Rebranding of Tote Bags Ghana as Purple Label Incorporation(Style Purple Label)

We have great news!! Tote Bags Ghana is rebranding! This is due to the fact that as a company, we have been able to diversify in order to suit the exquisite fashion needs of our customers. This led us to the introduction of our clutches and crop tops, and we plan to further branch into the production of other fashion related products. That's why, as a company, rebranding will help us encapsulate our vision and purpose into the name of our brand. Henceforth, Tote Bags Ghana will be called Purple Label Incorporation.
Why Purple Label?
 The color purple has been associated with royalty, power and wealth for centuries. In fact, Queen Elizabeth I forbad anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple's elite status stems from the rarity and cost of the dye originally used to produce it. This made us chose to use this name as we ensure that all of our products make our cherished customers feel and look regal.

Amazing Uses For The Deodorant, Outside The Armpit!

 To prevent body odour and reduce sweat in our armpits, what is the first(and sometimes only) thing we think about- the antiperspirant deodorant! Most of us buy deodorants for the sole purpose of slathering it under our armpits. Amazingly, it can be used for so many other things.
 
   1.On the face
You read that right! Antiperspirant deodorants can be used on your face! Just use your fingers to apply a bit on your cheeks, nose, forehead or any area that tends to get oily.It will help control midday shine. The all-natural varieties contain mineral salts, which can help dry out acne and breakouts.

   2.Your palms
If you struggle with sweaty palms, then the antiperspirant deodorant will be your holy grail! Spray or roll it on your hands before you start to sweat.

   3. Inner thighs
Can you actually believe there is a solution to preventing inner thigh chaffing? Oh yes!! Deodorant sprayed on the legs beforehand can work a miracle! It will also stop your skin from sticking to your pants. The next time you’re rocking a pencil skirt or form-fitting dress, take deodorant and apply to inner thighs to avoid chaffing.

   4. On your feet
Oh how we dread that new-shoe blister! Prevent it by rubbing your deodorant stick onto the back of your heel or foot, wear your shoe, and experience the magic!!

   5. Permanent marker drawing on the wall
Due to the alcohol content found in deodorant sprays, cleaning your wall just got easier! Try spraying on the stain. Wipe the area clean with a paper towel.
 
   6.Say no to squeaky doors! 
Squeaky doors can be so annoying! Luckily enough, the deodorant spray can sort out this issue.
 
   7. Fresh smelling closet
Leave a stick of deodorant open inside the confined space of your closet. You’ll be totally amazed at how fresh it leaves your wardrobe – and your clothes!
 
So next time, do not underate personal care products, they could be much more helpful than you think. Feel free to comment any other helpful tips. See you next week!

Taking care of leather bags

Leather bags are generally worn by both men and women. However, many people do not know how to properly take care of their leather bags and so they eventually develop cracks and end up looking nasty and dull. Below are some things to do in order to prolong the lifespan of your leather bags.   

1.       Clean them on a regular basis. There are some leather bag cleaners available (you can Google them) but if you wouldn’t want to spend money on that, you can use a soft damp cloth.

2.       Condition (using mink or neatsfoot oil, which simulate and supplement the natural oils of leather) your bag every month to prevent it from looking dull and keep it looking its best.

3.       Keep it weatherproof by using a spray protectant. You can get one from Kiwi.

4.       Stash your bag in its original dust bag and fill it with stuffing to maintain its shape.

5.       Keep the dust bagged product in its original box with packets of silica gel so that it doesn’t get damp.

6.       Air once every two weeks to halt the growth of mold. Hang your bag on the wall or in closet.

7.       Avoid using a hairdryer to dry water spills since it will cause the skin to crinkle.

8.       Keep your bags away from sharp or metallic objects and be extra careful when handling and placing it on the ground.

 PS. All products made from leather will eventually age with time. These tips are just to help you prolong the lifespan of your bags, not prevent them from aging forever.

What Every Lady Needs To Carry In Her Handbag

 

Whether you love tote bags, cross body bags, bowler bags, bucket bags, backpacks or clutches, there are certain important things you need to carry as a lady all the time.

          CASH

       Due to the introduction of smarter ways to carry your money around such as debit/credit cards, many women forget that certain situations may arise that will only need cash to sort out, such as tipping waiters, taxis that only accept cash, vending machines, splitting bills when eating out with friends, while on road trips (in case of any emergencies), when your card gets suspended or payment is just not going through, toll booths, and many more. So, NEVER forget to carry some cash on you.   

    HAND SANITIZER

       It helps in maintaining a hygiene level. Protecting yourself from terrible germs is very important while going out.

        WET WIPES

       On hot sweaty days, wet wipes can be very useful to remove excess makeup or sweat.

         A PEN

       Although most people today use smartphones to note down addresses, store phone numbers, and others, it’s equally important to carry a pen around in order to avoid inconveniences when your phone’s battery runs low.

         EMERGENCY CONTACT INFO

      ALWAYS keep a written emergency contact along with your identification since anything can happen.

How To Remove Beach Sand From Natural Hair

Hello guys! Welcome back to my blog! Last week Thursday, I spent the day at Bojo Beach to celebrate my younger brother's birthday . For those that don't live in Ghana, Bojo Beach is located on the Kokrobite Road, at Bortianor, Accra.

Since Bojo Beach is separated from the mainland by the Densu river, we had to cross this natural border via a canoe(we were told they were working on their motor-powered boat).

 

This alone was an exciting and yet scary moment!

We had so much fun in the sea, making us leave with more than we went with; the extra thing being lots of beach sand!
There was so much sand buried in our hair. Getting the sand out was an extremely difficult task. I had already tried shaking it off, lightly hitting it off with a towel, and even unraveling my braids. I still had sand in my hair. I realized this was a problem that most naturals experienced and no one around me had any idea as to what I was supposed to do so I decided that by researching and writing an article on the topic, I can actually help naturals that always encounter this problem.
The first thing I realized is to avoid getting the sand in your hair. My hair was in braids so it actually minimized the sand that came into contact with my hair. It's always advisable to have your hair in braids, twists, or a puff. You can also wear a hat. If you prefer to sunbathe, it's best to carry an extra towel to lie on and not use it to dry up when you want to swim. You can also avoid putting your hair in the water close to shore since that's where the sand is more easily stirred up.

 

While in the sea, let your hair float in deep water and use your fingers to loosen the sand. This will cause the sand to drop away from the hair since it's heavier.

 

If you still have sand in your hair, the first thing to do is to try to shake and brush it off with your hand. Hold your head upside down so that the sand will not land back on your scalp. Shake off as much sand as possible.

Afterwards, rinse your hair thoroughly under the shower or pour several cups of water in different angles to remove the most sand.
You can also wash your hair thoroughly with a clarifying shampoo(I used We Naturals Black Soap with Hemp Oil; it's a Ghanaian brand) in many sections to make sure you remove the sand completely. Several washes may be necessary. Finish up with your conditioner(ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner is what I used) and you're good to go!
