Portable Light

More than 2 billion people live without electricity, most in extreme poverty. The Portable Light Project creates new ways to provide renewable power in solar textiles that can be adapted to meet the needs of people in different cultures and global regions. Portable Light textiles with flexible solar materials and solid state lighting enable the world’s poorest people to create and own energy harvesting bags, blankets, and clothing using local materials and traditional weaving and sewing techniques in an open source model.
Portable Light enables people in the developing world to benefit from flexible solar nano-technology and accelerates the movement to clean energy worldwide.

A drink without calories!

A drink with no calories is a perfect drink for the summer! Check this BEAUTY DRINK!


A very good idea coming from Brazil! :) I found this in the link mdemulher.abril.com.br but i put here the article in portuguese:



Quem adora novidades – especialmente aquelas que tornam nossa vida mais saborosa e além de tudo não têm caloria – vai adorar saber que na noite de terça-feira passada (04), a empresária Cristiana Arcangeli lançou a Beauty Drink. Com oito sabores, a bebida tem a proposta de aflorar sua beleza, graças à ação de seus componentes.
O produto vem em formato exclusivo. É o primeiro do mercado brasileiro a usar o twist cap, uma garrafa com a água e todos os ativos em forma de pó concentrados na tampa. Ao girar a tampa, o pó cai na água, se dissolve e se transforma na bebida. Esse processo garante uma fórmula 100% livre de conservantes, além de ter zero açúcar, zero gordura, baixíssimo teor de sódio e muitas vitaminas, minerais, proteínas, aromas naturais e frutas orgânicas.
Segundo o fabricante, os benefícios dos ingredientes usados na composição do Beauty drink são comprovados pelos centros de pesquisa e por laboratórios de pesquisas em eficácia clinica da Europa e Ásia, que seguem regras rígidas estabelecidas pelos padrões internacionais de avaliação.
Quem se interessou poderá adquirir a bebida que estará à venda no site http://www.beautyin.net.br/, ou no quiosque da marca, instalado no shopping Iguatemi. Um brinde à novidade!

The New LA Bag



Well, here it is!
My new acquisition: a LANIDOR bag for this summer!


It's gorgeous, really luv it, and had to wait for it lots of time: ordered and then i had to wait to come to the shop but let me tell you, the bag is just like i like - BIG, FULL OF COLOUR AND WITH A BEAUTIFUL PATTERN :)


That's it, really cool to travel, to spend a day out of home 'cause it brings inside lots of stuff and of course agenda, computer, photo machine, books - yes, i do carry those stuff all the time!


I like spending free time during the day by reading, or taking pictures or searching in internet for interesting issues.


LANIDOR has beautiful clothes and acessories to this summer so take a look and make your summer much more fun and colourful!


See you right back!


Love!

Hope For Columbia

Continuo a acreditar que podemos fazer deste Mundo um lugar de Paz e melhor para todos os Seres Vivos...
Um excelente documentário, a não perder. 
É um assunto que diz respeito a todos os Seres Humanos - todas as violações dos direitos humanos, em qualquer parte do Mundo, diz respeito e afecta qualquer pessoa em qualquer parte do Mundo.


"Filme de Raphael Buenaventura sobre a peregrinação GRACE em Bogotá em Novembro de 2010 com a duração de 53 minutos está terminado e a estreia teve lugar em Tamera. A obra é um retrato de impressionantes activistas para a paz, um filme que nos toca e desperta a esperança mesmo numa situação tão difícil como a de criar um futuro diferente na Colômbia."


Hope For Columbia

The Elegant Look of Charlene



I couldn't miss posting my opinion about the wedding dress of the new Princess of Monaco, Charlene Wittstock - and, well, it was just beautiful!


A good taste and a great designer, Giorgio Armani, made Charlene a very elegant bride - the dress, the hair, the make up, the head jewelry - it was all perfect.


Charlene has a very good and elegant style, perfect to a Princess, so I think the Monaco will have a good icon of fashion, just like had the Princess Grace Kelly, mother of the Prince Albert.


The Grimaldi family already has style and good looks - Charlotte Casiraghi, Princess Caroline's daughter, is a style I really like, and of course her beauty is just like her mother and grandmother, the beautiful Princess Grace Kelly.


Another point I would like to express it's the origin of the new Princess: the place blessed by the Mother Nature, Africa.


It was really good to see both flags ate the wedding: Monaco and South Africa.


Mankind can really be unite - not only by love but also by elegance.


Well done. Everything was so beautiful, simple and beautiful.


So, here are some pics of the Princess Charlene, and let's keep the eye on her wardrobe to everyday and to the oficial public presentations! 


Love, 


Paula Franco
