MEDIA ALERT: More than $15 Million Raised Toward Permanent Protection of Lost Coast Redwoods Property

Save the Redwoods League

Save the Redwoods League has raised more than $15 million since it announced plans to purchase Lost Coast Redwoods. The 3,181-acre property spans 5 miles of rugged, undeveloped Northern California coastline in Mendocino County, and it has an expansive coast redwood forest of more than 2,250 acres. “We are inspired by the outpouring of generosity and enthusiasm for protecting Lost Coast Redwoods, a place that will be an iconic part of California’s landscape for generations to come,” said Sam Hodder, president and CEO of Save the Redwoods League. “Raising $15 million from supporters from across the country in a matter of weeks is a record for our organization. But we can’t rest on our laurels just yet. I invite everyone who shares our commitment to a healthy future for the redwoods and the California coast to help us reach this ambitious goal by December 31st.” Save the Redwoods League secured an agreement to purchase the Lost Coast Redwoods property for $36.9 million, and it is seeking to raise a total of $43.4 million in public and private funding in support of the acquisition, restoration and stewardship of the property. News of this rare opportunity has inspired thousands of individuals across the U.S. and from six different countries, including New Zealand, Ecuador, Canada, Great Britain and Australia to make contributions towards the purchase. Several supporters have made commitments of $1 million or more. Fundraising will continue through and beyond December 31. The property supports abundant habitat for coho salmon and steelhead trout, culturally and ecologically important species that are protected under the Endangered Species Act. This property is also home to Roosevelt elk, black-tailed deer and mountain lions. Offshore, the recently designated Double Cone Rock State Marine Conservation Area buffers this sensitive coastline and protects sea lions and other marine life along the 5 miles of undeveloped beach. The islands offshore, including Vizcaino Rock, support more than 11,500 nesting sea birds. To donate and learn more about the Lost Coast Redwoods property, please visit the League’s website. * * * About Save the Redwoods League One of the nation’s longest-running conservation organizations, Save the Redwoods League has been protecting and restoring redwood forests since 1918. The League has connected generations of visitors with the beauty and serenity of the redwood forest. The nonprofit’s 29,000 supporters have enabled the organization to protect more than 216,000 acres of irreplaceable forest in 66 state, national and local parks and reserves.

What You Need to Know About Dating in 2022

YourUpdateTV

Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, has revealed 2022’s dating trends ahead of Dating Sunday, also known as the first Sunday of the new year and one of the busiest days for the online dating industry. Recently, Shan Boodram, Sex and Relationship Expert at Bumble, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss dating trends and what people can expect in the New Year. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/7FH9VJpcN-o According to Bumble’s latest study, the New Year will bring about: Explori-dating: The pandemic has made almost half of us (48%) question what our ‘type’ is. Looking ahead to 2022, more than 1 in 3 people on Bumble would describe their approach to dating as exploratory (43%) and more than one-third (34%) of respondents in the U.S. say they are more open to exploring a relationship with someone who lives in another city. Consciously Single: 2022 is all about finding that someone, not just anyone. The pandemic has made half of us (53%) realize that it’s OK to be alone for a while. Dry Dating: Throughout the pandemic, many have changed their relationship to alcohol and adopted new drinking habits. In fact, 1 in 3 (34%) people globally are now more likely to consider going on a ‘dry date’ than they were before the pandemic. “Dating Sunday” is known as the first Sunday of the new year and one of the busiest days for the online dating industry. Last year, Bumble saw that the highest volume of messages in the US were exchanged between early January and before Valentine’s Day. This time period has traditionally been a busy season for online dating as people re-merge from the holidays and get ready to find a new partner just in time for Valentine’s Day. Here are some tips on updating your profile: Make your first photo stand out. Showing off your smile, your eyes (without sunglasses), and your whole face (without a Snapchat filter) makes a positive first impression. Make sure it's only you in this first photo. It's great to include photos with your friends too, but you want your potential matches to know just who it is they'll be swiping on when they land on your profile. Add interests and badges to highlight your likes, hobbies and passions. Don’t be too serious. Dating should be fun and exciting, so let your personality show! Less is not more. Don’t leave your profile blank! This is your opportunity to show off your amazing sense of humor and let your next potential match get to know a little bit about you. Everyone loves a funny, memorable profile. Remember to keep it positive! Asking a question in your profile that a potential match can answer as their first message to you is always a good idea. Ask a trusted BFF for advice: Sometimes we can be our own worst critics, and our friends can help us see things we might miss. Ask them how they might describe you, or the things about you that stand out the most. Allow your closest confidantes to take a look at your camera roll or Instagram and help select some great photos, too. For more information, visit Bumble.com or download the app in the App Store and Google Play. About Shan Boodram: Shan Boodram is a certified sex educator, dating coach and intimacy expert. Boodram is host of the top podcast, "Lovers and Friends," the best-selling author of “The Game of Desire,” resident expert on Netflix's “Too Hot to Handle,” and currently stars in Peacock’s new show “Ex-Rated with Andy Cohen". She is an ambassador for AIDS Healthcare Foundation and WomensHealth.gov, and a member of the American Sexual Health Association. About Bumble app: Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, was founded by CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd in 2014. Bumble connects people across dating (Bumble Date), friendship (Bumble BFF) and professional networking (Bumble Bizz). No matter the type of relationship, women make the first move on Bumble. Bumble is built on the importance of equitable relationships and how crucial they are to a healthy, happy life. They've built their platform around kindness, respect, and equality – and their community plays an important part in that. Bumble holds its users accountable for their actions and has zero tolerance for hate, aggression, or bullying. Bumble is free and available worldwide in the App Store and Google Play.

Holiday Gifting & Preparation

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/JR9Mz8XHr4g The countdown is on as holiday shoppers continue to spend in record numbers. According to the latest stats, online sales have reached close to 110-billion dollars since November 1 st. That’s a lot of searching, finding, and buying. Beauty & Lifestyle Expert, Anna De Souza has come up with a few of her favorite finds for the favorite people in your life. FITNESS: The National Retail Federation finds the average consumer will spend close to $1,000 on gifts and other purchases. De Souza says there’s no need to stress. As a mom of twin toddlers, she’s done all the heavy lifting, stating, “It’s hard to get a workout in other than muscling them up three flights of stairs.” The Lifestyle expert has found one gift that she deems “smart and compact.” The Tempo Move helps give the experience and results of working with a personal trainer by offering real-time feedback, weight recommendations, and a training plan, and this full gym takes up only a tiny footprint as a sleek cabinet. De Souza continues, “As you work out, Tempo Move tracks your reps, form, weight – even the speed of your reps – and the artificial intelligence customizes a workout smarter than any human ever could.” Tempo Move comes with 50 pounds of smart weights and connects through your phone and TV for a fully immersive workout experience that favors effort over time. For more information, visit https://www.tempo.fit/shop/move. Facebook: @GetTempo Instagram: @tempo Twitter: @TrainWithTempo COOKING: Reports show that a few retailers have gotten a lift from cooking trends. De Souza points out that so much time is spent with family and friends in the kitchen. She asks, “Why not make some new memories while making some delicious meals?” The Lifestyle expert recommends picking up an air fryer, because now consumers are finally able to cook two dishes that can be synchronized to serve at the exact same time. The CRUXGG TriZone 9 Quart Air Fryer was voted Best Air Fryer of 2021 by Esquire. It’s engineered with patent-pending technology that features one extra-large cooking area that can be divided into two – so chicken fingers for the kids and salmon for you, or an entrée and a side – served hot and crispy together so you don’t need to microwave the straggler dish! CRUXGG just launched 8 products exclusively at Target which will be 30% off through the holidays. De Souza also highlights the brand’s Rotating Ceramic Nonstick Waffle Maker, that makes 5 one-inch Belgian waffles in under 10 minutes. She says it’s perfect for holiday mornings. “CRUXGG is also a purchase you can feel good about,” De souza adds, because 5% of proceeds go to a collective of nonprofits working to end food insecurity. For more information, go to https://www.target.com/p/cruxgg-6-in-1-9qt-air-fryer-with-trizone-technology/-/A-85017063?preselect=82541621#lnk=sametab. Social Media Channels: @crux.kitchen @ghettogastro Hashtags: #createwithcrux #targetstyle BEAUTY: As a beauty expert, De Souza has a few ideas for consumers that want to look and feel their best this holiday season and into the new year. She starts off with a holiday gift set from OLEHENRIKSEN. “You’ve probably heard of banana powder as a celebrity makeup artist secret to brighten that dark undereye area,” De Souza says, “The Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum with 15% Vitamin C is clinically proven to give you brighter, bouncier skin in 7 days without makeup. With other brands, shoppers usually get 3% vitamin C in topicals if you’re lucky. You’re also getting C-Rush Brightening Gel Crème, which gives you a full 24-hours of moisture and a color-correcting Banana Bright Eye Crème.” As a beauty expert, De Souza has been covering beauty for many years. She says if there is one product to horde, it’s Vitamin C. For more information, go to https://www.olehenriksen.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/olehenriksen/ Instagram: @olehenriksen Another gift idea De Souza recommends became this year’s viral foundation launch and sold out multiple times when TikTokers showed off the texture and coverage after just one swipe on the cheek. De Souza says, “The KVD Beauty’s Good Apple Skin-Perfecting Foundation Balm is unlike any texture I’ve felt before, it glides on like a buttery balm, but it’s surprising when you see it apply as full coverage with a velvety finish that doesn’t crease!” It’s formulated with hydrating apple extract and available in 40 inclusive shades. Holiday shoppers can use code ANNA20 at KVDVeganBeauty.com for 20% off or pick it up at Ulta or Sephora. For more information, visit http://kvdveganbeauty.com/.

Last-Minute Holiday Gifting

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/pc75McGSy5Q The holiday scramble is something many consumers know all too well. Whether they’ve procrastinated on shopping or are crossing off the final names on their lists, Emmy-Award Winning Television Host and Lifestyle Expert, Marisa Brahney has compiled a last-minute gift list to help those looking for presents ahead of the big day. DELIVERED GIFTS: As of December 1 st, consumers have completed less than 45% of their holiday shopping. Brahney says now is not the time to worry. Whether you’re looking to send something locally or across the country, it can be done via DoorDash’s Gifting Feature in a flash, or pre-scheduled for a drop on a special day. The lifestyle expert points out that there are many gifts to choose from, like floral bouquets, homegoods, self-care, desserts, and wine, to name a few. Brahney recommends DoorDash’s new Nationwide Shipping, where holiday shoppers can also order from iconic restaurants and retailers across the country. To gift someone, she says, “Simply open up your DoorDash or Caviar app and enter their address. Browse the list of stores — find the perfect gift — then, on the checkout page, click “send as a gift” to turn any order into a gift. Finally, share the link with your loved one so they can track the delivery.” For more information, go to doordash.com or trycaviar.com or download the apps to a mobile device. GIFT OF KNOWING EACH OTHER BETTER: Empty shelves can spell trouble for many last-minute gifters. That’s why Brahney says her list is perfect for those searching for something special for loved ones. The lifestyle expert says this time of year is perfect for reconnecting and spending time with friends and family, adding, “Now’s the time to really get to know one another.” She highlights Ancestry on her last-minute shopping list. “They are helping families learn more about each other by connecting them to family history, and billions of historical records, so they can build more meaningful connections to each other and their heritage.” AncestryDNA is a best-selling kit that makes it possible for people to find their unique story — from precise geographic regions to the most connections to living relatives. For more information, go to ancestry.com/dna to learn more. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ancestry TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ancestry Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ancestry CASH GIFTS & MONEY MANAGEMENT: Brahney says now is the time to really think about less traditional gifts, along with keeping track of your payments. “Managing spending and payments is very important this time of year, especially if you’re going in on a gift with others,” says the lifestyle expert. With PayPal and Venmo, consumers can manage group expenses with digital payments — be it brunches with friends or chipping in for a group gift. PayPal also allows shoppers to send a free digital greeting and attach a gift of money so recipients can spend however they’d like, which is perfect for that last minute gift. Additionally, new PayPal customers can earn five dollars just by downloading the app, signing up, and adding a payment method, and new Venmo customers can also earn ten dollars when they sign up for a new account. Sign up online or download the PayPal or Venmo apps through the Apple or Google Play app stores. For more information, visit https://www.paypal.com/ or https://venmo.com/. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paypal/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/venmo/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/PayPal https://twitter.com/Venmo GIFT OF POWER: At this point, most consumers are aware of supply chain issues, however, there is another top concern Brahney says many often forget about each year. “In the rush to get the perfect present, many of us forget the batteries. Duracell Optimum batteries are my go-to.” The lifestyle expert says battery-operated gifts are likely on a holiday list, adding, more than 1 of 5 toys on major retailer gift guides are battery operated! “When that ever-important gifting moment comes, you’re going to want to include the batteries that let those gifts truly shine.” A recent survey finds the majority of parents agree that the most important battery-operated toys and gifts should always be given with the best, longest-lasting batteries. “For me, if a gift is worth giving, it's worth giving what I think are the best batteries – Duracell,” advises Brahney. For more information, visit Duracell.com. Shoppers can find Duracell’s family of batteries at their favorite retailer. Facebook: @duracell Instagram: @duracell Twitter: @duracell GIFT OF FLAVOR: The last gift idea on Brahney’s list is chocolate. She says, “It’s perfect for loved ones or colleagues.” Lindt, the world-renowned Swiss chocolatier, has an extensive holiday collection, including chocolate figures perfect for stocking stuffers and seasonal chocolate gift sets. However, the lifestyle expert recommends the brand’s holiday classic, LINDOR truffles. These iconic truffles with a smooth center surrounded by a delicate chocolate shell were developed more than 50 years ago, and the round shape was originally designed for people to use as holiday decorations. She points out that they’re available in classic milk chocolate and other seasonal flavors, in festive bags or gift boxes.

Hi-Tech Holiday Gift Guide

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/8TiX7QwCt14 With the holiday hustle and bustle in full swing, many U.S. consumers are still struggling to find the perfect tech gifts for our loved ones. A new study from the Consumer Technology Association found that this season’s tech sales will hit $142.5 billion. Tech Expert, Dave King has a few ideas to help shoppers score this year’s hottest gadgets and gear. TECH & SELF-CARE: Tech has helped transform aspects of our daily lives, including fitness, productivity, and mindfulness. One area King is excited to talk about is oral care. The Oral-B iO Series 8 combines powerful, but gentle micro-vibrations with a unique dentist-inspired round brush head design for a professional clean feeling every day. The Smart Pressure Sensor helps to keep people from brushing too hard to protect their gums and enamel. AI Recognition, plus an interactive display, helps guide brushers to their best clean for all areas of the mouth. A 2-minute quadrant timer comes built-in that pulsates every 30 seconds, ensuring a complete clean. King adds, “The frictionless, smooth magnetic drive system transfers energy to the bristle tips for spectacular clean teeth.” The Oral-B iO Series 8 is available at oralb.com and all major retailers. For more information, visit https://oralb.com/en-us/products/electric-toothbrushes/oral-b-io-series-8-electric-toothbrush-black-onyx/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=&utm_term=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtrSLBhCLARIsACh6RmiEbq-V4oACt4hbQA_DLBSabI5mKHcPOutf6QUoarstrWysIoViKx4aAroYEA. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oralb Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oralb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/OralB UP YOUR PROFESSIONAL GAME WITH TECH GEAR: All signs are pointing to remote work persisting and trending permanent for many American businesses. King says we’ve learned so much about managing hybrid and remote work over the past year-and-a-half. “At this point, it’s really time to up our professional games to look and sound our very best,” highlights King. The tech expert recommends the Poly Studio P5 kit with Sync 20, a high-performance webcam optimized for video conferencing with 1080p resolution that works with any cloud-based video platform such as Zoom and Teams – paired with the Poly Sync 20 smart speakerphone to deliver a premium audio experience. This pro-grade kit is the perfect choice for the remote or hybrid worker in your life. These tech items are available through Poly.com, Amazon, Best Buy, and other major retailers. For more information, visit https://www.poly.com/us/en/shop/holiday-promotions. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PolyCompany/ Twitter: @PolyCompany Instagram: @PolyCompany Hashtags: #PolySync #PolyStudio UPGRADE - FOCUS ON PRODUCTIVITY & EFFICIENCY: King says there are other ways tech can be used to increase work from home productivity and efficiency. One of his top recommendations is to upgrade everyday gadgets to something special. One of the tech expert’s favorite finds is the Happy Hacking Keyboard (HHKB) from Fujitsu Computer Products of America. He says it has an incredible following of loyal programmers, developers, and coders all over the world. “I like it’s compact, highly-customizable design and connectivity options,” adds King. The HHKB comes in three different models, two different colors — ivory and charcoal, and with either stamped or blank keys. One keyboard King highlights is the Professional HYBRID Type-S. “This keyboard is ideal for people working from home, programmers, and all computer pros. Its exclusive use of Topre silent switches provides supreme tactility, extra comfort and keystroke precision eliminating keyboard clacking,” King continues, “It’s also compact — 60% of the size of standard keyboards — and features Bluetooth compatibility so users can connect to smartphones, tablets and more.” The Professional HYBRID Type-S is available on Amazon.com or at HHKeyboard.us. For more information, visit https://hhkeyboard.us/. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hhkbUS/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hhkb_realforce_us/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HHKB_RF_US RESEARCH & REVIEW: A record 191 million U.S. adults plan to purchase tech items this holiday season. King says consumers can make sure they’re getting the right gift at the best price. Another one of his recommendations is to stay calm and focused. Additionally, it’s important to rely on great reviews to manage shopping expectations. King turns to the community at Slickdeals. “No one is selling anything. The service is about shoppers helping shoppers,” says the tech expert. “It’s the only shopping platform powered by millions of real people who are out there discovering, sharing, and vetting the best deals.” The site, apps, browser extension, and new loyalty program have millions of users who connect and discover the very best deals from all the top retailers, like Walmart and Amazon. King says this is important, “So you can know if you're actually getting the best product at the best price,” adding, “It’s like having 12 million friends help you understand where the best deals on the best products are happening. If you’re shopping for something specific, set a deal alert, so you’re notified when something matching your criteria gets posted.” To find reviews, go to https://slickdeals.net/.
