Penfold Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz
Bin 389 is often referred to as ‘Baby Grange’, in part because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. First made in 1960, by the legendary Max Schubert, this was the wine that helped to forge Penfolds solid reputation with red wine drinkers combining the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of Shiraz. Bin 389 also exemplifies the judicious balance of fruit and oak.
Pureology is proud to launch a completely renovated product lineup this summer with a new look and select formula improvements. “Color care without compromise” is the Pureology promise to professional stylists and at-home users who wish to align their beauty product choices with their personal values: sustainable practices, aesthetic performance and emotional empowerment. The new Pureology was introduced in June on Pureology.com and at SalonCentric, and will be fully available in August at ULTA and Amazon.com.
In recent years, the rise of beauty products that are ecologically-friendly has grown considerably. Like many brands at the forefront of sustainability, Pureology was created in California. The very first products were sulfate-free and 100% vegan. As the brand enters its 20th year, that eco-commitment has grown to encompass even more sustainable benevolence: The new Pureology boasts a reduction in carbon footprint during sourcing of ingredients and raw materials, increased water conservation through concentrated formulas, and 95% post-consumer recycled plastic packaging that is 100% recyclable. Further, Pureology formulas are paraben- and mineral oil- free.
CitizenM is upgrading to a minimal-fuss contactless experience. The ‘affordable luxury’ lifestyle and hotel brand – renowned for rewriting the rules of traditional hospitality – is transforming the way mobile citizens travel with a fun, free, global app. Using a mobile device, guests can open their rooms or create a keycard. Kiosk passport scanning will be a thing of the past – this will be feasible through the app. Once a guest checks in, they can use their phone to open their room, order food and beverages, control the in-room experience, then check-out when they’ve finished their stay. Today, travellers have a renewed focus on health and safety. With the app and contactless experience, citizenM guests now have extra confidence in their wellbeing during their stay.
As an owner and operator of its entire hotel portfolio, citizenM has the complete freedom to execute new initiatives consistently, rapidly and globally. Most traditional hotels are under management contracts but owned separately, making it challenging to carry out new strategies. As citizenM owns and operates all its locations, any decisions made (e.g. hygiene, safety or technology) are implemented in one swoop. As the brand evolves so does its approach – to provide smart luxury for the people.
During the pandemic, citizenM didn’t sit still. The hotel chain fast-tracked, upgrading its technology efforts to create a contactless guest experience. All hotels remained open for essential workers – and while competitors closed, citizenM retained its entire workforce. Over 1000 unused iPads were donated to charities worldwide – including UK NHS Trusts, Hôpital Lariboisière in Paris and Hetrick-Martin Institute in New York – helping families and COVID-19 patients stay connected. Furthermore, at least 1000 rooms will be gifted to local heroes in communities surrounding the hotels.
