Pop in and pop out with original hand made products from London's next generation of designers thanks to Established pop up shop at Westfield Stratford.

On the 20th of this month July, the Established Pop- up shop opened its doors to the Royal Baby happy shoppers for a whole new concept and shopping experience. In one of the retail spaces at Westfield Stratford, original products and designs from local designers and curators are displayed.  From organic beauty products, jewelry and fashion to photography and artworks, there is virtually something for everyone.
Established Pop- up shop is part of the Charity - community Link's projects helping locals have access to the economic power house of this great nation. The project also provides training and support for individuals, start up businesses and social enterprises.
The Pop - up is designed to give new traders an invaluable experience, increase their retail knowledge and raise the profile of their brands. The best part of being that participating designers and traders only have to render a fraction of their profit to the project to be re-injected back into the scheme.

Some of designer and product brands in the pop up are :
Lovable Embroidered gifts - By Tumaini Lawrence - Embroidery designer.

Positive Image project - By Denise and Flo - Educators and Publishers.

Childbirth claims another woman's life. Rest in peace Adenike Ogungbe.

We have just received the  sad news of the passing of Adenike Ogungbe the Ceo of EWAR makeovers today after child birth.

Report has it that it is due to Pre-eclampsia - a medical condition characterized by high blood pressure and significant amounts of protein in the urine of a pregnant woman. If left untreated, it can develop into eclampsia, the life-threatening occurrence of seizures during pregnancy.

We need to create awareness about this condition that has claimed so many young women's lives.






Some of the symptoms:
High blood pressure
Protein in urine
severe headaches
Vision problem such as blurring or seeing flashing lights
pain in the upper abdomen (just below the ribs)
vomiting
excessive weight gain due to fluid retention
feeling generally unwell.


This condition however, if dictated early can be easily managed. It is unfortunate that in this day and age, women of worth are still being lost due to simple manageable conditions. We are deeply saddened by the news. Our hearts go out to the family, friends and the entire EWAR makeover team.
