Tips to Get in Shape for Music Festivals!
Music festivals can be great fun, but you need to get in shape to handle all the hours you're moving around.
Remember, some of these festivals are a whole weekend. Build the stamina to handle all of that high-level energy that takes place in all those hours of fun!
Here are some tips to help you get in shape for music festivals.
Try Your Festival Outfit
Maybe you have an outfit you bought from Rave Wonderland, and it doesn't fit you quite right. However, you purposely bought it three months before the big music festival. You can try it on each week to measure your progress.
Use it as a tangible item you can only wear after losing a certain amount of pounds. This way, the festival isn't just a music thing, but it's a part of a life goal. You may have put off getting in shape for a while, but now you have a reason and a reward for it.
It'll help motivate you to go after your goal and eventually get to a point where it becomes a lifestyle change.
Stretching Daily
Staying limber is something you shouldn't neglect. When you're at raves or music festivals, you're doing so much dancing to the point of easily tweaking something. You want to stretch and let the blood flow pump to different joints.
Also, you want to recover after having your intense workouts or dance sessions to prepare for a music festival. Stretching helps you speed up the process and keeps you more flexible. When your body recovers faster, your muscles will show more prominently.
You'll start to create a lean and functional physique that'll help you increase your physical activity.
Drink More Water
Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do. It makes you look and feel great. You'll start having a more youthful appearance. Also, you'll begin to cut out sugary drinks, which only add empty calories.
When you start drinking more water, it becomes a natural habit in your life that you would do at a festival. This way, you won't get dehydrated, and you'll boost your energy levels throughout the whole event.
Not to mention, more water will help you feel more satisfied eating smaller meals. You'll feel burn more calories throughout the day to prepare you for a rave festival.
Preparing your body months in advance will help you gain stamina for a weekend full of musical fun.

Tips For Shopping For Handmade African Products
While nowadays you can find a variety of handmade African products in the market, not all are really made by hand or ethically compliant, which can leave the purchaser uninspired to purchase anything at all.
You may ask yourself: How do I know if this product is truly handmade? Can I trust this brand? Are they who they say they are? Do not fret because we will share a few tips to make shopping for handmade African products a lot easier.
Slow Purchase
Whenever shopping for handmade African products, we encourage you to take it slow; first and foremost, get to know the kind of items you seek to purchase, the communities/tribes in Africa that make these specific items, and the material these items are made out of. Whether shopping online or in-person, by doing this, you will gain the confidence to find the exact items you seek and know what questions to ask when need be.
Know who you are purchasing from
If ever unsure of where to start, make sure to read the philosophy page (also known as "about" or "story" page) of every brand site you seek to purchase from. Here is where you will find the brand's essence & foundation; its intentions, virtues, visions, & commitments and lots more..
Reputation
You can tell a lot about a brand’s reputation through reviews and testimonials from previous customers and collaborators.
Most of the time, you can find these on the brand's website and social media - often providing insight into the quality of the products, communication between customer and seller, and extra helpful information.
Know your artisans
Usually, if the brand is honest, integral, and honorable, they will likely introduce their craftsmen(women included) & artisans in their social media handles. Scroll your way through and get to know them!
Handmade or Machine-made
You can tell if a product is handmade by verifying the artisans of each product by checking in the description box or inquiring directly via email/private message. Remember, machine-made product brands are usually marketed by and advertised in mainstream media(television, ads, radio, celebrities) - so perhaps turn away from these altogether.
Let love be your Guide
Brands that market themselves as "handmade" are most attractive to customers simply because it symbolizes their products are made out of love and care.
This inspires shoppers to be more intentional with their purchases when buying for themselves or loved ones. When shopping for handmade African products, follow the tips mentioned above, and let love guide your ethical shopping spree!

Legacy,History&Pride - College Rings And Fashion Apparel..
Fashion and style often gets influences from every area and facet of life.
Our culture,heritage,the environment and even history transcends our fashion choices.
With history also comes the pride and valour with with we rock what we wear and show off.
In American colleges,this history is even more embedded with university sports apparel,sorority apparel,college rings and many more accessories finding its way into mainstream fashion.
Fashion brands like Legacy History Pride - HBCU apparel believe that historically Black Colleges and Universities have played and continue to play a critical role in making and breaking American history.
They are continuing to create a legacy for African Americans and students of all backgrounds and races to have and receive the quality education every American deserves.
"HBCU apparel is our homage, our thanks, and our celebration to our schools as well as our ancestors" We give tribute to the immense cultural diversity, and massive impact HBCUs Alumni have on this country through the innovative melding of the legacy, the history, and the pride capture in their HBCU clothing line.
Our legacy began in New York in the late 1960s from a fresh immigrant with deep roots from Manzanilla in Trinidad and Tobago and the American dream. What started as an ordinary shoe store became a revolutionary sneaker store that accomplished the first Black Owned Nike account and blazed a trail for representation in footwear and fashion. That became the blueprint for the HBCU apparel's legacy.
Black history should be a subject of rejoicing and pride. HBCU apparel encapsulates the richness of old-school streetwear, Alumni dignity, and the continuing evolution of history. HBCU clothing is constantly evolving, as apparel has always been part of our culture. The apparel we make throws it back to our ancestors' legacy and the upcoming history we are all about to create for ourselves and our future generations.
HBCU clothing isn't just a statement. It's a testament, a vibrant ideal, and an expression of respect as well as hope. So, find a crew, a hoodie, a jacket, shirts and dresses, sweatpants, and more to represent the three pillars of the culture while giving back to the colleges that shaped you.
The cultural ideas of generations continue to shape the visionary, creative, ground-breaking HBCU apparel that we are pleased to offer to our customers.
All these doesn't rest on apparel alone as there are also jewellery and accessories like the College rings from joy jewelers that you can rock with showing off your legacy history and pride!
