Celebrities / Meet Bosede Anike Iyewarun: A Self Taught Jewelry Designer & The Ceo Of Earkandi by Nyaknor(m): 3:41pm On Nov 06, 2014
In a short interview with DELUX MAGAZINE, BOSEDE IYEWARUN. A SELF TAUGHT JEWELRY DESIGNER & THE CEO OF EARKANDIE! openly shared how she got inspired to start her own JEWELRY and ACCESSORIES business after seeing a movie...

READ THE CONVERSATION BELOW.

PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOU:
My name is BOSEDE IYEWARUN. I am A SELF TAUGHT JEWELRY DESIGNER & THE CEO OF EARKANDIE! Earkandie! was FOUNDED on 11/11/2011 due to a growing demand of “Paparazzi & Celebrity Inspired” Jewelry and Accessories in the Midwest. No longer will the fashion savvy have to travel to LA, NY and ATL to get the designer fashions that they crave! EarKandie! is here to cater to anyone who follows the fashion trends and loves sporting the looks at an affordable price. YOU are her target audience! EarKandie! stays conscious of the changing trends nationwide and is therefore committed to YOU! Hot Fashions! Edgy designs! Couture Styles! Creating pieces outside the box for Ladies, Gentlemen & Children! My BRAND Sets the standard by which ALL OTHERS ARE MEASURED.

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO START YOUR BUSINESSES?
The story is quite humorous actually. Back when the ORIGINAL Basketball wives debuted, I immediately fell in love with their jewelry and accessories. I remember I had just gotten my hair cut really low and I knew big earrings looked great with short hair. I was so fascinated by the styles and colors, I searched the internet for Basketball wife earrings and BINGO! All the huge hoops I was crazy about came up in my search with photos of the celebrity wearing the jewelry. I found 5 different pair in the jumbo hoops and ordered them from EBay. I paid $189.00 for 5 pair of earrings. When it was all said and done, every time I wore a pair to work, I had to keep my friends from trying to take them from me. They were all so persistent, I ended up SELLING 4 pair OFF my ears! It was at that point I realized I was not the only one who followed celebrity and paparazzi fashion. Many ladies are also interested in those pieces. I did a little research and discovered the only real places ladies and gentlemen can find celebrity inspired jewelry was either online or in NY, LA or ATL. I decided to make 15 pairs of hoops a few weeks after my ordeal at work, and by close of business the day I took in the Hoop Earrings, I had them all sold and $350. Which was my very first investment into EarKandie!

WHAT WAS THE DEFINING MOMENT OF YOUR COMPANY?
The day I stood on stage at the 1st Annual EarKandie! Fashion Show Extravaganza and realized there was a true Earkandie! following! For a very first show… the room was packed!

WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE TO YOUNG WOMEN TODAY LOOKING TO GO INTO ENTREPRENEURSHIP?
Without a doubt, the biggest advice is to understand that everyone has an agenda. You have to be clever and smart and make smart choices in the partnerships you choose to be a part of and the ones you prefer to pass on. Integrity and great Work Ethic are critical to running a successful and reputable company. Your REPUTATION is all you have!

WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR BEST AND WORST MOMENTS AS A BUSINESS OWNER?
The best have been the countless messages I receive. Folks that approach me with such kind words of how I have touched them in some way or another through my shows, my group forum on Facebook or through working with my younger models and sharing various things that motivate me daily. My worst moments have been realizing that there is still that unhealthy competition out there. I realize I alone can’t save this fashion industry in our city but it would be so nice if we could all find a way to all come together to make it work. We would get so much more accomplished!

Health / The Testosterone Dilemma by Nyaknor(m): 3:30pm On Sep 30, 2014
Find out why low testosterone symptoms such as fatigue and low libido can occur in younger men.
Researchers have long known that testosterone, the hormone that confers masculinity, declines naturally with age – about 1 percent per year after you hit your mid-30s, – taking your muscle mass and libido with it. But emerging evidence suggests that men have less testosterone today than their fathers did, most likely owing to increasing rates of obesity and possible exposure to environmental toxins.
There’s a good reason guys go girl-crazy in their teens and twenties: Their testosterone levels are at their peak. From there, though, testosterone levels slowly decrease.
“After age 30, most men begin to experience a gradual decline in testosterone,” says David Samadi, MD, chairman of the urology department at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
Although testosterone levels never reach zero (as estrogen levels do in women during menopause), the levels can drop too low, causing men to experience symptoms such as fatigue, low sex drive, and loss of muscle mass.

While low testosterone is more common in older men, it can occur in younger men as well. Fortunately, all of the causes of low testosterone in young men are treatable, so if you experience such symptoms at any age, there’s no reason to ignore it.

Causes of Low Testosterone in Younger Men

For younger men, a drop in testosterone levels can be caused by some illnesses, including type 2 diabetes, chronic liver or kidney disease, COPD or other lung disease, or pituitary gland problems, according to Dr. Samadi.

Genetic causes of low testosterone in men include the diseases Klinefelter syndrome, Kallmann syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and Myotonic dystrophy. Another disorder that can cause low testosterone is hemochromatosis, which makes the body store too much iron.

“Low testosterone can also result when something happens, like trauma or steroid use, that prevents the testes from making the hormone,” says Bruce Gilbert, MD, PhD, an adjunct clinical professor of urology and reproductive medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College and director of reproductive and sexual medicine at the Smith Institute for Urology of the North Shore-LIJ Health System.
Other causes of low testosterone in men younger than 50 include pituitary gland tumors, HIV infection, and radiation treatment or chemotherapy for cancer.

Doctors categorize causes of low testosterone as primary or secondary. “Primary hypogonadism stems from a problem in the testicles," Samadi says. "This could be from a developmental issue, injury to the testicles, or radiation or chemotherapy treatment. In secondary hypogonadism, the testicles are normal but function improperly because of a problem with the hypothalamus or pituitary gland.”

Is It Low Testosterone?

Regardless of the cause, low testosterone symptoms are the same. “Symptoms include low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, decreased mental acuity, and moodiness,” Dr. Gilbert says. “Younger men with low testosterone usually come to me and say, ‘I can’t work out like I used to, and I’ve lost interest in sex.’ ”
If you suspect low testosterone, the first step is to see your primary care physician. Your doctor can diagnose low testosterone with a blood test. If your blood test reveals low testosterone (usually defined as a level lower than 300 ng/dL), the doctor may treat you or refer you to a specialist, such as an urologist or endocrinologist.

Treatments for Low Testosterone in Younger Men

Not everyone with low testosterone needs treatment. "When it comes to treating low testosterone in younger men, we usually reserve treatment for those who have symptoms, such as fatigue and low libido," Gilbert says.
In men who don’t make the hormone in their testes because of a condition such as Klinefelter syndrome, or those who have lost their testes because of cancer, the only option is testosterone replacement therapy. Such testosterone supplements come in the form of a gel, injections, patches, long-acting pellets, or oral inserts.

In these circumstances, “treatments are usually used only in the short term, and when a doctor has close observation and knowledge of the patient,” Gilbert says.
An important consideration for younger men before getting treatment is fertility. “You don’t want to give supplemental testosterone to men who want to be fertile because it can turn off sperm production,” Gilbert says.

Once a young man goes off testosterone supplementation, there’s a chance his sperm count will never return to what it was before he started. “Therefore, men of reproductive age should consider alternatives that might increase their testosterone as well as preserve their sperm production,” he says. One such alternative is a class of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs).
Other treatments for low testosterone include weight loss and other lifestyle changes, such as eating healthier and increasing exercise.

The bottom line, though, is that if you have low testosterone symptoms, it’s important to see your doctor. Then, your doctor can rule out potentially more serious causes of your symptoms, such as high blood pressure or a thyroid problem, and offer treatment that can improve your energy and quality of life.

Don't let us joke with our health... HEALTH IS WEALTH they say.

Planning ahead? Here are some of the new films that are getting released for the month of September. cheesy cheesy
Frontera
Plot Summary: Set in the tumultuous Border area of Arizona and Mexico, "Frontera" follows the events that take place after a former Arizona Sheriff's wife (Amy Madigan) is killed while riding on their Ranch property. It would appear a Mexican man (Michael Pena) crossing in to the US illegally is at fault. As former Sheriff (Ed Harris) and current Sheriff (Aden Young) search for answers, lives are changed forever and the facts as to who is really at fault in this tragedy are nearly as tenuous and complex as the issues and tensions between the people who live in this region on either side of the line

Release Date: September 5, 2014 (limited)

God Help the Girl
Plot Summary: Eve is a catastrophe - low on self-esteem but high on fantasy, especially when it comes to music. Over the course of one Glasgow summer, she meets two similarly rootless souls: posh Cass and fastidious James, and together they form a pop group.

Release Date: September 5, 2014 (NY)
