it’s day 12 of movember, and the vitaminwater crew are beginning to feel the itch. well some of us anyway.

for those of us finding this whole affair a bit harder than others (i.e. me), i’ve decided to don my research cap and trawl the interwebs for some handy tips and tricks aimed at growing and handling that illustrious mo. here’s what i came up with:

- don’t shave: obvious, but probably the most important aspect of growing a mo.

- talk to your tashe: how will it know to grow if you don’t tell it to? keeping that mo in check with a few firm manly words is a sure fire way to stop any mo slacking.

- keep it trim: so what if mo growth works well for you. it is nothing without a bit of a spruce to keep things nicely groomed. make sure you pick a mo style that works for you, and be sure that your mo becomes good friends with a trimmer once in a while!

- be in good company: surround yourself with good inspiration! go out and find some mo mates for encouragement and gentlemanly pursuits.

- change your ‘tude: begin to embrace the manly changes! at first, randomly flexing whenever spotting your reflection may feel a little strange, but you’ll soon warm up to it and realize it’s just a part of mo life. this isn’t just hair, it’s a lifestyle.

so with these tips and tricks in tow, we carry on our movember adventure! here is our mo-gress from the past week:

it’s been a chilly five days for the thousands across the globe, who’ve put skin to metal and unmercifully got rid of their face fur. all in the name of a good cause, obviously.

we here at vitaminwater hq don’t like to be left out of proceedings, and have got royally stuck in! three of our very own mo bro’s (well, two trying to be anyway) and one brave mo sista have all shed what little facial hair they had in the name of the prostate cancer charity. allow us to take a few moments to introduce ourselves…

we’re also sending out a massive salute to all the brave mo bro’s and mo sista’s out who have also bared all for movember! we’d love to see how you guys are getting on (as well as staking out the competition), so post up your movember facial updates to the vitaminwater facebook page!

also, please dig deep and help out movember, by donating to the mo you think deserves the dough! you can click through to each of our donation pages by clicking ‘donate!’ underneath each of our names, and by donating you’ll be doing your bit to raise awareness of this deadly disease.

stay tuned for the rest of the month for mo’ fun and frolics as the vitaminwater movember crew try everything in their power to turn themselves into the more dashing members of society!

ah, the essence of the modern gentleman. he is refined, oozes style and finesse, and a force to be reckoned with. a sartorial luminary, if you will.

having said this, a true gent falls short if he is without the definitive symbol of masculinity – the mighty mo. throughout the month of november, thousands of gents will be grooming a fine set of moustaches for the annual movember fundraising campaign. that’s right, for 30 days, men across the globe must promote the growth of, and ensure the ample maintenance of their very own mo.

however, these guys aren’t simply doing this in the name of frivolity. the movember campaign is all in support of the prostate cancer charity, the uk’s leading prostate cancer charity. prostate cancer is currently the most common cancer in men with around 36,000 men diagnosed every year, and one man dies from the disease every four minutes. movember does a great job of raising significant awareness around the disease and generating much needed funds for the respective charities.

it couldn’t be easier for you to get involved, and you’ll be helping out heaps with raising awareness of prostate cancer. simply sign up at http://uk.movember.com/register, start clean shaven on the 1st of november, tell everyone you know about the campaign, and let the mo-good-times roll from there!

and don’t worry if you’re mo-challenged, a few of us here at vitaminwater hq also fall a bit short in the facial hair department, but we’re not letting that hold us back! we’ll be trying everything during the month of movember to grow a mo to be proud of, so be sure to check out the blog to follow our progress!

vitaminwater is proud to be supporting such a worthy cause, and we’re definitely going to get stuck into the movember festivities! so watch this space for more movember happenings!

free lipschtick when you buy any 2 glaceau vitaminwaters

it’s been a good few days. the recent (and random) sunny spell, has allowed us to relive the summer dream – full of lazy days, ice creams, and summery clothing. but don’t be fooled by mother nature’s wicked way, because the chill is coming…

ever prepared, vitaminwater have come up with a rather tasty way of protecting your lovely smackers from the blistering cold, with our new range of lip balms that come in three delicious vitaminwater flavours: essential, power c, and revive.

as of yesterday for the next four weeks, the ‘lipschticks’ have landed at selected boots stores, and they’re yours for the taking! simply buy two bottles of vitaminwater and one of these little beauties are yours for free…

make sure you don’t get caught out by the upcoming season, and grab hold of your very own ‘lipschtick’ now!

it’s that time of the week again, and this week’s vit-pack member is adrenaline junkie mr sparky from brighton. after working in a bike shop, he developed a penchant for downhill mountain bike racing, and has done so for the past 2 years. definitely the sparky type!

he is a self confessed die hard kid and likes to live up to his name. he has got so much energy, that he is setting off to travel the world soon – spreading some of those good vibes on a much wider scale. he should watch out though, there is no doubt he’ll be recognised after adorning some of the nations biggest billboards this summer!

it’s vit-pack time again, and this week’s member likes to get straight to the point. say hello to miss essential, who is essentially orange! hailing from norwich, she was snapped up by an up-and-coming designer to model katy perry’s (orange) dress for ‘alternative fashion week‘, and is now the face of glacéau vitaminwater essential. 

miss essential literally lives her life in orange, even passing her time in the orange store. a perky go-getter, she is not personally orange, but is vibrant, a bit fruity and very cool.

it’s now the time for the fifth member of the vit-pack to make an entrance, sports fanatic mr power-c!

he lives, eats and breathes football and basketball! after a stint at university studying sports, mr power-c makes sure he doesn’t waste a moment, and can be found maintaining his form at the gym, modelling at the abercrombie & fitch store on saville row or playing football in south east london with his buddies.

as the face of power-c, he certainly lives up to his name, and seizes every opportunity to maximise his game…

last week, we brought you a rocker, now we’re bring you a mover! yes, up next to grace the limelight, we have miss xxx.

putting the mad in madchester, she is an all singing all dancing, well – dancer. her favourite music includes stone roses and oasis, and when she is not hitting sankey’s up in manchester, she is out in ibiza, considering herself somewhat of a baleric veteran.

if she looks a bit familiar, it may be because she can be found in music videos from mika, ian brown and goldfrapp, playing everything from an abstract leopard to a vampire seductress. her latest starring role is as the face of the naughty but very nice xxx – triple berry. watch out for her all over some of the uks most iconic billboard sites, tube stations and pretty much everywhere else.
