Balance ~ Wearable Art Expansion
Donation protected
Greetings!
My name is Yejide Akinlana, Founder of We Manifest and Creator of Balance ~ Wearable Art. I'm requesting financial assistance for Balance because all that Balance has accomplished in these last 6 years has taken it's toll on the equipment I use.
Balance ~ Wearable Art is a labor of love! Creating with my hands is not only relaxing but therapeutic. To beautify the public is just an added joy! I chose to develop and uplift the spiritual (internal) beauty with these physical (external) adornments. I purposely use different shapes, colors, textures, materials and my imagination to design these earrings, necklaces, waistbeads and accessories for all to wear and use, proudly! BALANCE is Bold, Aesthetic, Love-based, Ancestral, Non-conforming, Colorful & Eclectic! Not to mention, original, healthy and organic!
BALANCE face & body scrubs, hair pomades & conditioners and face & body buttahz are made with raw cocoa, aloe, mango & shea butters, fresh aloe vera, cold pressed virgin coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, fresh fruit and several other good for your skin, hair and body elements that I grow at home. We'd like to have all donations in by June 18th, 2015, to start the upcoming Autumn and Winter collections.

* a hand blender - $75
