Megadolls announced the launch of a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the startup costs for their new incarnation of a classic toy. Featuring dolls that are racially inclusive and body positive, with fun wardrobes and themes that are easily downloaded and printed, Megadolls is a growing collection that will fast become a favorite daily playtime activity with young children everywhere. The Kickstarter has a modest $20,000 goal with multiple funding rewards for donors at the $12, $20, $40, $50, $105, and $215 levels.
"Inclusivity and affordability were two major guiding principles for Megadolls," said MeGa Buitizon, Megadolls founder. "We wanted them to be easily available to children anywhere, so we're launching with a digital site first. Paper dolls were always one of the sweetest parts of my childhood, partly because I could change their outfits or hairstyles whenever I wanted to. That adds a sense of flexibility, imagination, and spontaneity to playtime, while letting children enact scenes from their favorite stories or create games to explore their imagination and creative instincts."
Megadolls: Folding Fun and Empowering Play
- Opening collections begin with Dolls from Around the World, and the "free download of outfits per day" Shero Collection which includes dolls of all different shades, blends, and body types including hyperpigmentation, hirsutism, and missing limbs which encourage acceptance at an early age. And boy-doll collections are currently in design.
- One subscription gives instant access to thousands of style combinations with tons of free downloads and content from the website. Simply select a doll and accessories, print them, cut them out, and have fun!
- Easily navigated collection with monthly subscription rewards and limited-edition downloads of new dolls and accessories; change up styles every month.
- Innovative tab-less template design allows dolls to be clothed in a simple fold-over-and-hang method, eliminating messy or difficult tabs. Each doll is fully clothed, front and back.
- Promote interpersonal relationship building and empathy with a beautiful, bright color palette that encourages different virtues.
"We want kids to highlight differences and celebrate diversity. Which is why the collection promotes variety through elaborate customization. And we also allow children to display inner strengths, like perseverance and courage, using a unique and specific color-coded styling. These are next-generation paper dolls that will help parents reduce excessive screen-time for their children, while fostering a much more creative playtime. Our collection offers more variety and customization than any other paper doll line. And because there are always new dolls and new combinations, Megadolls guarantees a unique game every single time."

Fast Growing Masq Hard Tea Expands to Texas with L&F Distributors, Favorite Brands
Masq Hard Tea, a leader in the wellness alcohol category, announced a partnership with L&F Distributors and Favorite Brands for its distribution rights in Texas. Masq is a health forward all-natural hard tea made with premium organic ingredients and is geared toward active lifestyle consumers.
L&F Distributors / Favorite Brands will distribute Masq Hard Tea for the entire state of TX. "We couldn't be more excited to partner with L&F and Favorite in Texas. The La Mantia family has an incredible reputation in the beverage industry. Their organization is top of the line," says Masq Co-Founder Brad Parkes. "We see a huge opportunity in Texas - it's a huge tea state and a big beer state. As a lifestyle brand, Masq fits perfectly with the climate, outdoor activities, and year-round sporting events," says Masq Co-Founder BeBe Parkes.
"We are excited for the opportunity to partner with Masq Hard Tea in the state of Texas. They make an exceptional product, that aligns with the core values of today's consumer. Drinkers today overwhelmingly support "better for you" products. As a beverage distributor you want to provide the best products available to help retailers, and on-premise partners succeed with the everyday consumer. Masq Hard Tea fits that description…to a tea," replied President of Favorite Brands, Greg LaMantia.
Masq is made with functional ingredients (Organic Yerba Mate, Blue Agave Syrup, Chamomile and Passion Flower) and built for the health forward consumer. Masq is 4% ABV, 90 calories, vegan, gluten free, lightly carbonated and comes in Blueberry Lavender, Lemon Ginger, Dragon Fruit Acai and Grapefruit Rosemary. "Masq is the perfect mix of refreshment and full flavor. Most seltzers just don't have enough flavor. The ingredients are what really sets Masq apart from anything else on the shelf – we haven't found any alcohol with as many real ingredients that is so drinkable," says BeBe.
Masq is currently available in over 1800 stores and restaurants in 14 states. "We've tried to create a subsegment in alcohol – health forward or wellness alcohol - and it is really resonating with consumers, who are trying to be healthier in every other aspect of their lives, why not a better alcohol choice?" BeBe added, "Our goal is to continue to develop consumer awareness – Masq is so different than anything on the shelves. We've continued to show that when people sample the product they rebuy, it's creating the continual awareness that is so important."
"When Masq was created, we wanted a better way to drink. There are so many 'less bad' items on the shelf – 0 carbs, no sugar, etc. but most of it is flavored water, alcohol and artificial sweeteners. We wanted something that actually uses real, beneficial ingredients," says Brad.
Masq Hard Tea is available in single flavor 4 packs in retail stores, bars and restaurants.

Peninsulas to Open New Michigan-Themed Store in Berkley
Peninsulas, a locally-owned shop and design firm celebrating all things Michigan, is expanding and deepening its roots in the state.
"Six years ago the people of Berkley welcomed us with open arms and have been unbelievably loyal and supportive ever since," says Peninsula's co-owner Robert Jameson. "We can't think of a better place to put down permanent roots and continue to celebrate all things Michigan from our curated collection."
Jameson and his wife, Sherri Lawton Jameson, have purchased a building a few doors west of their current shop where Peninsulas has been a fixture since 2016. The new store at 3171 Twelve Mile Road will open June 28 after extensive renovations. The new store will have an "Up North" look and feel with its original, but repainted, tile ceiling, vintage French doors, a hundred year old antique store counter and the Peninsulas shield on a brand new façade.
Peninsulas' unique collection includes high quality home goods, apparel, accessories and gifts inspired by Michigan lakes and land. Most of the items are custom-designed by Lawton Jameson and many are Michigan made. Lawton Jameson also creates proprietary Michigan-themed designs for a variety of Michigan businesses.
From May through October, the Jamesons operate a Peninsulas location at the top of the "Tunnel of Trees" in Cross Village, plus they do a brisk business in online sales at ShopPeninsulas.com and offer Peninsula-made goods through wholesale partnerships at 75 locations around the state. The company is one of only two vendors state-wide licensed to design and offer official Michigan State Parks, Trails and Waterways merchandise. Ten percent of all sales directly support Michigan DNR programs.
"After leasing our former location, we decided to put down even more permanent roots in Berkley, with easy access for all our customers in the region," said Jameson. "This exciting development was only possible because of our amazing team of employees, friends, family and the customers who believe in and supported our vision."
Robert and Sherri Jameson are lifelong Michiganders who created Peninsulas in 2011. When they get time off, the Jamesons tour the state in their Airstream trailer, explore Michigan Parks, dig for one-of-a-kind vintage pieces and generally find inspiration for their business everywhere they look.

Scream For Ice Cream! Cosmic Bliss Issues A Scream-Worthy Challenge To America
Cosmic Bliss, the makers of premium, organic, plant-based and 100% grass-fed dairy frozen desserts, is excited to launch a blissfully fun challenge that benefits the planet — asking America to scream for ice cream! As a brand on a mission to flip the food system to a more organic and regenerative supply chain, Cosmic Bliss is rewarding consumers' "ice-screams" with free ice cream and donations to nonprofits supporting the research and progression of organic and regenerative farming practices.
According to a recent report, consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impacts of food, which is encouraging, and Cosmic Bliss believes we can all do more by using real foods, from farms and from nature without relying on heavily processed, synthetic biology and "techno-food." To kick off the challenge, Cosmic Bliss took to the streets of one of the greenest cities in the U.S. — San Francisco — to surprise local residents with a fun, interactive scream experience as featured in a newly released video.
Throughout July, the purpose-driven brand is calling on consumers nationwide to join the challenge by sharing a joyous video of themselves "screaming for ice cream" and for a better planet on social media while tagging the brand (@findcosmicbliss) and using the hashtag #icecreamforabetterplanet. Every video posted with #icecreamforabetterplanet contributes toward a $50,000 donation goal to the Rodale Institute and Regenerative Organic Alliance in partnership with 1% of the Planet. In addition, one lucky fan will take home the grand prize of a year's worth of free ice cream from Cosmic Bliss (terms and conditions apply)!
"At our core, Cosmic Bliss has always been deeply committed to supporting farming systems that are healthier for humans, animals, and the planet. We believe how you source your ingredients matter. How you contribute to the regeneration of our food system matters," said Shilpa Gadhok, VP of Brand Marketing at Cosmic Bliss. "We're excited for everyone to show how much they care, have some fun, help "scream" for the attention that regenerative agriculture and organic farming deserves, while still enjoying a spoonful of bliss from the planet we all care so much about."
Regenerative agriculture is a core tenant in the brand's efforts to flip the food system. Cosmic Bliss believes that food consumption shouldn't be filled with compromises on taste, one's health or impact on the environment. All products are certified organic, gluten-free, non-gmo project verified, contain no soy, sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners. It's why Cosmic Bliss ensures they make the most delicious, indulgent frozen desserts with the highest quality ingredients in a manner that helps to regenerate the planet for future generations.
In order to drive meaningful progression in this space, Cosmic Bliss is committed to donating a minimum of one percent of their annual revenue to environmental nonprofits that further the mission, research, and education of organic and regenerative agriculture. To do so, they work with 1% for the Planet to certify donations and pair with like-minded non-profits. The company has also taken on the initiative to improve the sustainability of its packaging, as the first brand to use a plant-based biopolymer in its pint packaging since 2019, and the brand uses recycled and renewable materials across their novelty packaging. Cosmic Bliss is a member of the Sustainable Food Trade Association (SFTA), Organic Trade Association, and the Oregon Organic Coalition.

Watch out Romeo, you'll fall in love fast with these diced organic medjool dates panned in high-quality chocolate with a fresh twist on a traditional snack. Jooliettes Dark Chocolate Date Nibbles are the latest innovation in the dried fruit category, making dates more fun and approachable. Coming in three varieties including Blood Orange Dark Chocolate, Sea Salt Dark Chocolate, and Matcha Dark Chocolate offering two different retail sizes; 2oz pillow pouch and a 4oz resealable stand-up pouch.
Chocolate and medjool dates are a widely loved combination and Jooliettes date nibbles are the perfect bite-sized indulgence to satisfy your sweet tooth. The date nibbles are also Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan, and Kosher. With three different flavors, there is one for everyone! Sea Salt Dark Chocolate is for the chocolate lover, who likes to keep it simple with sea salt, dark chocolate, and Joolies dates. Matcha Dark Chocolate bring a subtle kick of Matcha balanced with delicious dark chocolate and Joolies in every bite. Blood Orange Dark Chocolate brings a refreshing citrus profile to the date center and chocolate to deliver a robust, worldly combo. They can be a convenient on-the-go snack, mid-day treat or topper to yogurt, oatmeal or ice-cream.
Jooliettes do not use confectioners glaze or shellac, a common coating on candy, because it is derived from insect secretions and is not Vegan. It is important that Joolies is natural and therefore they have brought this across the product line to Jooliettes. Both Jooliettes sizes are made with sustainable material consisting of up 21-28% post-consumer recycled material.
Joolies co-founder, David Kohl, has farmed organic medjool dates for nearly two decades in the Coachella Valley. For maximum quality, each date is hand-picked and packaged at peak ripeness and never dried or rehydrated. Because of Joolies dedication to organic living and sustainability, no harmful pesticides, herbicides or fungicides are used during the growing process. Over the last three years, Joolies has grown its portfolio of medjool date products, including whole dates, pit free dates and date syrups, into 4,000 retail locations across the US and international markets.
"We are super excited to be launching Jooliettes! Our goal is to create products that we love and crave with the idea that our consumers will love them too; and who doesn't love the idea of a date nibble coated in dark chocolate!" says, CEO Mark Masten. "We've sampled the product at several tradeshows over the last few months and have been loved by both consumers and trade members alike. The Blood Orange seems to be a fan favorite so far."
Jooliettes 2oz bags are available now at Albertsons Southern California division stores, including Vons and Pavillions and Jooliettes 4oz bag will be available nationwide starting in September through Thrive Market. Joolies will be exhibiting at booth 4177 at Natural Products Expo East, where attendees will be able to sample all of the Jooliettes flavors, existing products and date innovation.

A Tale of Giants and Insectophile Humans
While Martin Pierce's fascination with nature may not be news worthy the inventive story line and fantastical bronze sculptures it supports, most certainly is. The new collection represents a departure from the stricter realism of his hardware and furniture designs. Realism is still focal to his new wasp, cricket, and beetle sculptures for as Pierce puts it "these creatures are inherently beautiful so nothing is to be gained by distorting or obscuring their form." Faced with a world "where insects lack the social and environmental importance they deserve and where humans dominate the planet with demands that are contrary to the wellbeing of other species," Pierce and his wife, Anne, decided to create an alternative narrative. In this fictional world through sculpture and paintings Pierce reverses the relative size of humans to insects making the former diminutive and the latter giants. The fictional scale gives rise to a new relationship and the adversarial human is reinvented as an insect loving humanoid. While the dynamic between these 2 species is evolving, it is based an agrarian lifestyle where both farm together and jointly partake in the fruits of their labors.
The sculptures are being released carefully to ensure that each creature's physical characteristics and abilities are accurately depicted in the story line. The dung beetle is the most recent piece and is first being released as a free-standing giant in a bronze edition of 30 pieces. As Anne Pierce explains "there will be other dung beetles in the collection that will show these remarkable creatures competing with others in an annual race or as parents rolling the brood ball backwards with portals into the baby dung beetle chambers." Currently Anne and Martin are designing the dung ball that they visualize as textural and possibly with educational tiles.
To create the pattern for the first dung beetle, Martin studied the blue horned rhinoceros beetle under a magnifying glass "to get a better understanding of how this ½" long beetle extends and bends it's segmented legs, retracts and conceals it's antenna and how it's body parts can be expressively positioned. I felt that I had to understand the anatomical and mechanical function of this beautiful creature if I was to portray it as an athlete, parent and master of rolling dung balls." As Anne Pierce puts it "you can only think like a fictional dung beetle once you have seen his real-life cousin."

Kaiyo, a full-service marketplace for gently-used furniture committed to great design, exceptional customer care, and a more sustainable planet, today announced its West Coast debut. With this expansion, Kaiyo will offer those in the greater Los Angeles area the ability to quickly and easily buy and sell high-quality, pre-owned pieces from coveted brands. Expanding to the West Coast is the next phase in Kaiyo's mission of making great furniture accessible to everyone and sustainable for the planet and comes on the heels of success throughout the Northeast, including in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.
"Furniture is one of the largest waste categories in the U.S., meaning millions of pounds of furniture ends up in landfills each year. As a company rooted in sustainability, we believe that's unacceptable, which is why this expansion means so much to us. Since launching, we have successfully kept more than three million pounds of furniture out of landfills, and with our West Coast launch, we look forward to accelerating that number," said Alpay Koralturk, Founder and CEO of Kaiyo. "Put simply, Kaiyo takes the hassle and headache out of making a sustainable choice, and we are proud to continue our rapid expansion across the country."
Kaiyo's West Coast expansion will include service to Los Angeles and surrounding areas such as Beverly Hills, Venice, Santa Monica, and more. Starting today, buyers can save up to 90% on pieces from trusted names such as Restoration Hardware, Design Within Reach, West Elm, Room & Board, CB2, and more. Kaiyo offers white-glove delivery starting at just $19, with pieces arriving in just a couple of weeks. Kaiyo will also allow buyers to pick up online orders from its new 78,418 square-foot warehouse in Chino, California. Sellers will get a fast, free pickup, plus Kaiyo will professionally clean, photograph, and securely store items in addition to handling delivery to buyers — all at no cost. Kaiyo also provides sellers with an Instant Offer immediately after their pickup appointment, a first-of-its-kind feature that allows them to cash out without waiting for their item to sell.
Most recently, Kaiyo raised $36 million in Series B bringing Kaiyo's funding to nearly $50M, and has plans for continued geographic expansion. By growing to new markets and making it fast and convenient to buy or sell furniture, Kaiyo hopes to encourage greater participation in the circular economy.

'Spicy' Entrepreneur Chanel Murphy-Lowe Launches One of Oprah's Favorite Things at Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, and Saks Off Fifth
Inspired culinary artist Chanel Murphy-Lowe, founder and CEO of My Fabulous Food, is taking the retail industry by storm. The fashion forward foodie's ultra-luxe sea salt gift sets made their debut on shelves at Bergdorf Goodman in the exclusive Midtown Manhattan district and are launching online at Nordstrom and Saks Off Fifth in August of this year.
These upscale retailers known for stocking exclusive merchandise for the most discerning tastes have opened their doors to Chanel's wares. Nordstrom, a century-old retailer with a nose for what's trending, was the first to sign the progressive Fifteen Percent Pledge to help Black businesses thrive. Chanel is proud to say her African American, female-owned luxury brand is represented at these prestigious venues.
Chanel is reimagining the rich spice market through My Fabulous Food. According to Mrs. Murphy-Lowe, "I have merged fashion with food – literally. My mission is to create products that are healthy for you and are beautiful enough to display in your kitchen." The 5'8" fashionista merges her eye for high style with cuisine, bringing haute couture into the kitchen. My Fabulous Food's products make the perfect gift for special occasions and holidays. Those who appreciate and enjoy the finer things will be impressed with their flavor and luxurious packaging. Home chefs and food aficionados will be especially drawn to these lavish products for their own kitchen.
Chanel's gourmet gambles are taking her places where even the "Queen of All Media" noticed her blends. Chanel launched the My Fabulous Food seasoning line in 2018, and in just two years, her Luxury Black Lava and Alaea Sea Salt gift set was named one of Oprah's Favorite Things. To quote Oprah in her December 2020 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, "The red grains in alaea salt get their color from baked clay and make a fine finish for any dish, while the dark grains in black lava salt come from volcanic charcoal, whose smokiness complements grilled steak. This duo is literally the salt of the earth.''
