About BACARDÍ® Rum- The World’s Most Awarded Rum

In 1862, in the city of Santiago de Cuba, founder Don Facundo Bacardí Massó revolutionized the spirits industry when he created a light-bodied rum with a particularly smooth taste – BACARDÍ. The unique taste of BACARDÍ rum inspired cocktail pioneers to invent some of the world’s most famous recipes including the BACARDÍ Mojito, the BACARDÍ Daiquiri, the BACARDÍ Cuba Libre, the BACARDÍ Piña Colada and the BACARDÍ El Presidente. BACARDÍ rum is the world’s most awarded rum, with more than 1,000 awards for quality, taste and innovation. Today, BACARDÍ rum is made mainly in Puerto Rico where it is crafted to ensure the taste remains the same today as it did when it was first blended in 1862. www.BACARDÍ.com

The BACARDÍ brand is part of the portfolio of Bacardi Limited, headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. Bacardi Limited refers to the Bacardi group of companies, including Bacardi International Limited.

Four Things to Keep in Mind While Buying a Bespoke Leather Jacket

Leather jackets can make ordinary attire look cool. Sporting a leather jacket can enhance your looks manifold. Therefore, one must be very particular about buying them. 

Though off-the-rack readymade jackets come in a variety of sizes for you to try, they may not fit you the best. In contrast, a bespoke leather jacket can be tailored to bring out the best in you. 

If you buy a custom-made jacket, you can avail a plethora of benefits like the customized leather fit, personality enhancement, personalized style, etc.

But the question is what factors should be considered to buy a custom-made jacket?

Well, don’t worry because we have put together a list for you. Let’s take a look:

1.     Quality

You don’t plan to buy a leather jacket every second month, or do you? That is why it is best to get quality assurance from the company customizing your leather jacket. 

It is best to know which material is being used for production. Also, ensure that they use good-quality studs, zippers, and buttons. The last thing you want is a zipper of sub-par quality that makes an obnoxious noise and gives a coarse feeling.

2.     Purpose

Leather jackets come in different colors and styles. Therefore, you must decide the purpose behind buying it. However, you cannot get such liberty while buying an off-the-rack piece as it is made keeping a standard design in mind.    

Once you know where you will be using your custom-made jacket, it will be much easier to convey the design you wish for your jacket. 

Bomber style jackets are optimum for formal occasions and workplaces, whereas funky avant-garde style jackets are perfect for casual get-togethers where these jackets can make you stand out. 

3.     The right fit

Fitting is a paramount factor that decides what your personality will look like. The best way to convey the measurements is by sending one of your pre-existing jackets to the company so that they can get the right idea about your body structure. First, however, make sure the jacket you are sending fits you perfectly. 

Along with the fit, you must aim for comfort too. Anything too loose will make the jacket look baggy. In contrast, a jacket too tight will be extremely uncomfortable. 

Therefore, it would be best to choose a size that perfectly sits on your body and enhances its appearance. 

4.     Color

The color of your leather makes a spark difference in the way people perceive you. For example, if you are wearing a bold red jacket, you may come across as someone funky in the eyes of the people. In contrast, if you are sporting a standard black leather jacket, you will come across as someone classy and stylish. 

A serious drawback with bold jackets is that you cannot sport them everywhere and every time since it is eye-catching. But, on the other hand, you don’t want people to think you wear the same jacket every day. 

So, choose your color wisely. And, if you are having trouble choosing one, then simply opt for a black or a brown color jacket as they never go out of style.

Final Thoughts 

The definition of a perfect custom-made jacket can be different for different people. However, before buying one, you must know the purpose behind it. The good purpose will help you communicate the right design instructions to the manufacturer.

Also, do not hesitate to ask for a free trial. During that phase, you can test the comfort level, the fit, and the looks. 

Authentic bespoke jacket manufacturing companies allow you a free trial for 3-7 days. In the meantime, if you find it uncomfortable, you can send the jacket back for alteration.

So, consider these tips and get a custom-made jacket today.

Three Things You Should Know Before Starting an Art Career

A career in something you’re passionate about means every day at work can feel like an opportunity for self-satisfaction and personal growth. If you love being creative and artistic, then you may have considered a career in art before today and asked whether it was an opportunity for someone like you. The good news for would-be professional artists, is there are a multiple of fantastic ways to monetize your skills today. 

Everything from hand-drawn designs on Etsy to print-on-demand selling and custom art websites give you an opportunity to sell to people all over the world. You can even get hired by professional companies as an in-house artist for their branding and marketing campaigns. However, there are some important things to know before you jump in.

A Degree Does Help

While experience can go a long way in the art world, along with a strong portfolio, a degree can help you to unlock opportunities that other artists simply can’t access. With a degree, you can prove yourself to potential companies who might be willing to hire an up-and-coming artist to join their team. A degree also helps you to attract potential clients as a freelancer or business owner. Getting a degree might seem like a complex task, but with access to various forms of funding like Earnest student loans, you can find the cash you need and start your degree in no time. There’s even the option to learn online for some people.

Greatness Takes Time

The road to success for a lot of professionals can be very long, but for an artist, it often feels particularly complex. It takes a lifetime to build your craft, and there’s likely to be a lot of tears and headaches along the way. People can be cruel and unconstructive in the art world, and you’ll need to make sure you can achieve a positive mindset and that you are patient enough to move past it. If you really want to succeed in this complex space, you’ll need to focus on consistently working on your craft, looking for new opportunities, and building your network, so you can get your work in front of as many people as possible. 

Running Your Own Business Could Be Your Best Bet

Finally, while there are traditional hiring opportunities out there for artists, most find they get better opportunities in the freelance route. Today, countless platforms exist for different kinds of artists to offer their services with everything from custom portraits, to animation and logos. Running your own business could be the best way to make sure you’re constantly earning a source of income from different clients. However, there are pros and cons of being a small business owner, so this also means you’ll need to tackle the challenges that come with it, from learning how to market yourself, to making sure you keep an accurate inventory at all times. Becoming a professional artist won’t always be an easy road, but it could be worth it if it means you get to start a career in something you truly care about.

Before embarking on an art career, it’s important to familiarize yourself with platforms like Gelato that offer print-on-demand services, enabling artists to showcase and monetize their work through high-quality prints and products.

NIA AMBER – D.A.

Hip-Hop legend Trina’s protégé, Nia Amber, dropped highly anticipated single “D.A.” alongside a sensual music video while teasing her upcoming EP set to release this summer.

“’D.A.’ was inspired by a personal experience with a romantic situation that was complicated in my life at the time. I wanted to create a song that was sexy and sultry but at the same time has a direct message. I love this record, it has great balance,”  Nia told Wonderland. “The song is seductive but there are a few climatic spots in the song where listeners will bop their heads.”

Nia began her work with Trina years ago, being signed to the label in 2018. “I saw the potential in Nia years ago. I was excited about her, so I invited her to my studio session,” Trina told Wonderland. “She sang for me and I knew then and there I had to sign her. I said, if you are ready to put in the work, we can get to work. And we began our journey together. I’ve been really developing her over the years and I’m excited for what is to come for her this year.”

Nia is actively working on music to drop this year, in her own words, “you can expect BOPS.” She will release an EP this summer that will be about six songs with some dope features.

MORE ABOUT NIA AMBER:

From sharing the same stage with household names Doja CatSweetie, and Megan Thee Stallion, Nia Amber knows how to grasp everyone’s attention with her effortless feel-good vibe. Befitting in all ways – the name Nia means purpose, and she is very clear on hers. The dazzling songstress has not always had the undeniable confidence she now exudes. Hailing from Miami, Florida, the daughter of Bahamian parents once struggled with accepting her dark skin because she was teased for it. Because of this, she vowed to make it her mission to reassure anyone struggling with similar insecurities to know that they are beautiful just the way God made them. Her brand and the music that she makes centers around encouraging fans to love and accept themselves for who they are, just the way they were created. Nia has a strong passion and love for children and plans to one day start her own foundation that will be geared towards inspiring and empowering youth. This foundation will provide a platform that fosters self-love and confidence for all youth across the globe.

Growing up as a young star surrounded by arts, Nia’s mom was the first person to discover her musical gift. At the age of seven, Nia spent countless nights singing in the kitchen as she always tried to mimic the musical notes sung by her mother. Because of her deep love for music, she took chorus in elementary school and summer camp.

Before starting her journey as a solo artist, the R&B singer, songwriter, and classically trained dancer was one of five members of the girl group Amity Love. Under the guidance of Ms. Anita, Nia had a chance to build her experience as a diverse artist as she always had to strive to harmonize with four other girls. A natural stand-out, this was never easy for her, but she cherished the lessons of teamwork, determination, and compromise that came with the experience…and years later, these same attributes are what she leans on to cope with the bold music industry as a solo artist now.

In 2018, Nia Amber signed to Rockstarr Music Group, a label owned and managed by American rapper, songwriter, and actress Katrina Laverne Taylor “Trina.” She released her first single, “No More” in February 2019 and also had the privilege of being featured on the song “Redemption” by Trina and Ball Greezy. Nia released her latest single, “Swing My Way,” in August 2020, and since then, the song has captured over 100K streams across all major music streaming platforms. Producer/writer Arlon had his best work on this single as Nia set out to make a song that would make people dance and feel good.

With the promotion from her music label, Nia Amber has had an opportunity to share the same stage with renowned artists such as; Doja Cat, Big Latto, Saweetie, Lil Kim, Megan Thee Stallion, K. Michelle and many more. She has performed as a backup dancer and model for Brianna Perry’s Slow Dance, Back Der, One Dance, Cars and Them Other Bitches music videos. She was also a lead model in the Heart Break video featuring Fat Joe, The Dream and Remy Ma. For an artist from Miami, this was a significant opportunity for her promising career and has catapulted her to the forefront as a “big league” player, setting the stage for a widely successful year to come.

Her passion and love for music is driven by her purpose to uplift others, and with her infectious themes of self-love and acceptance, she is sure to succeed. Follow Nia Amber on her journey to success: InstagramTikTokTwitter and YouTube.
