Early Blooms by Jayda Nelson

“Everything changed one morning when crimson stains appeared on Lily’s uniform…”

In the bustling corridors of Crestwood High, fourteen-year-old Lily Thompson was known for her fiery spirit and infectious laughter. She was a bright student, adored by teachers, and had a close-knit group of friends. However, everything changed one morning when she discovered crimson stains on her school uniform. She had gotten her menstruation earlier than her classmates, and the sudden change left her feeling vulnerable and embarrassed.

Early Blooms tenderly follows Lily’s journey from confusion to quiet courage. As she navigates whispered rumors, first-time fears, and the search for a trusted confidante, Lily learns that growing up can be both daunting and beautiful—and that true friendship often blooms in the most unexpected moments.

Video Feature: “Dreams of Terror” by The Homeless Ones

Power Pulse Magazine is thrilled to unveil the haunting new music video “Dreams of Terror,” the latest visionary release from The Homeless Ones. In this gorgeously unsettling short film, the producer duo crafts an audiovisual odyssey that blurs the line between reality and nightmare.

From the outset, viewers are plunged into a shadowy urban labyrinth: rain-slicked streets shimmer under flickering neon, while dissonant synth textures pulse through the air. Kameron and Malik—the faces behind The Homeless Ones—appear as phantasmic figures, their LED-lit visors casting eerie patterns across crumbling concrete walls. Choreographed dancers emerge and dissolve like ghosts, their movements echoing the track’s brooding tempo.

Director Mara Velez employs stark contrasts—harsh spotlights against inky silhouettes, sudden cutaways to dilapidated storefronts—to heighten the sense of unease. A mysterious protagonist, drenched and breathless, races through alleys strewn with cryptic graffiti, her frantic journey mirroring the song’s themes of confronting buried fears.

Cinematographer Luis Ortega captures every detail in rich, moody palettes of indigo and crimson, while staccato editing intensifies the video’s dreamlike disorientation. The climax—a slow-motion reveal of the protagonist confronting her reflection in a shattered mirror—lingers long after the final beat reverberates.

“Dreams of Terror” is more than a music video; it’s an immersive short film that redefines genre conventions. Watch the full premiere on Power Pulse’s digital channel, and don’t miss our in-depth director’s commentary and exclusive behind-the-scenes photos in next month’s print issue.

Power Pulse Magazine: THo Management Spotlight

How THo Is Powering a New Generation of Gamers, Musicians, and Fashion Innovators

A Unified Vision for Diverse Talent

THo Management isn’t just reshaping artist careers—it’s building ecosystems where music producers, esports athletes, DJs, and fashion designers thrive side by side. By leveraging data-driven A&R, bespoke branding strategies, and 360° support services, THo ensures each act—from bedroom beatmakers to runway-ready designers—hits their highest potential. Here’s a closer look at six standout talents under the THo umbrella.

1. The Homeless Ones

Category: Music Producers (Squad Mob Entertainment)

• Who they are: A duo of beat architects blending neo-soul grooves with trap rhythms. Their remixes have racked up millions of streams on SoundCloud and Spotify.

• THo’s Edge: THo implemented geo-analytics to pinpoint emerging markets in Southeast Asia, fueling The Homeless Ones’ first international playlist placements. They also designed a direct-to-fan merch drop—limited-edition cassette tapes—that generated 150% of projected revenue within 48 hours.

• On Their Partnership:

“THo saw potential in our sound before anyone else,” says co-founder Jay “Cassette” Nguyen. “Their data insights turned our side hustle into a global project.”

2. Asiarox

Category: Esports Gamer (Power 102.7 FM)

• Who they are: A top-tier FPS competitor known for lightning-fast reflexes and strategic map control in “Valorant” tournaments. Asiarox streams weekly on Power 102.7’s Twitch channel, averaging 10K live viewers.

• THo’s Edge: Through sponsorship matchmaking and in-stream ad integration, THo secured Asiarox a multi-year contract with a leading gaming headset brand—boosting her annual income by 40%. THo’s community-growth toolkit grew her Discord server from 1K to 25K members in three months.

• On Their Partnership:

“THo treats gaming like any other creative craft,” Asiarox explains. “They help me pivot from player to influencer without losing authenticity.”

3. DJ Xann

Category: Pop Music DJ (Power 102.7 FM)

• Who they are: A high-energy turntablist fusing chart-topping pop hooks with live mashups. Headliner at Power 102.7’s summer block parties.

“I’ve doubled my bookings since THo took over my promotions,” says DJ Xann. “They know exactly when and where to push my sound.”

4. DJ Lantos

Category: Reggaeton Music DJ (Power 102.7 FM)

• Who they are: A rising star in Latin urban beats, mixing Caribbean rhythms with club-ready drops. Resident at Power 102.7’s weekly Reggaeton Nights.

• THo’s Edge: By analyzing Spotify’s “Viral 50” charts in Latin America, THo identified two underexposed cities where DJ Lantos launched pop-up performances—each sold out within hours. THo also negotiated a featured slot on a major Latin-music festival lineup.

• On Their Partnership:

“They don’t just book shows; they create cultural moments,” DJ Lantos notes.

5. Jeana Nelson

Category: Clothing Designer

• Who they are: A streetwear visionary whose gender-fluid collections blend utility with avant-garde silhouettes. Stocked in boutique shops across L.A. and London.

Why It Works: THo’s 360° Formula

• Holistic Branding: From merch to media, every touchpoint reinforces each talent’s unique narrative.

Inflation may have tightened our wallets, but it hasn’t dampened our desire to look—and feel—our very best. In fact, savvy shoppers are turning to brands that deliver high-impact formulas, innovative packaging, and skin-friendly ingredients without charging premium prices. Here’s a roundup of six cosmetic lines that are absolutely “killing it” in today’s economy, proving that beauty needn’t break the bank.

1. The Ordinary: Science-Forward Skincare at Drugstore Prices

Why it’s thriving: Launched by DECIEM in 2016, The Ordinary revolutionized the industry by offering single-ingredient actives (niacinamide, retinol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid) at fractions of the cost of department-store serums. With ingredient lists that read like a chemist’s dream and transparent pricing (many serums under $10), it caters to informed consumers who know exactly what they want—and don’t want to overpay.

Inflation-busting move: Bulk-size refills and multipurpose formulations. Their recent “Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5” refill pouches save up to 30% versus tubs, and bestselling products like “Buffet” combine peptides, probiotics, and amino acids in one bottle, trimming both steps and costs.

2. e.l.f. Cosmetics: Trend-Driven, Wallet-Friendly Fun

Why it’s thriving: e.l.f. (which stands for “eyes, lips, face”) has built its empire on eye-catching, TikTok-approved products at $5–$15 retail. From whipped highlighters to lash-lifting mascaras, the brand harnesses social media trends faster than most—and keeps prices ultra-low.

Inflation-busting move: Rapid-release “drops” tied to viral challenges. The “Halo Glow Liquid Filter” primer went from concept to shelf in under eight weeks, capitalizing on influencer buzz without the markup.

3. CeraVe: Dermatologist-Recommended Hydration

Why it’s thriving: Acquired by L’Oréal in 2017, CeraVe was already renowned among dermatologists for its gentle, ceramide-rich formulations. Today, its creams and cleansers maintain an accessible $10–$20 price point thanks to scale production and minimal marketing frills.

Inflation-busting move: Multipurpose “Essential Moisturizing Cream” for face and body, reducing the need to buy separate products. Bulk-size tubs and subscription discounts (up to 20% off) keep repeat purchases affordable.

4. NYX Professional Makeup: Salon-Quality Colorplay

Why it’s thriving: Born in the backstreets of Los Angeles, NYX has grown into an L’Oréal powerhouse by offering everything from ultra-matte lip creams to bold pigments at $6–$20. Its global distribution in mass retailers and e-commerce platforms has only strengthened its value proposition during tough economic times.

Inflation-busting move: DIY artistry kits—like the “Ultimate Shadow Palette” sets—that bundle 16–24 hues for under $25, giving consumers the thrill of professional palettes with bargain-bin pricing.

5. The Inkey List: Minimalist Meets Affordable

Why it’s thriving: A sister brand to The Ordinary, The Inkey List emphasizes straightforward, single-active formulas packaged in clean, apothecary-style bottles. Price points hover around $10–$15, inviting experimentation without commitment.

Inflation-busting move: Frequent “bundle deals” and customization quizzes. Their “Build-Your-Own Routine” packs let shoppers assemble three serums at a combined 20% discount, sidestepping both sticker shock and unnecessary extras.

6. Fenty Beauty Skin: Inclusivity with a Conscience

Why it’s thriving: Rihanna’s Fenty empire expanded into skincare in 2020, promising routines that cater to all skin tones and types. While slightly pricier ($18–$38), Fenty Skin’s curated three-step “Hydra-Reset” system sells out faster than you can say “flash sale,” thanks to celebrity cachet and Instagram-perfect tubes.

Inflation-busting move: Multipurpose cleansers and toners that double as makeup removers, plus loyalty points through Sephora VIP programs—often translating into 10–15% markdowns on repeat buys.

Consumer Takeaways

Layer smart, not expensive: Combine single-ingredient serums (e.g., niacinamide from The Ordinary) with multifunctional creams (e.g., CeraVe’s moisturizing cream) to build a potent routine for under $50 total.

Watch for refill programs: Many indie and mass-market labels are ditching rigid packaging for pouch refills—keep an eye out for 20–30% savings per ounce.

Leverage loyalty and bundles: Whether it’s Sephora points, brand subscriptions, or BOGO deals, stacking promos can drop your per-unit cost even further.

Looking Ahead

As inflation ebbs and flows, the savvy cosmetic lines will continue to adapt—streamlining formulations, expanding refillable options, and tapping fan communities for rapid product development. For consumers, that means you can still indulge in high-performance skincare and color cosmetics without sacrificing quality for cost. In an era where every dollar counts, these six brands prove that innovation and affordability can go hand in hand—so your beauty routine stays both effective and economically smart.

MAGAZINE SPOTLIGHT: J.N. by Jeana Nelson

By Asia Michael, Style & Culture Editor

Small-Town Roots, Global Impact

From Maplewood, New Jersey, stylist Jeana Nelson launched J.N. as a seven-pair micro-edition on Alive Shoes (code #LZ0938). Handcrafted in Italy, these sneakers merge hometown authenticity with luxury craftsmanship.

Design Highlights

• Croc-Embossed Accents: Glossy black panels at toe and heel, each scale individually pressed for a unique texture.

• Technical Mesh: Breathable, sock-like upper secured by wide elastic straps for easy slip-on wear.

• Speckled Laces: Graphic pop against the monochrome palette, threading through reinforced eyelets.

• Performance Sole: Dual-density EVA and rubber absorb impact and deliver rebound, with a sculpted midsole echoing the croc motif.

• Serial-Numbered Insole: Jeana’s signature and your unique number under the tongue turn each pair into a collectible.

Why J.N. Stands Out

• Ultra-Limited: Only seven pairs—each owner holds a rare piece of wearable art.

• On-Demand Luxury: No minimum orders or wasted inventory—just pure creativity.

• Fast Turnaround: From 3D concept to doorstep in under four weeks.

• Cultural Cachet: Designed for tastemakers who value story, scarcity, and standout style.

“Maplewood taught me the value of community and authenticity,” says Jeana. “I wanted a shoe as bold and genuine as its wearer.”

Pure refinement, distilled through generations of Italian craftsmanship. These shoes are a testament to meticulous detail and elevated elegance:

Artisanal Embossing: Each pair features hand-pressed foliage and geometric motifs, rendered in subtle relief across supple calfskin. The low-contrast pattern catches light at every angle, offering quiet luxury without ostentation.

Hand-Applied Hardware: Polished brass buckles and rivets, individually fastened by master finishers, lend a refined industrial edge. Their mirror-like sheen complements the soft leather, creating a harmonious play of textures.

Featherlight Stitchwork: Ultra-fine saddle stitching traces the silhouette, reinforcing structure while remaining virtually invisible. This precision sewing not only ensures lasting durability but also lends an ethereal, floating quality to the form.

Inner-Frame Padding: Beneath the decorative exterior, a soft leather lining and sculpted heel cup cradle the foot. Every step is cushioned by memory-foam inlays, seamlessly integrated to preserve the shoe’s slim profile.

Polished Sole Edge: The painted midsole edge is burnished to a satin finish, subtly graduating from deep espresso to a warm caramel. It frames the shoe’s silhouette like a handcrafted work of art.

Born in Italy and brought to life by seasoned artisans, these shoes are more than footwear—they’re wearable sculptures, designed for those who demand nothing less than pure refinement.
