Review: Conscious Alterations
**This giveaway is now closed!**
The word ‘Conscious’ can be defined as
- Having an awareness of one’s environment and one’s own existence, sensations, and thoughts.
- Mentally perceptive or alert; awake (via dictionary.com)
This can definately be said of Anni Kuhn, her designs, and gear found on her Etsy shop and at www.ConsciousAlterations.ca, home of the Original Wrap Cap. From the website:

I met Anni back when i lived in Calgary and developed an incredible girly crush on her designs. Not only does she create these amazing hats, but she creates costumes and flags for dancing and amazing leg warmers and whatever else tickles her fancy. i started my own personal collection small… starting with the Wrap Cap:
and over time i added a pair of orange flags to my collection – neon orange, black light sensitive… perfect for a mind altering dancing experience, and brown leg warmers… a MUST for anyone who lives in the Great White North… i’m not even kidding. They keep my legs warm at the same time adding a distinct style to my day to day!
Anni sent me a Pocket Belt a few weeks ago to try out and review… i’ve worn it every day since it arrived in the mail. Let me tell you how great it’s been to be wearing these pockets. Now i have a place for things like my cell phone, my car keys, a pen, business cards, and i still have pockets for cash, my ID, the other day i walked around with a toy car in my pockets all day that i had forgotten about.
As a new mom, these pockets have been oh so handy. This Pocket belt gives me the freedom to go PURSE FREE when i want to go for a walk, or head to the movies… no more putting my bag on the coke spilled floor.
That belt is made from sturdy stuff! Outdoor grade nylon to withstand heavy wear and use, and with snaps so the pockets can be removed and the belt can be put through belt loops on your pants (Form + Function! Sweet!) – you can also opt to wear one of the two pockets at any given time, and sewn onto the belt is an extra loop for uses such as hanging your keys off, or a pen holder.
It’s off the beaten path of accessories. It’s making a statement, consciously. It’s accessing change!
