Hosiery Warner Bros Consumer Products (WBCP) has announced it will launch a new apparel and legging collection called Supergirl by Nastia at JCPenney this summer. It is partnering with US Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin for the range aimed at 8-12 year olds. The line will retail from $20 to $38 and include active fleece, dresses and tunics, knit pants, signature Supergirl tees, dancewear, fashion leggings and shrug tops. ‘I am so proud to be partnering with Warner Bros Consumer Products and JCPenney to present to girls and moms the Supergirl by Nastia line, which I believe represents not only a fashionable and affordable option, but also communicates an important message of empowerment,’ said Liukin.’ The Supergirl S-Shield is a unique and iconic symbol that has inspired this collection. I believe it will do the same for girls who wear it.’ Liukin’s total of five medals at Beijing 2008 tied the US gymnastics record for most medals in one Olympic Games.

I am a huge fan of tote bags.  I load them up with my computer, files, work notebooks, doggie leash, make up, bottle of water, Doc Martin of Maui sunscreen, iphone, blackberry and itouch, Mackie Mack note pad, books and magazines to name a few.  I, like many women like to have my stuff around me.  This way I can seemlessly slip from one task to the next.  I am always working and always on.  My favorite tote for quite some time has been a vintage inspired, black leather Fendi.  It is quite fabulous.  But it is summer time now and  I want to rock a lighter version, or lighter material with the same functionality.  Here are a few I spied…….

Check out the longer shape. I wonder what else I can put in it.

Stephanie Simek – Honey and Milk Necklace

This is made of real golden honeycomb beeswax (encased in plastic) and Oxidized silver chain interwoven with milk protein-based fibre, from the very unique hand-made jewel brand Stephanie Simek from the U.S, all made with love!

Stephanie Simek, 27, is an artist and designer based in portland oregon. Her jewellry work makes use of interesting objects that are not typically thought of as precious materials. She has been experimenting with a number of unconventional materials in the context of body adornment for the past two years. The pieces in her line “Wearables” are the discoveries of this exploration. Her collection can be found in publications, boutiques, and museum shops throughout the world.  Stephanie is also involved in a number of other multimedia projects and is making an effort to perform and exhibit regularly.  Originally from New Jersey, USA, where she studied visual art at Mason Gross School of the art.  Available now: www.ka-pok.com 

We’ve been conditioned to think it takes a noxious product like bleach to really get stuff clean. Robin Kay Levine is helping to dispel that myth, one grease spill and one dirty sink at a time. She developed a do-it-yourself kit to show people just how easy it is to mix your own cleaners using common household supplies. The main ingredients are vinegar, which can kill up to 98% of bacteria and germs; baking soda, which acts as a natural abrasive to remove dirt and absorb odors; and olive oil, which polishes surfaces without leaving a sticky residue.

Robin was inspired to develop the Eco-Me cleaning kit after helping her sister during chemotherapy treatments and realizing how important it is to be surrounded by natural, chemical-free products. The kit comes with three reusable containers that are marked with measurement lines on the side, plus enough ingredients to make one batch of each of Robin’s cleaners. There’s an all-purpose spray cleaner (for windows, counters and stainless steel), wood polish (for wood furniture and floors), and a scrub cleanser (for toilets, sinks and tubs). Her special blend of essential oils, including tea tree, lemongrass, lavender and rosemary, is also part of the kit.

Lisa Borden, a marketing executive and mother of three, wrote to tell us about the Eco-Me kit. “It is not often that an exceptional, safe and effective product line is backed by an exceptionally ethical company. Eco-Me offers it all,” Lisa says.

Thank you to the Green Cleaning Coach and author of the book, “The Joy of Green Cleaning,” Leslie Reichert who says, “Germs are invisible to the naked eye, and we’ve come to believe that we need to use strong chemicals to kill germs, but Eco-Me proves that clean can be achieved with natural products that could actually be eaten.” We couldn’t agree more. It’s time to get mixing.
