‘Consider Yourself Kissed' nails the complex emotions of motherhood
It's a made-for-the-movies beginning. On a sunny day in 2013 in London's Victoria Park, a British man's young daughter jumps into a pond to see the ducks up close and ends up face down in the water instead. While he's got his back turned, she has stopped moving, her coat floating around her. Who should notice but Coralie Bower, an attractive, single 29-year-old, recently moved to Britain from Australia. She jumps in and saves the girl without hesitation. Then she slips away, forcing the girl's father to search every cafe in the area so that he can show his gratitude. Think of chasing Cinderella but replace the glass slipper with a latte.

Golden Bird Jewels Expands to UK After Strong Success in U.S. Market
Renowned moissanite jewelry brand enters UK market after strong growth and customer trust established in the U.S. jewellry industry. 'The positive response in the U.S. has inspired us to bring our unique jewellery offerings to the UK market.'— Vijay Sarkheliya Founder & CEO of Golden Bird Jewels LONDON, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, June 2, 2025 / / -- Golden Bird Jewels Expands to UK After Strong Success in U.S. Market The globally loved brand in affordable luxury and moissanite craftsmanship, Golden Bird Jewels, announces its arrival into the UK market following an impressive performance in the U.S. fine jewellery market. Well-known for offering its customers luxury handmade Moissanite and lab diamond jewellry at reasonable costs, the brand changes the target of attention to British customers with the guarantee of honesty in regards to sourcing, quality, and personalization. Golden Bird Jewels (GBJ) has been turned into a household name in the United States due to its mission to make fine jewellery an eternal affection and individuality statement. Due to its growing popularity, especially among millennials and Gen Z buyers, it has spread into other countries, and this is a major milestone in the brand's international growth. 'The affection and trust we have received from our U.S. clientele has been more than what we expected', says, a representative of Golden Bird Jewels. 'The UK was the logical extension of our journey. British customers care about quality, sustainability, and artistry – basically what we are all about.' Empowering Jewellery Lovers with Affordable Luxury By offering a wide range of ethically sourced crafts made of Moissanite, lab-grown diamonds, and quality metals including 925 sterling silver, 18K gold, and platinum, Golden Bird Jewels differentiates out in a competitive market. GBJ is the ideal fusion of classic craftsmanship with minimalist themes, with its design studios and manufacture based in India, a nation renowned for its exquisite jewellery traditions. Ranging from engagement rings to wedding bands, to bracelets, earrings, and customized heirloom designs, all Golden Bird pieces are born with an unrelenting eye for detail and top-grade cut quality with an eye toward responsible luxury. This expansion means UK customers can now access Golden Bird's most celebrated collections, including: Ready to Ship Collection – Pre-made favorites ready for fast delivery. Custom Moissanite Jewellery – Personalized pieces designed to reflect individual stories. Lab Diamond Creations – Conflict-free and environmentally conscious designs. Gemstone Fine Jewellery – A touch of color and symbolism crafted with precision. UK Launch Highlights To commemorate its UK debut, Golden Bird Jewels is introducing a curated collection designed exclusively for British customers. In addition, GBJ's UK-focused website will feature local currency pricing, responsive customer service, and access to a growing gallery of client diaries and testimonials. UK customers can explore the collection and place orders via the official website: What Sets Golden Bird Jewels Apart? Golden Bird Jewels is not an ordinary jeweler. It's a purpose-driven brand guided by customer-first principles, high performance standards, and strong ethical values. The company works with an integrated approach, where there is a focus on: Handcrafted Excellence: Every stone is chosen individually and carefully mounted by master artisans. Creative Innovation: GBJ is always on top of trends, yet respects tradition, as the design studios release new collections regularly. Affordable Transparency: Working straight with artisans and cutting away the middlemen, GBJ incurs massive savings that it passes down to the client. Sustainability: The company encourages ethical manufacturing without sacrificing beauty or brilliance by using lab-created diamonds and metals that are sourced sustainably. The foundation of Golden Bird Jewels is built on a clear and meaningful goal: to create jewellery that is a reasonably priced representation of honesty and love. Every piece, from personalized charms for life's special occasions to engagement rings for eternity, is made to empower the user. 'That's our goal – to deliver handcrafted beauty without overpriced tags,' CEO says. 'Jewellery is deeply personal. Be it a token of love, a tribute to self, or a heritage for generations, our pieces are designed to make a difference.' The company's ideology – customer-first service, honesty, innovation, teamwork – is woven into all steps of its procedure. Golden Bird Jewels believes in carrying out business with integrity and creating an everlasting relationship with customers, suppliers, and other collaborators. Customer - Focused Jewellry Made with Global Expertise One of the ways that GBJ differs from other companies is the vertically integrated business model. Every piece of jewellery is designed, produced, and tested in-house. The company has manufacturing plants in India, which have a centuries-old legacy in jewellery making. This helps GBJ regulate the quality at each point while enabling the locals and sustainable practices. From silicon carbide-made Moissanite to ethically sourced lab diamonds, the brand is choosy about its materials for strength, brightness, and ethics. The outcome is breathtaking, conflict-free gemstones matching mined diamonds in aesthetics, but not in price and impact on the earth. Golden Bird Jewels has been given excellent reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and Google, with thousands of delighted customers who confirm the brand's dedication to quality, customization, and speedy services. The responsive support team and transparent policies are also the reasons why the company is celebrated, qualities that form its identity in an industry where confusion and distrust prevail. So far, GBJ has served over 100K customers and created more than 250K jewellery pieces. From New York to Los Angeles – and now, even London – its global family keeps on expanding. Future Outlook With its UK launch in full swing, Golden Bird Jewels has aggressive international expansion plans for 2025 and further. The next destinations are to be Australia, the UAE, and certain European countries, where there is increasing interest for ethically made, affordable luxury. Furthermore, the brand is also spending to provide augmented reality (AR) shopping, AI-driven customization, and sustainable packaging to boost its digital-first strategy.

The Frequency School breaks GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the "195" song featuring the most nationalities
LONDON and LOS ANGELES, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ -- The Frequency School set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for 'Most nationalities to contribute vocals to a musical recording (single song)' with the '195" song on Monday, in a bid to raise awareness about gender equality and to ignite a global movement uplifting people through the transformative power of soundhealing frequencies. The record-breaking '195" is the first song in history featuring women from all of the world's 195 countries and using sound healing frequencies and the 528 Hz 'Love Frequency'. The Frequency School co-founded by U.S. Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum music producer Maejor, Martina Fuchs, Kingsley M, Brandon Lee and Aaron Dawson produced this visionary, powerful and universal campaign and premiered it during the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, from January 20-24. Using the sounds of birds and the heartbeat as instrumental elements, the '195" aims to raise the world's frequency, elevate humanity, and trigger a positive impact by uniting and empowering women worldwide. One woman in every one of the world's 195 countries recognized by the United Nations said one word: 'EQUALITY' in her national language or native tongue and sent in her voice and video recording. The number of women and nationalities participating in the song was officially verified by a Guinness World Records adjudicator. Martina Fuchs, Executive Producer of the '195" and Co-Founder of the Frequency School, said: 'It has always been my dream to produce the first song in history featuring every country on the planet. Our vision was to unite 195 ordinary women from all walks of life in this pioneering and groundbreaking initiative to advocate for gender equality and the rights of women and girls, and to help people struggling with mental health issues. Breaking this record is only the beginning: we are on a global mission to make our world a more peaceful place.' Maejor, Founder and CEO of the Frequency School who produced the song, said: 'The world record is a testimony to our work and the universal language of music. This achievement is a call to every one of us to lift each other up and spread peace, love and harmony. We chose to use 528 Hz which is often referred to as the 'love frequency', or the frequency of transformation and miracles. We wanted to promote more respect and fairness for women, as well as deep inner healing and a state of peace. The transformative vibration of 528 Hz can inspire positive action and empathy and people to act more kindly and inclusively.' According to scientific studies and music theory, Solfeggio frequencies, ranging from 174 Hz to 963 Hz, offer unique sound patterns that promote relaxation, stress relief, and overall well-being. These frequencies have been shown to positively impact mental, emotional, and physical health by generating vibrations that help achieve a state of calm and balance of the mind, body and spirit. Kingsley Maduka, Co-Founder of the Frequency School, said: 'We're incredibly excited to set a new world record, and I am honored to have the youngest lady in my family, my 6 year-old daughter, to be apart of such an intentional women empowerment project, focused on wellness. Being a man, it's important that we do our parts to support our better halfs for the sake of the mental health and wellness of humanity. The Frequency School is such an amazing platform for utilizing, implementing and amplifying wellness tools - working at the intersection of music, wellness, mental health and education is some of the most impactful work I've been able to be apart of.' Brandon Lee, Co-Founder of the Frequency School, said: 'Every one of us enters this world through a woman—women are the very heartbeat of humanity. I'm deeply honored to be part of this project and inspired by the future initiatives we're building at Frequency School to uplift women's wellness. Earning the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title will amplify our mission globally, allowing us to create an even greater impact.' Aaron Dawson, Co-Founder and Creative Director of the Frequency School, said: 'This project is much more than a world record, it's a reflection of the immense gratitude I hold for women everywhere. I carry deep appreciation for every woman who have shaped me: my mother, grandmothers, aunts, cousins, godchildren, teachers, ancestors, and the many women whose love and existence have given me and the world such beautiful life. A better world exists when we honor women's gifts, invest in them, and protect their well-being.' Miriam Moriati, President of the Kiribati Rotaract Youth Club and a Women and Youth representative for OARS (Ocean Alliance for Resilience and Sustainability), said: 'I'm from Kiribati, a small island nation in the Pacific, where our highest point is just 3 meters above sea level. Our women in Kiribati are vulnerable due to gender equality not being part of our culture and traditions. They are often the first to be affected by crises and the last to recover. Being part of this initiative to support women on an international stage is an incredible honor. Opportunities to represent our small country are rare, and I am grateful for this platform to amplify the voices of Kiribati women.' Sawilanji Nachula, a middle school student representing Zambia, said: 'I am a 13-year old Zambian and live on the 'Mighty Zambezi' near the Victoria Falls. I am currently a student at Falcon College in Esigodini, Zimbabwe, where I will start my grade 9 next month. I am both honoured and inspired to smash the world record with so many already successful and soon to be successful members. I doubt I will be able to contribute much myself for now. But I will be sure to promote gender equality as I get older.' Inspired by the murmuration of birds and nature's synchronicity, the visualizer of the song includes art elements evoking raw emotions and reflecting the power and harmony of women, and their aspiration for freedom and collective strength.
