Last Sunday, March 8th, was International Women's Day. Everywhere you looked, there were different activities to celebrate this special day, even in the days leading up to it. I had to go to Farmatodo, across from the Metropolis Shopping Center, and I took the opportunity to explore the mall. On Saturday, I had to go to Farmatodo, across from that shopping center, and I took the opportunity to walk through the aisles and look around. During my stroll, I came across various activities that were taking place that day as part of the Women's Day celebration. ---- > El domingo pasado, 8 de marzo, se celebró el Día Internacional de la Mujer.

The first activity took place in the Food Court area. There was a small, beautifully decorated stage, and the Beia brand was hosting the event. Colorful furniture was set up in front of the stage for special guests. However, everyone could see the activity, as all the food stalls and tables were located there. This activity consisted of trying the brand's product line, both skincare and makeup. The event was hosted by the renowned journalist Paola Marín, and several guest makeup artists gave live demonstrations of the products. I couldn't stay until the end, but I believe there were some prizes for the audience, and some well-known models from the city also participated. ---- > La primera actividad se llevó a cabo en el área de Food Court.

No pude quedarme hasta el final, pero creo que había algunos premios para el público y también participaron algunas modelos reconocidas de la ciudad. ----- ![IMG_20260307_155322.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jcrodriguez/EogNn7WcKHmCTtrbv4k3XAVpLKLoPfsRmVLtFwJjKwyfHbe4AFKeTjLjCjAEYy21fGd.jpg) ![IMG_20260307_155655.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jcrodriguez/EogNJopaGUDDKhShASkgbNHK2eBp5yEapJTRpCLvGZh7R1BHbYpoeNAA4kAeJePmPzQ.jpg) ![IMG_20260307_155747.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jcrodriguez/EogPhhiSQfDTer1K8gF3nY47JgCY3yXKaDuLjUCmh31J4CURip7LftSZWnZbzTh7NL2.jpg) ![IMG_20260307_161924.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jcrodriguez/Eou7ELsJBjwNM47xNhSyJMSMc7HhvmW1QbfTX7tTv5TWa7Kp69Z1umuMGdWWi34LhCW.jpg) |||| |-|-|-| ![IMG_20260307_160229.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jcrodriguez/23ynS7sqh6JpG3vY3LPnYj5ssoTPHEDos6QvyK7hFdDjs5ZLZxuyHuqsLbWVU6LHxMAcu.jpg)|![IMG_20260307_162419.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jcrodriguez/23zGgHzzWb3FwGK7MP3FQHhzQG1xd5wnbyatGyf4mZmUZ4JKiQEBmRAqUqChu8vNoZD8p.jpg) || ![IMG_20260307_162345.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jcrodriguez/EopuS9Vo13nHiDfmF8fWRJiDkSURovaaX42yBEVNuUZaT6LAtqFXPvU8j4r5D3vojaG.jpg) ---- The other activity taking place was organized by a dance and beauty pageant organization. I don't remember the name. There were girls who were queens from different beauty pageants they organized, and there were performances from more than ten dance academies. They all presented different rhythms, from urban music to traditional Venezuelan music. There was also a fitness class, where a trainer got some of the audience moving to the rhythm of the music. It combined health, fitness, and female empowerment, although anyone could participate in the exercise, not just women. An Arabic dance academy also offered a small show where their dancers impressed everyone with their performance. Some women from the audience even went up on stage to compete in an Arabic dance competition. The one who did best won a prize from the sponsors. I had other things to do, so I couldn't stay to see all the other dance academies performing. Throughout March, different activities are planned to celebrate Women's Month. I hope to come across another one soon. ---- > La otra actividad que se estaba llevando a cabo era organizada por una organización de baile y concursos de belleza. No recuerdo el nombre. Había chicas que eran reinas de diferentes concursos de belleza organizados por ellos, y hubo presentaciones de más de diez academias de baile. Todas presentaban ritmos diferentes, desde música urbana hasta música tradicional venezolana. > También había una clase de fitness, donde un entrenador hizo que parte del público se moviera al ritmo de la música. Combinaba salud, fitness y empoderamiento femenino, aunque cualquiera podía participar en el ejercicio, no solo mujeres. > Una academia de danza árabe también ofreció un pequeño espectáculo donde sus bailarinas impresionaron a todos con su actuación. Algunas mujeres del público incluso subieron al escenario para competir bailando danza árabe. La que mejor lo hizo ganó un regalo de los patrocinadores. > Tuve que hacer otras cosas, así que no pude quedarme a ver todas las demás academias de baile que se presentaban. A lo largo de este mes de marzo, se planean diferentes actividades para celebrar el Mes de la Mujer. Espero encontrarme con otra actividad pronto [//]:# (!worldmappin 10.05788 lat -69.37175 long To the rhythm of Carnival Barquisimeto d3scr) --- ---- **Photographs taken with mobile phone Tecno Neo 2 - Cover made with the Canva application - Gifs and separators made by me in photoshop** ![bannerjc (2).jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jcrodriguez/23ydNhQkF3nzktNsBY1ibWXpop8Yk6PHgAdZvB1yNp7LqWrGnWNVEwnUxrQUGdfnXD1yh.jpg) https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jcrodriguez/245cUBXzvWF8QVukk8UvqTFX6FutvCzv1TyGDA8ybnR5QKA1v6nMvGS4j6y81Qg9M2HLn.jpg [//]:# (!worldmappin 10.062634 lat -69.365460 long d3scr)
