Las exquisitas botellas de cristal inspiradas en STEM y el embalaje ecológico y sostenible, hacen de Benigna Parfums una nueva y excitante marca de lujo que no puede dejar de lado

WASHINGTON, 1 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A primera vista, la reluciente botella de Benigna Parfums puede parecer simplemente otro hermoso recipiente con el fin de preservar el precioso elixir en su interior. Sin embargo, la visión creativa, la atención al detalle y las botellas recargables personalizadas representan una historia bien definida y decidida que, en combinación con el enfoque ecológico de la marca, le otorga una ventaja competitiva única.

<div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference"…

Benigna Parfums demuestra su compromiso con el medio ambiente utilizando botellas y envases sostenibles para todas sus fragancias. La marca de lujo implementa y promueve el uso de botellas de cristal recargables y cajas reutilizables para minimizar el impacto ambiental y reducir la huella de carbono. Su objetivo es hacer esto sin comprometer el atractivo visual de su botella y empaque, que deslumbra por ser una botella de cristal con facetas de diamante con una tapa de cristal tallada a mano y un cuello enchapado en oro 24 quilates con 7 impresionantes piezas de cristales Swarovski incrustadas alrededor. Las fragancias se presentan en una elegante caja de cartón y madera acompañadas de una preciosa bolsa de tela.

En lo que al diseño se refiere, Benigna, el director creativo de la marca, declaró: «Nuestras botellas están hechas de cristal especialmente diseñado, que es muy reflectante y tiene un tallado facetado como un diamante para lograr una apariencia fascinante. La forma de diamante simboliza la pureza, la perfección, la armonía, la creatividad y la fuerza, que son los pilares de los valores fundamentales de Benigna Parfums. Los detalles en la parte superior de las tapas de cristal están diseñados geométricamente para imitar el ala de un avión, una representación de la verdadera historia de la marca sobre una joven afrodescendiente que busca concretar sus sueños y pasión por convertirse en ingeniera y piloto aeroespacial. Las tres fragancias exclusivas: Absolute Celebration, Premier Amour y Escape Velocity, cada una tiene tres tapas de cristal únicas que han sido diseñadas en formas circulares, elípticas y rectangulares. Las 8 piezas de cristales Swarovski también tienen una intención significativa: el número 7 representa la integridad y la perfección. El logotipo impreso en la botella es de oro puro, lo que refleja el atractivo de lujo de alta gama y la atemporalidad de la marca».

Al destacar el aspecto medioambiental, la marca dijo: «Debido a los diferentes procesos de fabricación, el cristal no se recicla de la misma forma que el vidrio. El enfoque innovador y ecológico de la marca dictaba que las botellas atemporales deberían ser recargables, lo que permitirá a los clientes hacer de estas impresionantes creaciones un recuerdo personal para disfrutarlas toda la vida y compartirlas. Las cajas de cartón y madera que utiliza la marca provienen de árboles que han sido totalmente certificados por World Land Trust y el FSC».

El tema ecológico de la marca es solo una parte de su cautivadora historia. Benigna Parfums ha tomado la decisión consciente de crear solo fragancias neutrales al género para ayudar en la misión de romper las barreras de género. Las fragancias a menudo se clasifican por género según los ingredientes, las notas y el empaque, y Benigna Parfums cree firmemente que esto debe cambiar. La marca afirma: «Los perfumes no deben basarse en el género o en otra distinción. Deben respetar la elección, el gusto y las preferencias individuales». No definimos para quién están hechas nuestras fragancias. Todas son neutrales al género y no están impuestas por la masculinidad o feminidad. Debido a que la historia de nuestra marca gira en torno a las flores, utilizamos notas predominantemente florales y las mezclamos con otras notas exóticas e ingredientes superiores como el laúd árabe, el almizcle, el ámbar gris, el lirio y la madera para asegurarnos de que, sin importar quién use la fragancia, la experiencia olfativa sea increíble.»

Este elemento de género neutro es una gran parte del ADN de su marca, que establece que sus elegantes perfumes celebran el poder de la individualidad, y cuentan una historia única en la piel de cada quien. Formulado utilizando solo la más alta calidad de ingredientes exóticos y costosos, el resultado son creaciones exquisitas y lujosas diseñadas para aquellos que buscan una calidad superior y verdadera distinción.

La marca también tiene un componente benéfico activo puesto que un porcentaje de las ganancias de Benigna Parfums se donará a BeEagle Foundation, una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a inspirar a las mujeres jóvenes de todo el mundo a seguir la educación y las carreras CTIM. @BeEagle_STEM. En este mundo moderno donde empoderar a las mujeres se ha vuelto tan importante, es reconfortante ver cómo una marca de lujo toma la iniciativa para impulsar esta causa. ¡Benigna Parfums es verdaderamente una marca con una hermoso propósito!

Actualmente, Benigna Parfums tiene una oferta especial por tiempo limitado, que permite a los clientes obtener $115 de descuento en la botella de 75 ml o el juego de colección, si antes compran y prueban el juego de muestras.

‘No Limits – No Regrets’ chronicles high octane, record-breaking cross-country motorcycle adventure

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — When Axe DeKruif crossed the Florida state line, his body started to shake. The San Antonio resident had been riding his BMW S1000RR at high speeds for more than 25 hours attempting to break the cross-country motorcycle record; he had little sustenance beyond his Camelbak and a few Slim Jims.

He left San Diego on <span…

He left San Diego on April 12, 2014 and had less than 36 hours to reach the beach in Jacksonville. He put his bike into gear and the journey—completed 33 hours, 10 minutes on April 14—is one DeKruif chronicles in his book and film documentary, «No Limits – No Regrets,» released on Amazon this year.

DeKruif admits he’s an extremist. «I have an addictive personality,» he says. «There’s that need for excess.»

He earned an engineering degree from Iowa State University. He used those skills to retrofit his motorcycle with a spare fuel tank; thermal vision; a throttlemeister, his version of cruise control; and Bluetooth communication to his helmet. He documented these steps on video.

To prepare himself physically for the challenge, he altered his diet, cut out carbs, alcohol, and hit the gym daily to improve endurance and flexibility.

Born with a heart murmur, his girlfriend Sunshine urged him to see a cardiologist a few years before the cross-country challenge. He was 34; the doctor made it clear his heart was shot. Following heart-valve surgery, DeKruif struggled breathing and a second open-heart surgery followed. He spent 17 days in the hospital, a month recovering and lost 40 pounds.

As he began piecing together ideas for the book and documentary, Sunshine’s health deteriorated. She suffered a seizure; they thought she had recovered, but a second seizure revealed cancer. By November, she died.

For DeKruif, the book and documentary were a way to work through his grief and honor their six years together.

«I look at ‘No Limits, No Regrets,’ as telling our story,» he says. «The focus is obviously the ride and the motorcycles, but she was a big part of that life.»

«No Limits – No Regrets» documentary is available on Amazon ($4.99 for rental, $11.99 to purchase) and the book from Barnes & Noble ($3.99 on NOOK, $17.99 for paperback), also available on Amazon Kindle for $3.99.

I AM HERE: Una serie de retratos íntimos se lanza hoy

IRVINE, California, 1 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Para celebrar el Mes de Concienciación sobre el Cáncer de Mama, Agendia, Inc., un líder mundial en oncología de precisión para el cáncer de mama, se enorgullece de presentar la campaña I AM HERE una colección de ilustraciones e historias que capturan el viaje increíblemente personal de un diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer de mama. I AM HERE es una serie de retratos de la reconocida artista visual Andrea Caceres que ilustra la esencia de aquellas que han sido tocadas por el cáncer de mama, mostrando un momento elegido que ejemplifica las razones por las que están aquí.

«Sabemos que un mes al año no es suficiente para reconocer la vulnerabilidad, el valor, la gracia y la resiliencia que exhiben las pacientes de cáncer de mama, las sobrevivientes y sus familias y equipos de atención todos los días», dijo Mark Straley, consejero delegado de Agendia. «Nos sentimos honrados de asociarnos con Andrea y no podemos esperar a ver su interpretación de las increíbles experiencias e inspiraciones que las personas de nuestra comunidad tienen que compartir.»

Agendia está emprendiendo una mirada de meses más allá de la mamografía para mostrar la fuerza, la complejidad y la comunidad detrás de cada diagnóstico. Las pacientes con cáncer de mama y toda la diversidad de la comunidad de cuidado del cáncer de mama están invitados a compartir sus historias a través de una foto que ilustra la razón por la que están aquí hoy, con una breve explicación para iluminar aún más la importancia de su momento seleccionado en el tiempo.

«Desde mi propio diagnóstico de cáncer de mama hace varios años, que siguió a los propios diagnósticos de mi madre y hermana, he sido bendecida para convertirme en una defensora del cáncer de mama», dijo LaTonya Davis, una sobreviviente de cáncer de mama, presentadora del próximo podcast The Breast Talk Ever, y una de las primeras en tener su historia ilustrada por Andrea para I AM HERE. «Espero asegurarme de que otras mujeres conozcan mi historia y puedan usarla a su favor. Si mi raza, como yo la llamo, puede dar a otra persona la información que necesita para hacer las preguntas correctas, ese poder que se lleva a cabo a través de ellos continuará haciendo olas mucho más allá de mi propio viaje.»

Un viaje oncológico comienza en el diagnóstico y se convierte en un compañero constante, redefiniendo el pasado, presente y futuro del paciente. En esta serie, se proporciona una plataforma para honrar la complejidad, los inspiradores «por qués» y los regalos, pruebas y victorias diarias que los pacientes, los equipos de atención médica y las familias experimentan mientras caminan juntos.

«Me encanta ilustrar a las mujeres y compartir historias sobre su cultura, su historia y quiénes son realmente», dijo la artista Andrea Caceres. «Para mí las mujeres de esta serie representan más que una enfermedad: son madres, hijas, hermanas, personas con pasión y ganas de vida. ‘I AM HERE’, para mí, refleja lo multifacéticas y resistentes que son estas mujeres, me siento muy honrada de representarlas a través de mi arte.»

La colección siempre cambiante de historias e ilustraciones se puede encontrar en www.agendia.com/i-am-here. Agendia anima a todas las que han sido tocadas por el cáncer de mama a enviar sus historias al portal, y a seguir en las redes sociales el hashtag #IAMHERE.

Agendia está profundamente comprometida con toda la amplitud de la comunidad de cáncer de mama, y tiene como objetivo armar a las pacientes y sus sistemas de apoyo con la fuerte ciencia que necesitan para tomar decisiones de tratamiento informadas y de tamaño adecuado.

Acerca de Agendia

Agendia es una empresa de oncología de precisión con sede en Irvine, California, comprometida con proporcionar a los pacientes con cáncer de mama y a sus médicos la información necesaria para la mejor toma de decisiones a lo largo de todo el tratamiento. La compañía actualmente ofrece dos pruebas de perfilación genómica disponibles comercialmente, respaldadas por los más altos niveles de evidencia clínica y real.

Mediante el desarrollo de nuevas pruebas genómicas basadas en la evidencia y la realización de investigaciones innovadoras mientras se construye un arsenal de datos que ayudarán a tratar el cáncer, Agendia tiene como objetivo mejorar los resultados de los pacientes y apoyar las necesidades clínicas en evolución de los pacientes con cáncer de mama y sus médicos en cada paso del camino, desde el diagnóstico inicial a la eliminación cáncer.
