BE TRENDY WORKING OUT!

"WHO SAYS YOU CANT WORK OUT AND BE TRENDY"

-Trina 1stclassladies

If it's edible you can eat it, and if it's wearable it's FASHION!!!  This can definitely be said about today's work out attire.  In the past society viewed working out as a pair of sweats, a tee, and some comfortable sneakers.  These days women are visiting their gyms in style.  Wearing today's version of the "sweatpants" which are skinny legged work out pants, comfortable sports bra's and or shirts made to fit every body top, and a wide variety of sneaker options made just for your specific workout.  We would like to shed some light on what we recommend for a trendy workout!!

Indie Icon Kesh Pairs with American Apparel

Contemporary art and fashion hit a certain sweet spot in the market—think of them as the peanut butter and Nutella of the style world. But usually these collaborations cost almost as much as the art itself. (Witness Jimmy Choo's luxe Rob Pruitt heels and clutches, or Louis Vuitton's still-famous Stephen Sprouse and Takashi Murakami totes.

Now the London-bred artist Kesh is trying to break that mold, pairing with American Apparel on a range of printed basics that retail for $34 to $58. The pieces include leggings, tanks, jackets, a dress, and even a bikini, and merge Kesh's background in fine art and fashion design—she previously created items for Topshop and also for performers in London's famous New Rave Scene. Kesh first gallery show launched last year in Los Angeles; currently her fine art prints sell for almost $6,000 each, and count Kanye West and Cara Delevingne as fans. "My American Apparel collection is for those who admire my work but cannot yet collect that private piece," explained the artist. If you'd like to collect the streetwear instead, you'll have to be quick: The collection launches today at American Apparel on Melrose Avenue in L.A., with a special reception for the artist and designer from 6-9pm. But fans living farther from the Pacific Ocean need not panic: As of today, you can also buy select items online.

TOP MONEY MAKING POSITIONS FOR MEN! WANTED WEDNESDAYS

"It is the working man who is the happy man.  It is the idle man who is the miserable man."

Benjamin Franklin

One of a fathers fears in life is to not be able to provide for his children.  The work place might be a struggle for some and those who are fortunate to have a place to work are looking for ways to move up in the work place or ways to make more means.

 This month salutes the great fathers with Fathers Day right around the corner.  To shed some light on this upcoming holiday, with our Wanted Wednesday topics, we would like to share some research that was done on Black Enterprise that lists the top money making STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) positions that need to be sought after!

THE STATISTICIAN

Median Income : $72,830

Have you ever seen the movie "Along came Polly" with Ben Affleck?? Yeah the one where he plays a Statistician who researches the life span of an adventurous man based on numbers or should I say figures and other statistical methods. 

"Those with a talent with numbers could have a promising career as a statistician. Expected to grow 14 percent by 2020, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts “job prospects will be very good.”

Statisticians are tasked with analyzing and interpreting data sets and about one-third of them work for the government."

ARCHITECTS

Median Income: $72, 550

This career is a no brainier when it comes to money making!  This should be one of the answers that kids blurt out when being asked "What would you like to be when you grow up?"  This career entails the training and license to plan, design, and oversee the construction of buildings.

"The demand for architects, or architectural engineers, is expected to grow 24 percent by 2020, faster than other career paths. And those who stand out as the most creative will have the best opportunities, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS

Median Income: $90, 530

With the way technology is at its best in advancing our every life, work, medicine, electronics, etc.  This is a definite MONEY MAKER!!!!!!  A career in this field of expertise can include researching, designing, implementing, and testing software.  Think Microsoft, Adobe Systems, etc.

"Everything we do on our computers, from Internet operating systems to apps, was the work of a software developer. The demand for computer software is high, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the 30 percent expected job growth reflects this need."
