The Science Behind Ramune Soda

by Lisa Gal

The origin of the word Ramune is Lemonade. In Japan in the 1870’s the Codd-neck bottle, designed by mechanical engineer Hiram Codd, was used to store Lemonade. The clever marble isn’t just a fun way to access this carbonated beverage, but rather when sealed the pressure of the carbonated drink pushes the marble upwards against the lid sealing the drink securely without leaking the gas. Ramune can now be found all across the United States. This is definitely a celebrity favorite, so it is always highly anticipated in our Hollywood Swag Bags. We are thrilled to include them this month in our gifting at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills for the big red carpet weekend!

Handmade Plus Size Lingerie and Swimwear Brand Viva Voluptuous

Handmade Plus Size Lingerie and Swimwear Brand Viva Voluptuous Launches in the USA After Runaway UK Success

Handmade Plus Size Lingerie Viva Voluptuous

 

UK swimwear and lingerie brand Viva Voluptuous will bring its groundbreaking collection of handmade and ethical plus size lingerie and swimwear designed specifically for the fuller figure to the US this month.

Featuring the latest designs in bra sizes up to 48K, all Viva Voluptuous swimwear and lingerie collections are comfortable, durable and fashionable, staying to the British brand’s mantra that size shouldn’t affect style.

From boudoir to poolside, the modern, stylish pieces are designed to flatter fuller figures, with high quality materials, on-trend prints and modern colors. The collection has a distinctive, quintessential British high fashion edge, made utterly wearable for every American woman.

Handmade in the EU using the finest fabrics and ethically sourced materials, Viva Voluptuous focuses on creating the perfect fit for the fuller figure so customers look and feel fabulous, regardless of their dress size.

Previous offerings in the UK market have been poorly sized and of questionable quality – a gripe which inspired Viva Voluptuous director and founder Liz Willis to create her own range and offer other plus size women a modern, fashionable alternative for seductive lingerie and eye-catching swimwear for beach and poolside confidence. “We think all women have a right to wear beautiful, bright colours and sheer laces,” Willis says. “Most companies change their designs once they get over 40 underband, to beige and granny prints. Furthermore, unlike a number of companies that make very big cups, but with a biggest underband of around 38/40, Viva Voluptuous specializes in bigger underbands, without compromising on prettiness.

“We are very impressed with how much more body confident American ladies are and are so excited to launch in the USA. Although we are definitely making progress in the UK, we still have some way to go. We sincerely hope American women love our mermaid bikinis, neon orange bra sets and sexy red suspenders as much as we do.”

Headphones That Deliver Unrivaled Situational Awareness and Comfort

by Lisa Gal

You might be wondering, what is situational awareness? According to Wikipedia it is “the perception of environmental elements and events with respect to time or space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status after some variable has changed, such as time, or some other variable, such as a predetermined event.” In other words your ability to be aware of your surroundings by being able to still hear what is going on around you even while wearing headphones. This is especially important for athletes such as cyclists and runners. Now with AfterShokz Trekz Air you can hear your surroundings as well as your music.

Bone conduction is a natural part of the hearing process—sound travels through our eardrums and bones simultaneously. AfterShokz have taken the concept to the next level through development of a suite of proprietary audio technologies and design patents.

So how do they work? Transducers guide mini vibrations through the cheekbones to the inner ears, delivering sound without plugging or covering them. We are so excited to include them in our Hollywood Swag Bags being gifted to the nominees, talent and guests staying at the Four Seasons Hotel this month for the big red carpet weekend!
