Alicia Keys: Artist Giant. Beauty Brand Giant. Art Investor Giant. Mom Giant. Wife Giant...Just A Giant

Brooklyn is one of the toughest demographics ever. It just is. 

It's especially sore these years with all of the "New Brooklyn" things that have happened before and since COVID and that continue to transpire. 

But Brooklyn has shown love for GIANTS. 

Giants is an art exhibit that just left Brooklyn--the Brooklyn Museum to be exact. 

It's now in Atlanta and will be for a nice, hot minute. 

The Atlanta artists, corporate types, and regular ATLiens are super ready to see some SOUL moving expressions:  the VIP Pre-Party is a highly anticipated event (priced at $550 per) 

Attendees get to network with the creme de la creme of art investors, art admin, and artists with the ticket purchase. 

We want to be on the list for sure! 

Also, we're wondering if swag bags will include any Soul Care beauty goodies! 

We heart that Alicia has added makeup in addition to skincare and bodycare. We're not mad if the tickets only include the commemorative coffee table-esque catalog executive produced in Brooklyn by the Brooklyn Museum. A true treasure that will be a fine inclusion to any library!

 

NYFW Faves

 This Michael Kors ensemble is a fave. We love a two-piece moment. For. Sure!

Tattoo Care Brand Stories & Ink Secures $1.6M Investment

Stories & Ink has raised $1.6 million in funding to support its next phase of growth. The funding is from a mix of new and existing investors.

 

The funding is from a mix of new and existing investors, including The Emerson Group, a retail distributor with Crown Laboratories, L’Oréal and Yellow Wood Partners on its client roster. Aimed at drawing the nearly 40% of American women with tattoos and those without them who expect to get inked in the future, the tattoo care brand will use it to drive retail, marketing and product development efforts with the goal of increasing sales from a projected roughly $2.5 million this year to $5 million in 18 months.

“Generation tattoo is here to stay, and we have a unique opportunity to pioneer this category,” says Stu Jolley, founder of Stories & Ink, which has a customer base that’s 65% female. “It’s our job to pave the way and to champion the female consumer, and we are hell bent on blurring the category between beauty and tattoo.”

Summer Pretty Prep with Relive Health Center

 

Beauty has a new face.

From clay masks and bubble bath evenings into aromatic massage and acupuncture at luxury, aesthetic social salons, the beauty industry has exploded with the inclusion of wellness categories. 

The now constantly compounding industry has financially skyrocketed since the onset of COVID and its mandates to stay well while staying in. 

Self-care is promoted as a necessity for not only glowing physical beauty. It's also deemed a must for mental and emotional well-being. 

May is mental health awareness month.

There are a variety of services to add to self-care practice routines to keep your health at an optimum. 

Whether you are travelling or at home, chances are there's a Relive Health Center near you or with a planned ground-breaking.

We stopped into the beautiful Sandy Springs location recently for the center's grand opening after receiving an invitation from The Luxe List Atlanta - a premiere pr and event planning curator of exclusive, luxury experiences. This second Relive Atlanta location is just a few breathable steps away from the very busy Phipps and Lenox Simon Malls Buckhead district--a favorite playground of Atlanta A-Listers in the sports, music, and now movie industries.

The location's leadership team authentically and warmly welcomed guests with smiles and information about the assortment of treatments on the center's treatment menu. 

Globally, the wellness industry is solidly set to garner over a trillion dollars in 2027. While nationally, the most current stats report $450 billion earnings, according to the businessoffashion.com. Those are a lot of important reasons to respect this industry.

So, want the deets on some of the therapies that keep that co-worker, that girl in VIP, and that guy at the gym glowingly gorgeous if not enviable?

 

Some of the most popular services Relive healthcare professionals--which include board-certified doctors--are often serving the following: 

IV Therapy

IV therapy options include tailored intravenous infusions. This is a combination of B vitamins and essential amino acids for energy. This option also helps with hydration.

Ozone Infusion Therapy

This natural compound of Ozone supports healing and rejuvenation for immune wellness and oxygen utilization for improved energy and decreased inflammation.

Hydrafacial

This trend in esthetics is a non-invasive approach to deeply cleaning the skin. This facial can be customized with treatments such as lymphatic drainage. 

Besides a la carte services, memberships are available for efficient bundling of your choice of regular beauty and wellness services to keep or achieve that Spring and Summer beauty aesthetic.  

The center's founder Dr. Domenic Iacovone founded Relive Health in 2017 to assist clients with long term health and wellness goals.

Nearly 20 centers are currently open nationwide. Another 800 are planned. Current locations include centers in New Jersey, Maryland, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Minnesota.
