Jaguar Luxury Beauty: The New American Beauty

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) March 14, 2009

Jaguar Luxury Beauty, a Philadelphia based beauty brand and Fairy Godmothers, Inc. have teamed up to make the 2009 prom night special for Philadelphia area teens.

With our nation facing its worst economic downturn in recent memory, teens have been especially affected by having to compete with adults for traditionally teen filled jobs. Consequently, inner city teens are having a difficult time saving money for the most memorable night of their high school years.

With the spring prom season underway, Jaguar Luxury Beauty has sponsored Fairy Godmothers, Inc, a Pennsylvania based non-profit, to help teens buy prom gowns, fashion accessories and cosmetics at a reduced cost. Gowns are $ 5 and cosmetics and accessories are $ 1-$ 2.

The Fairy Godmothers Prom Fair kicked of this past Saturday, March 7th at the Cheltenham Square Mall in the West Oak Lane Section of Philadelphia, PA. The fair continues every Saturday in March. There is no income requirement. The Prom Fair is open to high school juniors and seniors of public, private, and/or parochial schools. Students must bring a valid school id.

Joyce Jesko, President of Fairy Godmothers, Inc. had 1,000 attendees at the 2008 Prom Fair. However, they expect a 20% increase in the number of young girls seeking gowns and cosmetics at this years Prom Fair. Jaguar Luxury Beauty responded to the need with a donation of cosmetics, lip glosses, nail polish and mineral makeup to accommodate more than 1200 teenage girls.

East West Beauty and Hair Group, LP is a Philadelphia based manufacturer and importer of hair extensions, color cosmetics, lace wigs and beauty accessories. Since the conception of The Jaguar Luxury brand in January of 2007, the company has been establishing its brand and lifestyle philosophy for women in the United States. The Jaguar Luxury brand equates to high quality beauty products designed to make a woman feel sexy and sophisticated. Our belief is that women bring beauty and style to the world. So she deserves beauty products that help her feel beautiful and stylish whenever she desires.

Pierce Mattie PR Offers Tips on How to Get Exposure for Your Product During Prom Season

Category : High School Prom

Tags: , , , , , , , ,

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 7, 2008

Prom season is upon us again and as this billion dollar industry continues its surge in growth and popularity, many brands are often wondering how to reach out to the teen market and get exposure for their product. Teens are becoming savvier and demanding more than just being told the latest trends, so Pierce Mattie PR (www.piercemattie.com,) a leader in effectively utilizing both traditional and new media for brand awareness, has compiled a list of tips that goes beyond trend forecasting with advice on how to get exposure for your brand leading up to and during Prom season.

1.    Target long lead glossy magazines. In order to have your product considered for editorial in any of the teen-specific magazines, you must send your press release to the editors 3-4 months in advance. Editors are overwhelmed with product pitches daily, so make yours short & sweet and copy in an image of the product that you want to capture their attention with. Hot Prom Magazines: Prom, Your Prom, Seventeen Prom, Cosmogirl! Prom, Teen Prom.

2.    Create buzz that drives teens to your website with a unique angle or spin. A fantastic example is Duck Brand Duct Tape’s Stuck at Prom contest (www.ducktapeclub.com/contests/prom). Duck Brand Duct Tape came up with the unique idea to let creative teens design their prom attire and accessories completely out of Duck Brand Duct Tape for a chance to win a scholarship and money for their school. The result? Amazingly innovative prom gowns and tuxes that resemble realistic theater-looking attire. Duct Brand took a product that may have not otherwise been associated with Prom and presented it in a way that got teens excited, interested and spreading the word about the brand.

3.    Offer prom advice. This opens the door for just about anyone to enter the Prom arena. Whether you are a dermatologist, a hair stylist, Prom gown and accessory brand such as Jovani or Alyce Designs, makeup artist or relationship expert, teens are always looking for advice and tips on everything from taking care of their skin leading up to prom, having the gown, hair style, accessories and details that best suits their personality to Prom date advice. Whether you host the advice on your own website, promote it to online communities whose readership is the teen demographic or offer yourself up to the media as an expert, getting your name out there as a trusted source for Prom advice will drive traffic to your website and improve your brand awareness. www.PromAdvice.com, an extension of the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, is a great point of reference to start. Websites with great Prom advice: Promgirl.net, Sydney’s Closet, ThePromSite.com, PromSpot.com

4.    Go multi-media. Nothing adds more depth and dimension to your brand’s website than video or adding a podcast. Uploading the video to sites like You Tube and Revver and taking your podcast to iTunes can also help your Prom angle go viral. Multi-media brings your product to life and allows teens to use it as content on their blogs and social networking sites thus making your brand’s exposure more expansive. Using multi-media doesn’t have to be expensive, it can be as simple as using your computer or video camera to generate a media worthy product. Hot Prom sites that use multi-media: www.Loralie.com, Dresses.com, TJ Formal, Party Dress Express, www.SerendipityProm.com.    

5.    Seek out high school dot com prom sites. Many high schools are beginning to host their own prom website to give students up to date information about prom and after prom details. Contacting the school webmaster with your prom advice, contest, video or direct advertisement for their website will help bring targeted attention to your brand. Most school districts are strapped for cash these days due to educational budget cuts, so your direct ad may be a welcomed addition.

First-Time Marijuana Use Soars During Summer Months

Category : Teen Drug Abuse

Tags: , , , , ,

(PRWEB) June 21, 2005

Last week the Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy warned parents that the initiation of marijuana use increases substantially in the summer time for teens.

With data gathered from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), researchers found that first-time marijuana use among teens increases by as much as 38 percent during June, July and August as compared to the rest of the year.

In a release on the Office of National Drug Control Policy website Director John Walters exclaimed, “Parents need to be especially vigilant over the next few months and help keep their kids drug-free.” It’s a message that one of the nation’s premier drug rehabilitation and education centers has been saying on the airwaves since May.

Dedicated staff members working at Narconon Arrowhead continue to help educate parents and kids across the nation through every outlet possible; proclaiming that while school is out a lack of activity for young people can lead to alcohol and drug use. They also focus on specific drugs of abuse, such as marijuana, to provide truth about these harmful substances and the cycle of addiction.

This message was confirmed by SAMHSA information that showed teens who reported that they were “often bored” were 50 percent more likely to smoke, drink, get drunk and use illegal drugs than teens who weren’t bored.

“ThatÂ’s how I started getting drunk when I was in high school,” recalls a graduate of the Narconon® program, “During the summer I would go out drinking with friends because we didnÂ’t feel like there was anything else to do. Little did I know that IÂ’d end up dropping out of college, nearly taking my own life and going to rehab.”

According to Narconon Arrowhead’s Director of Public Promotion Jason Willoughby, “Every day we try to help parents keep their kids away from alcohol and drugs and offer solutions for their problems.” Willoughby, a former radio DJ, decided to join the team at Narconon Arrowhead to help make a positive difference in society. He and other staff members spend several hours per week conducting radio interviews on stations throughout the U.S.

Narconon Arrowhead is one of the largest and most successful drug rehabilitation and education programs in the country and it uses the proven drug-free methodology developed by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. The unique program is highly successful in its approach to creating a world without drug abuse.

The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign is also offering solutions for parents this summer. On their website www.TheAntiDrug.com adults can learn how to prevent their children from using marijuana or other drugs and can help them plan activities for their children throughout the summer.

For more information about Narconon Arrowhead and its life-saving programs and campaigns call 1-800-468-6933 or log on to www.stopaddiction.com.

Book Offers Help for Parents Struggling with Difficult Teens During the Upcoming Holidays

Strained Relations: Help for Struggling Parents of Troubled Teens


Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) December 8, 2009

Many parents dread the holiday season as they struggle with troubled teens who tune them out and engage in dangerous activities, leaving the parents worried and isolated. Rather than celebrating the holiday season, parents are concerned about teens abusing drugs and alcohol, committing crimes, dropping-out and running away from home.

Marcia Stein PHR said, “The holiday season brings out unrealistic expectations about family life and can be painful for parents dealing with troubled teens. It’s easy to feel isolated, that you’re a failure as a parent, but the truth is that many parents dealing with teens’ extreme behaviors feel they’re at the end of their rope. Some problems can be managed with improved parenting skills and others require professional help.”

“Many teens have such severe issues they literally do not have any family ties. It’s heartbreaking for families.” Stein said. “We have to work on the problems by first shedding light on them and then working through the issues when we can. Not all teens and parents can find an immediate cure, sometimes the teen needs to make his or her mistakes and grow from them. Parents need information and resources and have to find a way to be patient and cope.”

The author of a recently published book, Strained Relations: Help for Struggling Parents of Troubled Teens, Stein interviewed parents and professionals, obtaining stories, resources and information for parents and those in the role of parents. Stein created a blog with resources and observations about parenting difficult teens, and the community is invited to contribute. A sample of the book is available for download at www.tellmeaboutyourself.info/index_files/Strained_Relations.htm.

About Marcia Stein, PHR

Marcia is a Human Resources Consultant and has experienced parenting a difficult child. The author of Strained Relations: Help for Struggling Parents of Troubled Teens, her book provides life stories from parents and professionals who work with parents and teens and a resource list to help them.
