THANN + #NOMOREBULLIES

Yesterday, on November 3rd 2011, Fadi Ghaby, the owner of THANN Canada launched our newest campaign... THANN supports #NOMOREBULLIES campaign.

We've all seen the news, read the blogs, watch the YouTube videos of hundreds of kids suffering as victims of the age-old crime of bullying. Did you know that 300 kids take their own lives every year in Canada alone. That is an absolutely huge number that is just completely unacceptable. At this time and age, when we think we've come a long way in accepting others who are different from us, bullying still exists.

And it won't just go away. Not without a concerted and active effort to get rid of it.  

What is the #NOMOREBULLIES Campaign?

After seeing too many stories about bullying, the Majic 100 Morning show with Stu, Angie and Trish wanted to do something. A victim of bullying himself in high school, Stu tweeted one day that "If he had to visit every school in Ottawa to speak out against bullying he would". The #NoMoreBullies hashtag was created and the idea was born.

How can THANN help?

We are helping to raise awareness for this cause by donating $1 for every new follower we get in Twitter. We hope to promote anti-bullying ways by exposing the truth  in all social media platform available to us. We hope to find ways we can all work together to eliminate such a pervasive issue in our society. We would love for you to join us too!

How can you help THANN?

You can help support #NOMOREBULLIES campaign by doing a few very simple things. If you are in Twitter, please follow @thannskincare. We will donate $1 for every new follower. Say hello to us in THANN Facebook and tell us you 'LIKE' us!

THANN Shows Some Media Love

Over the years since we opened our first concept store in Canada as the first ever THANN retail store in North America, we have been fortunate enough to get a lot of media love. Perhaps we should have been more diligent in sharing these media features/articles written about THANN with you as we haven't done so in the past. We hope to change that...

We have also been privileged to be invited to so many prominent events recently and we really should have shared those experiences with you. THANN has been, for the very first time, in the front row of Ottawa Fashion Week, Beauty and Fashion Gala and many other high profile events in the city.

We actually hosted, in partnership with TWENTY YORK STREET Fashion Website, a very unique event called #LIFEOFSTYLE (a separate post coming up soon!) - a combination of Fashion, Beauty, Skincare, Food, Music and Dance event at the very chic and famous Arc Hotel. 

Here are some of our recent media mentions, on print and on-line. We are also invited to make some TV appearances in the next following weeks as prepare for, what we expect, as our biggest and busiest Christmas season yet! We will share all these exciting moments with you so stay tuned!

"Thann uses only the finest quality ingredients in their products. And trust me, the minute you feel and smell this, you will become a believer."

Adrienne (Best Things In Beauty blog) as written to Jane Daly of Daly Beauty Blog:

"Jane, thank you so much for featuring this wonderful company (THANN) and the Jasmine Blossom Collection! I ordered these and a lip balm. My order arrived amazingly quickly to my U.S. address, and the shipping was free. I'm a REALLY happy customer now."

On that note, we at THANN, would like to give back the love and show the esteemed members of the media some fun and pampering at our flagship store at 829 Bank Street, Ottawa! Promise, we'll share some of the photos and anecdotes from this very exciting event!
