Healthy Beauty with Oriflame

The work of my talk partner is to bring health and beauty to people in everyday routine. Positive, with a charming smile Aigerim Zholzhanova, is the Manager for Product Communications of Oriflame company in Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Expecting the spring holiday, March 8, having talked a little about the woman’s issues, Aigerim shared her secrets of beauty, told a little about sports in her life and in her family, about friendship with our company and about personal goals in the upcoming event of Almaty Marathon.

"My secrets of beauty are my family, my husband, children, friends, sports and cosmetics of Oriflame company. Beauty is only appearance ... in any case, many people think so. But it is not what we think. We are a Swedish beauty brand, and we think differently. For us, beauty is something more. This is a reflection of your chosen lifestyle, where it is important both how you look, and how you feel. Real beauty for us is the harmony of the inner and the outer.

I actively go in for sports, go to fitness club. I participate in all races, in the Marathon and of course, I use skin care and face care products of Oriflame company. The most important thing is my family, which supports my undertakings. This support gives me that inner beauty and energy that I radiate," says Aigerim.

Sport, health, beauty are the inseparably associated concepts. And in this triad, health and beauty are the results of regular sports activities. For a long time, sport was associated with a healthy lifestyle, and an athletic figure with beauty. And to this day, exercise is not out of fashion. Therefore, health, beauty and sports are always mentioned together. I was wondering how, with the her very busy life arrangements, Aigerim finds time for sports.

"For the last two years, I have actively started to do sports. 3 times a week I ran and additionally I swam. But now I have chosen the best option for myself - a fitness club. I attend it 2-3 times a week, with the individual trainer. I like it because it helps me to maintain my tone up. It gives me energy. Sometimes, together with my younger son, we go to the fitness club together," Aigerim tells me with energy, showing photos from the gym.

Running is the most affordable and widely spread kind of sports. It saturates blood with oxygen, raises the tone up, gives a sense of joy and euphoria, makes the order of the body and soul. You can run anywhere, anytime, and at any age. And this year challenging herself, the beauty manager, the loving wife, mother and just a super women - Aygerim decided to run 10 km distance.

"My elder son was the first in our family who started to participate in the Marathon. For 2 years he ran at 10 km distance. Last year, he made a dash and ran 21 km - half marathon distance. This year, he was upset that he could not participate in Almaty Marathon, since he would not be in Almaty during this period. My daughter runs for about a year, she is actively engaged in tennis. This is the main responsibility of parents to involve children in sports and develop. As for the husband, he regularly attends the gym, but he never participated in the races and the Marathon. This year he will run with me for 10 km distance for the first time. My husband decided to support me particularly with respect to running, for which I am grateful to him. So, three of us will run: I, my husband and my daughter "- she shared her plans for the Marathon smiling looking at me and opening her notebook.  

"Why exactly 10 km, and not participation in relay marathon? I want to feel another aura, to catch that excitement when 15,000 people start at a time. I think this is a completely different energy, a different drive. And for me it is a challenge to run 10 km with my husband. Feelings will be completely different, I'm sure. Well and yet ... I do not want to lag behind my son "- laughing and with embarrassment she told me about her feelings expected from the sporting event.  

For 2 consecutive years Oriflame participated in the relay marathon team race. But this year the representatives of the beauty industry decided to run each individually - the Marathon and a half marathon distance. Aigerim proudly and enthusiastically shares with the results of her colleagues in the field of sports.    

"The colleagues regularly run. This year we do not have the relay marathon team, because everyone decided to run absolutely different distances, 10, 21, 42. Thanks to participation in races and active promotion of sports in our company, the guys really have become physically stronger and everyone decided to participate in the Marathon individually. They went to Tallinn, to Kiev to marathons, and plan to participate in other marathons. Therefore, most of the active athletes from the company will run the long distances, also there are guys who will run the half marathon distance. Running is the life we have experienced, it is the drive that Oriflame participants like.

For 3 years Oriflame has been the prize partner of all races, and also an honorary partner of Almaty Marathon. For us, it is not just a partnership, for us it's friendship, trust, and quality. And each of us investing a little bit of soul in this project makes our friendship stronger with every year.

Yes. Indeed we are great friends. And I, with pleasure, go to participate in your events. Saltanat and her team for me are the very people who actively do everything to make sports in Almaty not just a beautiful word, but they do everything and even more to involve people in it. In fact it is a great and laborious affair. For us Almaty Marathon is a close person, whom it is always pleasant to communicate with and whom we are always open to! Almaty Marathon is one of the large-scale charity projects! Oriflame company always supports such projects with great pleasure. We are great friends, and I really hope that it will be long."

And finally, which accessories no well-cared, sportive and beautiful women of the beauty industry will leave the house without? Without long thinking, Aigerim shared 5 things that are always in her bag.

1. Protein bar Wellness by Oriflame
2. Lipstick
3. Hand cream
4. Face powder
5. Rouge

Health and Sport. Key factors of beauty. These spring holidays it's the time to start transforming. Start with us.
