Since graduating from University of Southern California and the summa cum laude Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising with her degree in Merchandise Marketing in California, AS OF TODAY's founder, Sarah Choi, has never stopped innovating. Today, she is very excited to share the unique benefits of AS OF TODAY's R-Peptide Ampoule, a product that is transforming the world of skin rejuvenation and hydration.

‍

AS OF TODAY's R-Peptide Ampoule is the culmination of years of research, experience, and passion within the skincare industry. It achieves visible, effective results thanks to its key ingredient: R-Peptide. This ingredient is a signature of AS OF TODAY's entire skincare product line, which shows how much confidence Sarah and her brand have in its healing properties. The naturally derived neuro-calming peptide acts on the skin's opioid receptors, reactivating skin barriers and thus, reversing signs of stress-aging.

‍

R-Peptide is what powers AS OF TODAY's R-Peptide Ampoule, which is in itself the perfect vessel for high-impact healing ingredients. Highly-concentrated active ingredients are specially formulated to hydrate skin and leave it soothed, refreshed, and repaired. Just a pea-sized amount in the morning and at night is all it takes to help skin look luminous and rejuvenated.

‍

AS OF TODAY was founded with the aim to inspire a positive, modern, and effective skincare routine for those needing self-care. This vision permeates their products, with clean, cruelty-free ingredients that are exclusively sourced from Paris and incorporated into AS OF TODAY's R-Peptide Ampoule. AS OF TODAY believes that maintaining self-love, positivity, and unity goes a long way towards effective skincare. Skin is the outward reflection of the inner self, so it is important that AS OF TODAY's R-Peptide Ampoule is something customers can feel good about using.

‍

Within AS OF TODAY's R-Peptide Ampoule, there are absolutely none of the following: parabens, mineral oil, animal oil, phthalates, sulfates triclosan, talc, retinol, plastic microbeads, hydroquinone, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, octinoxate, oxybenzone, and DEA/TEA/MEA. Instead, AS OF TODAY's R-Peptide Ampoule contains clean, high-quality ingredients that only have positive and clinically-proven results. In as soon as two to eight weeks of use, wrinkles will be visibly reduced and skin will be smoother and more hydrated. Here are all the benefits that AS OF TODAY's R-Peptide Ampoule offers:

‍

• Highly-concentrated R-Peptide with active level
• Leaves skin hydrated and glowing
• Diminishes wrinkles and fine lines
• Rejuvenates skin vitality
• Restores the skin barrier
• Combats stress-aging

‍

External pollutants and internal stresses can damage the skin barrier and increase signs of aging, discoloration, and wrinkles. AS OF TODAY's R-Peptide Ampoule is designed to remedy this. It strengthens the skin barrier to make skin look brighter, smoother, and healthier, while its clean and cruelty-free ingredients support AS OF TODAY's ever-present philosophy.

‍

AS OF TODAY's R-Peptide Ampoule is the next skincare breakthrough. Leading industry science, high-quality ingredients, visible results, and an uncompromising vision all combine to form the next addition to your skincare routine. AS OF TODAY was recently featured in Vogue siting the premium products and visible results.

KaraMD, a unique line of natural remedies that target digestive and heart health, increasing natural energy and more, announced the launch of Pure D3 Plus, a drug-free alternative formulated to support healthy levels of Vitamin D and magnesium.

‍

Pure D3 Plus is designed specifically for general health and wellness support, Pure D3 Plus's potent & proprietary blend offers benefits such as improved bone and cardiovascular health, strengthened immune system, better mood and other overall health benefits.

‍

Mahmud Kara, M.D., Founder of KaraMD, developed Pure D3 Plus as a gluten-free, vegan-friendly and non-GMO supplement that complements every type of lifestyle. Formulated with 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3, the Pure D3 Plus supplement is the ultimate veggie capsule.

‍

"We weren't built for the 21st century," said Dr. Kara, founder of KaraMD. "Between nutrient-deficient foods, our "always on" stressful lifestyle, and environmental toxins, our overall health is always at risk and many of us suffer from similar ailments. That's why I created Pure D3 Plus as a general health support supplement that makes a great addition to any daily regimen."

‍

Research shows that Vitamin D3, the leading component of Pure D3 Plus, can help with:

• Immune System Support: Vitamin D3 may help reduce the risk for various illnesses and infections
• Better Mood: Vitamin D3 can help improve mood, and reduce depressive symptoms
• Weight Management Efforts: When combined with a healthy diet and exercise plan, vitamin D3 has been linked to weight loss
• Improved Bone Strength: Vitamin D3 is an essential mineral for bone health and strength

‍

Research shows that Magnesium, another key ingredient in Pure D3 Plus, can help with:

• Stamina and Natural Energy Levels: Vitamin D3 may improve performance and stamina because it helps move blood sugar to the muscles and prevents lactate buildup that can lead to muscle fatigue
• Healthy Insulin Production: Proper magnesium levels may reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes because of the role it plays in blood sugar levels
• Heart Health: Magnesium helps regulate blood pressure and reduce the risk for heart problems
• Reduced inflammation: Maintaining magnesium levels can reduce inflammation and slow the aging process
• Improve Sleep: Proper magnesium levels can help improve the quality of sleep, duration of sleep, and reduce insomnia
• Constipation Relief: Magnesium is an essential mineral that has been used for centuries to help relieve constipation and other digestive issues

‍

Pure D3 Plus is priced at $24.95 and can be purchased online at https://www.karamd.com/.

SOFi Products, the Miami-based creator of durable, compostable paper SOFi, announced today it has released the first 100% biodegradable cup that eliminates the need for a plastic lid.

‍

The SOFi Cold Cup is a foldable, plastic-free, and bioplastic-free cup that will biodegrade naturally within 180 days in landfills, soil, or marine environments.

‍

"There are no cups currently on the market that are 100% biodegradable and eliminate the need for a plastic lid," said SOFi co-founder Brandon Leeds. "Until now, all cups — even those that say 'compostable' — must either be sent to a composting facility or recycled. Both rarely occur and cups end up in landfills where they will take decades to biodegrade. If the SOFi Cold Cup ends up in the ocean or a landfill, it will be gone in under 180 days. This product is made to be unmade."

‍

The SOFi Cold Cup features four flaps that fold together to form a spill-proof lid and accommodate any of SOFi's paper straws. This design eliminates the need for a separate lid, saving businesses money on additional inventory as well as freight costs. By eliminating lids, the Cold Cup also opens up precious storage space inside businesses.

‍

Brothers Brandon and Jordan Leeds founded SOFi after they grew tired of seeing plastic waste in the waterways and on the beaches of Miami. Rather than turning a blind eye, the two decided to do something about it.

‍

SOFi stands for "South of Fifth," which is the area of Miami beach in which the brothers were inspired. In 2019, the brothers set out to create a paper straw that lasts for hours, does not get soggy, and does not taste like paper. The straws were a hit, and are now offered nationwide in Walmart and at a variety of coffee and restaurant chains, including La Colombe, Bluestone Lane, Earl of Sandwich, Alfred Coffee, and more.

‍

"At SOFi Paper Products, we believe protecting the planet should be straightforward, safe, and simple," said SOFi co-founder Jordan Leeds. "All of our products are made with real paper and without buzzwords. They're the type of compostable that doesn't require a special separate facility. And they are the type of biodegradable that you learned about in science class: Just put it in the ground and it goes away in less than 180 days."

You may think, or want to think every Amish community is the same. A simple, peaceful world of wholesome bliss, fluff and romance. The Amish community of Caroline Creek is none of those things. There are kidnappings, murders, backstabbing and betrayal among members of the church, and that is just the beginning. In his second installment of the Caroline Creek series, Mose J. Gingerich's Chaos proves a community is most vulnerable without its leader. When the Bishop disappears, gossip and speculation quickly turn to fear as this Amish community spirals into a tangled web of deceit, power struggles, and an invisible hand that seems to be playing God with their lives. It's up to Maria Reader, a stubborn and rebellious teenage Amish outcast, to save them before all is lost.

‍

Gingerich brings his more than 20 years living in an Amish community to every page, building upon some of the harsh and often hidden realities of Amish life he experienced growing up. In a genre often dominated by idealistic characters and relationships, Gingerich provides a new and compelling perspective, guaranteed to hook readers from page one. Chaos follows the first book in the Caroline Creek series, Shadows We Remain, published in 2021. Gingerich is available for remote or in person interviews to talk more about the series, as well as his time both in and out of Amish life.

Artist Robyn Mallery has recently launched his first NFT campaign. The theme revolves around the word “line” and its many uses.

“Phrases like cross the line, line of sight, strings attached, caught in a web, draw the line, no strings on me, a string of events, high strung, line up, waiting in line, and so many more are used daily,” Mallery said. “What is a line? Who determines it? Is it subjective? These are all rhetorical questions I aim to ask with this NFT series. I want the viewers to define a boundary.”

Mallery is a current student at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. His NFT collection is for sale exclusively via Voice, under the handle @RobynMalleryArt.

Because Market, a Direct-to-Consumer brand that focuses on the ever-evolving needs of older adults, is celebrating its 5th birthday. After looking for incontinence supplies for his family and coming up short, co-founder Alexi Suvacioglu embarked on a mission to bring high-quality bladder protection products discreetly to customers' homes. 5 years later, the company has served over 450,000 customers and is one of the few Direct-to-Consumer companies to focus exclusively on the underserved older adult demographic.

‍

While Because is celebrating a birthday this month, not everyone, especially those aged 50+, feels celebratory about getting a year older. After reaching a certain age, individuals are often faced with messages that reinforce negative attitudes about aging. To help reframe these attitudes, Because is partnering with Changing the Narrative, a non-profit focused on ending ageism. For the month of August, Because will be giving away age-friendly birthday cards from Changing the Narrative's Anti-ageist Birthday Card Project, to help people re-frame aging, starting with their own friends and family.

‍

"Research shows that thinking positively about aging can improve our health and increase our lifespan. Unfortunately, we're often surrounded by ageist messages. We're excited to partner with Because to push back on the idea that aging is equivalent to decline" says Janine Vanderburg, Director and Chief Catalyst at Changing the Narrative.

‍

"The older adults in my personal life have always been an inspiration to me," says Alexi. "We believe in connecting our customers with products that can help maximize the longevity and quality of life, and we think these cards are another small way to do that."

‍

WHAT IT IS:

For the month of August, Because will be giving away age-friendly birthday cards for individuals to send to loved ones as an alternative to the predominantly negative messages that are available today.

‍

HOW TO GET THEM:

Caraway, a women's+ digital healthcare company, emerged from stealth to take on the societal and medical imperative of caring for college students by providing integrated mental, reproductive and physical healthcare.  Today's GenZers expect to receive healthcare on their own terms – an experience that is personalized, equitable and digitally accessible. Built with students for students, Caraway prioritizes the needs and concerns of college women+ during a key developmental-age window.  Caraway's virtual care services are delivered 24/7, so women+ can get the care they need when they need it, and are set to launch in the fall of 2022.

‍

Caraway was hatched through a partnership between 7wireVentures, OMERS Ventures, and veteran digital health leaders Lori Evans Bernstein and Joshua Tauber. A $10.5 million seed round was led by 7wireVentures and OMERS Ventures, with participation from Hopelab Ventures, as well as notable angel investors.  The funding will be used to support the growing need for accessible, affordable and innovative healthcare solutions for women+ of all races, ethnicities, gender identities and sexual orientations.

‍

"Many college students are in crisis, and for women, getting the care they need is increasingly challenging.  It shouldn't be this way," said CEO and Co-founder Lori Evans Bernstein. "Our students go to college not only for an academic experience, but also to  learn how to cope and flourish independently.  Caraway combines an experienced clinical care team and passionate GenZers to support women+ in taking care of themselves in an increasingly complicated and hard to access healthcare system."

‍

On-campus college healthcare services do not meet the demand for the U.S. population of approximately 10 million college women+. The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in an endemic of depression and anxiety, and a frightening escalation in suicide ideation, and suicide.  A 2021 Healthy Minds Network study of college student mental health found that 34 percent of respondents had anxiety disorder and 41 percent reported depression.  For students who have considered dropping out, a new report shows that 71% cited emotional stress as being a key factor.

‍

Even before the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, there were barriers and persistent inequities in women's+ health and a need to ensure greater availability of care to college women+.  The new reality facing women in many states makes the need all the more critical. Reproductive health and mental health go hand in hand, with the end of Roe worsening the campus mental health crisis. And, it cannot be ignored that unplanned pregnancy is the most common reason for dropping out of college.

‍

"The need for robust health services for college women+ that provide high quality clinical care has intensified and has never been more clear," said Caraway Chief Health Officer Dr. Cheryl Baggeroer.  "We've known for a long time that physical health affects mental health and vice versa, and that the best care addresses these needs simultaneously.  Now more than ever, we need healthcare solutions that uncover early diagnoses and set the course for lifelong healthcare habits and overall well being."

‍

How it Works:

‍
Caraway's integrated care combines mental, reproductive and physical health by using a team-based and holistic approach. Patients benefit from enhanced collaboration between their doctors who work closely together to drive better outcomes.  Caraway's care team of clinicians includes gynecologists, psychiatrists, family medical practitioners, adolescent specialists, therapists, nurses, and care coaches. Via its mobile application, Caraway will provide 24/7 access to virtual care for members, enabling them to:

‍

• Chat with a nurse practitioner for any type of healthcare concern
• Schedule a telemedicine appointment with a doctor or nurse practitioner
• Connect to in-person care by actively assisting students with care referrals, coordination and follow up
• Engage in self-guided care programs and therapy
• Access personalized content most relevant to college women+ and the healthcare interactions they are experiencing
• Access test kits at "home" for UTIs and STI diagnosis and treatment

‍

"Today's college women+ face far too many barriers in getting the care they need," said 7wireVentures Managing Partner Lee Shapiro. "As the first generation to grow up with the internet, they're turning to digital care services for an experience that provides convenience and autonomy over their health. Caraway's integrated care team does just that and meets them where they are."

‍

"Women experience health care differently to men in a vast array of ways," said OMERS Ventures Health-Tech Investor Chrissy Farr. "Unless women have the information, support, and confidence to manage their bodies – and start advocating for themselves in healthcare settings – poor outcomes will continue.  Caraway offers a healthcare experience that delivers care and education for the college women's+ market that is both underserved and underrepresented."

‍

"We are excited about Caraway's equitable approach to care," said Margaret Laws, president and CEO, Hopelab. "We are eager to support the Caraway team to ensure that BIPOC and LGBTQ+ students are thoughtfully included in their offering,"

‍

The Caraway Board members are: Lee Shapiro and Alyssa Jaffee, 7wireVentures, Michael Yang of OMERS Ventures and Lori Evans Bernstein, CEO & Co-founder, Caraway.  Notable angel investors in Caraway include: Trevor Price, Oxeon Investments, Elliot Cohen, Co-Founder of PillPack, Brian Regan, Deena Shakir, Partner at Lux Capital, Missy Krasner, Aike Ho, Partner at ACME, Doug Hirsch, CEO of GoodRx, Kate Ryder, CEO of Maven Clinic and prominent angel investor Leslie Schrock.

The modern-era consumer credit score system is broken, locking millions of potential homeowners out of the American dream. Ready Life, a new fintech backed by Figure Technologies Inc., is pioneering a revolutionary mortgage lending model that relies on good rental payment history to qualify buyers for home purchases.

‍

"We are rewriting the rules for homeownership," says Ready Life CEO Ashley D. Bell, a corporate finance attorney and a former White House Policy Advisor for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. "The current system isn't working, so Ready Life has created a way to help individuals get into a home of their own based on the factors that matter. We believe that a family with a documented history of paying their rent on time will pay their mortgage in the same fashion."

‍

When the Ready Life platform launches this Fall, consumers who pay their rent on time using the Ready Pay Visa® Debit Card will qualify for mortgages without a credit score review.

‍

Figure Technologies, Inc. serves as both an investor and Ready Life's technology partner. Figure is the leader in blockchain-based fintech infrastructure and has developed backend technology that will enable Ready Life customers to benefit from faster, less expensive transactions. Ready Life will leverage the Provenance Blockchain–which is the only public, decentralized blockchain used by U.S. Banks, with billions of dollars of digital financial assets transacted across lending, payments, and marketplaces.

‍

"Figure is proud to be an investor and partner for the tech infrastructure for Ready Life," says June Ou, Cofounder and COO of Figure Technologies, Inc. "Ready Life represents a forward thinking mission-based fintech solution that utilizes blockchain technology and payment solutions to support consumers and small business owners in building a viable pathway to create generational wealth."

‍

Ready Life Financial, Inc consists of a suite of financial products and services with three core pillars:

• Ready Pay - Visa® Debit Card
• Ready Mortgage - Mortgage lending with no credit score required
• Ready Merchant - Merchant Payment Services

‍

To lead its robust rollout of fintech products, Ready Life has tapped Steve Payne as Chief Technology Officer. Payne is no stranger to utilizing fintech as a tool to create opportunities for underrepresented communities and he has a wealth of successful tech experience that includes leading technology development at SoFi and serving as the CTO at MoCaFi.

‍

"I'm very honored to join the Ready Life team. I'm motivated by the mission and the opportunity to build innovative fintech products that help communities build generational wealth," Ready Life CTO Steve Payne shares. "Just as there are food deserts and medical deserts in many urban and rural areas, there are also financial deserts. Our technology, built on blockchain, helps keep resources within communities and most importantly– provides a new path to homeownership that uses one's current spending habits as key criteria for obtaining a mortgage."

‍

Dr. Bernice A. King, the daughter of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, serves as chair of the Ready Life advisory board and views its mission as an extension of her father's work to reduce poverty and inequality. "I believe that Ready Life can help rectify decades of discrimination in the area of homeownership by helping to remove unnecessary barriers," King states.

‍

Ready Life will officially launch in the Fall of 2022 and is currently conducting its Series A funding round, led by Figure Technologies, Inc.

To produce its signature crunch, Popadelics Crunchy Mushroom Chips leverage a unique cooking method called vacuum frying, which allows foods to cook at much lower temperatures while absorbing less oil and retaining more of their color, nutrients, texture, and flavor. Popadelics are also vegan, non-GMO, and a good source of protein and fiber.

‍

Popadelics made its trade debut at the Specialty Food Association Summer Fancy Food Show in June 2022, and was named one of the show's trendsetters by the SFA Trendsetter Panel. Popadelics was also a finalist in this year's NOSH Pitch Slam competition.

‍

"Popadelics aren't just a snack - they're an experience, making our snacks a natural fit at live events such as Electric Zoo," said Marilyn Yang, Co-Founder and CEO of Fun-Gal Snacks, the parent company of Popadelics. "We couldn't be more excited that our music festival debut will be in our brand's hometown of New York City, and it will be the first of many more live events to come."

‍

"We at Woodbridge want to liberate drinkers to 'Wine Your Way' – to enjoy wine whenever, wherever, and however you want," says Serena Shrivastava, Brand Vice President of Woodbridge.

The Amazon rainforest is beaming with sounds. Like musicians in a band, each animal plays a part, occupying its own "acoustic niche" in frequency and time. But repeated fires in the Amazon basin are silencing Mother Earth's symphony, according to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The recordings showed a significant difference in animal sounds between forests that had experienced multiple fires versus only one fire as deforestation continues to grow rapidly in the Amazon. This vital ecosystem is still burning.

‍

For one musician, this news is heartbreaking as the dissolute results become inevitable each day. Releasing her first acoustic song, 'Air to Fire,' back in 2020, Anjalts, a songwriter/ producer, redirected the spotlight to a place she once called home. Growing up in Guyana, South America, with her grandparents, where 80% of the country is a rainforest. The news of this essential ecosystem burning massive areas in Brazil & Suriname only to provide grasslands for the demand of livestock, mining, and logging raises so many questions as to why are some critical global eco-areas that sustain our planet not better protected in the nations where they are located?

‍
A global concern backed by science that shows how our planet regulates the air we breathe, the temperatures, and ocean life. It is all connected and affected by its caregivers. All of us.

‍

"Not every emerging artist wants to tackle these kinds of complex issues because it may not sell records enough," says Elle Asti, CEO / Founder of IXOmusic. Then you have a multi-rebellious artist like Anjalts and she inspires you to see a different perspective. And that's what she does with her new song 'A Tree Sings' that gets released on Aug 5 on all streaming platforms worldwide.

‍

Be the first to hear 'A Tree Sings' drops Aug 5 HERE

‍

The song highlights a different viewpoint as the last tree in the Amazon Rainforest sings a song as she watches her forest burn all around her. Deepens the message of finding better solutions to preserve important ecosystems around the planet.

On Thursday, Aug. 11 at 6 p.m. (Eastern), presenters from You & Five-O (YFO), Kinston Police Department, and Shaw University's Center for Racial and Social Justice (CRSJ) will host a virtual town hall webinar titled "Reality Check 5.0" to discuss community policing and to provide tips for safely surviving encounters with law enforcement. Everyone is welcome, and there is no cost to attend; however, registration is required at www.YouAndFive-O.com.

‍

Founded in 2015 by retired Deputy Police Chief Beverly "BJ" Council, You & Five-O provides customized training for police officers, community organizations, schools and individuals to assist with improving relationships between police and the public they are sworn to protect and serve. YFO was created in response to numerous high-profile cases highlighting deadly encounters between law enforcement and mostly Black and Brown – and often unarmed – individuals. Training sessions address the current lack of trust, communication gaps, problem-solving, Constitutional rights, and potentially devastating consequences of inadequate relationships between the public and the police.

‍

Council said: "Our goal is to save lives. This Reality Check 5.0 webinar is an opportunity for us to provide solutions to keep people safe. Cooperation and communication between the police and the public will take center stage in our efforts to increase safe encounters with law enforcement." Webinar topics will address the history of policing in the U.S., individual rights, police perceptions and misperceptions, police misconduct and accountability, and current cases in the media.

‍

Dr. Erin Moore, executive director for the Center for Racial and Social Justice, said: "The Center for Racial and Social Justice is excited to be a part of this important and timely conversation about creating a better relationship between police and the communities they serve. It is vital that our young people learn how to interact with law enforcement so that they can make it home safely."

‍

You & Five-O training programs pay homage to the merits of cooperation, compliance and communication with officers of the law. Leaders at community organizations and local police departments interested in presenting the signature You & Five-O Community Policing training model can email: training@youandfive-o.com for more information.
