kenyan-artisans-for-karen-walkers-spring-2014-ad-campaign7

If you are a lover of sunglasses then you will be blown away by the designs of Karen Walker for her spring 2014 collection. What artistry does Karen display for spring 2014? Large frames, bold colors and even leopard animal print permeate the design flavor of Walker’s collection for this season.

Nevertheless, what is even more exciting about this line of accessories is the pairing between Walker with artisans from the country of Kenya. Thanks to the United Nations’ ITC Ethical Fashion Initiative, Karen was connected with a group of Kenyan artisans that added their very own flair of fashion to the collection. Together these talented and stylish women were able to design and produce an unique line of embellished pouches that will be included with each pair of frames purchased.

This clearly demonstrates that amazing fashion can be found in any place of the world. It is a joy to see the compilation of hard work and construction of fabulous accessories by this group of women. Enjoy the photos of Karen Walker’s spring 2014 collection which are modeled by the artisans themselves.

Beware of Greasy Hair Products

Black Women Hairstyles

In the hair world it is important to remember that all products are not created equal. Moreover, you may purchase products that may add sheen or make your tresses look healthy; however, the benefits might just end right there. Greasy hair products can add moisture, but they clog the pores on your scalp and can weigh locks down. Instead, it is best to use conditioners with essential oils, such as grape seed oil, that moisturize without leaving an oily residue.

Did you know that one of the main causes of headaches is dehydration? Drinking plenty of water may be the solution to healing or even preventing a headache. Some other natural remedies include: walking, avoiding caffeine and consuming honey at mealtime. Partaking of honey at each of your meals is beneficial since honey contains minerals (potassium/magnesium) which will help relax arteries as well as allow more blood to flow to the brain.
