YourUpdateTV

Believe it or not, back to school season is just around the corner. According to a recent survey conducted by Shipt, the same-day delivery company, nearly 50% of teachers as well as over one-third of parents and caregivers (37%) plan to begin their back to school shopping this month (July). Recently, Chief Business Officer Rina Hurst participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss everything students, parents and teachers need to know before school is in session. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/PmN6Dm7gqiY Known for their personalized shopping experience, Shipt recently polled parents, caregivers, teachers and college students to uncover the top must-have school supplies for back to school shopping. Rooted in insights from the survey as well as proprietary data, Shipt created the Ultimate School Shopping Checklist, a shoppable list of school essentials to guide consumers what to buy, and how to save, this retail season. According to Shipt's Ultimate Shopping Guide, here are the top insights to know: · Write This One Down: While pens and pencils might seem like an obvious choice to be at the top of your list, more than half of parents say these are also the items that their kids run out of the quickest during the school year, so take advantage of back to school sales to stock up now. · No Back-to-Back Backpacks: More than 80% of parents plan to buy their kid a new backpack ahead of the school year – and what’s more, they happen to be a great way to incentivize your kids to get excited about back to school shopping because they can pick out a new backpack that fits their style so start by picking out a new backpack so shopping is fun for everyone! · Classroom SOS: For those looking to lend a helping hand, the top two items that teachers run out of the fastest in their classroom are pencils and dry erase markers. · Keepin’ It Cool: Whether you’re hosting, studying or late night-snacking, don’t forget to add a mini fridge to your dorm room must-haves this school year. Almost half of college students (44%) report that they plan to purchase a mini fridge this year.

Telland Releases First of Its Kind Farmland NFTs on Telos Blockchain

Telos Foundation

The mint is currently underway on Telos EVM providing users with a unique opportunity to own collectable artistic NFTs representing access to yields from 100 square meters of physical land within the Proyecto Ecológico Nuestro Paraíso in the Northwestern region of Piura, Peru, South America. However, the use-case of Telland NFTs goes far beyond simple ownership. These land plots will contribute to the growth of local farmers' sustainable organic produce and a more robust economy in the region. Perpetual Rewards for Holders Users that mint one or more Telland NFTs will receive annual rewards in perpetuity, financially backed by the revenue generated from the South American farmland. Currently there are only 100 NFT parcels of land priced at $150 USD in TLOS tokens each available to mint. The rewards payment breakdown is as follows: Year 1 of ownership - Holder receives minimum guarantee of $30 (20% APR on NFT mint price) Year 2 of ownership - Holder receives a minimum guarantee of $50 (33% APR on NFT mint price) Year 3 of ownership - Holder receives a minimum guarantee of $75 (50% APR on NFT mint price). This minimum continues perpetually from year 3 onwards. The collection debuts at an ideal moment as accumulating land ownership is more challenging for millennials today than at any other time in our history. Furthermore, Telland NFTs offers holders a chance to generate passive revenue from a real-world asset that benefits the environment while omitting painstaking bureaucratic processes and paperwork. Telland is also a participant in the Telos Mission NFT contest, which offers NFT creators a chance to win substantial prize money and acclaim in the NFT community. The contest has over 60 submissions to date and Telland's participation provides yet another opportunity for value increase in the event Telland is announced a winner. Public voting begins on July 23, 2002, on the TaiKai Network. "We chose Telos primarily for two factors: the community and the technology. The vision of the founders of Telos was to create a community around the ideas of service to society and care for the environment. Telland wants to do just that by converting arid lands into farmlands that produce fruits with a high nutritional content that help the well-being of humanity. In terms of technology, the ease of creating and deploying smart contracts in the Telos EVM, the incredible speed and low cost of transactions was such that the decision to build on their network was simple." -Paul Gonzales, Telland Co-founder "Telland is an amazing example of real-world application of NFTs and a glimpse at the future of tokenised land and real estate. At $150 an NFT, these prove to be a very interesting way to gain exposure to the value of real estate. The idea of being able to buy and trade land rights with such ease is magical to anyone who has had the pleasure of making a traditional real estate purchase where the process is incredibly slow (taking 2-4 weeks) and requiring middle men and costly fees" -Justin Giudici, Telos Foundation CEO About Telos Live since 2018, Telos Blockchain (ticker: TLOS) is an ESG compliant Layer 1 smart contract platform that offers full-service compatibility with Solidity, Vyper and Native C++ smart contracts. The Telos EVM is the most powerful and scalable Ethereum Smart Contract platform built to power Web 3.0.

BIRMINGHAM, AL – July 19, 2022, Hibbett, Inc., an athletic-inspired fashion retailer with more than 1,100 Hibbett and City Gear specialty stores nationwide, today announced the launch of the latest Small-Town Sneakerhead (STSH) episode. Single mother, small business owner and sneaker enthusiast, Rochelle Sullivan, takes viewers in and around her hometown of Lyman, a small mill town outside of Greenville, South Carolina and reveals her favorite spots and impressive sneaker collection. “Sneakerheads can’t be categorized as one type of person, they are unique and inspiring individuals connected by their affinity for sneaker culture,” said Sarah Sharp-Wangaard, VP Marketing, Hibbett. "With every episode this project adds new twists to the world of collecting, varied demographics, geography and multi-generational stories, sure to inspire like-minded people who are passionate about sneakers. We are grateful to the characters who are willing to talk to us and share their personal journey.” “I started collecting when I was about 12 because my brother was a high school athlete and I was drawn to all the cool sneakers the players wore at his games,” said Rochelle Sullivan. “I was then determined to save my allowance to purchase cool sneakers. I have passed the passion along to my 10-year-old son, Weston, who has been wearing all types of sneakers since day one. I love to include him in my hunt for new releases, take him back-to-school sneaker shopping locally and to sneaker conventions.” In the new episode of Small-Town Sneakerhead, Sullivan and her son lead cameras around to visit some of her favorite eateries and spots in and around Lyman. The crew stops by Red Hill Hot Dogs, Tyger River Ballpark, Greenville Falls Park and Hibbett Greenville. Sullivan says growing up in a small town like Lyman was great but its quickly growing and as it is becoming more diverse, she is looking forward to new types of experiences. Some of Sullivan’s favorite pairs in her collection include; Kobe 6 “Grinch,” Kobe 6 “Mambacita,” Sean Wotherspoon 1/97 Air Max and the Concepts, Patta and Atmos Air Max packs. “You don’t have to have a lot of pairs to be a Sneakerhead, you just have to love sneakers,” said Rochelle Sullivan. “I style my looks with sneakers first and then the outfit – if the sneakers are the statement piece then I keep the outfit neutral and vice versa.” “As Nike celebrates 50 years of excellence, it is great seeing stories of the love of sneakers being handed down from generation to generation,” said Matt Halfhill, Founder and CEO, Nice Kicks. “Whether it be in big cities or in small towns, Nike is part of many people's journeys as sneakerheads.” The new STSH episode featuring Rochelle Sullivan launches today across digital channels and social platforms including; Hibbett.com, NiceKicks.com, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

Female-Led Wellness & Beauty Brand Unveils Bold, New Brand Look and Inspiring Tagline

Reserveage

Reserveage, French-inspired beauty supplement and skincare brand, has relaunched today with an eye-catching, bold, new brand look. The goal is to better reflect their mission to provide women of all ages and backgrounds with science-backed, proven products that support radiant health, well-being, and natural beauty—inside and out. With self-care as a starting point, Reserveage is redefining their approach to beauty with a holistic mindset, a purpose-filled vision, and product innovation driven by the evolving needs of women through every age and stage of their life. “Last year, we took a step back to focus on awareness studies and macro trends happening within the health and beauty space,” says Yamit Sadok, Senior Director of Marketing. “Our major takeaways were that we must meet women where they are and continue to make a fundamental shift from anti-aging to pro-aging and from an industry-driven aspirational beauty ideal to a personal ideal where women define beauty for themselves.” As part of this new direction, Reserveage charged a renowned female photographer and notable female artist to create new packaging that represents a more inclusive, broader definition of beauty, as well as the idea that beauty, wellness, and self-care are inextricably linked. Rising to the challenge, they combined a vibrant color palette with real floral photography to capture the spirit and essence of a bold, modern woman—her individuality, growth, and multi-faceted beauty. This female-driven campaign was created by women for women, which is reflected in the elevated packaging design, as well as the overarching message that beauty itself—and the products that help a woman achieve it—begin from within. In addition to the new packaging, the brand will launch a new digital and influencer campaign, website, and tagline to ensure its core consumer feels represented, understood, supported, and inspired. “We truly are a company that believes beauty doesn’t have a time limit and that what makes a woman unique is also what makes her beautiful,” says Sadok. “Our new brand look and tagline ‘Believe in your beauty. We do.’ embodies this belief and inspires women to believe it too.” The new campaign has started to rollout across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, as well as print ads, broadcast media advertisements, and in-store takeovers at select retailers this year. Consumers can now see the new packaging available for purchase on Reserveage’s website, Amazon, Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, Natural Grocers, CVS Pharmacy, Vitacost, IHerb, and soon at key retailers including King Soopers, Ingles, Raley’s, Publix Green wise locations and more. For more information visit Reserveage.com/new look or follow-on Instagram @reserveagenutrition. About Reserveage: Founded and run by woman, Reserveage is a leading wellness and beauty brand. Their name combines the words “reserve” and “age” to highlight one of their flagship supplement ingredients, resveratrol, a compound found in red wine that helps women to stay healthier for longer. They are category pioneers in the supplement space with three number one selling brands, including resveratrol, collagen, and keratin. With the addition of a new skincare line featuring a proprietary microencapsulated copper peptide technology that promotes the appearance of collagen-rich skin, they have established a complete self-care system that supports beauty, health, and well-being from the inside-out and outside in. Reserveage brings every product to market with science-backed results— ensuring high-quality, proven products that help women of all ages to look and feel radiantly healthy, inside, and out. Reserveage is available at some of the world’s top retailers, such as Amazon, Vitamin Shoppe, CVS Pharmacy, Whole Foods, Natural Grocers, King Soopers, Vitacost, Iherb, natural stores nationwide and more.

Spiceology and Chef Alvin Cailan are Officially Declaring it “Flavor SZN” with New Line Of Spice Blends

Spiceology

Spiceology, a chef-owned, chef-operated company and the fastest growing spice company in America, today announced a collaboration and new line of seasonings with Chef Alvin Cailan, host of The Burger Show, owner of Amboy Quality Meats and Delicious Burgers, author of Amboy: Recipes from The Filipino-American Dream, creator of Eggslut and now the force behind Umami Burger. The new collection, coined “Flavor SZN”, includes four ultra-versatile blends that bring Cailan’s sense for great comfort food to life. “Burgers are synonymous with Alvin, so working together on a burger-inspired line to level up the classics was a no brainer,” said Tony Reed, Senior Director of Innovation and Partnerships at Spiceology. “It was important for both of us to keep these blends simple with recognizable ingredients that work well with all of your favorite foods. With just a few shakes or teaspoons of these blends, your menu favorites can become inspired, at-home staples.” Flavor SZN is minimalistic and nostalgic, with blends that emulate and elevate the simple everyday menu items like burgers, fries and chicken. But despite being minimalist, the blends are complex and all-purpose, intended to level up whatever you shake them on. “A good burger starts with good flavor,” said Chef Alvin Cailan who has traveled the country tasting burgers at the most classic burger spots. “But good flavor is an art. It was critical for me to create blends with Spiceology that bring everyone that good flavor, easily. The blends elevate everyday comfort food, and so we mean it when we say it’s Flavor SZN.” Combining Cailan’s Filipino roots and upbringing in California, his idea of flavor falls somewhere in between the two and beyond: Burger SZN ($14.95) - Start any burger (or really anything) with this solid foundation of salt, pepper and garlic and Cailan’s personal level up touch of ground Mexican oregano. This super savory blend brings dishes to life, including burgers, cauliflower steak, potatoes, pasta, rice dishes and hearty vegetables. Fries SZN ($14.95) - This blend brings side-dishes to the center of the plate. With salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne and a touch of sugar at its core, this blend has sweet and savory scents and leveled up flavor from celery salt. Besides fries, this blend elevates shrimp, edamame, sweet potatoes and nuts. Chicken SZN ($14.95) - Inspired by the flavors of Filipino street chicken, this blend is pungent in the best way possible. The slightly nutty, sweet and peppery taste of this blend comes from Annatto seed, an ingredient often in Filipino cooking. Try it on chicken, noodle soups, bok choy, pork and in dressings. Everything SZN ($14.95) - Paying homage to Cailan’s Filipino roots, this seaweed and mushroom-based all-purpose blend hits all 5 core tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami). Try it on burgers, mushrooms, soups, noodles and fish. The blends are available in 9 oz. jars and as a 4-pack giftable or sample pack. For more information on the partnership and the blends, visit Spiceology.com/collaborations/alvin-cailan. ABOUT SPICEOLOGY Founded in 2013, Spiceology is the fastest-growing privately owned spice company in America, who set out on a mission from day one to eliminate dull flavor. The chef-owned and operated, one-stop spice shop offers innovative signature blends and over 300 fresh small-batch ground spices, herbs, chiles, salts, confections, fruit and vegetable powders, and modernist cooking ingredients. By bringing both staple and unique flavor to leading restaurants and directly to your home kitchen, Spiceology aims to change how its community adds flavor to their food, for good. The brand is sold direct to consumers and chefs across the U.S. and Canada, with customers as far-reaching as Australia and Dubai. For more information or to place an order, visit www.spiceology.com or follow us on Facebook and Instagram. For recipe inspiration, visit here. ABOUT ALVIN CAILAN Chef Alvin Cailan's career spans a multitude of successes. He has risen to become arguably the most high-profile chefs in America's Filipino food movement. He began his career expanding his craft in the kitchens of Michelin starred chefs Matt Lightner and David Lefebre. Following, Cailan garnered national acclaim for the Eggslut food concept which has successfully expanded to national and international locations. In the beginning of 2020, Chef Cailan opened Amboy Quality Meats & Delicious Burgers, the in-demand Los Angeles burger shop that quickly amassed a loyal customer following and in 2021 he became the name and face of international burger chain Umami Burger. Throughout his career, Cailan has focused on quality and taste to ensure the best experience for his customers. His flare for making great comfort food led to his role as host of The Burger Show which airs on YouTube and Hulu reaching a dedicated audience of food and burger lovers around the world.
