Ahead of Originalive™: Luvme Hair Looks Beyond First-Day Hair Quality

Ahead of the upcoming Originalive collection, Luvme Hair is shifting the conversation from first-touch softness to how premium human hair performs through washing, styling, and everyday wear

NEW YORK, N.Y., Sept. 18, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Ahead of the official debut of Originalive™, Luvme Hair is sharing a closer look at one of the ideas shaping its upcoming premium human hair collection: good hair should be judged by more than how soft, smooth, or shiny it feels when it is new.

First impressions matter. A wig that feels silky, moves naturally, and has a healthy-looking shine can immediately feel premium. But for Luvme Hair, the more meaningful questions often come later: How does the hair respond after washing? Does it remain easy to comb? Can it be restyled without quickly losing its natural feel? And how well does it hold up as it becomes part of everyday life?

These questions are also explored in Luvme’s guide to what makes a good human hair wig, which looks beyond softness alone to consider hair integrity, construction, color, and styling performance.

WHY FIRST-DAY SOFTNESS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

Originalive™ is being developed around a broader approach to hair quality. Rather than treating “soft hair” as the final measure of premium quality, the collection considers how the original hair is selected and processed, as well as how its desirable qualities can be maintained through repeated use.

At the foundation is carefully selected human hair with attention to cuticle alignment and lower-stress processing. Luvme’s development approach is designed to preserve more of the hair’s natural structure, strength, elasticity, and texture instead of relying primarily on a surface-level finish.

This distinction matters because the qualities shoppers notice on day one are only part of the ownership experience. Luvme’s broader human hair wigs range already reflects the variety of textures, lengths, colors, and constructions consumers encounter; Originalive™ is intended to take the conversation further by placing greater emphasis on the condition and performance of the hair itself.

PUTTING LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE UNDER A CLOSER LOOK

One of the key areas behind Originalive™ is Long-Lasting Hair Quality.

As part of its development framework, Luvme evaluates hair through a 30-cycle standard wash-and-dry process, observing factors including shine, smoothness, and combability at different stages. The purpose is not to suggest that human hair never changes, but to examine how well desirable qualities can be maintained under repeated care.

Human hair naturally responds to water, cleansing, friction, heat, products, and maintenance habits. That is why Luvme’s discussion of good human hair wig quality over time focuses on performance after washing and regular wear rather than simply measuring quality by the number of months a wig has been owned.

For Originalive™, that long-term perspective is central: the goal is for good hair to remain recognizable as good hair beyond the unboxing moment.

FROM WASH PERFORMANCE TO RESTYLING

Styling provides another test of hair quality.

Originalive™ is being developed with attention to elasticity, shape recovery, and curl retention, with time-based evaluations used to observe how styled hair responds after the initial look.

Good styling results still depend on technique and care. Luvme’s guide on how to make curls last longer on human hair wigs explains how preparation, controlled heat, cooling, and product use can affect curl retention—reinforcing the idea that hair quality and proper care work together.

As Originalive™ moves closer to its official debut, Luvme Hair will continue revealing more about the collection’s hair integrity, natural-looking construction, color craftsmanship, and styling performance.

The idea behind this preview is intentionally simple: good hair should not be defined by one perfect first impression. What matters is how the hair continues to look, feel, move, and respond after real life begins.

FIT4MOM Celebrates 25 Years by Launching New Fitness Programs For Every Stage of Motherhood

America's leading fitness community continues to evolve with new strength training, postpartum recovery, and midlife wellness programs launching in 2026

SAN DIEGO, CALIF., July 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — FIT4MOM, the nation’s leading fitness and wellness community for moms, is celebrating its 25 year anniversary by expanding its programming to better support women through every stage of motherhood—from postpartum recovery to midlife wellness.

As FIT4MOM celebrates 25 years of Strength in Motherhood, Founder and CEO Lisa Druxman is evolving their fitness programming to launch new programs such as Body Strong and Stronger Every Season, to offer more strength training for women in all stages of motherhood, including midlife.
Image caption: As FIT4MOM celebrates 25 years of Strength in Motherhood, Founder and CEO Lisa Druxman is evolving their fitness programming to launch new programs such as Body Strong and Stronger Every Season, to offer more strength training for women in all stages of motherhood, including midlife.

The milestone marks the beginning of a journey that started with one new mom looking for connection.

After becoming a mom 25 years ago, FIT4MOM Founder and CEO Lisa Druxman was looking for a way to get out of the house, move her body and meet other moms. When she couldn’t find a workout catered to new moms, she created her own. She wasn’t trying to build a business. She was trying to find her village.

What began as a small group of moms working out together in a San Diego park grew into Stroller Strides, and eventually FIT4MOM, the nation’s leading fitness and wellness community for moms. While it’s best known for launching the nation’s first stroller fitness program, the company now offers 8 different fitness programs, and is preparing to launch two more.

“Moms come for the workout, but they stay for the village,” said Lisa Druxman, Founder and CEO of FIT4MOM. “For 25 years, we’ve helped moms find strength—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. This milestone is a celebration of every mom, instructor, franchise owner, and community member who has been part of that journey.”

Founded in 2001 on the belief that every mom needs a Village, FIT4MOM has grown into a nationwide movement dedicated to creating strength in motherhood.

Over the past 25 years, FIT4MOM has:

  • Expanded to more than 200 markets across 40 states
  • Served nearly 420,000 moms nationwide
  • Trained and certified more than 1,200 instructors
  • Developed fitness and wellness programs supporting moms from pregnancy through midlife
  • Built a community of more than 500,000 social media followers
  • Been featured on The Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN, and NBC

The impact extends far beyond fitness. According to a 2025 member survey, 86% of FIT4MOM members reported that connection with other moms – not the workout itself—is their primary reason for staying.

LOOKING AHEAD: NEW PROGRAMS FOR EVERY SEASON OF MOTHERHOOD

As motherhood has evolved over the past 25 years, so has FIT4MOM. In honor of its 25th anniversary, FIT4MOM is introducing new programs that address the changing needs of today’s moms.

CORE & RESTORE: CONNECT & STRENGTHEN

Designed specifically for newly postpartum moms, Core & Restore: Connect is a 45-minute baby-friendly class focused on rebuilding core and pelvic floor strength after childbirth. The program addresses common postpartum challenges such as diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, and postural changes, while creating a welcoming space where babies are fully integrated into the experience.

When moms are ready to progress, Core & Restore: Strengthen moves beyond recovery into more challenging strength work while still supporting core and pelvic floor function.

BODY STRONG

Created for women ready to prioritize strength training, Body Strong delivers progressive strength workouts designed to help women build muscle, improve mobility, and support long-term health. The program emphasizes functional strength, bone health, balance, and confidence.

STRONGER EVERY SEASON

FIT4MOM is also expanding support for women navigating perimenopause and menopause through Stronger Every Season, a 60-day strength, nutrition, and hormone reset available online at FIT4MOM On Demand. The program includes strength and mobility workouts, guided walks, nutrition support, hormone health education, and practical resources designed to help women feel strong and informed during this stage of life…because strength in motherhood doesn’t stop at any age.

“For 25 years, our mission has been to help moms find strength in motherhood,” said Druxman. “That mission hasn’t changed—but moms have, and we’re committed to evolving alongside them. These new programs ensure we’re supporting women through every chapter of motherhood, today and for the next 25 years.”

ABOUT FIT4MOM

FIT4MOM is the nation’s leading provider of prenatal and postnatal fitness and wellness programs, supporting moms through every stage of motherhood—from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond. With a focus on strength, community, and connection, FIT4MOM offers group fitness classes, wellness resources, and a supportive network designed to help moms feel strong in body, mind, and spirit.

Luvme Shares Expert Guide to Reusable Human Hair Crochet Styles

The beauty brand offers practical guidance to help shoppers understand how human hair crochet extensions can support longer-wear protective styles, gentle care, proper removal, and future restyling

NEW YORK, N.Y., July 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Luvme Hair, a beauty brand offering human hair wigs, glueless wigs, lace wigs, hair extensions, crochet hair, and protective styling solutions, is sharing an expert guide to reusable human hair crochet styles to help shoppers better understand how to choose, wear, care for, and preserve crochet hair for future styling.

Luvme Shares Expert Guide to Reusable Human Hair Crochet Styles
Image caption: Luvme Shares Expert Guide to Reusable Human Hair Crochet Styles.

Human hair crochet extensions can offer a practical option for customers who want protective styling with natural movement, softer texture, and longer-term styling value. Unlike short-term synthetic crochet styles, human hair crochet may be refreshed and reused when it is gently removed, properly washed, detangled, fully dried, and stored with care.

“Reusable crochet styles start with the right hair quality and the right care habits,” said a spokesperson for Luvme Hair. “For customers who want protective styles that feel natural and remain manageable beyond one install, human hair crochet can offer added flexibility when maintained correctly.”

WHAT MAKES HUMAN HAIR CROCHET STYLES REUSABLE

Crochet hair is commonly installed through a braided base using a crochet needle or latch hook. The final look depends on the texture, braid pattern, knot control, placement, and aftercare. For shoppers comparing how long crochet hair lasts, Luvme Hair notes that human hair crochet generally requires more gentle care than synthetic options but may offer stronger long-term value.

A reusable crochet style does not mean the hair should be worn without maintenance. Instead, it means the hair should be treated carefully during installation, daily wear, removal, cleansing, and storage so it can remain soft, clean, and suitable for future styling.

KEY TIPS FOR REUSABLE HUMAN HAIR CROCHET STYLES

1. Choose Human Hair Crochet for Longer-Wear Value

Luvme Hair recommends human hair crochet for shoppers who prioritize softness, natural movement, and styling flexibility. High-quality Luvme crochet human hair can be especially useful for boho braids, miracle knots, vacation-ready looks, and fuller protective styles that need a natural-looking finish.

2. Select a Texture That Matches the Care Routine

Different types of crochet hair require different levels of maintenance. Deep wave and Burmese curly textures may offer fuller definition, wet and wavy hair textures can create a softer refreshed look, and kinky straight textures may be easier for shoppers who prefer a smoother finish. Choosing a texture that matches the customer’s styling habits can help support reuse.

3. Install With Comfort and Future Removal in Mind

Reusable crochet hair should not be installed too tightly or too heavily. A clean braid base, balanced spacing, and controlled knot placement can help the style look natural while making removal easier. Customers learning how to install Luvme crochet hair should focus on comfort, even placement, and gentle handling.

4. Maintain the Hair With Light, Consistent Care

To care for human crochet hair, Luvme Hair recommends light moisture, gentle detangling, scalp cleanliness, and nighttime protection. Heavy product buildup, rough brushing, and sleeping with damp hair can reduce softness and make reuse more difficult.

5. Remove, Clean, and Store Carefully

When removing human hair crochet, customers should avoid pulling or cutting near the hair pieces. After removal, the hair should be gently detangled, cleansed when needed, conditioned lightly, air-dried fully, and stored in a satin bag, pouch, or organized bundle. Proper storage helps reduce tangling and keeps the hair ready for future protective styles.

ScentFest SF, the West Coast’s First International Consumer Fragrance Festival, Opens at Fort Mason June 26-28

More than 110 fragrance houses, the Osmothèque's 4,000-year archive including the original 1921 Chanel No. 5, and a Scent Sessions program presented by Amouage with creative director Renaud Salmon and Kayali founder Mona Kattan

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 22, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ScentFest SF, the West Coast’s first international consumer fragrance festival, opens June 26 to 28, 2026 at the Gateway Pavilion at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. Founded by Sebastian Jara, creator of The Perfume Guy on YouTube, the inaugural three-day festival gathers more than 110 fragrance houses from around the world, the traveling archive of the Osmothèque, and a program of talks featuring some of the most recognized names in perfumery, all built for the public rather than the trade.

The centerpiece is the Osmothèque, the world’s largest fragrance archive, based at Versailles, France. For the first time, it will present its historic scents at a US consumer festival: 25 fragrances spanning nearly 4,000 years. The journey begins with Kyphi, the sacred scent of ancient Egypt, and runs through the cologne Napoleon wore, Houbigant’s Fougère Royale of 1884, widely called the birth of modern perfumery, and the original 1921 formula of Chanel No. 5 as Ernest Beaux first composed it. Among the rarest are Coty’s Chypre (1917), the perfume that named an entire fragrance family, and Jacques Fath’s Iris Gris (1947), a lost masterpiece collectors treat as a holy grail. Most are no longer made and survive almost nowhere else, making this a once-in-a-lifetime chance to smell them.

The festival’s Scent Sessions program, presented by the luxury house Amouage, brings three days of talks and panels featuring marquee names from across the industry. Amouage creative director Renaud Salmon headlines, joined in a Saturday rapid-fire session by Mona Kattan, founder of Kayali. Master perfumer Christophe Laudamiel, a live smelling of original historic formulas led by the Osmothèque’s Thomas Fontaine, and dozens of perfumers, brand founders, and critics round out a program on the art, craft, and culture of perfumery.

On the festival floor, the more than 110 houses range from established names to independent perfumers found in no department store, and nearly all sell on-site, so a scent discovered is a scent to take home that day. At the Algorithmic Perfumery station from EveryHuman, visitors answer a few questions and an AI composes a personal fragrance, blended and bottled on the spot (a custom 5ml bottle is $25).

“For one weekend, the public gets to walk into a world that usually stays behind the closed doors of the trade,” said Sebastian Jara, founder of ScentFest SF. “You can smell 4,000 years of perfume history, meet the people behind the bottles, and leave with a scent made just for you.”

The timing is deliberate. ScentFest SF caps a remarkable week for fragrance in Northern California, following the World Perfumery Congress in Monterey (June 23 to 25) and the Business of Beauty Global Forum in Napa Valley (June 24 to 26). It is the one part of that week made for the public.

ScentFest SF is open to the public from noon to 6 p.m. each day; press, industry, and VIP pass holders enter at 10 a.m. General admission is $49 for a single day or $139 for a three-day pass. Tickets and the full schedule are at https://scentfestsf.com/.

Luvme Hair Shares Expert Guide to Choosing the Right Wig Density for Natural-Looking Volume

The beauty brand offers practical guidance to help wig wearers understand 150%, 180%, 200%, and 250% wig density for everyday wear, fuller styling, and natural-looking volume

NEW YORK, N.Y., June 18, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Luvme Hair, a beauty brand offering human hair wigs, glueless wigs, lace wigs, and protective styling solutions, is sharing an expert guide to help customers choose the right wig density for natural-looking volume, comfort, and styling needs.

Luvme Hair Shares Expert Guide to Choosing the Right Wig Density for Natural-Looking Volume
Image caption: Luvme Hair Shares Expert Guide to Choosing the Right Wig Density for Natural-Looking Volume.

Wig density refers to the amount of hair added to a wig cap and is commonly shown as a percentage, such as 150%, 180%, 200%, or 250%. For customers comparing different levels of fullness, Luvme Hair’s wig density guide explains how density affects the overall appearance, weight, movement, and styling experience of a wig.

“Choosing wig density is one of the most important steps in selecting a natural-looking wig,” said a spokesperson for Luvme Hair. “The fullest density is not always the best choice for every customer. The right density should match the wearer’s lifestyle, preferred volume, texture, length, and comfort needs.”

WHAT WIG DENSITY MEANS

Wig density describes the fullness of a wig. A lower density can create a softer and more lightweight appearance, while a higher density can create thicker ends, fuller movement, and a more dramatic look. Luvme Hair notes that density is not a measure of hair quality. Instead, it is a styling feature that helps determine the final appearance and wearing experience.

— LUVME HAIR’S WIG DENSITY GUIDE —

150% DENSITY: NATURAL AND LIGHTWEIGHT

Luvme Hair recommends 150% density for customers who want a more natural, lightweight look. This density can be suitable for everyday wear, beginner-friendly styling, work, school, casual routines, and customers who prefer less volume. It may also work well for shorter styles, bob wigs, and simple straight looks.

Customers choosing shorter styles can also review the best density for a bob wig, since bob wigs may appear balanced and naturally full without requiring the highest density.

180% DENSITY: BALANCED AND FULLER

For customers who want more body while keeping the wig manageable, 180% density can offer a balanced option. It provides a fuller look than 150% density without feeling overly dramatic for daily wear. Luvme Hair notes that 180% density hair can be a versatile choice for body wave, loose wave, layered styles, side parts, and customers who want natural-looking fullness wig density guide extra movement.

200% DENSITY: FULL AND PHOTO-READY

A 200% density wig is designed for customers who prefer a thicker, more voluminous appearance. This level of density can be suitable for longer wigs, defined curls, glam styling, events, photos, and customers who want fuller ends. Luvme Hair recommends considering both comfort and maintenance when choosing 200% density, as fuller wigs may require more detangling and styling care.

250% DENSITY: EXTRA FULL AND DRAMATIC

For customers who want maximum volume, 250% density offers the most dramatic fullness. This option may be preferred for statement looks, bold curls, high-volume styling, and customers who enjoy a more glamorous finish. Luvme Hair notes that 250% density may not be necessary for every daily routine but can be a strong choice for those who want standout volume.

HOW TEXTURE AND LENGTH AFFECT DENSITY

Luvme Hair recommends choosing the right wig density by considering lifestyle, texture, length, comfort, and the desired level of fullness.

Texture can change how density appears. Curly, deep wave, water wave, and body wave textures often look fuller because the curl pattern adds shape and volume. Straight wigs may show density more directly through the thickness of the hair and ends. Customers comparing natural-looking density for water wave wigs may prefer a softer density for daily wear and a higher density for dramatic volume.

Length is also important. Longer wigs may benefit from higher density to maintain fullness from crown to ends, while shorter wigs can often appear full and polished with moderate density.

Debut Author Tina Rastelli Awarded Prestigious 2026 Eric Hoffer Grand Prize

New Book, 'A Story to Tell,' Delivers Hope for Healing Amidst Devastating Circumstances

SWEDESBORO, N.J., June 8, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — During an unexpected betrayal, juggling career and single motherhood, along with financial difficulties, Tina Rastelli started journaling prayerful appeals to God, which would become, “A Story to Tell: From Single to Surrendered” (ISBN 979-8218457594; published by Single to Surrender), and win the prestigious 2026 Eric Hoffer Grand Prize, as it was announced last week.

Cover, 'A Story to Tell' by Tina Rastelli
Image caption: Cover, “A Story to Tell,” by Tina Rastelli.

“There are books you read, and then there are books that read you — books that seem to reach through the page and speak directly to something you did not know you needed to hear…By the time I turned the final page, I had laughed, wept, held my breath, and quietly whispered a prayer of my own,” wrote book reviewer Peter Okonkwo.

The Eric Hoffer Grand Prize is one of the highest distinctions in independent publishing chosen through multiple rounds of judging from thousands of international entries spanning all genres — and the Grand Prize recognizes a single book each year for exceptional literary merit. Rastelli’s book was also honored with the Eric Hoffer First Horizon Award recognizing exceptional debut works that demonstrate promise and literary quality. “A Story to Tell” was also named a Finalist for The American Legacy Book Awards, celebrating titles that contribute meaningfully across a range of genres and voices.

Rooted in personal experience and anchored in faith, “A Story to Tell” speaks to women navigating difficult and unplanned seasons—offering reassurance that even life’s most painful detours are not without purpose. Through honest reflection and a message centered on surrendering control and trusting God’s plan, Rastelli invites readers into a deeper understanding of how brokenness can become the beginning of restoration.

“This book was born out of a season that didn’t look anything like what I had planned,” Rastelli said. “But through that journey, I came to understand that surrender isn’t about giving up – it’s about trusting that God is still writing a story worth telling.”

Since its release, “A Story to Tell” has resonated with readers seeking faith-centered encouragement, particularly women experiencing uncertainty, loss, or life transitions. Its message aligns with a growing desire for authentic, Christ-centered conversations around struggle, identity, and purpose. The book is also increasingly capturing broader audiences as a timeless story of faith, perseverance, and hope despite the difficulties life often delivers.

More information about the book and the author’s story can be found at https://www.singletosurrender.com/.

“A Story to Tell” is available at Single to Surrender, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other places books are sold.

Luvme Hair Shares Summer Human Hair Wig Care Tips for Heat, Humidity, and Travel

The beauty brand offers practical guidance for keeping human hair wigs fresh, soft, manageable, and natural-looking during summer weather and travel routines

NEW YORK, N.Y., June 5, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Luvme Hair, a beauty brand offering human hair wigs, glueless wigs, lace wigs, and protective styling solutions, is sharing summer human hair wig care tips to help customers maintain softness, freshness, and manageability during hot weather, humid conditions, outdoor activities, and travel.

Luvme Hair Shares Summer Human Hair Wig Care Tips for Heat, Humidity, and Travel

Summer can place extra stress on human hair wigs. Heat, sweat, sun exposure, humidity, sunscreen, styling products, wind, and travel storage can affect how a wig feels, moves, and holds its shape. According to Luvme Hair, a summer care routine should focus on moisture balance, gentle cleansing, frizz control, careful detangling, and proper storage.

“Human hair wigs can remain beautiful and natural-looking throughout the summer when customers adjust their care routine for the season,” said a spokesperson for Luvme Hair. “The goal is not to over-wash or over-style, but to keep the wig clean, hydrated, lightweight, and protected from unnecessary stress.”

KEY SUMMER HUMAN HAIR WIG CARE TIPS

1. MAINTAIN MOISTURE WITHOUT USING HEAVY PRODUCTS
Human hair wigs may become dry in summer because of heat, sun exposure, wind, and repeated styling. Luvme Hair recommends using lightweight conditioning products that help maintain softness without weighing the hair down. Heavy oils or too much styling product can create buildup, especially in hot weather.

For summer care, customers can focus on lightweight leave-in care, moisturizing conditioner, and anti-frizz support as part of their human hair wig care products routine.

2. REFRESH WIGS MORE OFTEN DURING HOT WEATHER
Summer sweat, sunscreen, dust, and styling products can collect around the lace area, cap interior, and hair fibers. Luvme Hair recommends refreshing wigs more often during summer, especially after long outdoor days or frequent wear.

A consistent wig care and maintenance routine can help reduce buildup, keep the wig fresher, and support a more comfortable wearing experience. However, customers should avoid excessive washing, which may dry out the hair. Instead, they should clean based on wear frequency, sweat, odor, and product buildup.

3. CONTROL FRIZZ CAUSED BY HUMIDITY
Humidity can make straight, wavy, and curly human hair wigs appear frizzy, puffy, or less defined. To help control frizz in human hair wigs, Luvme Hair suggests gentle detangling, light conditioning, and avoiding too much product layering.

For curly, body wave, deep wave, or water wave wigs, customers can refresh the pattern with a small amount of water-based leave-in product or curl-friendly styling product. The goal is to restore movement and definition without making the hair feel stiff or heavy.

4. DETANGLE GENTLY AFTER OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Wind, heat, friction, and movement can make the ends and nape area more prone to tangling. Luvme Hair recommends detangling from the ends upward with a wide-tooth comb or wig-friendly brush. Customers should avoid pulling through knots aggressively, especially when the hair is wet or heavily tangled.

After outdoor activities, a few minutes of gentle detangling can help prevent small knots from becoming larger tangles.

5. PROTECT WIGS FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT AND SUN EXPOSURE
Human hair wigs can be styled with heat, but repeated high heat may contribute to dryness or dullness. During summer, Luvme Hair recommends limiting unnecessary heat styling and using heat-safe practices when hot tools are needed.

Customers who spend extended time outdoors should also avoid leaving wigs in direct sunlight, hot cars, or tightly packed bags for long periods. These conditions can affect softness, shine, and overall manageability.

6. CARE FOR WIGS AFTER BEACH, POOL, OR TRAVEL DAYS
Beach trips, pool days, and summer travel can expose wigs to salt air, chlorine, humidity, sweat, and packing pressure. Luvme Hair recommends extra attention to after beach or pool care, including gentle detangling, allowing the wig to air out, and cleansing when needed.

Before packing a wig, customers should make sure it is fully dry. Storing a damp wig in luggage can lead to odor, tangling, and a less fresh wearing experience.

7. PACK A SUMMER WIG CARE KIT
For vacations, weekend trips, outdoor events, and long travel days, Luvme Hair recommends preparing a small summer wig care kit. Useful items may include a wide-tooth comb, satin storage bag, lightweight leave-in conditioner, travel-size styling product, extra wig cap, edge brush, and a compact mirror.

A simple kit helps customers manage frizz, refresh the hairline, reduce tangling, and keep the wig looking natural throughout summer plans.

HUMAN HAIR WIG CARE FOR SUMMER CONFIDENCE

Luvme Hair notes that summer wig care is about creating balance. Human hair wigs need enough moisture to stay soft, enough cleansing to stay fresh, and enough protection to maintain their natural-looking finish. With the right routine, customers can enjoy summer weather, travel, and outdoor occasions while keeping their wigs manageable and polished.

By sharing seasonal care guidance, Luvme Hair aims to help customers feel confident in their human hair wigs throughout heat, humidity, and travel.

ABOUT LUVME HAIR

Luvme Hair offers human hair wigs, glueless wigs, lace wigs, and protective styling solutions designed for natural-looking, confidence-boosting wear. With a focus on comfort, quality, and beginner-friendly design, Luvme Hair provides wig options for everyday styling, special occasions, travel, and seasonal beauty routines.

“It’s about time women’s basketball is being recognized,” said O’Neal. “I’m a big fan—these players can really play. There are more great players than there are opportunities, and the UPSHOT League, which tips off on the 15th, is creating those opportunities.”

It’s energy-infusing to feel all of basketball and all basketball fans lean into that spirit. Partnerships like this with Dunkman help bring that vision to life in real ways on and off the court.”

Dunkman’s involvement extends beyond uniforms, aligning with the league’s broader mission to create a dynamic, culturally relevant platform that resonates with both traditional basketball audiences and new fans alike.

American Gem Society Asks Jeweler Moms What Fine Jewelry Trends to Expect This Mother’s Day

LAS VEGAS, Nev., April 29, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Fine jewelry has long been one of the most beloved Mother’s Day gifts. It’s personal, lasting, and chosen with love. To help find the perfect piece, the American Gem Society (AGS) turned to three AGS member jewelers who are also moms, asking them what trends they are noticing for Mother’s Day.

Image caption: Cigar band with multi-shaped stones by Dilamani.

“This Mother’s Day, we anticipate jewelry trends that feel personal, effortless, and meant to be lived in. Clients are gravitating toward pieces with meaning; birthstones, engravings, or symbolic designs because they tell a story rather than just making a statement. There’s a strong move toward ‘quiet luxury’—beautifully made gold pieces, soft organic shapes, and subtle gemstone accents that she can wear every single day,” says Alexis Padis, CGA, Padis Jewelry, San Francisco, Walnut Creek, and Napa, CA. “Color is also having a moment—emeralds, sapphires, and unique stones set in modern ways feel fresh, joyful, and incredibly giftable for moms who want something a little different.”

“What we’re seeing for 2026 isn’t just a shift in style, but a shift in mindset. Mother’s Day jewelry is moving away from overtly sentimental, one-time gifts toward a more style-driven approach with pieces that become part of her daily uniform,” says Courtney Sivard, CSA, B.C. Clark, Oklahoma City, OK. “Think refined, enduring staples: sculptural gold, modern pearls, classic dress watches, and diamond essentials that feel effortless yet intentional. It’s less about personalization and more about creating a signature look that’s practical for her life but polished enough to elevate it.

“We are trending with multi-shape diamonds, particularly mixed bezel and prong settings in earrings, necklaces, and rings that are perfect for anyone who loves a little edge with their elegance,” notes Sarah Person, CG, Exclusively Diamonds, Mankato, MN.

In addition to these experts’ trend tips, here are a few practical guidelines for anyone shopping for fine jewelry this Mother’s Day:

  • Think long-term wear. The best gifts are pieces she’ll reach for every day, not just on special occasions. Look for styles that complement what she already owns and fit her actual lifestyle.
  • Ask questions. A trustworthy jeweler welcomes questions about metal quality, gemstone grading, and care instructions.
  • Consider her lifestyle. The most cherished jewelry is jewelry that gets worn. Think about whether mom favors understated everyday pieces or loves to make a statement, then shop accordingly.
  • Don’t overlook the presentation. For a gift this meaningful, the moment of giving matters. Ask your jeweler about gift presentation options.
  • Shop with an AGS credentialed jeweler. AGS credentialed jewelers must recertify annually in order to maintain their credential. They are trained to guide, not pressure, and to help you find the right piece for your budget and her taste.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN GEM SOCIETY

The American Gem Society (AGS), founded in 1934 by Robert M. Shipley, is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to ethics, knowledge, and consumer protection within the jewelry industry.

Sobriety Is Suddenly ‘Chic,’ But It’s Not New – It’s Been in Fiction for Decades

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 27, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Recent coverage in major outlets, including a New York Times feature on the rise of “sober party girls” and alcohol-free social spaces, has framed not drinking as a newly emerging cultural trend. From curated sober parties to alcohol-free bars and wellness-driven nightlife, sobriety is increasingly being rebranded as aspirational, social and even chic, The Evolution of Publishing Institute announced today.

'Recovery Rocks' is available on all major podcast platforms
Image caption: “Recovery Rocks” is available on all major podcast platforms.

But for many authors, the emotional terrain behind this trend is far from new.

Nearly two decades ago, Anna David explored addiction, denial and recovery in her novel “Party Girl,” which centered on a young woman navigating the highs of Hollywood party culture and the long, complicated road back from substance dependence. Before that, Marian Keyes’ hilariously covered an Irish girl’s journey through alcoholism, rehab and recovery in her classic novel “Rachel’s Holiday.”

Both “Rachel’s Holiday” and “Party Girl” arrived well before the explosion of what is now known as “Quit Lit” – a category that has since grown to include bestselling memoirs such as “We Are the Luckiest” by Laura McKowen, “How to Murder Your Life” by Cat Marnell, “Quit Like a Woman” by Holly Whitaker, “Girl Walks Out of a Bar” by Lisa Smith and “Sober Curious” by Ruby Warrington.

But while recovery memoir has flourished over the past decade, novels about addiction and sobriety remains comparatively rare. Both Keyes and David offered fictional stories that explored the psychology of denial, the seduction of nightlife and the messy process of getting sober with a dose of humor and lightness not always attainable in memoir.

“I wanted to write a novel rather than a memoir because it felt like a memoir would just be too earnest,” David says. “I knew it would be much easier to make fun of the main character if it wasn’t just a straight ‘this happened, then this happened, then this happened’ sort of thing.”

After a nearly decade-long hiatus, David is now returning to the mainstream recovery conversation as co-host of the Signal award winning podcast “Recovery Rocks,” along with “Girl Walks Out of a Bar” author Smith. The podcast, which Smith originally created and co-hosted with “Dry Humping” author Tawny Lara, explores the lived experience behind sobriety’s cultural evolution. It features interviews with authors and other leaders in the recovery movement.

As sober social life continues to attract mainstream attention, “Recovery Rocks” is one of the many resources out there that addresses various aspects of recovery.

“The amount of content available today for people struggling with addiction is mind-boggling,” David says. “It’s been amazing to watch recovery make its way to the mainstream.”

“Recovery Rocks” is available on all major podcast platforms.

A second open tryout is scheduled for March 15 in Jacksonville, Florida, at FSCJ South Campus, also from 1:00–4:00 p.m. These open tryouts mark the first official step for players as the league prepares for its inaugural season.

The UPSHOT League is a newly formed women’s professional basketball league built on the pillars of opportunity and community, with a mission to uplift players, fans, and the cities it serves. The league will debut with four founding teams: the Jacksonville Waves, Charlotte Crown, Greensboro Groove, and Savannah Steel, with additional market opportunities to follow.

Led by Commissioner Donna Orender, former President of the WNBA, The UPSHOT League brings elite leadership and a bold vision to the women’s sports landscape. Orender co-founded the league with Andy Kaufmann, founder of Zawyer Sports & Entertainment, combining deep experience in professional sports, community development, and innovative fan engagement.

“These tryouts represent more than roster spots — they represent real opportunity,” said Orender. “The UPSHOT League is committed to creating a professional platform where women athletes are valued, supported, and connected to their communities in meaningful ways. These women will be new heroes in new cities.”

Tryouts in each market will give aspiring professional players who have exhausted their college eligibility the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of league executives and coaching staffs as teams begin assembling rosters for the season, which tips off May 15. Final rosters will be announced May 9.

Players may pre-register for tryouts at https://upshotleague.com/.

With a focus on uplifting people and strengthening the cities it calls home, The UPSHOT League aims to be a powerful force in the continued growth of women’s professional basketball. The league’s community-first model emphasizes player development, local engagement, and creating meaningful pathways both on and off the court.

‘ABUSED’ – A Song Giving Voice to Survivors Living in Silence

Liyah Bey's unflinching new single confronts physical, emotional, and psychological abuse

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan. 27, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “Abused,” the new single from international singer-songwriter Liyah Bey, is not a confession or a plea—it is a declaration. Built on restraint rather than release, the song gives voice to survivors of abuse by doing something rare in popular music: naming the truth plainly, without softening it.

ABUSED by Liyah Bey is a song in solidarity with victims of abuse
Image caption: “Abused” by Liyah Bey is a song in solidarity with victims of abuse.

Known for her powerhouse vocals and fearless storytelling, Bey delivers one of the most necessary performances of her career. Rather than leaning into melodrama or catharsis, “Abused” unfolds with quiet inevitability, allowing its message to arrive on its own terms—steady, unavoidable, and deeply human.

Structured around a slow, deliberate lyrical reveal, the song withholds its central word until late in the track. When abused finally lands, it does so with devastating precision, crystallizing the emotional journey that has been building beneath the surface. The effect is not shock, but recognition—the moment when something long carried in silence is finally named.

Bey – whose career has included opening for Boy George and standing in for Lauryn Hill – brings rare vocal control and emotional discipline to the performance. She co-wrote “Abused” with graphic novelist Stephen Stern, crafting a song that prioritizes honesty over ornamentation and impact over volume.

“I’ve written and performed hundreds of songs over the years,” says Bey, “but none have ever felt as necessary as this one. Abused is for anyone who has carried something silently for far too long.”

Early listener responses have been deeply personal. Survivors describe the song as a mirror—articulating experiences they had never heard reflected so plainly in music before. Rather than offering resolution or easy answers, “Abused” creates space: for recognition, for conversation, and for the quiet power that comes with finally telling the truth.

Based in Los Angeles, Bey channels global influences and lived experience into a sound that is intimate, cinematic, and emotionally fearless. Her growing catalog – including fan favorites “Million Dollar Girl” and “Can’t Stop Loving You” – has cultivated a dedicated and deeply engaged audience. With “Abused,” that commitment reaches its most direct and urgent expression yet.

“Abused” is now available on all major streaming platforms.

What If the Future Looked Back at Us? A New Sci-Fi Project Explores Gender, Power, and Perspective

A defining feature of the experience is its eye-catching, hilarious original comic art, which portrays the main characters with biting satire

NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — What if men had to prove they were marriage material? What if men were judged by their biceps and facial symmetry? What if men needed to smile more in order to get promoted? And what if this wasn’t satire – but a classified transmission from the future? Welcome to “Galaxy 360: A Woman’s Playground,” produced by Movement 360 Inc., the feminist sci-fi universe quietly taking over the internet, where gender roles are reversed, power is reimagined, and Earth (circa 2025) is being studied as a fascinating—but deeply flawed—civilization.

GALAXY 360 COMIC ART - main character, Illumina (played by Anna Fishbeyn), tells the audience that they can BOO the male contestants in the beauty pageant in 2195.

Created by writer, director, and performer Anna Fishbeyn, “Galaxy 360” is not just a film—it is a fully built world set in the year 2195, where women rule, men compete in beauty pageants, and female confidence is considered a biological birthright.

Watch Galaxy 360 Trailer – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdxkIrTHD-I

Clips from the project have already amassed over 60 million views across social media, igniting laughter, backlash, think pieces, and one recurring response from women: “This is funny… but it’s also our lives.”

Early critics have embraced the project’s audacity and originality. Film Daily called it “revolutionary,” adding, “Beam us the hell up.” iHeartRadio praised the film as “otherworldly funny and original,” while Hollywood Chicago went further, calling it “the best hetero date movie ever made.”

According to the future depicted in “Galaxy 360,” men must work out – a lot, maintain elaborate skincare routines with Duck Fat Injections, and plump their lips with a dangerous procedure, known as Tarantula Lip Treatment. They are required to apologize frequently, sincerely, and with moisturized lips. Apologies are so central to future masculinity that the calendar includes an annual observance: The National Sorry Holiday, celebrated every July 15 as a ritual of male accountability.

Women make all major decisions. The future finds these norms not controversial, but evolutionary – beneficial to humanity – expanding its socio-political-economic powers and advances in technology and longevity.

“Galaxy 360” does not lecture. It mirrors.

By flipping gender expectations, it reveals how normalized power becomes invisible – until it is reversed. The humor lands first. The discomfort follows. The conversations linger.

Rather than releasing the project on a traditional streaming platform, Fishbeyn launched Galaxy360.film, an immersive, comic-book-styled experience where audiences do not simply watch a movie—they enter a civilization.

A defining feature of the experience is its eye-catching, hilarious original comic art, which portrays the main characters with Fishbeyn’s signature biting satire. The comic universe is not supplemental—it is central—transforming feminist critique into something visual, playful, and instantly shareable.

Visitors to Galaxy360.film unlock deep sci-fi world-building through the Galaxy 360 Bible, original comic art, “The Labia Files” – a collection of “classified” real-world data extracted from Earth’s cultural archives, “Breaking Earth News,” where women from 2195 analyze modern society, and a community hub that offers daily satirical challenges designed to make you laugh and invites audiences to join and actively participate.

Galaxy 360 Comic Art - the judges, Clement (Lauren LoGiudice), Baroness (Squeaky Moore), Illumina (Anna Fishbeyn), Dalialah (Athena Michaelides), Kyle (David Nash) are discussing the virtue of silent men while judging the male contestants in the Victor's Angels Mr. World Beauty Pageant.

One of the project’s most provocative extensions is “A Day in Matriarchy” – a monthly series where women live in power. Beaming up to the future is not easy. You need to state your desires, figure out the rules, and choose what you want after centuries of being trained to be chosen. Being in power also means: – no apologizing, no qualifying, no backtracking. Men are welcome to the party. The inaugural pilot – Dating in Matriarchy – launches on December 30th. The experience will explore the comedy and tragedy of modern dating through a futuristic lens, offering participants not answers, but a portal into a parallel universe.

Access to the portal is here: https://galaxy360.film/events.

“Galaxy 360” arrives at a moment of cultural exhaustion, when conversations about gender feel stuck—old debates reframed as viral takes, algorithm-fueled narcissism dominating relationship discourse, and hostility stretching from “the lonely guy” to “single for life.” The project offers a different entry point by asking a deceptively simple question:

WHAT IF, INSTEAD OF ARGUING, WE FLIPPED THE WORLD?

As a result, “Galaxy 360” is being shared not only as entertainment, but as a catalyst—for world-building, perspective-shifting, and re-imagining what power looks like when viewed from the outside.

“It’s not about denying our reality,” says Fishbeyn. “It’s about imagining the impossible—and using imagination to shift reality.”

Designed as a loop rather than a one-off watch, Galaxy 360 invites viewers to unlock deeper layers of the world and actively participate in its universe. It does not ask audiences to agree. It dares them to engage.

The future is watching us.
It has questions.
It has notes.
It has jokes.

You can keep scrolling – or you can see what 2195 thinks of 2025.

“Galaxy 360: A Woman’s Playground” is now live at https://galaxy360.film/, inviting audiences to stream the film, explore the comic-driven universe, and imagine a future that can heal us all.

Mother of Two Reveals Radical Self-Care Secrets: Cindy Caprio Woulfe’s ‘In the Weeds’ Challenges Motherhood Martyrdom and Offers 30-Day Lifeline for Overwhelmed Mothers

This timely collection of 30 daily reflections and journal prompts pulls back the curtain on the less-discussed realities of motherhood

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 8, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In response to the growing mental health crisis among modern mothers, author Cindy Caprio Woulfe has released “In the Weeds: A Guide to Saving Your Own Soul on This Crazy Journey Called Motherhood” (ISBN: 978-1964377957 [ebook]; 978-1964377964 [paperback]; 978-1964377971 [hardcover]; Legacy Launch Pad Publishing).

BJOOK: In the Weeds by Cindy Caprio Woulfe
Image caption: Cover, “In the Weeds: A Guide to Saving Your Own Soul on This Crazy Journey Called Motherhood.”

This timely collection of 30 daily reflections and journal prompts pulls back the curtain on the less-discussed realities of motherhood, offering validation, practical strategies and permission for women to prioritize self-care while navigating the beautiful chaos of raising children.

“This is not a parenting book—there are plenty of those out there already,” says author Cindy Caprio Woulfe. “If you’re feeling overwhelmed with parenting, chances are you’ve already read one—or 10—of them.” Woulfe isn’t here to tell you how to get your baby to sleep through the night, whether to breastfeed or bottle-feed or how much screen time is too much. “This book,” she says, “is for you. Because in case you haven’t heard it in a while—you matter, too.”

The book emerged from Woulfe’s own experiences as a mother of two young boys, when she found herself sitting in her son’s tiny chair one evening, completely depleted after a long day of parenting. That moment in the tiny chair wasn’t just exhaustion – she was “in the weeds,” which inspired her to develop practical strategies for maintaining balance and preserving her sense of self while fully embracing motherhood.

Each daily reading offers a raw, unfiltered look at a different aspect of the motherhood journey, from setting boundaries and finding moments of Zen to embracing imperfection and letting go of comparison. The accompanying journal prompts readers to reflect on their own experiences and implement small but meaningful changes that can transform their daily lives.

“You can love your children and feel like this is so hard,” Woulfe says. “Your heart and hands can be full, and your soul can still feel completely drained. And that’s okay.” It’s Woulfe’s hope that her book can “be a gentle reminder that you are not alone in this beautiful chaos.” Her goal is to get moms to thrive and not just survive “this crazy journey called motherhood.”

“In the Weeds” can be read cover-to-cover or used as a 30-day practice, with each day offering a new perspective and strategy for navigating the overwhelming moments of motherhood. And it’s here to remind mothers that self-care isn’t selfish – it’s essential.

“In the Weeds” is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major online booksellers. For more information, visit https://cindycapriowoulfe.com/.

Global Changemakers Unite for the World Fertility Awards at The Times Center in NYC

The WFAs aim to transform the future of family building by spotlighting progress in reproductive health and honoring those driving change

NEW YORK, N.Y., Sept. 25, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Pregnantish, the first global media platform dedicated to helping people navigate their fertility, will produce the inaugural World Fertility Awards (WFAs) at The Times Center in NYC on December 1. With 500+ nominations from every continent except Antarctica, finalists were selected by a global committee and announced today at worldfertilityawards.com.

Pregnantish World Fertility Awards
Image caption: World Fertility Awards.

The WFAs aim to transform the future of family building by spotlighting progress in reproductive health and honoring those driving change across access, awareness, inclusion, and innovation. This global event will unite medical professionals, advocates, public figures, and industry leaders in support of millions facing fertility challenges.

Backed by international host committees and sponsors, the WFAs will amplify stories of perseverance, science, and hope—bringing visibility to a community often overlooked.

CELEBRATING ACCESS AND AWARENESS

Honoree, astronaut and Time100-creator Kellie Gerardi, is being recognized for sharing her IVF story with millions:

“When I started IVF, it felt like a secret, lonely club no one prepared me for. I share my story to break the stigma, make the invisible visible, and help others feel less alone. My hope is for a future where fertility care is accessible and met with compassion.”

Carrot, a global fertility and family-forming care platform, is sponsoring the WFAs to highlight the need to expand access:

“The World Fertility Awards is elevating critical conversations and advancing our shared mission to increase access,” said Brooke Quinn, Chief Operating Officer at Carrot. “We’re thrilled to join Pregnantish in recognizing the innovators and advocates who are breaking down barriers to make quality fertility care a reality for everyone, everywhere.”

Sarah Kennedy Ellis, VP of Global Growth and Demand at Google Cloud, is among the leaders involved. She emphasizes the value of support during infertility:

“One of the few things we have when going through infertility struggles is community—to laugh, to cry, to learn and everything in between. That’s why celebrating one another and giving more visibility is so important.”

ADVANCING EQUITY AND INCLUSION

The WFAs honors leaders promoting inclusion in fertility care. Former Weekend Today anchor Jenna Wolfe, made history in 2013 by coming out publicly, announcing she was expecting with her wife. She will speak on the need for representation.

In Asia, where infertility stigma remains despite medical advances, innovators are closing equity gaps. WFA sponsor GenPrime, part of Rhea Fertility, led by CEO Margaret Wang shares,

“We understand the hidden struggles many families in Asia face—long wait times, regulatory barriers, and the emotional weight of not knowing where to turn. GenPrime addresses this through a strong international network of fertility clinics that combines science with personalized care. In doing so, we’re creating pathways and opening doors to parenthood. Supporting the World Fertility Awards reflects our belief that Asia deserves fertility care that is inclusive, innovative, and within reach.”

HIGHLIGHTING INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY

Pharmaceutical leader Ferring Pharmaceuticals is offering support in recognition of advances in reproductive medicine.

“We are honored to recognize the meaningful contributions of the people and organizations who are helping to shape the future of reproductive medicine,” said David Powley, Vice President, Reproductive Medicine at Ferring. “The World Fertility Awards is a powerful illustration of our shared focus to help more people become parents—by advancing science, building awareness about the impact of infertility and expanding access to care. We applaud Pregnantish on this important endeavor.”

Prof. Antonio Pellicer, IVF pioneer and co-founder of WFA sponsor IVI RMA Global, will be celebrated for his contribution. With over 200 clinics in 15 countries, IVI has helped bring assisted reproductive technology into the mainstream.

“When we founded IVI 35 years ago, what we were doing in IVF felt almost like science fiction—cutting-edge medicine accessible only to few. It is deeply inspiring to see how those early innovations have become standard of care, and to know that thousands of families across the globe now benefit each year from once-unimaginable treatments.”

IVF trailblazer and Nobel Prize winner Jacques Cohen, being honored for his legacy, is known for breakthroughs in embryo freezing and more.

“When I began my career in 1976, just before Louise Brown’s birth, IVF was a bold experiment with little interest—400 patients, two births. Today, steady progress has transformed it into a reliable option. We’re halfway to our goal of 100% fertilization, healthy embryos, and successful implantation. The journey has been consistent, remarkable, and worth celebrating.”

This gripping memoir is not just a recounting of trauma but a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to rise from the ashes, providing a beacon of hope for others facing similar challenges.

Image caption: Cover, “I Rise, A Survivor I Stand,” by author Traci L Woodcock.

In this deeply personal narrative, Woodcock takes readers on a heart-wrenching journey through her life, from the beginnings of a toxic relationship to the devastating consequences of stalking and sexual violence. Her story sheds light on the psychological and emotional struggles faced by victims, while offering valuable insights into the healing process and the tools and therapies available to reclaim one’s life after trauma.

“I wanted to share my story so that others who have been victimized in such horrific ways know they are not alone,” says Woodcock. “You’re never a victim. A survivor you stand.”

KEY THEMES:

  • The realities of domestic abuse, stalking, and sexual assault
  • Navigating the judicial system and dealing with its aftermath
  • The healing journey through therapy, support systems, and self-empowerment
  • Offering resources, guidance, and hope for victims and their families

With unwavering honesty, Woodcock bravely explores how she transformed her pain into purpose. “I Rise, A Survivor I Stand” serves as a critical resource not only for those who have experienced gender-based violence but also for the supporters, families, and advocates who stand by them. The book provides a roadmap to recovery and offers hope that survivors can regain their power and heal from even the most profound traumas.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Traci L Woodcock is a proud mother of two children and has worked in corporate finance as a law clerk for over 27 years. At the age of 40, she found herself trapped in an abusive relationship that escalated into stalking and rape.

‘My Husband Almost Killed Me’ is a powerful memoir of survival and resilience

VICTORIA, BC, Canada, Aug. 25, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In “My Husband Almost Killed Me” (ISBN: 978-1779626462; Released June, 2025 by Tellwell Publishing), the late author Linda Beason shares her harrowing true story of abuse, survival, and the strength to rebuild a life for herself and her children. The book has already resonated with readers worldwide, appearing on more than 1,200 reader lists on Goodreads.

BOOK: My Husband Almost Killed Me, by the late author Linda Beason
Image caption: “My Husband Almost Killed Me,” by the late author Linda Beason.

The memoir opens with the chilling words spoken by Linda’s husband: “If you ever leave me, I will kill the kids then I will kill you.” What follows is Linda’s candid account of seven years in a violent marriage that culminated in an attempt on her life.

Raised on a farm in Indiana, Linda’s early life was rooted in responsibility and resilience. She served three years in the Marine Corps before marrying her college sweetheart. But her marriage quickly unraveled into years of domestic abuse driven by alcohol and rage. After surviving his attempt to kill her, Linda fled with her three children to Florida, determined to protect them and find a new path forward.

“My Husband Almost Killed Me” not only reveals the private struggles of living with an abusive partner, but also speaks to other women who may feel trapped in similar circumstances. With honesty and courage, Linda reminds readers that even in the darkest times, there is always the possibility of choosing a different life.

Linda Beason passed away in 2024 before the book’s publication, but her words live on as a testament of resilience and hope for others facing toxic relationships.

Linda grew up in Indiana, studied at Purdue University, and worked in both agriculture and accounting for companies such as the Green Giant Company. She was also a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps. Her life story reflects not only hardship, but also perseverance, faith, and the love she carried for her family.

The Wake-Up Call: Challenging Feminism’s Impact on Dating

BURLEIGH HEADS, Queensland, July 15, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — If dating feels like one big performance review and you’re constantly trying to prove you’re good enough, this book is your permission slip to stop. Meet “Stop Hating Dating, Start Being You” (ISBN: 978-1834182261) — the bold and brutally honest read from Gold Coast–based author Sarah van Eck, which is not just shaking up the dating world but also questioning the way feminism has shaped modern love.

Book Cover: Stop Hating Dating, Start Being YOU
Image caption: Book cover, “Stop Hating Dating, Start Being YOU.”

This isn’t your average dating guide. It’s raw, real, and laugh-out-loud relatable — a wake-up call for women caught between independence and intimacy in a world that promised equality but forgot about love.

“If you’re an independent woman and you like to be in control, you don’t want to be swept off your feet. You think not doing it yourself impacts your worth,” Sarah explains.

“Our feminist progression has us steadfast in the need for equality. We wanted to have options; we wanted to show that we were more than the roles cast for us. We wanted liberation from ‘second place’ in the home. But many women are now in a position where we are not only expected to provide, we are no longer looked after.”

“You don’t need to be more perfect. You need to be more you,” Sarah says. “Be wacky, be different, and most importantly, have needs. Psychologically, women need men to be providing for them in some way to feel cared for. The man who wants to be with you, wants to meet your needs!”

Part juicy memoir, part psychological glow-up, “Stop Hating Dating, Start Being You” is for every woman who’s ever cried over a man who couldn’t text back but still liked her Instagram story.

Therapists and wellness experts are already obsessed:

“This book feels like the honest, hilarious conversation I wish I’d had with my best friend at sixteen.” — Katherine Haag, Wellness Consultant & Trauma-Informed Counsellor

“With raw honesty, empowering wisdom and humour, Sarah reminds us that the most important love story we’ll ever live is the one we write for ourselves.” — Georgie Williams, Psychologist

Sarah van Eck dove into the psychology behind why so many women feel “not enough” in love after her life-altering eating disorder diagnosis forced her to stop people-pleasing and corporate grinding.

She blends mindset reframes and psychological research with her own colourful dating history to help others finally date with self-respect.

Image caption: Scentient Launches Clean Fragrance Subscription for the Conscious Consumer.

Founded by Oxana Akkaya, a scientific researcher and mother of two, Scentient was born from a deeply personal mission: to provide beautiful, high-quality fragrances free from hidden allergens, harsh synthetics, and animal testing.

We’re here for everyone. All our scents are unisex, so subscribers can explore fragrance freely – without traditional ‘for him/for her’ labels.”

THE SUBSCRIPTION MODEL

Customers can choose between:

  • Monthly Box ($22.95): 1 curated 3-5 mL fragrance
  • Quarterly Box ($63): 3 curated 3-5 mL fragrances

Each box is designed around a seasonal theme and scent preference (Floral/Fruity, Woody/Spice, or Surprise Me), with every fragrance personally vetted and labeled by the Scentient team.

DEBUT FRAGRANCES INCLUDE:

  • Váhy – Neon Neroli: A bright, floral-citrus blend with neroli, bergamot, and creamy vanilla
  • Váhy – Tarkine: A rich woody-spice profile with nutmeg, vanilla, and vetiver
  • Quarterly box selections also feature clean scents from ESAS NYC and Orchid + Ash

All Scentient partners are chosen for their ethical practices, including IFRA compliance, cruelty-free formulation, and eco-conscious packaging.

WHY IT MATTERS

Scentient speaks to a growing demand for transparency in beauty and wellness. With ingredient safety and sensitive skin options, the brand is positioned to serve an underserved niche — people who love fragrance, but not the hidden chemicals that often come with it.

ABOUT SCENTIENT:

From the Navy to Nature: Australian Veteran Transforms Trauma into Poetry in ‘Feathers and Flame’

AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY, May 20, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Just in time for Mental Health Awareness Month, Australian veteran and debut poet Kathryn Carlisle unveils “Feathers and Flame: Poetry of Australian Landscapes and Personal Transformation” (ISBN: 978-0228811718), a moving new collection that explores emotional healing through the lens of wildlife, wilderness, and personal growth.

BOOK: Feathers and Flame, by Kathryn Carlisle
Image caption: “Feathers and Flame” by debut poet Kathryn Carlisle.

After nearly 39 years of service in the Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Air Force, Carlisle turned to poetry as a form of creative recovery. Her words draw strength from the quiet rhythms of the natural world, offering insight into the unseen struggles many veterans face and the hope found in reconnecting with nature.

“Watching birds interact, walking bush trails, being still in nature. These simple moments brought me home to myself,” says Carlisle. “Through writing, I learned to breathe again.”

Each poem in “Feathers and Flame” offers a moment of stillness. A breath of wild air. From desert plains to coastal skies, Carlisle’s reflections highlight the quiet power of presence, the wisdom of the natural world, and the journey from sorrow to self-discovery.

The book was born from Carlisle’s healing process, including her participation in the Australian Defence Force’s ARRTS Program, which supports veterans’ recovery through art, writing, and music. Her military background lends her work emotional depth, while her lifelong love of the Australian landscape roots the collection in authenticity and awe.

Available now via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo, and other major booksellers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

KATHRYN CARLISLE is a poet, veteran, and nature lover based in the ACT. Having lived in multiple states across Australia during her childhood—sometimes in a double-decker bus or caravan—she developed a deep connection to the land early on. Today, she finds inspiration in the Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve, where the landscape continues to guide her healing and creativity.

‘I Can’t Do This Anymore’: One Mom’s Shocking Journey from Dark Post-Partum Thoughts to Total Transformation

LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 7, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a raw revelation of maternal mental health struggles rarely discussed openly, wellness coach Emily Wright Mitchell has released “Better Than Before: How Overcoming Depression and Obesity Led To One Mom’s Wellness Transformation” (ISBN: 978-1964377841 [ebook]; 978-1964377834 [paperback]; Legacy Launch Pad Publishing).

BOOK: Better Than Before by wellness coach Emily Mitchell
Image caption: Cover, “Better Than Before: How Overcoming Depression and Obesity Led To One Mom’s Wellness Transformation” by Emily Wright Mitchell.

This unflinching memoir exposes the terrifying reality of severe postpartum depression that left Mitchell contemplating abandoning her family – and reveals the unexpected path that transformed her darkest moment into a complete physical and psychological rebirth.

“I can’t do this anymore,” Mitchell confessed to her husband at 3 a.m. while caring for her infant, as she details in the book. “I’ve got to get some help.” This breaking point – when she was having thoughts of leaving her baby behind – became the catalyst for an 80-pound weight loss journey and complete mental health revolution that would change everything.

The book emerged from Mitchell’s shocking realization that her lifelong destructive relationship with food – swinging between starvation diets and binge eating – had primed her body for hormonal catastrophe during pregnancy. The memoir details how years of disordered eating, beginning with diet pills and laxatives as a teenager, created the perfect storm for postpartum depression that nearly destroyed her family.

Each chapter exposes disturbing realities about women’s health that are rarely discussed, from how diet culture creates psychological trauma to the dangerous medical neglect many new mothers face. Mitchell reveals how doctors missed crucial warning signs and offered inadequate solutions while she struggled with increasingly dark thoughts.

“When my depression became too consuming, I thought that I must have done something to cause it,” Mitchell writes. “I didn’t know that paranoia is something real, and that it hinders your ability to think clearly or even do basic problem-solving for yourself.”

“Better Than Before” is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major online booksellers.

Stanford MD Reveals Game-Changing Survival Guide for Working Mothers, Arriving April 5

LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 5, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “The Fairy God Doctor’s Guide to a Good Life: A Prescription for the Working Woman” (ISBN: 978-1964377612 [paperback]; 978-1964377636 [ebook]; 978-1964377629 [hardcover]) will be emerging this April as the definitive guide for women seeking to redefine success while avoiding burnout in today’s demanding world, Legacy Launch Pad Publishing announced today.

The Fairy God Doctor’s Guide to a Good Life: A Prescription for the Working Woman
Photo Caption: “The Fairy God Doctor’s Guide to a Good Life: A Prescription for the Working Woman.”

“After losing my mother at 25 and experiencing eight miscarriages while building my medical practice, I learned that success without satisfaction is meaningless,” says author Dr. Denise S. Brown, MD. “Women are constantly told to ‘have it all,’ but nobody shows them how to actually enjoy it.”

The book arose from Brown’s observations of increasing burnout among professional women, particularly in healthcare. Despite the array of business books for women, she found none that effectively addressed how to build a legacy while maintaining personal wellbeing and family connections.

Drawing from her three decades as a physician, CEO and mother, Brown provides practical strategies for prioritizing what matters. The book combines memoir with actionable advice, offering unique insights on everything from outsourcing to self-care activities for women.

A hybrid of personal narrative and practical guide, “The Fairy God Doctor’s Guide to a Good Life” tackles mommy burnout while providing expert guidance on creating sustainable success. Through candid stories and evidence-based strategies, Brown shows women how to craft lives of meaning and achievement.

“This isn’t about perfect balance – it’s about making conscious choices that lead to real satisfaction,” Brown says. “I wrote this book to help women stop surviving and start thriving.”

“The Fairy God Doctor’s Guide to a Good Life” is on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major online booksellers. For more information, visit https://www.thefairygoddoctor.com/.
