Female-Founded Sierra Sage Herbs Announces Private-Label Agreement with Health-E Commerce to Produce Company's Inaugural Plant-Based First-Aid Collection

Leading all-natural body care company, Sierra Sage Herbs, makers of Green Goo®, Good Goo®, and Southern Butter® brands, announced today that it has secured a non-exclusive, private-label agreement with Health E-Commerce, parent brand to FSA Store, HSA Store, Well Deserved Health, and Caring Mill™ to produce its inaugural plant-based first-aid collection. As per the terms of the agreement, Sierra Sage Herbs will oversee and manage product development, supply chain, and production, while Health-E Commerce will make the collection available to the millions of consumers who are enrolled in tax-advantage health accounts.

The initial product offerings, which will be available in 1.82 oz. recyclable travel tins, include Burn Repair, First Aid, Pain Relief, Poison Ivy, and Tattoo Aftercare salves. The full, plant-based collection, which is also cruelty-free, will be offered as part of the Caring Mill product line. Health-E Commerce donates a portion of the proceeds from every Caring Mill purchase to Children's Health Fund.

More than 70 million Americans are enrolled in flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs), which allow them to set aside pre-tax income to pay for qualified healthcare expenses, including products for everyday health and wellbeing. Health-E Commerce is the only family of online marketplaces that caters to this audience with exclusively eligible products, the industry's most comprehensive eligibility list, and educational tools and content.

"We're so proud to partner with the incredible team at Health-E Commerce to bring our plant-based first-aid collection to their customers," said Sierra Sage Herbs CEO and co-founder Jodi Scott. "As the leading online marketplace for FSA- and HSA-eligible products, Health-E Commerce is such an invaluable resource for individuals and families, and we couldn't be more excited to offer our all-natural first-aid solutions on their sites."

"Not only are FSA and HSA users invested in their health and wellbeing, but they have demonstrated a preference for all-natural products and for using their tax-free health funds to buy portable health products like first-aid treatments," said Susan Elliott-Bocassi, senior vice president of operations, Health-E Commerce. "We're excited to partner with a female-led company like Sierra Sage Herbs to bring consumers the best of both product categories with their all natural first-aid line."

The FSA Store plant-based first-aid collection is scheduled to launch in November 2022.

NEW BRAND ALERT: Greater Goods Joins the U.S. Snack Market with Better-for-You Cookies, Crackers and Biscotti

The Greater Goods Snacking Co., a wholesome, clean-label, mission-driven snack brand, announced today its entrance into the U.S. market. Known and produced as She Made Foods in India, the company was created when founder, Sujatha Duvvuri, struggled to find clean label foods to feed her family.

Greater Goods will be launching with three product lines - crackers, cookies and biscotti - all boasting the company's almond flour-based, grain-free and vegan ingredients. Upon launch, Greater Goods is the only U.S. brand that offers certified organic almond-flour based products and will offer the world's first commercially available grain-free biscotti.

The cracker varieties launching include Tangy Tomato & Basil, Caramelized Onion and Sea Salt flavors, while the cookie product line consists of Cinnamon Snickerdoodle, Chocolate Chip and Chai Spice flavors. Greater Goods' crackers and cookies will retail at $4.99, varying by location. The brand will also be launching biscotti in the following flavors: Orange Cranberry, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt and Double Dark Chocolate Pistachio and will retail for $5.49, depending on location.

All Greater Goods products are organic, grain-free, paleo-friendly, gluten-free, plant-based, vegan and free from several top allergens.

"Upon graduating from the University of Michigan, I was pregnant and shopping the grocery store aisles of Ann Arbor when I realized there were no clean label, nutritious products available to feed my son," said Duvvuri, co-founder and chief product officer. "I started making my own snacks and once I moved back to India, I went into business to provide products that moms can trust. Launching our products in the U.S. as Greater Goods has always been our goal because, after all, the idea for our entire brand was formed in Ann Arbor."

True to the brand name, Greater Goods is committed to doing the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people – starting with the women in our bakery. Greater Goods is committed to ensuring that 72% of its workforce are women in India, a country where the female labor participation rate is only 19%.

"We are thrilled to share our delicious, nourishing snacks with the U.S. market and hope that with every purchase, consumers will know they, too, are contributing to the greater good," said Anirudh Duvvuri, chief operating officer. "Investing in our workforce is the differentiator between merely selling a product and standing for something greater."

Greater Goods snacks are now available at www.eatgreatergoods.com and will be available on Amazon and in select retailers soon. To keep up with the brand, follow them on Instagram @eatgreatergoods_us or visit www.eatgreatergoods.com.

The Koa Club Helps Women in Tech Take Bold Strides to Land and Thrive in Leadership Roles

Recent studies show that the tech industry has made steady progress to elevate more women to leadership roles. According to an April 2022 Deloitte Insights article, "women in tech leadership are making the fastest advances" in narrowing the gender gap.

There are many advantages to putting women in leadership roles: they bring fresh new ideas, different perspectives and unique approaches to problem solving. On top of that, a larger share of female leaders improves workplace diversity and strengthens collaboration in and between teams.

"Helping women succeed is helping our society and economy succeed. The benefits of increasing the share of female leaders are well documented; it's high time for corporations to walk their talk and for women to focus on overcoming the particular challenges that hold them back," said Micha Goebig, a confidence coach who specializes in supporting women in male-dominated industries.

Some challenges commonly faced by women working in male-dominated industries are self-doubt, the dreaded imposter syndrome, fear of not being taken seriously, lack of appropriate role models, and greater stress and anxiety. The Koa Club has now launched a six-month leadership training program, based on monthly two-hour workshops, specifically for women in tech to boldly take on, and learn effective strategies to manage, these issues. The participants are also assigned to Mentorship Huddles™, facilitated by a peer mentor, where they can collaborate closely in a small group setting with other participants from the tech industry, to share insights, best practices and helpful encouragement throughout the length of the program.

"In addition to organizations finding more ways to elevate and support female talent, it is key to help their women overcome issues that hold them back, so that they can succeed in attaining leadership roles and thrive once they get there," said Susan Seah, CEO and founder of The Koa Club.

The Women in Tech Leadership Program kicks off on September 14, 2022, with a roundtable discussion featuring powerhouse women IT leaders, including Lisa Cohen, Head of Data Science at Twitter; Cyra Richardson, Chief Product Officer at Attabotics; and Lisa Hillman, Deputy Chief Information Officer, Snohomish County, State of Washington.

The Balanced Life Unveils New Brand Identity, Rooted in Core Values

Today The Balanced Life, founded in 2009 by Robin Long, announced the relaunch of its brand as Lindywell. Centered around a "Grace over Guilt" approach, Lindywell provides programs, tools and coaching to help a global community of millions of women in over 169 countries shift their approach to mental and physical health. Through intentional and effective Pilates workouts and self-care resources, Lindywell helps its community members overcome negative habitual thinking, while revitalizing their overall strength and health.

The inspiration for Lindywell, Pilates and Balanced Living with Robin Long, comes directly from three women Robin regards as strong, powerful and resilient: her mom, Linda, her aunt, Judy, and her grandmother, Lindy — which are characteristics Lindywell strives to cultivate in its community. Lindywell was born from Robin's complicated relationship with exercise and body image as a competitive dancer and athlete due to the rigidity, the unhealthy messaging and the decision fatigue that accompanied it. Instead, Lindywell embodies balance and fulfillment, intentionally designed to help to redefine the way women approach fitness, nourishment and health by cueing the brain to create new pathways and disrupt dysfunctional habits.

"With the power of Pilates at our core, we embrace positivity, authenticity and small changes that lead to real results. We don't buy the lie that we have to do more and eat less to live a healthy life," said Robin Long, founder, CEO and lead instructor of Lindywell. "For our community, this isn't a fad or something new, for more than 12 years we have been redefining the idea of progress. And, we're just getting started … there's much to do."

Lindywell blends intuitive Pilates instruction with realistic healthy eating that will help women build consistency for balanced living, founded on three core values: accessible Pilates, attainable nourishment, and a thriving mindset. "Grace over guilt" encourages consistency, enjoyable experiences and sustainable results to help every woman live life to the fullest.

Coinciding with the rebrand, Lindywell relaunches its on-demand fitness and wellness app, available for iOS and Android devices. At the time of launch, the community-driven Lindywell program provides access to 250+ on-demand Pilates workout videos that can be accessed via phone, tablet, computer or cast to a television, plus exclusive monthly workout calendars and curated recipes by Lindywell registered dietitians — all rooted in a community of positivity and support. Plans range from monthly ($27), six-month ($24/month) or twelve-month ($19/month) options.

The Lindywell rebrand can be experienced through its website, fitness app, podcast, newsletter, social media channels (@wearelindywell) and merchandise. Visit www.lindywell.com to start a free 14-day trial and discover balanced living through Pilates, nourishment and mindset together.

Jelenew's New Product Line has Set Off a New Wave in Cycling Industry

Earlier, a new product line was launched by the American female avant-garde cycling brand Jelenew. Its products include the Racing Collection, based on long-lasting endurance riding, and the Comfort Collection, which retains the functionality and practicality of sportswear, combined with haute couture aesthetics, to bring cyclists to various scenarios anytime, anywhere. The brand's initial drive was to apply cycling-friendly, versatile materials and haute couture aesthetics to people's daily lives so that people could use its products both in the city and outdoors. And take this to bring sports and outdoor culture into the lives of urbanites and make more women love cycling. Once the product under this brand-new concept was launched, a whirlwind was set off by netizens on social platforms. In addition to traditional cycling distance mobilizers, many fashion KOLs, models, and artists have put on Jelenew and posted their sustainable and healthy cycling ideas on social media, igniting new fashion trends and fashion frenzy.

This phenomenon is rare in cycling brands that only emphasize sports functions in the past. Driven by social factors such as the epidemic, soaring oil prices, and "slow travel" traffic road planning and policies in various places, the cycling culture has prevailed, and cycling has changed from a competitive sport to a new way of life and culture. But most cycling jerseys on the market are all about performance and conservative style. The best jersey and shorts are about function, but only a few cyclists will wear them. Modern people live on the go and are constantly asked to make compromises, which means every kind of restriction. They want to live a life where they don't need to change clothes because of scenes and situations. And Jelenew's Comfort Cycling Collection is designed to deal with this situation. This series retains the functionality and practicability of sportswear, combined with high-definition and simple aesthetics, to bring cycling enthusiasts clothes that can cope with work, sports, and exercise scenes anytime, anywhere.

Jelenew fuses haute couture design and functionality, preserving the materials and functionality of cycling gear, delivering a durable, haute couture aesthetic based on long-lasting endurance riding. Jelenew's features a range of elusive colors and takes on a minimalist perspective in its aesthetics. The four-way-stretch fabric consists of micro-perforation yarns, increasing airflow and comfort during hot weather. Jelenew also embeds the concept of environmental protection into the brand DNA, using natural, additive-free sunscreen and extremely quick-drying fabrics to provide consumers with a healthy and comfortable riding experience. The reference to haute couture makes Jelenew's cycling clothing better fit and more wrapping, and the original three-point V-shaped structure riding saddle provides a healthy and comfortable riding experience. Jelenew said that the brand product co-creators with diverse backgrounds worldwide participate in the product design process, and all products would be repeatedly tested and modified before they are introduced to the market. They believe that cycling, like art, is a way of self-expression. Some industry insiders said that the return of leisure sports style and the cross-border style integration of Jelenew sportswear and luxury fashion is also one of the reasons for attracting young consumer groups.

Di Liu, Jelenew's creative director, said: "We have an incredibly diverse consumer base, and brands appeal to different people for different reasons, but one thing in common is that we all love cycling. The life symbol that gives value is integrated into the cyclist's life. No one can resist a healthy body and a free and full soul. Jelenew is more like a carrier, a carrier of self-discovery and self-expression, through which you'll see how people can personalize themselves according to their needs."

Little Liberia Wins $100,000 Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest Powered by TechTown

Little Liberia has been crowned the winner of the 2022 Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest, taking home the $100,000 grand prize from Comerica Bank to open the brick-and-mortar business of their dreams in Detroit.

As the winner of the 10th annual Hatch Off, Little Liberia will receive $100,000 from Comerica Bank and a package of pro bono support and counsel from Hatch Detroit powered by its partners to bolster its opportunity for success. The annual contest supports brick-and-mortar business growth in Detroit, Highland Park and Hamtramck.

Little Liberia is an Afro fusion pop-up restaurant looking to find a permanent space to introduce Liberia's rich multicultural cuisines to the people of Metro Detroit. They serve authentic Liberian dishes, a cuisine whose heritage is a mixture of African, Caribbean, and Antebellum-South African American influences and would serve as the first ever Liberian restaurant in Michigan.

Owner and founder of Little Liberia, Ameneh Marhaba, decided to open a business back in 2016 when she started hosting pop-up dinners as a means to pay bills. She continued to pursue her business and love of cooking and hopes to open a storefront in Midtown, Greek Town or Corktown. Marhaba draws business inspiration from Hatch Detroit alumnus, Mamba Hamasi after his success in the Detroit small business community with Baobab Fare.

"We are eager to support and spotlight Little Liberia as the newest addition to the city's growing small business environment," said Vittoria Katanski, executive director, Hatch Detroit. "After 10 years of the Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest, it is so evident how strong and deep the entrepreneurial spirit in Detroit runs, and Little Liberia is a prime example of tenacity and hard work paying off. As an organization, Hatch Detroit continues to support its alumni and winners even after the competition, and we look forward to seeing where this victory takes Little Liberia."

Little Liberia was announced as the winner in front of a live audience at the contest's Hatch Off event that took place Thursday, July 21 at the Wayne State University Industry Innovation Center in Detroit. The event functions similarly to a 'Shark Tank' style pitching competition where the top five businesses had the opportunity to present their business pitch to a panel of judges as well as a live audience. Public voting, along with the judges' deliberation, determined that Little Liberia was the winner.

"Comerica Bank congratulates Little Liberia as they join the previous nine winners and the special network of Hatch alumni after a momentous and well-deserved victory," said Mike Ritchie, Comerica Bank Michigan Market President. "After a decade of Hatch Detroit competitions, we are still continually amazed and in awe of the innovators and talent this contest inspires. It's truly what makes this such a rewarding partnership with Hatch Detroit and TechTown, and we're overjoyed to support Little Liberia and the other finalists as they work tirelessly to open their doors and join Detroit's vibrant small business community."

Ten semi-finalists in the Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest were announced to the public for voting in early June. After tens of thousands of votes were cast, the five finalists, COLFETARIE, Detroit Farm and Cider, Gajiza Dumplins, Lily's & Elise and Little Liberia were selected by and introduced to the public. A second round of public voting took place and each finalist pitched their business idea live to a panel of judges and an audience of their peers during the Hatch Off event.

"The overwhelming support and continued success of Hatch alumni is a testament to the sense of community and drive for innovation in Detroit. We're confident we will see great things from Little Liberia and the other four finalists," said Ned Staebler, president and CEO of TechTown. "We are so fortunate to be in a city like Detroit where the community rallies around self-starters and rewards ingenuity, and we are thrilled with the results from TechTown's first year leading Hatch Detroit."

Little Liberia joins previous Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest winners La Feria (2012), Sister Pie (2014), Live Cycle Delight (2015), Meta Physica Massage (2016), Baobab Fare (2017) and 27th Letter Books (2019). Together, Hatch Detroit alumni have opened 49 businesses, employ more than 500 people and have invested more than $7 million in their businesses.

Our Kids Read Partners with The New York Public Library to Donate 125,000 Books to NYC Youth

Our Kids Read, a newly established foundation that donates diverse books to children, and The New York Public Library (NYPL) announce a new joint venture to donate more than 125,000 books to diverse groups of New York City public school students in grades K-12. A child's enjoyment of reading is the single biggest predictor of their future academic success, besting reading ability and external factors like socioeconomic status.

This historic book giveaway is part of a larger initiative by the Library to donate 500,000 books to city residents, which is the centerpiece of its "Summer at the Library" program designed to engage young people throughout the summer break and help families build home libraries of their own.

Our Kids Read (OKR) has partnered with the NYPL to expand the reach of the giveaway program with plans to donate books to children at community events, public parks and community centers. The first three OKR – NYPL book giveaway events will be held the week of July 17 in Harlem at the DREAM Charter School, the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club and Thomas Jefferson Park. Three thousand (3,000) books are expected to be distributed during these events. In addition to the giveaway, each event also will feature storytellers, authors, performers, artists and other entertainers to stimulate the attendees' excitement about books and reading.

OKR is also teaming up with hip hop pioneer, Easy A.D. of the Legendary Cold Crush Brothers, to galvanize support for the program from across the city's hip hop community. As a youth from the South Bronx, Easy A.D. was in the vanguard of the origins of hip hop culture. Easy A.D. continues to perform around the country, and conducts health literacy activities at elementary schools throughout the city.

Our Kids Read has begun to schedule additional book giveaways and celebrations for the 2022-2023 school year, beginning with a free book festival at PS 140 in the Bronx in September and an additional 40-50 giveaways over the course of the school year.

Men's Underwear Expert Separatec Introduces New Summer Offering Featuring Dual Pouch™ and Quick-Dry Performance

Separatec, a tech-driven men's underwear expert, has introduced its summer collection of sports underwear that features superior quick-dry fabrics, as well as its proprietary Dual Pouch™ technology that offers great separation and support. Built for all-day comfort and enabling the wearer to feel constantly fresh while being active, the product is integrated with a new design that allows for enhanced breathability and stretchability, combined with a selection of new colorways and prints that meet the diverse needs of customers.

"Separatec has raised the bar for underwear innovation by developing the patented Dual Pouch™ tech that gives men's underwear extra space with cooling benefits that keep men's private area dry and hygienic around-the-clock. But our efforts don't stop here, and for this summer, we introduce to our customers the latest offering that features soft and highly stretchable, moisture-wicking material, coupled with our signature technology that allows the wearer to power through high-energy athletic activities with ultimate comfort," said Jimmy Xu, Design Director of Separatec.

Constructed with stretchy polyamide and spandex, the collection is designed to prioritize quality and comfort, delivering unparalleled sweat-wicking and fast-drying performance, making it an ideal choice for long days of physical exertion, whether it is at work or play. With its feather-lightness and durability, the super soft material prevents chafing and discomfort, with outstanding temperature-regulating and humidity-absorbing functionality that ensures the intermate part can enjoy the day-and-night freshness.

A game-changing feature engineered to perfectly fit men's anatomy, the unique dual-pouch design provides maximum freedom of movement and adequate ventilation for the body's most sensitive area. The roomy space offered by the two-pouch structure keeps everything in place and allows for a cool and refreshing environment, delivering great separation that effectively reduces skin-on-skin heat build-up and eliminates friction and chafing during workouts and physical activities. Designed with fashion in mind, the collection also comes in a wide variety of stylish patterns with contrasting colors that add spice to your sunny season.

Since its inception in 2015, Separatec is driven by its vision of creating some of the best underwear with ergonomic features that reshape the role and function of men's basic layers. The first product that comes with the Dual Pouch™ design was a huge commercial success and quickly became a favorite of customers around the globe. The brand builds on its previous milestones to craft a series of premium products integrated with luxurious fabrics and innovative technologies that match the ever-evolving lifestyle of its users.

With the anti-bromic tech that enables silver ions to stick to the surface of the fabric surfaces and improve the antibacterial ability of the wear, Separatec's summer collection also creates an effective layer of protection while keeping the wear clean and dry throughout the day.

"We are committed to improving men's health and well-being with our products, and we believe the only way to achieve this goal is through first-class craftsmanship and a rigorous choice of material. So we often go the extra mile for the improvement of our product development, from fabric selecting, to designing and manufacturing, before they are delivered to the hands of our customers," said Victor Yan, CEO of Separatec.

Lotus Nutrients Wins Best Cannabis Nutrients Award From High Times

The cannabis culture magazine, High Times, named Lotus Nutrients Bloom formula "Best Flavor Enhancer" in the "Best Of" issue, putting it in their elite class of best cannabis nutrients. For decades, High Times has produced the Best of/Gear of the Year Awards for best-in-class companies offering products or services related to every major category of the industry from cultivation equipment and supplies, to consumption devices and other paraphernalia.

After developing Gorilla Grow Tent (7x Winner Gear of the Year Award), and Kind LED Grow Lights (4x Winner Gear of the Year Award), Grow Strong Industries set out to innovate the cannabis nutrient industry. Lotus Nutrients was designed to simplify the complicated professional cannabis nutrients regimens that pervade the industry. Lotus Nutrients manufactures and sells a 3-part cannabis plant nutrient formula that replaces other 9- to 12-part nutrient systems.

Nicholas Schweitzer, cannabis grower and co-founder/COO of Lotus Nutrients/Grow Strong Industries, said of the product, "I'm thrilled we were recognized for innovating the best cannabis nutrients. Bloom is the culmination of our years of research, development, and testing to develop the perfect flower feeding regimen. By incorporating only quality, naturally derived source ingredients and providing plants with everything they need to optimize their flower cycle, Lotus Bloom amplifies the development of trichomes and resins, creating heavy and potent final harvests with tremendous flavor profiles."

CEO and co-founder, Rory Kagan, says of the award, "High Times is a cornerstone of 420 culture. Lotus Nutrients was innovated with purpose in mind, as are all our brands. We were compelled to fight back against the comically complex and unnecessarily expensive nutrient programs that have long overrun the industry. When we brought Lotus to market, we knew we had developed the best cannabis nutrients, but it is quite an honor to have our beloved nutrient program recognized by such a long-standing and prominent industry organization."

Lotus is a premium, powdered nutrient blend developed as an answer to growers' top complaints about plant nutrients, which are that they tend to be difficult to use, expensive, and messy. The California-based company also offers lifetime grow support to their customers to ensure successful use of their products.

In just a few years Lotus has generated a loyal, brand-dedicated customer base evidenced by the number of reviews and high ranking on Trustpilot, as well as the activity their brand garners on social media mostly found under #LotusNutrients. Company Produced Video Clip featuring reviews on Trustpilot (https://youtu.be/zY-6v0m5JyM)

About the Company: Lotus Nutrients is owned and managed by Grow Strong Industries, Inc. Based in Northern California's cultivation mecca, their portfolio of premium indoor gardening equipment brands include Gorilla Grow Tent, Kind LED Grow Lights, and SuperCloset. The Company was founded on the belief that growing plant medicine is a human right.
