Caroline Kennedy visits Adelante Boutique, San Antonio, TX

Friday April 29th 2011

While thousands of people obsessed over the royal wedding others were very excited to meet a member of another famous family.

After finishing a reading from her new book at San Antonio's Pearl Brewery, Caroline Kennedy did a little shopping. She popped into Adelante, one of SA's trendiest boutiques picking out 2 pair of vintage inspired earrings, one for her daughter and one for a friend. "This store is really gorgeous," quotes the famous author in regards to the color pink decor and "Thanks so much...you all are very nice", she said as she left.

Diamond Girl Media LA's accounts director and in-house IT geek in Locale Orange County Magazine!

Jenna Hannon is Diamond Girl Media LA's 'executive geek' who just happens to make a damn good pin up. When she is not hard at work in the DGM office, she puts on a pretty mean crimson pout (and in between is probably out kiteboarding, surfing or skateboarding). Check her out in this quarter's Locale Magazine action issue on news stands for the next three months in Orange County.

What is Geoprene?

Geoprene is an ECO conscious alternative to neoprene. Most wetsuits are made of neoprene which is a petroleum-based material. Geoprene on the other hand is 99.7% limestone. Limestone? How can you make a wetsuit from limestone?


Upon further research, I discovered one of the main manufacturers to heavily incorporate Geoprene to be Matuse wetsuits. Matuse uses Yamamoto's geoprene described as "sedimentary rock’s composed of mineral calcite (i.e. Calcium carbonate or limestone)," according to Matuse's online description. "It’s usually derived from shell secretions of marine organisms that fall from the water column and are deposited as pelagic ooze on the ocean floor. Many, many, many years later, this ooze becomes your premium (the ichiban) Geoprene-built Matuse suit." I would use the term 'back-to-basics' as the material is so earth derived, although this clearly sounds complicated. We can even further geek out with desciptions such as "its closed cell content is 23% higher than petroleum based competitors and its high performance cell structure allows for elasticity better than human skin: Its maximum elongation is 480-530% (human skin is only 60-70%)" on the Matuse website. 


And to go even further, with the fashion-like Matuse ads, what is a surf girl not to like!? Oh, the price. You can expect to spend a pretty penny on your eco-conscious geoprene wetsuit at between $400- $500 a pop. Although, judging by the description this may be worth the price with increased flexibility and warmth. So weigh your odds, as geoprene may be the only way to go for the eco consumer, although without trying them personally I can only tell you what I know from the net.

Larenim Founder Kirsten Corcoran is an expert advisor on cosmetic toxicology pursuing wellness in our make-up


Los Angeles (2011)- What's In Your Make-up

"Studies of risk perception examine the judgements people make when they are asked to characterize and evaluate hazardous activities and consumer products. But although this research aims to aid risk analysis and policy-making by providing a basis for understanding and anticipating public responses to hazards and improving the communication of risk information among lay people, technical experts, and decision-makers and more importantly marketing departments. When it comes to the world of cosmetics we are bombarded by marketing ploys, gimmicks, quirks, and cosmetic companies driven by buyers. Safety is a concern we leave to the experts of the FDA, although with a subjective system laid out by the Division of Pharmacology it is often okay to question the system's requirements, standards, and even motives on some. As the climate of safety grows unstable on the cosmetics front, it is only a matter of time before ethical and conscious brands make a step to rise above the marketing chatter and toward a drive of safety and wellness."

                                                                          - Larenim make-up founder, Kirsten Corcoran 

Larenim founder Kirsten Corcoran has studied health and wellness and worked in the natural nutrition industry for almost 25 years. As the mother of five, ECO activist, and business owner, we are flabergasted by how she finds the time to put so much research and understanding into each of her products. With a new skin care line under the Larenim name and the only natural, organic, and completely chemical free mineral make-up on the market, Kirsten is making waves in the ECO community. With a brand under her belt and a thirst for knowledge and wellness awareness, Kirsten is pursuing the media to get her story through and answer questions from consumers on the true safety of cosmetics.

In depth information on Cosmetic toxicology and for an interview with Kirsten Corcoran regarding please contact Diamond Girl Media LA at 310-207-1477.
