Introducing Saint Crewe, The New Clinically-Tested Skincare Brand For Gen Z Founded by Mom & Therapist to College-Aged Women, Erin Piper

Saint Crewe

Saint Crewe is a new dermatologist-tested, clinically backed skincare line designed specifically for Gen Z. Clinically tested on over 100 people, Saint Crewe is hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The brand’s four new products meet the clean beauty standards of Ulta, Sephora, and Credo while celebrating skincare as a fun, confidence-boosting ritual. As a mother of two and a therapist working with college-aged women, Saint Crewe Founder Erin Piper saw firsthand Gen Z’s growing curiosity about skincare and beauty trends. She realized that they were drawn to viral TikTok-famous products with bright, fun packaging, and the joy of experimenting with self-care. The issue? During the fun of applying face masks and creating skincare routines, the aggressive skincare ingredients were being overlooked. Many of these products contained harsh actives like retinol and glycolic acid – ingredients that weren’t suitable for their young skin. Saint Crewe Founder, Erin Piper, says, “As a mom and therapist to college-aged women, I’ve seen firsthand how much Gen Z loves experimenting with skincare. But there are too many trending products that cause more harm than good for young skin – damaged skin barriers, breakouts, irritation, you name it. That’s why I wanted to create a brand that is clinically effective, but still safe for everyday use. As a parent who has to say ‘no’ to so much – no to social media, to phones, to harmful ingredients, it feels really great to say ‘yes’ to skincare.” Erin sought out to create the ultimate solution to these concerns for the Gen Z community. She collaborated with leading labs, dermatologists, creatives, and beauty industry veterans – including the CEO of Saint Crewe, her long-time friend and skincare product development expert, Laura-Lucia Carothers – to develop a stunning range of vegan and cruelty-free skincare products that nurture this sense of curiosity while being expertly formulated to be gentle and safe for all skin types. Clean Beam Balmy Dream ($32): Lush cleansing balm formula that melts onto the skin as a foamy rinse-off cleanser that can remove sunscreen, makeup, and grime while bisabolol, ginger and calming turmeric soothes the skin. Team Gleam ($38): Daily water-gel serum that is loaded with superfruit goji berry and microalgae, helping balance the microbiome and fight against harmful blue light from screen time. Water Whip ($42): Light gel cream that delivers deep hydration and a natural glow with a boost of marine algae extract and vitamin E while soothing skin. Goji Go + Glow ($44): Packed with powerful aloe juice, microalgae and goji superberries to help keep breakouts at bay, this super mist balances excess oil while supporting your skin's microbiome. The brand’s name pays tribute to both a cherished family name and Sara Crewe, the beloved protagonist of A Little Princess. Saint Crewe isn’t just skincare, it’s innovation that redefines skincare for the next generation and anyone seeking a playful new way to care for their skin. Saint Crewe is redefining skincare for the next generation with fun, approachable, and age-appropriate formulas designed specifically for Gen Z. More than just skincare, Saint Crewe creates an experience, one that evolves with the brand’s community and becomes a playful part of their well-being. Built on the pillars of safety, individuality, integrity, well-being, and experience, Saint Crewe is committed to gentle formulations that nurture young skin with confidence and transparency. Trends fade. Skincare stays. With Saint Crewe, skincare isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling your best, inside and out. It will always be you.

Coolidge Reagan Foundation Files Congressional Ethics, FEC, and DOJ Criminal Complaints Against Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Coolidge Reagan Foundation

The Coolidge Reagan Foundation (CRF), a First Amendment watchdog, has filed a series of complaints against Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), alleging serious ethical and legal violations, including voter intimidation, fraudulent campaign contributions, and misconduct in office. The complaints, simultaneously submitted to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), and the Department of Justice (DOJ), expose Rep. Crockett’s alleged illegal activities and efforts to undermine fair elections and democratic processes. “Rep. Crockett’s reckless rhetoric and open encouragement of political violence are not only unacceptable but dangerously irresponsible, stated Shaun McCutcheon, Chairman of the Coolidge Reagan Foundation. “While I am an advocate for Free Speech, the fact is no Member of Congress should be inciting attacks on American voters. You can’t call on your supporters to attack people any more than you can yell fire in a crowded theater. Her actions must be condemned and investigated.” “This is a blatant abuse of power and a direct assault on free and fair elections,” Dan Backer, Counsel to CRF added. “From voter intimidation to potentially fraudulent campaign financing, Rep. Crockett’s conduct raises serious legal and ethical concerns. The American people deserve accountability, and Crockett must answer for her unethical, potentially criminal, and just plain dirty acts.” The complaint filed with the Department of Justice highlights Rep. Crockett’s alarming rhetoric and online activity, which appear to violate the Federal Voting Rights Act prohibiting voter intimidation. On March 9, 2025, Crockett circulated an animated video through social media depicting a cartoon version of herself and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brutally attacking a Republican voter. This video, broadcast to hundreds of thousands of her followers, not only condones but seemingly encourages political violence against Republicans. Her public statements, including referring to "full-on combat," further demonstrate a pattern of incitement that places American voters at risk. CRF is calling on the DOJ to investigate these actions under 52 U.S.C. § 10307(b) and other applicable federal statutes. CRF's complaint to the FEC details an apparent scheme in which Rep. Crockett’s campaign committee, ‘Jasmine for US’, accepted and falsely reported contributions processed through ActBlue. The filing reveals that an elderly retiree, Mr. Randy Best of Plano, Texas, was listed as making over 2,500 contributions totaling more than $21,000 – including more than 50 to Crockett (transactions that Mr. Best’s wife denies ever occurred). The sheer volume and pattern of these donations suggest an elaborate money-laundering scheme orchestrated through ActBlue to funnel illegal contributions to Democratic candidates, including Rep. Crockett. CRF demands an immediate FEC investigation into these violations of 52 U.S.C. § 30122, which prohibits accepting contributions in the name of, or with the funds of, another. In addition to potential criminal and campaign finance violations, CRF has also filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics, asserting that Rep. Crockett has engaged in behavior that fails to reflect creditably on the U.S. House of Representatives. Her public threats against Republican officials, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and former President Donald Trump (paired with the incendiary video) constitute a clear violation of House Rule XXIII, which mandates ethical conduct by Members. Furthermore, her acceptance of potentially fraudulent contributions through ActBlue raises serious concerns about her fitness for office and adherence to congressional financial disclosure requirements. Shaun McCutcheon further emphasized the seriousness of the complaints stating “Congresswoman Crockett’s actions are a disgrace to the office she holds. Inciting violence against political opponents and engaging in fraudulent campaign finance practices are violations that cannot be ignored. CRF will not stand idly by while elected officials break the law and erode trust in our institutions.” Dan Backer added “We have seen a disturbing trend where ActBlue is used as a willing conduit for a potentially 8 or 9 figure sum of illegal campaign money laundering, and Rep. Crockett’s campaign is just one example. The FEC must investigate this apparent scheme to launder funds in the names of unsuspecting donors. Additionally, her rhetoric and public statements demand a full review by the DOJ for potential voter intimidation violations.” CRF calls for swift action to hold Rep. Crockett accountable and protect the integrity of our democratic process. The news of these complaints was first reported by Fred Lucas in the Daily Signal. ### Please visit: https://www.coolidgereagan.org/ For more information or to schedule an interview with a CRF spokesperson, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@danrene.com Contact Details Coolidge Reagan Foundation Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 dan@danrene.com Company Website https://www.coolidgereagan.org/

Lake Tahoe to Host First-Ever Grand Slam of Curling Event in the US, Featuring the Best Curlers from Around the World

The Curling Group

The Curling Group (TCG), the driving force behind the evolution of curling through strategic investment and fan engagement, today announced that Lake Tahoe will host the first-ever Grand Slam of Curling event in the United States, the GSOC Tahoe, November 4-9, 2025, at the Tahoe Blue Event Center. Lake Tahoe will become the epicenter of the curling world as Olympic medalists, world champions and fan favorites take the ice for this must-see six-day event, which will include live music, fan activations, and interactive experiences set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Tahoe. “In addition to being one of the most beautiful places in the world, Lake Tahoe also has a rich history of hosting some of the most iconic sports events,” said Nic Sulsky, Co-Founder and CEO of The Curling Group. “We were inspired by the energy and success of the 2021 NHL Outdoor Games and the American Century Championship and are creating a one-of-a-kind curling event that captures that same sense of excitement and national appeal. Our goal is to make this a marquee moment on the curling calendar for years to come.” Across the U.S., interest in curling has grown exponentially over the past several years, prompted by the 2018 Olympic Winter Games gold medal win by Minnesota-based Team Shuster. The rise in curling’s popularity in the U.S. is reflected in the interest of pro athletes and celebrities, including Pro Football Hall of Famer and Minnesota Vikings Legend Jared Allen and current NFL stars George Kittle and TJ Hockenson, who are all a part of TCG’s initial group of investors. “The first-ever U.S. GSOC event is a long time coming, as the country’s appetite for curling continues to grow,” Sulsky added. “While our sport has a strong foundation in Canada and parts of Europe, it has yet to reach its full potential in the United States. Our mission is to change that by creating must-attend events that captivate fans, introduce new audiences to the sport, and elevate curling to new levels not yet seen.” The Lake Tahoe event comes as part of a larger initiative to grow the sport’s presence within the U.S., including the upcoming TCG All-Star Game in Nashville (April 15-16, 2025); a first-of-its-kind event featuring the sport’s biggest stars, selected through performance rankings and fan voting. The weekend will feature a celebrity pro-am, skills competition, and All-Star skins game with the best 12 curlers in the world, bringing fans closer to the action. “We’re honored to welcome the Grand Slam of Curling to Lake Tahoe for its first-ever U.S. event. The South Shore has long been a destination where world-class athletes and fans come together in a setting unlike any other. We’re proud to host an event that combines athletic excellence and high-energy entertainment to create awe-inspiring moments.” Says Visit Lake Tahoe President & CEO Carol Chaplin. Tickets for GSOC Tahoe will go on sale April 7 th at 10am pst. Discounted rates will be available for local Nevada and California residents in person at the Vacasa Box Office at the Tahoe Blue Event Center.
