YOUR SKINCARE SHOULD BE A #PIECEOFKAIKE What is your favorite Kaike product and why? Right now, it‘s the Marshmallow Mask + Scrub. I have oily skin but when it gets cold outside my skin gets pretty dry, so this is its saving grace. It's my favorite because it contains marshmallow root which is the key ingredient that makes marshmallows. Not only is it a fun-loving ingredient but it also improves skin's ability to retain moisture, relieves irritation, and helps to repair the skin barrier -- which is perfect for the winter months. Because I wanted my products to be all-natural and good for you, one of the pillars Kaike adheres to is being preservative-free. I make sure there are no preservatives of any kind in every single Kaike product.

B FRAGRANCED. BE YOU.
Tell us about B Fragranced. What are some of your signature fragrances? B Fragranced is a fragrance and beauty company based out of Chicago. We cater to both men and women, offering the best perfumes and colognes along with our hand & body lotion in the market. Our classic fragrance, Embellish, is our signature scent for women and Essence of ME would be the go to cologne for men! What inspired you to create B Fragranced? I’m number eleven of twelve children born to a devoted mother and father. Unfortunately, at the young age of five, my mother lost her battle to breast cancer. Growing up I had no memories of my mom besides her smell. This birthed a passion and a zeal to create fragrances as unique as the individual who wears it! I always had a love for perfumes and lotions that grew stronger in later years. Our flagship fragrance, Embellish, doesn’t smell like my mother once did, but, the blueprint of the business certainly embodies her.

JILLÂ DONOVAN RUSTICCUFF.COM
RUSTIC CUFF COLLECTION BOLD, STYLISH CUFFS... Tell us more about Rustic Cuff. What are your products and services? Rustic Cuff started off as just one of my hobbies which was to learn how to make bracelets. I was a law professor so one side of my brain was being used and not the other. I decided to learn to make all leather cuffs. I would engrave words or quotes in them. It started out as inspirational thing I would give to friends and family. The leather cuff turned into exotic prints. Then it evolved into the need for a stack of bracelets to go with the cuff so we added beaded bracelets. We now offer a variety of cuffs so if you don’t love one collection there is another collection that will fit your style. Order your Rustic Cuff at https://www.rusticcuff.com/.

SWEET PEAS HANDMADE & HAND SEWN One look at these gorgeous turbans by the Sweet Peas Company and it’s obvious why they are a part of our holiday must haves. They are chic, comfortable and functional for both mom and baby. Who wouldn’t want to dress their baby girl in these plethora of colors and designs. CEOMOM spoke with founder of Sweet Peas, Adriana Hummel, about what makes their turbans so special. Moms love your turbans. Can you share some of your favorite responses from moms? I would say people really like that they are comfortable and that their babies don’t pull them off. They like that they are saving money by buying turbans. We’ve also been told that when you put the turbans on the babies it makes them even cuter than they already are. Our customers say every time we are out and about we get so many compliments on our turban. They also love that we have been doing free and fast shipping. They like that we have neutral colors. We do have our poppy colors like bright red and royal blue but they like that we also have our pearl and white and neutral colors that will go with everything. What new designs and prints can we expect this holiday season? For our holiday designs we are catering to the different holidays. We have all holiday tones like burnt oranges, brown, red and greens, and floral prints with all of these colors in them. We are working on new products to add to our line for next year.

GABRIELLE LEWIS BUNNYANDHARE.COMÂ
BUNNY & HARE GIVING CHILDREN A VOICE THROUGH STYLE Fashion forward, empowering, unique and chic are all words we would use to describe Bunny & Hare high fashion for girls. Co-founder, Gabrielle Lewis, aimed to create a fashion line that would reflect her three-year-old daughter’s personality while empowering young girls to be themselves. Inspired by the world of fiction and fantasy, Bunny & Hare is a luxury brand for girls designed and made in Japan. They bring hope to the next generation by giving children a Voice through Style. How would you describe your signature looks? I wanted something unique and different for Bunny & Hare. I wanted something that would make our girls feel confident and strong yet fashion forward. I took inspiration from Wonder Woman and Valkyrie. These are amazing women superheroes from Greek mythology and Norse mythology. I wanted our designs to have structure for a unique fit, but be comfortable to wear for any occasion. The signature styles we have are two piece sets with a little inspiration from Chanel. I love the luxury stylish classy sets which were my inspiration for Valkyrie. I designed our blazing Crop of Love blazer to not only fit with our overalls and skirt, but it’s a piece that can be worn to complete any look. How does Bunny & Hare inspire young girls? Our motto is “Style is the narrator for fashion. The guide to style starts with you. You are strong! You are courageous! You are innovative! You are beautiful! Regardless of what your make is... You have a Voice!!" Through our high fashion girls clothing designs, we hope to inspire the world around us. We recently did a campaign with girls around the world called, “I HAVE A VOICE.” We want our girls to know they can be and do anything in life and no matter what, their voices matter.

Holiday Collection
KIERRA DOUGLAS S2THEBRAND.COM
S2 THE BRAND BLACK COLLECTION Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it whatever, but we call it a sisterhood. S2 represents women bonded together through sisterhood, not just by blood, but through empowering each other on this journey called life. S2 symbolizes strong, smart, sophisticated, stylish women sprinkled with a bit of sparkle and sass. Created by two sisters with a love for dance, fitness, beauty, and fashion, the Anderson sisters, Kierra and Ariel, are here to give you a double dose of girl power! Tell us about S2. What is it and who do you serve? It is a new venture I started with my sister. We own a dance studio together and recently we did the E! television network series, WAGS. I own a clothing line and we had talked about expanding that to combine dancewear and activewear. In addition, we decided to merge our ideas for activewear with a movement that represents empowerment and collaboration among women. We have done a few events to collaborate with other women. We also have a blog where we spotlight women. We want to give the community a platform to share what they are doing. We collaborated with a fitness instructor in Atlanta. We did a makeover event and focused on the beauty industry. We also did a cooking event with a chef. We want to provide the community with tools for a healthy lifestyle. Tell us about the new clothing line you are launching with your sister. What can people expect from this clothing line? Describe your signature pieces? For the launch the focus is on athletic wear. We wanted to include everyday wear. Everyone is not a dancer, but everyone loves a comfy pair of leggings and sweatpants and a tank top. The first part is more geared towards athletic wear so you will get a lot of leggings. We also have tank tops that have inspirational sayings on them. As we grow we will release more dancewear for people who love to dance. CEOMOM HOLIDAY GUIDE | 27
