White collar boxing event

A loooong time ago, in one of the very first posts, I told you about an exciting event that Urban Icon was sponsoring:

Urban Icon sponsor white-collar Boxing Event!

Q. What is it? 

A.  A charity event to raise money for the Lewis Paul Mighty fund. White-collar workers train for 8 weeks and then box for 3 x 2 minute rounds in a black tie event at SYN nightclub in Derby on the 19th December.

Q. Why?

A. Lewis is a 5 year old boy who suffers from a rare form of cancer (stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma) which mainly targets under 5s. The immunotherapy treatment is not available in Europe and Lewis’s best chance of survival is to receive immunotherapy treatment at a cancer clinic in New York City. £215,00 has already been raised and the target is £300,000. To find out more, see the funkyclubfitness page on Facebook.

Our accounts manager, Ben Waring, went along to this fun event - as a VIP no less! The support for Lewis was fantastic, with over 1000  people attending. Ben told me: "The fights were amazing - all in the aid of charity, with lots of stylists and salon owners attending." Judging by the pictures he sent, I think he thought the ring side girls were pretty amazing too!

The event took place on the Sunday before Christmas. Well done to all - everyone gave it 100%, taking part wholeheartedly.

 

Latest news. Top tips for fabulous hair from celebrity stylist, Christian Vermaak. Get glam hair for those Xmas parties!

Hi there,

Well, I'm all better now (that was a nasty little bug though) and thought I'd better find out the latest news for you. Well, apparently, Christian Vermaak - stylist to the stars - is now singing the praises of Cloud Nine straightening irons and TheO pod. This week, in 'My Weekly', he describes how he styles the ever glamorous Danni Minogue:

"To get a tousled bob look like Danni's, you need a good choppy cut to make it work. Once the hair is dry, just pick up random sections of hair and curl them all different ways. Try using one of the Cloud Nine styling tools."

He also talks about how he achieves the end result for the lovely Felicity Kendall:

"To achieve the soft curl and movement that Felicity's hair has, I would use the new heated rollers from Cloud Nine called TheO. They are GENIUS! You simply pop theVelcro roller into TheO pod for four seconds and beep, beep . . . It's done ready and just at the right temperature to roll into the hair."

 Well, you've got the advice - now get the styling tools or pop them on your Xmas list! Then impress everyone with your glam, gorgeous hair at all those Xmas and New Year's Eve parties you've been invited to!

Hi there people,

Well, I'm battling a nasty bug at the mo, so rather than passing it onto my lovely colleagues in Urban Icon, I'm propped up on pillows in my sick bed - making sure that the latest Urban Icon and Cloud Nine news is posted on the blog. Sympathy please!!! Anyway, enough of me - here's the latest news . . .


I'm absolutely delighted to hear that not only the sexy and gorgeous Kimberley Walsh of Girls Aloud is a massive fan of TheO, but she has even - whisper it (!!!) - bought one direct from Cloud Nine as an Xmas pressie for someone very close to her! And not only that, but stunning Cheryl Cole has been won over by TheO and LOVES it! They both want one and I'm sure they will have one of their own very, very soon! Leo Bancroft, top celebrity hairstyler, says - in 'Christmas Feast' magazine: "Why not try a big blow dry that will leave you feeling glamorous and sexy?" He gives a step by step guide to using the fab TheO to create, "That perfect party hair."

Also, did any of you watch The Gadget Show on Monday night? TheO was featured in their Christmas special! Watch this space to see if we can sort out a clip for you to see.

December's issue of Edinburgh lifestyle mag 'I-On Edinburgh' featured cool Christmas packages: The Gift of Chrismas Straight and The Gift of Christmas Volume . . . describing them as 'covetable'.

'Hair' magazine's 'Hot this month' section describes TheO as an 'amazing new device' which leaves you with 'shiny, volumized curls'.

 

'Essentials' Magazine, Jan edition, say if you want to add some 'va va voom' to your hair' and get 'beautifully big hair in minutes' then TheO is for you!

More news in - if you're a fan of 'Heat' and 'Look', TheO is featured in both this week!

That's all for the mo, need a lemsip!!! Back in a while . . .

The Scots love us too!

Well, there's certainly been a lot to catch up on today! More news in from our Scottish neighbours - the Daily Record, a Scottish national with a circulation of over 324,000 (lots more people to discover how fab Cloud 9 and Keratin products are!) has a fashion and beauty section called  'Julie's Fashion Fix'. This is the wonderful Julie Hannah's guide to fashion must haves. She wants, needs and loves TheO!
 
'Want it-need it-love it . . .'

Julie told her readers:

'Girls, if there's one hair product that will change your life, TheO by Cloud Nine is it. Big, bouncy hair in just four seconds - sounds too good to be true, huh?

It is fantastic to see top trade journals such as Hair Magazine praising and loving the Cloud 9 Straightening Irons - they really are fab and it's great to hear that from the experts. So, what are you waiting for? Get them on that Christmas list. If your salon doesn't stock them, ask them to find out if they can!!! You don't want to miss out on the best straightening irons that exist in the current market.

Another beauty blog, Handbag.com, have included TheO in their 30 hottest hair tools! It comes in at number 8, which we think is pretty damn good! As I said, it's fab to see more and more beauty blogs discover our great hair gadgets and sing their praises. They describe TheO s 'Revolutionising rollers' that create a 'head of Hollywood curls by the time the roller cools'. And they also say, 'they're brilliant when you find yourself time poor between parties.
