Other Events
During the month of October, Nordstrom will highlight products, services and events that promote overall well-being in body, mind and spirit.
Throughout the month of October, Nordstrom and Wacoal will continue to host Fit for the Cure(R) events at select stores. Nordstrom encourages all women to be professionally fitted once a year and with each bra fitting during the event, Nordstrom and Wacoal will each donate $1 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
On October 9, Nordstrom will buy customers a drink -- of pink-labeled, mountain spring bottled water -- as a quick refresher on the health and beauty benefits of staying well-hydrated. Bottles will be distributed at the main entrance of all Nordstrom stores while supplies last.
On October 23, the Cosmetics department of Nordstrom stores nationwide will provide a visible reminder that taking time out to take care of themselves and enjoy the lighter side of life is a bright idea -- by distributing complimentary pink light bulbs designed to shed a soft and flattering glow. Why Pink? Researchers believe pink helps relax muscles, relieve tension and ease stress on the immune system. Pink light has been used in healing skin injuries and in stress management therapy. Less scientifically, the color pink has long been associated with positive, pleasant attributes: romance, friendship, affection, peace, femininity, softness, creativity, youth, health, beauty, optimism and tranquility.
For more specific information on products and events including Fit for the Cure(R), customers can contact the Cosmetics, or Lingerie department of the nearest Nordstrom or visit www.nordstrom.com during the month of October.
