EMPOWERING STYLE

FOR WORKING WOMEN

By Whitney Alexandra

Sustainable fashion is not only growing in style, but also by demand. What once was a difficult mission – simple, organic tees and comfortable loungewear – is now easy to find. But, what about more structured pieces for the working woman? The one who wants to add a classier look to her wardrobe? I recently spoke to Stephanie Lin, the co-owner of Kestan, a sustainable and ethical clothing brand that builds their collections around the lifestyles of modern women. When asked what she values in an empowering fashion line, Lin says, “A brand that seeks to put people first. There's nothing more empowering than feeling good about the style and ethical practices of your clothes.” Our clothing is the first impression we make at the office, on the street or when meeting someone new for the first time, and these first impressions can make a bigger difference than we realize. Lin, who credits the incredible women throughout her life as her inspiration, says, "How we choose to dress ourselves can be an extension of our voice, so being able to lend our clothing as a form of expression for women is a privilege I take seriously."

If you prefer sustainable clothing, but have trouble finding brands that really make you feel stylish and empowered, here are a few options to consider:

Try a pair of pleated pants that taper around the ankles – don’t be afraid of confident, bold colors. If you already own a few colorful blouses, it may be better to go with a neutral pair of slacks or pencil skirt. For a less restrictive option, take a look at the ever-popular shirt dress, which can be identified by two, oversized breast pockets, waist cinch, collar or faux collar, button up front and rolled sleeves. For casual wear, you can’t go wrong with embellished jeans and an off-the-shoulder top or romantic, Peter Pan collar.

With the rise in sustainable clothing over the last decade, it’s easier than ever to find work-chic clothing and everyday wear you can feel and look great in.

“There is absolutely no reason for a baby to suffer diaper rash from the day it is born” says inventor RJ the owner of Ion Alkaline Water in Mandeville. “Baby Love™ is 100% NATURAL – chemical free, and 100% effective against common diaper rash bacteria or a full refund.” RJ points out that most products on the market today are full of compounded chemicals that in his opinion, should never be applied to an infant. “We trusted Baby Powder for 75 years now the dangers are exposed. STOP and read the ingredient label on diaper butt pastes, and every baby product you are using. Take the time to look up the compounded chemicals along with their warnings. ” Baby Love™ is a simple clean sterile water with a positive water molecule for destroying diaper bacteria. The product is expected to replace nearly all of the chemically compounded products being used today. “Think about it, your skin is the largest organ, it absorbs everything. Why subject a child to so many compounded pharmaceutical chemicals early in life only to find out later it was bad. Besides, our

product does so much more than diaper rash.”

Baby Love™

We now know that Baby powder was a mistake after 75 years because of the risk of respiratory problems and it has been linked to ovarian cancer. That should make everyone wonder with the rapid increase in so many cancers today, how many other cancers could be a result of using baby powder. The American Academy of Pediatrics points out that baby powder can cause breathing trouble and serious lung damage for babies if they inhale the particles. Why have they not taken it off the market$? What’s the next product or ingredient that we will hear about from compounded pharmaceutical baby products that could result in long-term health problems? Why take the r-i-s-k when you do not have to? “I have yet to understand why we buy products with warnings for babies anyhow?” Baby Love™ stops common diaper rash bacteria and a whole bunch of other baby issues. If you suspect hand, foot to mouth, which is an internal bacterial infection be sure to consult your physician. Try Baby Love™ and its many uses and break the cycle of big pharma, the side effects, and warnings.

The Technology Behind Baby Love™ And Sterion Positive ™

As you might imagine our technology is a very big secret that we intend to keep. We can share this with you about our product technology. But, please don’t share this with anyone else. Promise?

First, we strip water of all toxins and chemicals and bring it to a sterile state.

Water molecules are very fickle and easy to manipulate. They can be made to carry a negative or positive charge. When we place a water molecule in a positive state the water kills bacteria and will stop its growth. To kill more bacteria faster, we place a bigger positive condition on the water molecule. The larger the positive charge the more effective the water becomes.

The water is absolutely harmless to everything except bacteria. We are so proud of this natural product for humans and the planet. If we had our way we would spray

the entire planet once a day.

Developed by X Factor Laboratories Scottsdale AZ you can bet it won’t take long for these products to be everywhere. Presently there are classified testing and studies ongoing with horses, a variety of farm animals, room sterilization at hotels, hotel laundry, restaurants, childcare nursery’s, chicken farms, nursing homes, hospitals, emergency centers, wound care treatment, and general product sterilization.

“Something natural always beats something chemical” says inventor RJ.

“We are very close to developing a water by early next year that is environmentally friendly, safe to birds and animals, but carries the power to KILL FIRE ANTS including the entire mound and queen.”

RJ believes in time the company can revolutionize the pest control industry.
