Dance Revolution arrows to inspire others to take detours more often; to stop and smell the roses.

The Blu Journal completed the launch event with their own contributions. They pioneered the Wishing Star booth: by creating a beaded charm and tying it to a star-shaped plush, participants can manifest their deepest wishes with other charm-makers. The Blu Journal also provided mirrors with prompts such as, “I am”, “you got this”, and “I feel” —- urging participants to write positive affirmations on the mirrors. By complementing the slow-paced reflective exercises of the other displays, The Blu Journal encouraged others to believe in themselves, and empowered participants with self-love and confidence.
