Heir n Heiress × LA Fitness

3 Replies

Founded in January of 2017 by Christian Rupe of Toledo, OH, Heir n Heiress [HnH] was designed as a new fitness and lifestyle brand for fitness, fashion, and contemporary lifestyle. For the better part of the last half-century, the overall populous of the world has seen the same brands with some changes here and there in adaptation to cultural expectations. Heir n Heiress was founded to be a new brand to attack multiple demographics of individuals. HnH wants to represent athletes, models, and the everyday individual. 

Rather than simply being a brand that is only seen in the athletic spectrum or only seen in the fashion industry, HnH wants to be a brand that anybody can wear, whenever. Recently, HnH has targeted top level athletes, such as Justin Gatlin winner of the 100m dash at this years (2017) World Championships in London, in hopes to expand our horizon amongst the athletic world. During the month of September, we have released a new line of athletic wear that can be found on our website. To expand our horizon, HnH wants to show more people wearing our brand in their everyday lives while doing what they take passion in. Our slogan, “Be Crowned A Champion” is one that attacks this specific task.

“Be Crowned A Champion.” What does this slogan mean? Everybody wants to feel as if they are great in what they love to do whether that being a sport, hobby, job, or lifestyle choice that they represent. Being crowned a champion does not simply suit that athletic life, but it gives a sense of accomplishment to anyone who feels as if they are the best at what they do. Our crown logo is a physical representation of that effort to be the best of the best. HnH wants our logo to stand out in a crowd in hopes to draw attention the individual(s) wearing it on their apparel. With that attention, it will motivate more individuals to want to show off their talents to the world.

Why wear Heir n Heiress apparel? Simply put…you want to be great…you want to be crowned a champion. YOU want people to look at you as someone who is driven to be great! With our new line of athletic apparel that has been newly released during the month of September as stated earlier, we want people to desire our logo. We are a brand that is nondiscriminatory and nonjudgmental. HnH wants to produce more casual style clothing alongside our athletic lines to reach all walks of life in hopes to show adaptation to the ever-changing culture of the world.

Recently, HnH ran a successful promotion with 360 Magazine as Heir n Heiress took over their Instagram live during the weekend of September 23rd, 2017. This live event took place at Ohio Northern University’s Homecoming Weekend. The next major move for HnH will happen on September 28th at 5:30pm Eastern time at a popular LA Fitness location at 2859 N Holland Sylvania Rd, Toledo, OH 43615. Here, HnH will be launching the new line of fitness wear. If anyone is in the area for this event, stop by to receive promotional items and a chance to win free apparel.

Pioneers in Women-Only Travel Invite Adventurers to Patagonia

Wild Women Expeditions-Style


When sailing ships smashed through high seas many years ago, often a lady rode with them. Symbolic of the female adventurer, she was the carved wooden figurehead on the prow taking on the full force of wind, waves and whatever life came her way.

 

Gone is the girl on the prow, but Patagonia, at the bottom of the world, similarly tugs imaginations. Wild Women Expeditions (http://wildwomenexpeditions.com/) understands that women need to test their mettle against the wind in wild places. This company has designed two new trips to draw small women-only groups to Patagonia in 2018 and 2019. One trip is a multi-sport adventure; the other is an exploration on horseback.

 

Torres del Paine Multisport Adventure departure dates are Feb. 3-12 (waitlist being taken) and March 12-21, 2018. This program is also scheduled in 2019 for Feb. 3-12, March 2-11 and March 17-26. The per person double rate for 10 days and nine nights is $5,295 including English-speaking female guide and activity specialist guides, accommodations, all meals, and all equipment for excursions including sleeping bags for hiking overnights, mountain bikes, sea kayaks, horses and tack and corresponding safety equipment. The playground is an other-worldly landscape of peaks, glaciers, wild horses, pampas and lakes that composes Torres del Paine National Park. Challenges come by way of hiking up to eight hours per hike, kayaking, mountain biking up to four hours per outing, and a six-hour horseback ride. In adherence to sustainable practices, participants reside in tented Eco Camp Patagonia Domes, with two women paired in a tent and a scenic lodge in shared huts. Punta Arenas is the gateway. Please see http://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/torres-del-paine-multisport-adventure/.

 


Patagonia Cordillera Riding Adventure departure dates are Jan 22-Feb. 1, Feb. 5-15 (waitlist being taken) and March 4-14, 2018. Dates for 2019 will be announced shortly. The per person double rate for 11 days and 10 nights is $3,395 including 11 days of horseback riding into the rugged heart of the Andes, the cordillera chain of mountain ranges, by way of strong and surefooted Argentine Criollos. The rate includes a seven-day pack trip; horses, pack mules and riding gear; professional female wrangler guides; 10 nights of on and off-grid shared accommodation including the first two nights and the night before departure at an estancia where Ranquilco Lodge showcases its eco-sensitive off-the-grid homestead systems; camping equipment; hand-crafted meals; laundry services; roundtrip transfers from Neuquen Airport to destination in the rugged heart of the Andes. Estancia hospitality serves up locavore along with off-the-grid living before heading to the cordillera (mountain range) to ride trails deep into the Andes and into the simple lifestyle of the gauchos. Guests are transferred from and back to Presidente Perón International Airport in Neuquén Province, Argentina. Please see http://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/patagonia-horse-adventure/.

 

Wild Women Expeditions already tops the list with more active travel departures for women only than any other tour company in the world. In this unique niche, this company also outpaces other companies with more women-only horseback riding trips. In addition to Patagonia, equestriennes can travel to

  • Iceland — Golden Circle Riding Adventure, nine days at $3,295 per person; Women & Girls Golden Circle Riding Adventure, seven days at $1,995 per person; Hekla Volcano Riding Adventure, nine days at $3,295 per person
  • British Columbia — Chilcotin Cowgirl Riding Adventure, eight days at $3,495CAD per person
  • Mongolia – Orkhon Valley Horseback Adventure, 14 days at $2,295 per person; and Marvels of Mongolia, 14 days at $2,895 per person, mixing trekking with camel and horseback riding.
  • Ireland – Connemara Riding Adventure, seven days at $3,295 per person.  

A quarter century ago Wild Women Expeditions pioneered today’s steam-charged movement encouraging women to travel in small women-only groups. “What Wild Women Expeditions does is give women the opportunity to achieve amongst other women, test boundaries, take risks and become leaders,” says Jennifer Haddow, Owner/Director.

 

For details, availability and reservations for these and all Wild Women Expeditions’ programs call 1 (888) 993-1222, email info@wildwomenexpeditions.com or visit online at http://wildwomenexpeditions.com/.

 

About

Founded in 1991, Wild Women Expeditions is the world’s largest women-only travel company. Its initial focus was on canoeing on remote Ontario waters. Through an unwavering focus on Canada, one of the wildest, most pristine countries in the world, Wild Women Expeditions became Canadian experts in a pioneering niche that introduced small groups of women into wilderness settings. Even though the company now hosts guests all over the world, it retains a national focus with more trips and more women-only, backcountry camping adventures in Canada than any other women’s travel company in the world.

“Tailgating is truly one of my favorite things, there’s nothing better than grilling and hanging out in a parking lot before the big game or even a concert,” says Josh Capon. “Several years ago, my friends and I formed a tailgate themed fundraiser called ‘The Tailgate with a Cause,’ and we’re pleased to share that, moving forward, the charity will become the official charity of National Tailgate Weekend and we thank Learfield for their generous donation.” adds Capon.  

 
Chef Capon will share tips, recipes and demonstrations via National Tailgate Weekend’s website and social media channels.

Founded and created by Learfield Licensing Partners in 2016, National Tailgate Weekend is an annual holiday that celebrates tailgating.

Our primary goal is to promote civic engagement via free and open to the public Pier programing, and Front Porch Cinema certainly checks that box.” said Craig Hoffman, Director of Partnerships and Development for the Santa Monica Pier Corporation. “We love celebrating both new and classic films, and are excited for the community to come out and enjoy the launch to the Pier’s fall programming.”  

“We’re so excited to be partnering with Front Porch Cinema this fall, and presenting a fun lineup for LA movie-goers,” said Kinjil Mathur, Chief Marketing Officer for Squarespace. “Films can be an incredible source of inspiration, and a powerful outlet for creative expression. We hope that the magic of the movies inspires viewers to go out and pursue their own dreams with Squarespace.” 

The series will offer unique on-site activities and entertainment. Come dance as they do in the movies, and experience free dance lessons for dancers of all ages before the series launches with La La Land on Sept. 29 from 6-7:30 p.m., courtesy of ACE and Arthur Murray Dance Center. Additionally, the younger audience will enjoy a special themed arts and crafts activation for the kids courtesy of popular local children’s bookstore, Books & Cookies. 

The audience can unwind on old-timey lawn chairs, comfy blankets, and watch on a giant screen with the highest quality HD-projection and line-array sound provided by LA’s premier outdoor movie producers, Eat|See|Hear. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs, as only a limited number will be available for rent. Each week there will be curated cocktails themed to the film available in the Cinema Lounge, with beverages from Boulevard Brewing Company and Deep Eddie Vodka, as well as seating for guests to enjoy before and during the film.

THE TONIGHT SHOW × MILEY WEEK

‘THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON’ ANNOUNCES OCT. 2-6 AS ‘MILEY WEEK’

Five Days of Special Performances and Comedy From Musical Superstar Miley Cyrus to Celebrate the Release of “Younger Now”

“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” will host “Miley Week” Oct. 2-6, with music superstar and longtime friend of the show Miley Cyrus performing each night. This unprecedented weeklong celebration on “The Tonight Show” will kick off with a sit-down chat with Fallon on Monday, Oct. 2 and feature one-of-a-kind performances and sketches. Fans can also expect special guests and surprises all week.

The late-night audience is always in for a surprise when Cyrus is on “The Tonight Show.” She has appeared seven times over the past two years, and was the only guest who completed two episode takeovers. Cyrus and Fallon together have produced many fan-favorite moments, from her crashing as Hashtag the Panda, to the most recent of which saw them busking incognito at the Rockefeller Center subway station. 

Her new album, “Younger Now,” is set to be released Sept. 29. “Younger Now” is by no means a reinvention, but more a continuation. As the title-track expresses, “No one stays the same.” Cyrus has always been true to herself on her creative journey and has shared her life and experiences with fans through her artistry. Her prior albums were a direct reflection of her unapologetic self, and uncompromising vision of her music. And with “Younger Now,” Cyrus took the full creative reigns with an intention to share a piece of herself, unlike before. She wrote every lyric, co-wrote the music, and co-produced the album.

Cyrus will return as a coach on the 13th season of NBC’s hit music competition series “The Voice,” which premieres tonight, Sept. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. 

The schedule for the week of Oct. 2-6 includes:

Monday, Oct. 2:
