    Lynn Hayek Debuts New Single “Tomorrow Will Define Us” at the United Nations on the International Day of Peace

    The Voice Kid Arabia winner Lynn Hayek and the United Voices New York City Gospel Choir led by Stanley Brown and Stephanie Fisher will be joining in song to debut the 13 year old’s new single “Bokra Tareekh” (Tomorrow Will Define Us) during the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York. The music video for the song will be released the following day in partnership with UNHCR.

    With a fan base of over 600k followers on Instagram and over 10 million views on YouTube, Lynn Hayek’s appeal stems from her ability to express teenage growing pains and discovery when she sings, offering full emotion through her vocals that defy her years. Her voice carries a warm tone that is reminiscent of soulful divas. Her inspirations mirror that charisma and include traditional Lebanese performers such as Melhem Zein, and kindred stars propelled under the spotlight at a very young age, such as Ariana Grande. Out now, “Party Language”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRuPzaMu6iQ is the budding star’s latest single with Grammy Award winner producer Oak and debut into the U.S. market.

    Tomorrow will Define Us (lyrics)

    Tomorrow we will be remembered in History

    And the whole world will know us

    No one can frighten us

    We will challenge time

    It is time to know you have a brother blood is thicker than water

    Tomorrow may be regretful

    Whats the use of regret if our nation is lost

    Tomorrow we will be remembered in History And the whole world will know us

    No one can frighten us

    We will challenge time

    The “Narratives for Peace” event will be in collaboration with Generations for Peace(GFP) and will focus on reframing the conversation around how the general public discusses peace and peacebuilding. Through a collaborative spirit with the Creative Arts, Entertainment, Marketing, Advertising, Media and Private sectors, the initiative aims to build a much more energetic and dynamic perspective on contemporary issues.

    ABOUT LYNN:

    At 12-years-old, Lynn Hayek became the first ever winner of The Voice Kids Arabia in 2016. Lynn, whose mature vocals and enviable range defy her years, has never had any formal training in music. She was mentored by Iraqi superstar and show judge, Kadim Al Sahir who has said that she has one of the most beautiful voices he has ever encountered.  Although she mainly sang in Arabic on The Voice Kids, her exquisite talent extends far beyond. After discovering that Lynn had a passion for western music, her voice proving to be on the level of top U.S pop stars, Platinum Independent signed her and was made her immediate home to launch her international  career. Platinum Independent (distributed by ADA Warner), is a music label headed by Taymoor Marmarchi, Chairman and Youdy Sanon, General Manager. Platinum Independent is a division of Platinum Records.

The event location couldn’t be more jaw-dropping- The Madison Square Park Tower – a full floor apartment on the market for 28 million smackeroos!
    This launch introduced me to the Halcyon collection. I couldn’t ask for a healthier beauty sleep! This luxury collection starts at 15,000 dollars– though there is a price point for everyone. The EOS line starts at $2500. Everyone is looking for a good mattress brand so there is something at every price point.

The Halcyon Collection advances Naturepedic’s foray into the designer mattress market, complementing its popular EOS collection. The Halcyon Collection consists of three distinct designs: Azure, Arcadia + Elysium.
    16-years ago the company was created when the founder became a grandpa and realized all the children’s mattresses on the market were slathered in toxic chemicals. As an environmental engineer and a chemical expert he was appalled. He designed a chemical free kids’ line which has now grown into multiple collections of adult and children’s mattresses.

    The Naturepedic EOS® Organic Mattress Sleep System offers an innovative, luxurious, and practical approach to mattress design. Its multi-layered, zippered construction allows you to customize the layers in your mattress, swap out layers and even change the feel of your mattress years later. You can also choose different layers for you and your sleep partner.

    Halcyon mattress can be customized to meet specific comfort preferences and each features certified organic cotton and latex. All mattresses include a luxury comfort blend  top-quilt consisting of alpaca, cashmere, and wool.
     
    Each finished Halcyon mattress if fully certified to the highest organic and ethical standards from unbiased third body parties, including the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS).
     
    Barry Cik, environmental engineer and co-founder of Naturepedic says “Your sleep environment should be a safe haven from the chemicals you’re bombarded with on a daily basis.” For the past 15 years Naturepedic has remained determined to provide the world with a safer, healthier sleep.
     
    At Naturepedic they produce the mattresses in Chagrin Falls, Ohio working with Amish craftsman. They believe that natural materials are at the core of comfort and support. From natural crib mattress for infants to organic king-size pillow-top mattresses for adults, or organic mattresses provide a safer, healthier sleep for you and your family.
    “I knew all about vinyl/PVC, polyurethane foam,
    and the various chemicals contained in them and there was no way I was going to put my grandchild to sleep within a few inches of these chemicals.”
    – Barry A. Cik, Co-Founder of Naturepedic

    Some Halloween Hacks

    • After applying two coats of your favorite polish, let your nails dry for a minute. Spray hairspray on them (from about 8-10 inches away), wait another minute or two, then wash your hands. Done!
    • Use hairspray on curtains to keep them looking great. The hairspray layer apparently helps deter dust.
    • Get those labels off! Spray it with hairspray as you peel it away. The hairspray takes away the tackiness of the glue.
    • Make up stains: Saturate the stain with hairspray, let it sit 10 minutes, and then launder the item.
    • Sewing your costume? Spray thread with hairspray to help you thread your needle faster.

    Going to use this tinker bell tutorial for my Halloween costume.

    • Spray bobby pins with hairspray first to help them get a better grip on your hair. Also try with confetti and glitter 🙂

    Add sparkly stars to your hair with hairspray.

    • Use it to tame your brows. Simply spray a clean mascara wand (or toothbrush) with hairspray, and apply it to your unruly brows.
    • Keep fresh cut flowers looking great longer by applying hairspray to them every couple of days.
    • Preserve your Christmas wreath! The hairspray helps seal in the wreath’s moisture, allowing the needles to hold on longer.
