With the world of interior design ruled by the same fashionable names for the past few years, it’s really refreshing to see some new names making some headway and getting their designs into people’s homes. In some cases though they’re not new names at all, and you might already have a few of their items in your house already–in the closet. One such designer is Calvin Klein, who, though particularly famous for stylish underwear and perfumes, is hoping to get a brand new range of fashionable rugs onto as many fashion conscious floors as possible.
Fashion houses such as Calvin Klein are often so large that it’s a wonder that we’ve not seen this kind of crossover sooner, but the experience in clothing certainly means that they know what they’re doing whatever they set their minds to, and the new range of modern rugs really are a wonder.
The new line is absolutely ideal for summer too, with bright, block colours and the large variety of styles and materials available sure to brighten up any home; even those with limited space. From the more subtle Bowery collection, featuring earthy colours like beige, brown, lighter stone, paprika and pebble; to the Lunar collection’s pastels; all the new rugs are hand loomed and made from pure wool, meaning that everything is of the absolute quality that you’d expect from a name as respected as Calvin Klein.
The Sahara range may prove to be the most popular over the summer, featuring a linear design accented by faux silk, which is sure to add a little luxury under your foot. Available in sizes from a practical 3 feet 6 inches x 5 feet 6 inches to an absolutely vast 7 feet 9 inches x 10 feet 10 inches, ideal for a house with more space, many are expecting the new Calvin Klein rugs to really take off, meaning we could start to see many more fashion designers featured in people’s homes up and down the country by the end of the summer. The great thing is that the rugs that keep your home colorful in the summer will be perfect for brightening up the place when the winter comes.
A holiday in Africa can create memories that last forever making it the perfect destination for family fun. There are a multitude of experiences to be had in this enigmatic continent, some of them wilder than others, but for the perfect family trip, here are some of the more advisable notions:
Safari is the first thought for many African holiday goers and for good reason. Viewing of ‘the big 5’, is on many people’s lists of things to do in their life and rambling through the diverse stunning terrain of the African countryside will offer sights akin to no other on earth. Kenya, Botswana and Tanzania are some of the more famous destinations for safari and all of which have conservation areas in which you can spot your favourite African wildlife. The better funded national parks have a high standard of service and safety so you know you and your family are in good hands when you visit.
Egypt, with its ancient pyramids, infamous rivers and spectacular culture is a definite one for the family African wish list. From what I’ve heard though, you really have to do your homework with Egypt, especially when it comes to accommodation as many parts of the country are very poor and run down. Perhaps if you are taking young children to Egypt you should think about searching for luxury African holidays with Mahlatini.com. I would love to visit Egypt one day!
If you are looking for a more relaxing break with the family and are simply dreaming of white sandy beaches, clear waters and glorious weather, a visit to South Africa’s Cape might be the best option for you. You can indulge in the amazing tropical food; try your hand at the local water sports or just relax in the South African sun.
I’m speaking here more personally than professionally when I say that Africa is a great place to visit on a mission trip. I sit with a lady who now has Alzheimer but was once a missionary in Central African Republic for many years. She had great stories to tell! A good friend of mine, who was also a guest writer here {you can read her article about Peace here}, recently visited Africa and she said it was a life changing experience. The picture above is hers. She now blogs at blind-faith-ministries.com and I’m sure she’ll have a lot to say about their trip to Africa in the near future. Would you like to visit Africa one day?

Target is the destination for everything families need to make the most of summer and to prove it Target sent a few bloggers a “Big Honkin’ Summer” kit to review. Target has items to keep your family occupied whether you are traveling to the beach, mountains, or having a staycation. Target has all the essentials for you to make the most of your summer. If you’ve been in a Target store recently, you may have noticed the giant beach balls, sunglasses, and sand buckets that lead you directly to their brightly colored summer merchandise.
Here are the items that I received to review and check out Target’s kid catalog where you can find all of these products and more for summer:
Target has a fun Facebook app called “Summer-zier” that allows you to add large “Big Honkin’ Summer” icons to your favorite photos. You have the option to share them online with your friends and you could even to order prints at your local Target Photo Center.
