Human Nature's partner supplier, AIDFI, wins the BBC World Challenge The Alternative Indigenous Development Foundation Inc. (AIDFI), Human Nature's lemongrass partner supplier, won the top prize of US$20,000 from the BBC World Challenge with their entry entitled 'The Only Way is Up'. Their winning project, installing and using the hydraulic ram pump in over 170 upland villages, has not only helped to save cash were expensive water pumps once were, but it has also lessened the number of hours of back-breaking manual labor carrying water uphill. The hydraulic ram pump uses the power of a river's flow to push water uphill without other energy input. The BBC World Challenge is a global competition aimed at finding projects or small businesses from around the world that have shown enterprise and innovation at a grassroots level. AIDFI and the lemongrass farmers cooperative, Mambugsay Essential Oil Producers Association or MEOPA, are our joint partners for our lemongrass needs. Together, along with every purchase of products containing lemongrass, we are helping develop organic farming in the Philippines and improve the lives of many Filipino farmers. Congratulations AIDFI! We will continue to support you all the way and we are so happy for your victory. A testimony from the heart Alopecia, a medical term used for loss of hair or baldness. In Filipino, we call it 'poknat'. Some people think it's not such a big deal and just choose to ignore it but for a little boy named John Perry, his 'poknat' was the butt of many jokes and teasing from schoolmates causing him to lose confidence and at times, just break down and cry. John and his mother seemed hopeless because after having tried so many ointments and gone to different doctors, there just didn't seem to be a cure for this. One day, during a home visit, his teacher, a Human Nature dealer decided to give him a bottle of Human Nature Strengthening Shampoo. She asked him to try it and she decided to document it to see if there were changes. Every 2 weeks, she saw that baby hair had grown and after several months, she noticed that there were no more bald patches. She continues to give him the Human Nature Strengthening Shampoo and now, John no longer has to wear a bonnet everywhere he goes. :) The pictures below are images taken of John Perry's bald spot (Before and After)

This probably isn't the easiest thing to take in for make-up lovers and especially for animal lovers out there but that red pigment in your lipstick is made from an ingredient called carmine. Carmine comes from crushed insects. Disgusting, right? Now how's that for a bloody red shade? A bit disturbing, no? With Human Nature's Sheer Lip Soother Tinted Lip Balm though, you don't have to worry. We choose to go for a cruelty-free and natural alternative – minerals. In order to get that nice hint of color, we've infused our Sheer Lip Soother with iron oxides, natural earth minerals that can give off beautiful color in make-up. Plus, we've also added rice bran oil, castor oil and vitamin E to keep your lips super moisturized and kissable for that time when you're caught under the mistletoe. Tips on wearing Sheer Lip Soother Tinted Lip Balm: Natural/Everyday Look: Apply once for the sheerest hint of color and use with Love Minerals by Human Nature Pressed Powder Foundation and Blush Dramatic Evening Look: Apply 2-3 glides for a deeper tint and wear with smokey eyes for a dramatic effect. 
DEALER OF THE MONTH: Angeli Ganal 
A true believer and advocate of Human Nature, that's what she is. Angeli is a hardworking, driven and dedicated dealer who has been a part of the Human Nature family since April 2009. But, before Angeli FULLY committed herself to being a Human Nature dealer, she was the Head of Business Development for a local hotel and resort in the South while selling Human Nature products on the side. She cheekily shared “I entertained text-in orders while presiding meetings and it was funny at times!” She then realized that she enjoyed selling Human Nature products and so she decided to quit her good-paying job of more than 5 years and now sells Human Nature products full time and enjoys more time with family and friends. “I simplified life for the more important things and I'm happy to say that Human Nature has played a significant role in this transformation” shares Angeli. Angeli found out about Human Nature while surfing the internet one day whilst she was hunting down replenishment stock of other organic products that she had run out of. A day after stumbling upon Human Nature's website, her fascination with the advocacy, the vision, the people behind the brand, the social relevance and not to mention the products then urged her to take action and sign up to be a dealer. Her client list now expands from Manila to Makati to Laguna, to Alabang to Quezon City to Las Pinas, to Butuan and even all the way to Singapore! Angeli's selling method is having constant visibility. From using the products on yourself to get compliments such as “Oh, your skin is glowing!” to using the products in public and stirring attention like “Wow! That smells good, what is that?” to having Multiply and Facebook pages, the possibilities of attracting new clients is endless. Also, “personalized service helps to set you apart as a dealer”, she says. She even goes out of her way to deliver products herself to first-time clients. Now that is customer service, the Human Nature way. If you are having trouble viewing this email, please read the online version.
