Black-Owned Culturs Lifestyle Network Aims to Bring the Beauty of Global Culture to Your Door with Affordable Subscriptions and Memberships that Celebrate the World’s Diversity
The Culturs global multicultural lifestyle network activates 21st century diversity by creating media, products and experiences that embrace hidden diversity.
Last Updated on May 18, 2025 by Rod Washington
FORT COLLINS, Colo. /PRNewswire/ — The Culturs global multicultural lifestyle network activates 21st century diversity by creating media, products and experiences that embrace hidden diversity. A certified black-owned business with a social mission, Culturs focuses on “in-between” cultural populations, including multi-ethnic, multicultural, mixed-race and geographically mobile (like immigrants, refugees and Third Culture Kids) with a focus on people of color – because everyone should feel like they matter.
Culturs founder Doni Aldine and her team members around the globe each fit many of these in-between identities. They understand what it’s like to constantly feel out-of-place. “The beauty of growing up in so many different spaces is that one develops a breadth of understanding for many other people, cultures and ways of thinking,” she said. “Often, however, the same understanding isn’t afforded to the culturally fluid individual.” In this chasm, the idea for Culturs was born – a place where people can come together, create community, feel understood. Its vision is to enhance community and foster human connection for those with liminal, or “in-between” identities. A quarterly membership now can bring all of this to subscribers’ doors, so they can feel their community, even if it is not near.
Culturs media offers stories, research and advice from this culturally fluid point of view. Its print magazine, produced four to six times each year, is anchored by a website that pumps out cross-cultural content each weekday, includes the podcast “[cultural] Destinations with Doni,” and videos on XOTV.me. Products include stationery items like journals Hidden Diversity greeting cards, from a uniquely cross-cultural point of view, and African American Princess Affirmation Cards; CultursCELEBRATIONS! Award-winning cultural entertaining kits to throw an authentic culturally-themed dinner party for up to 10 people, and handcrafted good-for-you globally focused bath and body products, among others. Experiences include discounts for culturally immersive global trips, cross-cultural educational classes, and cultural consulting and speaking engagements for organizations and individuals from Culturs’ diversity experts.
“These media, products and experiences are curated and delivered quarterly to remind people who they are, where they come from and that they’re not alone,” said Aldine. “Often the world tries to tell you who you are, but you know better. Our goal is to provide the resources to remind you of that knowledge, so people can feel confident in their culturally “in-between” identities.”
Culturs quarterly subscription memberships cost $24.99 to $59.99 each month at CutursMag.com/Shop
Gift certificates are available just in time for the holiday season.

Swisse Launches Glam Bites: Zero-Sugar Beauty Gummies Designed for Busy Routines

(Family Features) Here’s the secret for achieving a glowing complexion: there is no secret. In fact, a key factor in achieving great skin at any age comes down to one common denominator that’s no secret at all. It’s simply taking good care of your skin.
After all, your skin is your body’s single largest organ. It’s your protective shield, but it can also reveal the truth of your age, especially if you’re lax when it comes to regular skin care.
Make hydration a priority. Keeping the skin hydrated maintains its barrier integrity. When the skin becomes dry, it reduces the effectiveness of the skin barrier, making it less resilient against irritants and allergens.
Often, when the skin is dry it feels more rough or flaky. With proper hydration, the skin feels smoother and looks more supple. Achieving hydration through a better skin care routine, drinking plenty of water daily and eating certain fruits and vegetables can improve your skin’s appearance, maintaining a radiant, healthy complexion.
Use the right soap. Despite what your mother may have told you, squeaky clean isn’t always best. A better bet when it comes to soap is a product that respects your skin’s moisture balance and cleanses without creating tightness or irritation.
Mild options such as Pears skin cleansing products are specifically formulated and dermatologically tested to be gentle on the skin. They’re made with plant-based glycerin, which is a powerful humectant that attracts water from the environment and deeper layers of the skin to the outer layer, keeping it hydrated. Glycerin-based cleansers can help prevent stripping of the skin’s natural oils, which averts a tight, dry feeling.
“More than ever, consumers are looking for mild and gentle products that are effective, smell good and work well,” said Dr. Adriana Lombardi, founder of the Skin Cancer & Cosmetic Surgery Center of New Jersey. “Pears soap checks all the boxes. It creates a really nice, thick lather and smells crisp and clean while leaving the skin hydrated.”
Avoid hot showers. Even the best products may not overcome the potential harm that comes from taking showers that are too hot. The heat removes your skin’s natural oils, which leaves you prone to itching and dryness and may worsen skin conditions.
Instead of cranking up the heat, opt for lukewarm temperatures and keep the shower time brief. Use moisturizing cleansers, and after your shower, immediately apply moisturizer to replenish and rehydrate your skin.
Protect your skin from the sun. After completing your skin cleansing routine, there’s an additional step to help maintain healthy, hydrated skin before heading outdoors: Take time to apply a layer of sunscreen to skin that will be exposed, including your face, ears and hands. Reapply every two hours if you’re spending a great deal of time outside. Sun damage can prematurely age the skin. You may not feel the heat as much during colder times of year, but the rays are still capable of damaging your skin, maybe even more so because you don’t feel the burn

3 Steps to Practice a Healthy Skin Routine
- Use a humidifier in your room. Adding moisture to your environment may help prevent over-drying and promote better air quality for your overall health, including your skin.
- Use glycerin-based soap. A glycerin-based soap like Pears gently cleanses your skin without stripping essential moisture.
- Moisturize immediately after showering. Showering, especially at higher water temperatures, can strip your body’s natural oils. Applying lotion immediately after you shower helps retain the moisture your body nee
