SAN FRANCISCO, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —Â In celebration of Earth Day, fine wedding jewelry brand She Said Yes today announced the launch of its “Earth Love” limited-edition collection in partnership with Global Green. The collaboration introduces a new standard for sustainable bridal jewelry, crafted with a “zero mining, fully recycled” approach that redefines how modern couples can celebrate love while protecting the planet.
Rooted in a shared mission that love and environmental responsibility can coexist, the Earth Love collection ensures that every purchase contributes directly to climate action. A portion of proceeds from each piece sold will support Global Green’s climate park initiative—an environmental program focused on restoring ecosystems, advancing climate resilience, and educating communities. This partnership aligns consumer purchase power with measurable environmental impact, offering couples a meaningful way to give back through one of life’s most significant milestones.
At the core of the collection is a commitment to sustainability without compromising design. Each piece is crafted using 100% recycled karat gold and carbon-neutral lab-grown diamonds, eliminating the need for new mining while significantly reducing carbon emissions. The collection maintains She Said Yes’ signature romantic aesthetic—timeless silhouettes, refined settings, and elegant craftsmanship—while integrating environmentally responsible materials that meet the values of today’s conscious consumer.
To further amplify its Earth Day initiative, She Said Yes will launch a dedicated Earth Love digital experience on its website, featuring a limited-time 15% exclusive offer alongside interactive engagement opportunities. Visitors can participate in keyword-driven activities and a special Earth Day lucky draw, creating a dual-impact experience where both purchase and participation contribute to environmental awareness and action.
“Partnering with Global Green allows us to extend the meaning of our jewelry beyond the moment of ‘yes,'” said a spokesperson for She Said Yes. “This collaboration is rooted in a shared belief that love and environmental responsibility can coexist. With the Earth Love collection, every piece represents not only a commitment between two people, but also a commitment to the planet—transforming each purchase into tangible support for Global Green’s climate initiatives and a more sustainable future.”
“Partnerships like this demonstrate how industries can evolve to meet the urgency of our climate reality,” said William Bridge. “By rethinking materials and committing to responsible sourcing, She Said Yes is helping to shift the narrative—proving that celebration and sustainability can go hand in hand. Every purchase in the Earth Love collection becomes a meaningful investment in our planet’s future, supporting critical initiatives like our climate park projects that are designed to restore ecosystems and inspire lasting environmental change.”
Consumers are invited to explore the Earth Love collection and participate in She Said Yes’ Earth Day experience by visiting the brand’s official website. As sustainability becomes increasingly central to modern weddings, She Said Yes and Global Green are setting a new precedent—where beauty, meaning, and environmental responsibility are seamlessly intertwined.

American-Founded K-Beauty Brand Projects $100M in Revenue by 2026
MIAMI, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JiYu, a Korean skincare brand formulated and manufactured in South Korea, today announced its expansion into the emerging category of longevity-focused skincare, combining advanced Korean formulation with innovations in cellular skin health. As the global skincare market shifts toward preventative, science-backed approaches, JiYu is positioning itself at the intersection of Korean beauty and longevity.
“The rest of the world is starting to catch up to what Korean skincare has always understood. Longevity is the next frontier — and we’ve been building toward it from the start.” — Jen Chierotti, Co-Founder, JiYu
JiYu is a K-beauty brand formulated and manufactured in Korea, built for a global audience, with offices in Miami, Austin, and Seoul’s Gangnam district. Founded by American female entrepreneurs, JiYu has become one of the fastest-growing K-beauty brands in the United States, tracking toward $100 million in revenue in 2026 on the back of triple-digit year-over-year growth.
WHERE KOREAN BEAUTY MEETS LONGEVITY
JiYu is built on the same principles that define the best Korean skincare: ingredient precision, skin health over time, and formulations that go deeper than the surface. But the brand has taken that philosophy somewhere most K-beauty brands haven’t gone yet. Longevity.
The idea is that skin can be supported at the cellular level, not just the surface. JiYu brings Korean ingredient science and formulation precision to actives and delivery systems increasingly studied in cellular health research, working at the level of how skin actually repairs and regenerates over time. The brand integrates Korean ingredient innovation with emerging research in skin regeneration, barrier repair, and long-term skin health, extending the conversation from anti-aging skincare to skin longevity.
NAD+ is one example of that thinking in action, a coenzyme tied to cellular energy and repair processes, incorporated into formulations using advanced Korean delivery systems designed to improve bioavailability. Alongside this, JiYu’s proprietary K8-Rejuvenateâ„¢ complex combines clinically studied ingredients including Snail Mucin, Centella Asiatica, Niacinamide, Alpha-Arbutin, and a multi-peptide complex to target multiple aspects of skin health simultaneously, from tone and texture to barrier strength. Rather than positioning individual hero ingredients, JiYu formulates its products as systems designed to work cohesively over time.
“The best anti-aging products in the world come out of Korea. JiYu exists to bring them to everyone everywhere.” — Jen Chierotti, Co-Founder, JiYu
MADE IN KOREA, BUILT FOR WHAT’S NEXT
Every JiYu product is formulated and manufactured in South Korea by one of South Korea’s leading cosmetics ODMs, whose clients include several of the world’s most recognized luxury beauty brands. JiYu’s Korea-based product development team maintains deep relationships within the Korean beauty supply chain, giving the brand access to active ingredients and delivery systems that require direct relationships within the Korean manufacturing ecosystem. The brand is actively growing its Seoul-based team, with ongoing hiring across product development, formulation, and market operations as part of its expanding Korean presence.
JiYu products are imported directly from South Korean manufacturing facilities to U.S. consumers, with no domestic reformulation, co-packing, or third-party repackaging at any stage. The formulas consumers receive are identical to what is developed and produced in Seoul.
JiYu products are manufactured to the highest international standards, holding certifications including CGMP, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 22716. The brand has committed a portion of its recent $6.5 million capital raise to independent clinical research, building the evidence base that the longevity skincare category will increasingly require.
“Korean formulation science has always been built around long-term skin health — that philosophy is in the DNA of how we develop every product. What JiYu is doing is bringing that depth of formulation to the longevity conversation happening in the West. No one else has really connected those two worlds yet at scale.” — Jen Chierotti, Co-Founder, JiYuÂ
GROWTH DRIVEN BY PRODUCT
JiYu’s rise has been driven almost entirely by product performance and creator-led content rather than traditional marketing. With a strong presence across TikTok Shop, Amazon, and its own Shopify storefront at jiyuskin.com, with meaningful revenue contribution across all three platforms, the brand has built a loyal customer base through repeat purchase and word of mouth, a signal of both product efficacy and growing consumer alignment with its approach to skincare.
With five new products expected in 2026 — each building on the brand’s longevity-driven formulation approach — JiYu is preparing for its next phase of growth, including retail distribution and direct entry into the South Korean market.
A NEW DIRECTION FORÂ SKINCARE
As consumers increasingly move toward preventative health, biohacking, and longevity-focused wellness, skincare is evolving alongside it. JiYu represents a shift in how beauty brands are built, combining global supply chain access, Korean formulation expertise, and a long-term view of skin health.
For a brand that launched with a clear thesis of K-beauty science meets longevity thinking, JiYu has found an audience that responds to both.
JiYu products are available at jiyuskin.com, Amazon, and TikTok Shop.

ATLANTA, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Southern Renewable Energy Association Executive Director Simon Mahan today announced the official launch of Powering Georgia as a collaborative statewide effort to bring affordable, clean energy within reach to all residents of the Peach State.
Powering Georgia supports providing timely and accurate information about energy issues across Georgia. The initiative’s Mission Statement notes:
“Powering Georgia serves the people of Georgia by advocating for an affordable and resilient grid. We believe reliable electricity is foundational to families’ well-being and to local economies. By uniting decisionmakers, communities, and developers, we work to strengthen the grid. Our goal is to empower Georgians across the state – from rural towns to urban centers – with access to dependable, affordable power, and build resilience against rising energy costs and extreme weather.”
Bringing together stakeholders from civic organizations, local and state government, industry and communities around the state to start impactful conversations around energy affordability and burdens, expand access to reliable power, and debunk misinformation about energy and transmission is why SREA created the Powering initiatives, Mahan said. To date, SREA has launched similar initiatives in Arkansas and Louisiana.
“Energy is at the heart of everything that underpins a civil society, yet most people are in the dark when it comes to how the electric system works,” Powering Georgia State Director Taylor Schindler said, “Powering Georgia is an effort to empower people with facts and information about our shared energy systems, but also to pull back the curtain on how decisions are made, and help shape our state’s future.”
Schindler said that the effort will help connect people with information on all energy related issues with a focus on clean energy issues facing the Peach State. “Georgia is an economic powerhouse, with new businesses setting up shop on a daily basis. Without more power generation and transmission, the economic engine can run out of steam. Balancing affordability, reliability, and a clean energy economy are all imperative for supporting the future of Georgia,” he said.
Georgians are encouraged to sign up at www.poweringgeorgia.org for more information and to get engaged.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What makes abandoned tires a serious threat to public health and the environment? In an article published by HelloNation, Kimberly McCulla of Kentuckiana Tire Recycling explains how improperly discarded tires create conditions that endanger both people and ecosystems.
When left in open areas, vacant lots, or near water, these tires become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and nesting sites for rodents and snakes, increasing the risk of disease and other public health issues. Beyond pest infestations, scrap tires also pose extreme fire risks. Tire fires release toxic smoke and hazardous runoff that can contaminate air and soil, requiring costly cleanup and long-term remediation.
McCulla details how proactive waste tire management can significantly reduce these hazards. Facilities equipped for scrap tire recycling prevent tires from ending up in illegal dump sites, where they attract vermin and threaten community safety. Through proper processing, tires are repurposed into useful materials like playground surfaces, construction fill, and alternative fuels. These outcomes not only help prevent environmental hazards of tires but also promote sustainability by limiting landfill volume and improving resource efficiency.
Communities that support recycling efforts and enforce disposal regulations experience fewer emergencies tied to illegal dumping and tire fires. McCulla advises residents to use municipal recycling programs or licensed waste handlers and verify local guidelines before disposal. As highlighted in the article, responsible tire disposal is a critical part of reducing tire fire risks, protecting public health, and maintaining cleaner, safer neighborhoods.
Environmental Impact & Public Health features insights from Kimberly McCulla, Tire Recycling Expert of Louisville, Kentucky, in HelloNation.

Community service activation rooted in literacy, cultural connection, and legacy created lasting resources for local children and families
WASHINGTON, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated, the premier African American family organization, brought its 2026 Biennial National Youth Trip to the Lowcountry to immerse families in the region’s history and cultural legacy while making a meaningful impact through a community service activation in North Charleston.
Held under the theme Journey to History: Lineage and Legacy in the Lowcountry, the trip gave Jack and Jill families from across the country the opportunity to engage with the stories, traditions, and historical significance of the region in ways that felt immediate, meaningful, and deeply personal.
As part of that experience, Jack and Jill families partnered with Jenkins Youth & Family Village and Murray Hill Recreation Association for a literacy-centered day of service supporting children and families in the North Charleston community. Together, families helped build permanent community libraries, distributed more than 400 books and literacy resources, and donated to the Jenkins Freedom School Summer Program to help students maintain and strengthen their literacy skills throughout the summer.
“This year’s theme calls us to listen more closely, to see more deeply, and to help our children understand that history is not simply something to be memorized — it is something to be encountered,” said Darlene McGhee Whittington, 28th National President of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated.
“With books and literacy resources being donated to the community, it became a really meaningful and fun literacy day for everyone,” said Ja’nister Herring, Interim Executive Director of Jenkins Youth & Family Village.
The service activation also received local media coverage from Live 5 News and Let’s Talk Podcast
An additional highlight of the trip’s literacy focus was an interactive storytelling and creative writing session led by South Carolina author Antwan Eady, whose award-winning picture book Nigel and the Moon has been widely acclaimed. The session encouraged imagination, storytelling, and literary expression among Jack and Jill youth
Throughout the weekend, Jack and Jill families encountered the richness of the Lowcountry through learning, reflection, fellowship, and service. By pairing cultural engagement with hands-on service, the 2026 Biennial National Youth Trip reflected the organization’s enduring commitment to leadership development, literacy, and community impact.
Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated, is honored to have partnered with Jenkins Youth & Family Village and Murray Hill Recreation Association on an activation that reflected the power of literacy, the importance of representation, and the lasting value of community-centered service. This event was supported by the Jack and Jill of America Foundation and Target Corporation.
