Daily Obsesh - Akawelle Necklace

Give someone the gift of LIFE this Valentine's Day and any day with the Akawelle necklace made from spent bullet casings. Sounds a bit strange to you? Trust us! This couldn€™t be a better symbol of love!
The story starts in the refugee camps of Ghana where thousands of Liberians fled to during the civil war. Lovetta Conto was one of those refugees. Here she was approached by the Strongheart Fellowship Program and from that moment her dream of being a designer started looking more like a reality.
Lovetta created the Akawelle necklace, meaning 'also known as LOVE'. It features two pendants, a leaf inscribed with the word LIFE, made from the bullet casings that litter the streets of Liberia, and a single bead which is the bottom of the bullet shell. This necklace represents the idea that there is the promise of life even through strife and hardship. Proceeds help to aid the Strongheart House where children from warring countries come for a chance at a better life.
What could possibly be more romantic than giving someone a chance at a better life?
Where to Buy - Strongheart Fellowship
Price - $100.00
Who - Melimeli was the first to add the 'Akawelle Necklace' to the Hive.

Just a little bit ago, big name stars from the movie, "Eat, Pray, Love", showed up to the New York movie premier and every single one looked their red-carpet best! Slinky gowns, sophisticated minis and sparkling jewels were abundant, but the most noticeable thing about this movie premiers red-carpet fashion? Everyone looked perfectly coiffed with shining hair and natural waves. While chignons are always pretty and appropriate, wearing your hair down for a formal event gives your look a vibe of youthfulness and sensuality and waves add a natural, sex-kitten appeal. Who do you think let their hair down the best at the New York movie premier of "Eat, Pray, Love"? Was it star of the show, Julia Roberts, who turned up in sleek shining tresses, or acting veteran Phylicia Rashad and her shoulder length swirls? Perhaps you prefer newcomer, Arlene Tur, and her beautiful blowout full of sex appeal! Let us know what you think by taking the poll below!
