As a girl who got her first cell phone at the age of 13, it’s hard to imagine life without it. Apart from relying on it to manage our social lives, an iPhone has so many more benefits we often disregard. Consider the amount of iPhone cases purchased over the past year to add a decorative flair (as well as protection) to our mobile devices. What if each of these iPhone cases sold could help provide mobile technology to those in need?
Kim and Kristen Waeber created Kidogo Kidogo for this exact reason and to bring awareness to the importance of mobile technology through their Cases that Care program. Kidogo Kidogo recognized that only 36% of women in Tanzania have cell phones, which means only a small portion of these women have the security, safety, and important updates we can receive through mobile technology. With their Cases that Care program, Kidogo Kidogo helps provide these women with mobile phones through the sales of their adorable phone covers. For every two phone cases sold, a woman in Tanzania receives a mobile phone, a SIM card, and mobile credits to operate the phone.
I am loving my new iPhone case from Kidogo Kidogo. The quality and weight of the cover guarantees protection of my iPhone, as well as a festive summer look with the fun flamingo design! It’s amazing how one simple purchase of $30 could provide so much security for a woman in need. Be sure to visit their website to shop all of these adorable cases and to learn more about this amazing program.

Out of the three cars my sisters and I tested for GM, I have to admit the Buick LaCrosse was my favorite. Though I had never considered the LaCrosse to be a luxury sedan, I was more than impressed by all of the features in the car. The interior of the car reminded me a lot of Blair’s old CTS with the spacious backseat and overly cushioned leather seats. The car was fully equipped with all of the best amenities. My favorite feature (which definitely took me by surprise) was the way the seats vibrated while I turned or if I was too close to other cars. Talk about keeping you alert! Another feature I loved was the heated steering wheel, which was a huge plus with the polar vortex that hit Dallas recently.
The LaCrosse was equipped with Bose speakers, XM radio, and an iPhone plugin (as well as charger). The driver information display behind the steering wheel made driving easy with all of my controls from cruise control to my favorite playlists right at my fingertips, plus the speed display on my windshield made staying under the speed limit a cinch. Overall, I was very impressed with the Buick LaCrosse. To learn more about about this car, click here.

When it comes to style, I think you can never have enough black. It’s such a versatile color and is effortlessly chic. I mixed our Karen Millen jacket with this embellished top to add a touch of femininity to the edgy bomber look.
