AQUA Salon Spa Launches “Beauty From the Heart” For Children With Alopecia










Raleigh, North Carolina (PRWEB) December 15, 2011

During the month of December, Aqua Salon Spa of Raleigh, and Roszetta Pringle, Med-Hair Loss Specialist, are appealing to the public for donations to help a child pay for the cost of a hair prosthesis. AQUA has committed a portion of proceeds from client services in December to help the fund. “Giving back to the community is important, and we are committed”. The goal is to enhance inner and outer beauty, to restore self-esteem and inspire hope. Area businesses have also graciously supported Beauty from the Heart by devoting time, services and products to recipients.

Aqua Salon Spa has joined with various community partners to help diminish the emotional impact of Alopecia (hair loss) on young children and teens. Hair loss is most often attributed to serious medical conditions such as diabetes, lupus, burns, medical scarring and chemotherapy. When trying to cope with a traumatic illness, family support is essential to the healing process. But even family members don’t always understand the emotional devastation that occurs when you lose your hair. They say things like, “don’t worry, your hair will grow back” or many times, they just don’t know what to say. For children, especially teens, already coping with intense peer pressure, it could be devastating.

Beauty From The Heart, A Life Changing Experience

Adrianna is a brave, strong teenager suffering from hair loss due to a medical condition. She expressed to her mother how embarrassed she was about losing her hair. She asked her mother to help find a solution. Adrianna’s mother inquired at Duke University Hospital and was referred to Roszetta at Aqua Salon Spa. Roszetta, Aqua Salon and community partner Adore Boutique in Raleigh, treated Adrianna to a day of pampering, which included hair prosthesis, style, manicure, pedicure and a beautiful dress. Beauty From The Heart welcomes referrals for other children in need of hair prosthesis.

Recession Lingers–Forget Happy; Try Just a Little Bit Better. Better Because Global Movement Launches With Smiles & Inspirational Stories













Inspired by the Dalai Lama, Ginny Hutchinson and Cathy Haffner Launch Better Because Global Movement


Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 2, 2009

Something contagious is in the air, and we’re not talking about the flu. The good for your health Better Because movement is taking off, led by former bankers Ginny Hutchinson and Cathy Haffner.

A year ago the two pals, moms, and self proclaimed “rat racers”, Ginny (age 49, Seattle) and Cathy (age 47, San Antonio) jumped ship from their Fortune 100 careers to launch Better Because where in just a few weeks over 4,000 folks have friended them on Facebook and sent in their smiles and stories from around the globe of what their life is “better because of” today. Kate’s Paperie has snapped-up the duo’s book, “Better Because of You” and Nordstrom will carry it for the holidays. Proceeds from book sales support “Room to Read”, a non-profit that builds libraries for children in need in Asia and Africa.

In NYC, cosmetic genius Trish McEvoy just read their book and ordered 50 more to give to her friends. In Seattle, Union Bank Mortgage Consultant Aaron Tyler purchased 32 books for each of his co-workers and couldn’t believe the response– just the cover put a smile on their faces.

Cathy who went from being a baby living in a bamboo hut in the Philippines, to rocking a Fortune 100 career, was driven to ditch it after seeing the terrifying impact of teen depression in her own daughter’s life. Ginny, a CMO and mountain climber, was moved to tears by the Dalai Lama.

The duo’s message? “In these tough times happiness may be tough to achieve, but all of us can do just a little bit better.”

“Bombarded by depressing news on a daily basis about the economy, teen depression, and more, we’re taking positive action,” states Haffner. “We’ve been inspired by so many people who do small things each day to better enjoy life. Now, we’re on a mission to propel a positive movement based on simple ways, like sharing a smile, to make life just a little bit better.”

Priced under $ 25 and perfect for holiday gift giving, “Better Because of You” offers true life stories that provide the reader with “bite-sized” tips and inspirational quotes to make a big difference in their life. Hutchinson explains, “We’re here to ignite an inspiring and fun groundswell that illustrates how just one individual can be an irresistible force for positive change.”

In addition to the release of their book the company also is launching a line of Better Because merchandise, developing a film, and is in the planning stages of creating a television series examining commonalities between happy people the world around.

Shmoop Launches AP Environmental Science Guide











Shmoop’s AP Environmental Science Guide

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) January 09, 2012

Shmoop, a publisher of digital curriculum and test prep, announces today the launch of a new AP Environmental Science learning guide to help students prepare for the exam.

Environmental science is all about learning how to fix the planet’s problems, whether humans caused them or not. If a student is in the mood to get guilt-tripped by a class, or just wants to help make this world a better place, they’re probably taking the AP Environmental Science exam (or APES, for those who think better in primate acronyms).

In addition to an overview that prepares the diligent for the length, content, and format of the test, the Shmoop guide to APES explores each topic on the exam in incredible detail. For now, here’s a brief overview of each subject:

●    Earth Systems and Resources. Volcanoes. Soil. Rocks. Those big ocean things. What has been here for millions of years, and what will be here for millions more?

●    The Living World. Ecosystems are ecointeresting. (Bada boom.) Learn the ins and outs of biological populations and the process of natural selection.

●    Population. People are growing—not just individually (although that much is terrifyingly true), but as a species. How long can humans keep consuming resources and destroying habitats before our species runs out of potatoes to slather with oil?

●    Land and Water Use. Have a conversation about conservation. H2Oh no…

●    Energy Resources and Consumption. Why don’t fossil fuels live in a museum? What are the safest and most effective alternatives to using these limited resources? Shmoop is thinking Soylent Green…but that’s people, so maybe not.

●    Pollution. Learn ways how we can clean up our collective act—and our planet.

●    Global Change. Is it getting hot in herrrrrre? No? Just Shmoop?

Throughout the guide, Shmoop will answer some of your most burning questions:

●    How does a student separate Mesozoic from Cenozoic?

●    How are scientists trying to genetically modify organisms? And will this engineering give pigs the penchant for flight they’ve always dreamed of?

●    Why do humans need more than 1,200 varieties of banana? Exactly how big can that Chiquita woman’s hat get?

●    What does Black Friday have to do with survival of the fittest? Is this about getting in line early so teenagers can be sure to snag the new Xbox?

Get the answers—and get in the (o)zone—with Shmoop’s new guide to AP Environmental Science.

About Shmoop

Shmoop is a digital curriculum and test prep company that makes fun, rigorous learning and teaching materials.

The events that unfold are a mystery and adventure plot where Justin, Spencer, and Justin’s new friend Shalah embark on an adventure to bring the criminals to justice.

TeenForce Launches Jobs Program For Youth In Foster Care

TeenForce Launches Jobs Program For Youth In Foster Care












Los Gatos, CA (PRWEB) June 07, 2011

TeenForce, a non profit organization dedicated to employment opportunities for youth, and The Terraces of Los Gatos, a retirement community in Los Gatos, today announced a unique partnership to provide part-time work opportunities for Silicon Valley youth in foster care.

Seven workers, including five living in foster care, have been hired through TeenForce to work at the Terraces. TeenForce workers will provide resident assistance, administrative support and food service at the facility. For most of the teens, the assignment at the Terraces will be their first paying job.

“TeenForce is a terrific resource that provides the business community with well-prepared young workers who can make an immediate and positive contribution,” said Alex Candalla, executive director of The Terraces. “We’re particularly pleased to be providing opportunities for teenagers who are leaving the foster care system and starting out on their own.”    

TeenForce collaborated with EMQ FamiliesFirst (EMQFF) of Campbell and Silicon Valley Children’s Fund (SVCF) of San Jose to identify foster care job candidates for the positions. EMQFF is California’s largest provider of behavioral health services for children in crisis and serves 60 foster youth in Santa Clara County. SVCF is focused on improving outcomes for foster youth, primarily by ensuring that they receive the proper educational support through middle school, high school and post-secondary education.

“Only 25% of all foster youth considers attending college or a vocational program,” said Elise Cutini, executive director of the Silicon Valley Children’s Fund. “TeenForce has been an outstanding partner in advancing the mission of the Silicon Valley Children’s Fund and creating employment opportunities for young people that will serve them well in the future.”

To prepare workers, TeenForce, The Terraces and both agencies created a job readiness program that included workplace safety, etiquette and financial skills training. Working through EMQFF and SVCF, TeenForce interviewed and chose six foster youth from the East Side Union High School District of San Jose. TeenForce received a $ 50,000 grant from The Valley Foundation to help finance this pilot program.

“Teens in foster care struggle with enormous challenges,” said Roberto Favela, vice president of Administration and Foster Care and Adoption Services at EMQ FamiliesFirst. “They don’t have a parent or older sibling who can teach them the skills for landing and keeping that first job. The experience they’ll have through TeenForce will help them personally and professionally for the rest of their lives.”

The program for the Terraces is the latest success for TeenForce, which currently provides young adult workers to 31 companies in Silicon Valley. Since it was founded in 2010, TeenForce has placed 72 teens in jobs, totaling 7,946 hours. Those teens have been paid $ 73,383 in wages.

“TeenForce was launched to help youth of all backgrounds gain work experience,” said TeenForce founder and CEO John Hogan. “Our partnership with the Terraces and both agencies is the first of its kind, and we invite other employers to join with us to create employment opportunities for young people.”

About TeenForce

Based in Los Gatos, TeenForce works with local businesses to create job opportunities for teens and young adults. TeenForce was founded in 2010 to reduce the barriers to teen employment and provide young people with a wide range of work experience, including summer internships, part-time and full-time employment. TeenForce is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is funded by grants, community and individual donations, and placement fees from employers. For more information about TeenForce, or to provide a work opportunity for local youth, please contact John Hogan at 408.827.3078 or johnhogan(at)teenforce(dot)org.

CathayGems Launches New Freshwater Pearl Colors for Teens

CathayGems Launches New Freshwater Pearl Colors for Teens










San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 28, 2010

For teenagers, being ‘cool’ is what counts, and until recently most wouldn’t be caught dead wearing pearls. That’s changing with the wide variety of colors now available that mesh with teen fashion sense and style. In response to a growing interest from the under twenty crowd, CathayGems.com is releasing two new freshwater pearls colors designed to appeal specifically to teens looking to make an impression.

“You have to be aware of what’s going on with the younger generations, because that is your future customer base,” explains Lan Toma, spokesperson for the online freshwater pearl wholesaler. “We try to stay abreast with trends in the teen fashion world. The new colors reflect those trends.”

The colors in question are a clear, deep cranberry and a fresh, dusky green. While pearls are traditionally thought of as cream or white, CathayGems carries a full range of shades from pink and mauve to chocolate brown and deep black.

“Teens like to make a statement with their jewelry,” Toma says. “These two newest colors will let them do that in a kind of sophisticated way – you see the glint of rich color and then realize it’s a pearl, and it’s kind of a cool contrast to a lot of what’s out there.”

With fall approaching, another possible market opens up for CathayGems.com’s new pearl colors – seasonal weddings are often colorful affairs, and the cranberry and green colors would work equally well for a fall or winter wedding event.

“You see wedding processions in the second half of the year that depend heavily on similar colors for everything from bridesmaid dresses to sashes to décor,” says Lan Toma. “Imagine all the bridesmaids having matching cranberry earrings and necklaces at a Christmas wedding. The possibilities for these new colors are endless.”

The new colors will be available for order on all of CathayGems.com’s regular and specialty pearl jewelry orders starting immediately.

http://www.Cathaygems.com is a branch of C.D. Plus, Inc., an established California corporation, which serves the wholesale and retail industries with freshwater pearls and fine pearl jewelry directly from pearl farms and operates an in-house manufacturing unit. Its headquarters are in San Diego with offices in China and representatives worldwide. The organization has an impeccable record with the BBB. For more information, log on to http://www.cathaygems.com or call Lan Toma, spokesperson, at (619) 405-8044.
