HOLLYWOOD'S FACE OIL DARLING INTRODUCES NEW BODY OIL

Biography

Biography, the skincare authority for active oils, after just 3 short years, has developed an unparalleled cult following. Hollywood royalty and philanthropist Sharon Stone calls it "caviar for the skin." Oscar nominee Naomi Watts has posted about it on her instagram, model and actress Veronica Webb has written a blog about the brand, and American television journalist and author Katie Couric is quite possibly Biography's biggest fan! Now, just in time for dry winter skin, Biography introduces a new generation of active oil, the ultimate must-have Sea Chrome Revitalize Body Oil. "As CEO of Biography, I am personally delighted to introduce our new active body oil: Sea Chrome. This endeavor was deeply personal to me. I set out with a vision: to create 'the body oil for people who don’t like body oil,' born from the requests of clients and retailers seeking something new and different,” said Linda Thompson, CEO of Biography. Sea Chrome is a lightweight and fast-absorbing body oil with precision benefits that leaves skin nourished and feeling tight, with a subtle healthy glow. Guarana Seed Oil, the superstar ingredient is a botanical game-changer. Derived from the seeds of the Paullinia Cupana plant, what sets Guarana apart is its remarkable caffeine punch, making its skin tightening and firming properties more effective than traditional coffee beans. Sea Chrome's nourishing cocktail for the skin also contains highly moisturizing Baobab, Argan, Sasha Inchi and Tamanu Seed Oil known as anti-inflammatory and anti-aging antioxidants. It is so fast-absorbing, that there is no need to air dry. Green tea, Rose, Lotus Flower, Lily of the Valley, and Galbanum Vetiver work together to create Sea Chrome's intoxicating, mysterious scent which is reminiscent of metallic hulls, lapping waves, clinging barnacles, with a background of coastal wildflowers. "The Result? We've crafted a body oil that’s fast-absorbing and non-greasy, promises an all-day glow, and doesn't just stop there—it tightens and firms with an unmatched energy. Our choice of plant-derived moisturizers and actives made me ponder: Why settle for moisturizing products derived from highly refined petroleum generally used for their low cost and long shelf life but can clog pores or much worse, when the gifts of nature can deliver so much more?” Linda added. Biography's Sea Chrome Revitalize Body Oil is the new winter skin savior. Biography's vegan oils are all made with 100% sustainably sourced natural ingredients.

New Survey Reveals 77% of American High School Students Feel Overwhelmed by Tests

Bespoke Education

Bespoke Education Inc., which for more than 20 years has provided the highest quality tutoring, test preparation, and academic support to students from elementary through graduate school in both New York and France, today released a survey of parents of American high school students (n=600) in the wake of the last paper-and-pencil SAT exam earlier this month. Ahead of the nearly 100-year old paper test giving way to the future, all-new digital SAT coming in March, the survey showed that: Parents are taking the SAT very seriously with nearly 70% saying their students will take the test; only a small minority of parents say their kids will not take the SAT. Students start SAT preparations early–a majority have started by the end of the previous school year. Students prepare mainly through either self-study, or through SAT preparation and tutoring programs. About three-quarters of all parents report that their children “sometimes” to “always” feel overwhelmed or stressed about an upcoming test. Here is a detailed breakdown of the more important findings: Notwithstanding the decision of more than 2,000 higher education institutes to put test-optional admissions policies in place, parents and students continue to attach great importance to SAT results. A large majority (67.6%) of parents report that they are certain their child(ren) will take the new SAT this year. Q2: Will one of your children be taking the new SAT this year? ““Parents are clearly taking the SAT very seriously.” They intuitively know that the SAT test scores will continue to be important in later life for most American high school students,” said Bespoke Education CEO Tim Levin. Asked when their student(s) will begin preparing for the new SAT, a majority of parents (64.31%) reported that their student(s) either started this past summer or began preparing when school started. Q3: When will your student(s) begin preparing for the new SAT? “I was positively surprised by these answers. We will always recommend that students start preparing for the tests no later than when school starts. Starting after December significantly decreases the odds of posting a good test score,” said Levin. Students prepare for the SATs through self-study using books and online resources (34.46%), enrolling in an SAT preparatory course or tutoring program (28.69%), or participating in school-offered SAT preparatory sessions or workshops (26.76%). Q4: How exactly is/are your student(s) preparing or planning to prepare for the new SAT? “The most important thing is not how students prepare, but that they prepare. Fortunately, parents can choose from a number of options to help their student test takers develop the skills and confidence needed to perform at their best on test day. And of course, digital resources have made self-study much more valuable,” added Levin. The minority of parents with students who will not take the test were asked why these students would not take the SAT test. The number one answer to this question was that their student(s) is/are taking an alternative test (e.g. ACT) instead. Coming in second place, under “other,” a plethora of answers followed that seem to indicate that there is uncertainty with some parents on whether SAT tests are actually still taken. Third comes the answer that the colleges where parents are considering applying have test-optional admissions policies in place. Significantly, 8.05% of students will not take the SAT test because of stress or anxiety. Q7: Why will your student(s) not take the SAT? Parents were also asked to which degree their children feel overwhelmed by tests. 77.26% of parents report that their children feel “sometimes,” “often,” or “always” overwhelmed or stressed about an upcoming test. 40.19% feel either often or always overwhelmed. Q8: How often have one or more of your children expressed feeling overwhelmed or stressed about an upcoming test? On the question of how parents normally help their child(ren) cope with test anxiety, a large majority (65.01%) answered that they counsel their children themselves. “Test-related stress is a very real problem for many students but it can be addressed. That means teachers, counselors, tutors, and parents must get involved in supporting students as they prepare,” said Levin. “We expect stress levels to diminish as students become more comfortable with the new digital format, which is more accessible and less intimidating than the 100-year old paper version it replaces.” On the survey The survey was run on October 25, 2023. A total of 600 parents of American high school children were surveyed. 65.83% of all respondents were between 34 and 44 years old. 24.33% were between 45 and 55 and 9.83% were older than 54. All respondents lived in the United States. 49.17% were male, 50.83% were female.

BEST 3 STEP WINTER BEAUTY ROUTINE

Flora Mirabilis

Simplify and destress your cold-weather beauty routine with Flora Mirabilis (Latin for the wondrous flower). The cult-favorite line created by LA-based holistic esthetician Jordan LaFragola offers the most effective 3 step skincare routine that simplifies, destresses, and makes your routine more economical. The only three products you need for beautiful skin- perfect for travel and gifting! STEP ONE: CLEANSING CLAY is a rich, creamy blend of oils and clay that deep cleanses without drying skin out. Goes on like a cream and emulsifies to a silky lather with water, washing clean and leaving skin soft, smooth, and perfectly cleansed. Linoleic acid-rich carrier oils support healthy barrier function, decreasing moisture loss and nourishing the skin. Essential oils rich in terpenes are anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and detoxifying to purify the skin. Kaolin, the mildest of clays, does not pull oil from the skin and instead gently removes surface impurities, making it ideal for everyday use. Apple Cider Vinegar powder lowers the PH of the blend, so it is balanced and beneficial to the skin. The cleanser doubles as a mask when left on the skin! The tube is 5 layer aluminum barrier laminate and shapes to the clay when squeezed. 3oz, $60 STEP TWO: The ultra-clean FACE OIL moisturizer is handcrafted in small batches from 10 transformative plant-based ingredients that brighten, balance, soften, and restore skin, enabling a full range of results in a single step. Sacha Inchi, Apricot Kernel, and Pomegranate Seed oils form the blend's base. These hypoallergenic fruit seed oils are rich in fatty acids, giving the oil its smooth, lightweight texture and intense skin nourishing abilities. Vanilla and Saffron are infused for an antioxidant boost that leaves skin bright and glowing. Essential oils of Sandalwood, Frankincense, Lavender, Rose, and Oud are rich in phytonutrients that restore balance to your skin and give the oil its subtle, gender-neutral scent. Since the beginning, Flora Mirabilis FACE OIL has been handcrafted in small batches for friends, private clients, and niche boutiques. It features a natural, subtle, gender-neutral scent of wood and resin. The bottle is spill-proof and break-resistant, presented in custom-designed white glass with a hand-finished wood cap and a Renaissance-inspired floral motif. EWG Verified™, Leaping Bunny certified, and clinically tested on people, never animals. It is dermatologist-tested and free of synthetic ingredients, fragrances, dyes, and other common skin allergens. The hypoallergenic formula is recommended for even the most sensitive skin. 30ml, $120 STEP THREE: The heavyweight facial massage BEAUTY TOOL is forged from medical-grade 304 stainless steel and used to encourage lymphatic drainage, boost circulation, and relax tense muscles, promoting a healthy, glowing complexion. The ergonomic shape rounds inward on one edge and outward on the other to fit the face and neck contours, with blunt, pointed tips for acupressure and precision work around smaller areas. It is break-proof and designed to last a lifetime. $60 Flora Mirabilis offers a three-piece set, packaged in a wooden gift box and tied with a decorative ribbon. Includes full-size FACE OIL, CLEANSING CLAY, and stainless-steel BEAUTY TOOL. $220 Contact Details Spotlight Beauty PR spotlightbeautypr@gmail.com

Eat It, Drink It? Track It - Thrive Through the Holiday Season: Don't Wait for January to Begin Calorie Tracking

YourUpdateTV

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the temptation to put off our health goals until the new year. Recently, Registered Dietician, Maya Feller, conducted a satellite media tour to share some easy tips and tricks to enjoy the holiday cheer while sticking to healthy habits. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/b_Kh_o3jNI4 Holiday gatherings typically revolve around food and drink, and now it’s easier to stay on track with your health goals during the holidays while still partaking in all the fun. Tracking your food and drink intake with the free MyFitnessPal app is an easy way to keep an eye on how you’re tracking against your goals. How To Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season Tracking involves both quantity (calories) and quality (macros, which include protein, fat, and carbs) of what you eat. It can be difficult to make sure you are getting enough protein and fiber without tracking with a tool, like MyFitnessPal. MyFitnessPal’s food database contains over 18 million foods, so you’ll be able to find nutrition insights on whatever holiday treat you’re looking forward to eating. Go one-for-one. Consider matching a glass of water for each cocktail you enjoy. Alcohol, along with added sugars found in cocktails, can add up quickly - leading to dehydration, changes in blood sugar, and unwanted morning-after headaches if you’re not careful. Tracking with MyFitnessPal can provide insights into how much added sugar you’re eating - and drinking. Give yourself some grace; enjoying celebration meals does not mean you need to go into a cycle of restricting food intake and over-exercising as compensation. The foundation of your health is built on routines and what you do the majority of the time. Nourish your body throughout the day to take the charge out of the celebratory meal. Add plants (fruits and veggies) that are accessible, affordable, culturally relevant, and tasty to your routine. Adding these foods increases the nutrient density of your meals. If you want to finish the year off strong, MyFitnessPal can provide inspiration on making small daily changes that add up to big improvements over time. Whether inspiration for new recipes, or providing healthier holiday alternatives, the app is like having a nutritionist and support community in the palm of your hand, plus the insights can be very eye-opening. To learn more, download the MyFitnessPal app on iOS and Android or visit MYFITNESSPAL.COM About Maya Feller Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN is the founder and lead dietitian at Maya Feller Nutrition. In her practice, her team provides medical nutrition therapy and nutrition coaching for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mood disorders, developmental disabilities, disordered eating, and more.

Young shared how focusing on his dreams as a kid led him on a path to become a first-round draft pick for the Panthers. “My dream began in Pasadena, California at Victory Park running around, having fun and not worrying about anything but playing football. Football is where I found myself and not just in sports, but through life.” Young talked about how hard work, encouragement from his mentors and his own self-belief, led him to football success. “Challenges are inevitable in sports and life. The game gave me a sense of direction and a sense of accomplishment. No matter how hard, ultimately it allowed me to grow.” “We are excited to kick off our first episode of Cleared For Takeoff while celebrating the launch of the iconic Air Jordan 11 Gratitude,” said Sarah-Sharp Wangaard, VP Marketing, Hibbett. “We believe in inspiring kids and providing opportunities for them to “take flight,” follow their dreams and live boldy without limits. We appreciate Bryce Young, Jordan Brand and the Jordan Wings Initiative for helping us bring this episode to life.” During the episode, Young is seen stopping by Hibbett in Charlotte and visiting with 23 Jordan Wings students from the Carolina Youth Coalition and Rise2Impact, both partners of the Jordan Wings Initiative. The purpose of the Jordan Wings Initiative - which works with partners globally - is to unlock access to education and mentorship, as well as, create inspiration and access that helps youth create a better future. It is inspired by Michael Jordan’s legacy of greatness and commitment to education. The students got the surprise of their lives when Young showed up to meet with them and discuss how he approached his own journey to success. Young encouraged the students to follow their own dreams and to find their passion. “Dreams are something that have always guided me and always pushed me. The beautiful thing is that there is no limit to what it can be. I’m grateful to be in the position I am to inspire the next generation. Understand that no matter where you’re from, your background, what is against you, or isn’t, all things are possible.” Young then ended his visit by gifting the students with their very own pairs of Air Jordan 11’s. Hibbett also presented each student in attendance with a $1000 giftcard to enjoy a private shopping experience and purchase shoes for the year ahead.
