March 2009 The Paige Turner: Click Your Way to a Better World
Paige Wolf Media & Public Relations Newsletter
With the whole world stretched for money, charitable giving may see a sharp downturn in 2009. While nonprofits will keep coming up with wonderful incentives to earn your much-needed support (stay tuned for details on The Career Wardrobe's A Perfect Fit in June), there are ways even people without a dime to spare can make a few quarters appear for their favorite causes.

Several Web sites and even Facebook applications rely on the power of the Internet and sponsors to turn clicks and posts into cash for worthy causes. You may have heard of The Animal Rescue Site, The Breast Cancer Site, and the other sites in the Greater Good Network. The sponsors on this site make it possible for a simple click to actually result in free mammograms, food for shelter animals, and more. Make it a "favorite place" and click away while dozing off on a conference call.

Everywun.com works on a similar principle. You pick a badge for the charity you want to support, place it on your blog or social-networking page, and when your friends click on it, sponsors make a donation.

As for applications like "Lil Green Patch," I can't find any hard proof that they are actually saving square feet of rainforest. But I will in good faith, and because everyone wants to unlock the shitake mushroom, continue to send and accept plants. Afterall, there are worse things we could click on.

Organic Skincare Pioneer Launches New Spa Process
 
WAI HOPE Organic Skincare Inc. announces the launch of the DermOxyZone Professionally Administered Topical Skin Infusion System. DermOxyZone is a four-step process specially designed to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun damage, scarring, broken capillaries, acne, and damage caused from carcinomas. This process is available at select spas and wellness centers and will soon be in spas across the country.

WAI HOPE Organic Skincare was founded in 1996 by Vincene Parrinello, a breast cancer survivor who formulated and founded Hope Aesthetics in 1991. Found to have remarkable healing power through its unique formulation, the naturopathic skin care line became a favorite among celebrities, including Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, and Susan Lucci. Always on the cutting edge working with unusual ingredients, Parrinello was the pioneer in formulating skin care using green, red, and white teas, organically grown fruits, flowers, vegetables, and herbs from organic growers since 1992. The full line of WAI HOPE Organic Skincare is available for purchase online. Look to the bottom of this newsletter for a 20% off discount code on your purchase of $100 or more.

Nominate Someone for a Natural Beauty Makeover
 
Extend your haircut — and your budget — with an appointment at juju salon & organics. With each haircut, clients are entitled to a complimentary trim and tweak. That means a few weeks after your cut, you can come in for a free 10- minute appointment with your stylist to trim your bangs and clean up any heaviness or growth that's cramping your style. This gives tremendous added life to cuts, allowing clients to extend full appointments an extra few weeks. Talk about a recession spending deal.

Do you know someone who has had a long, hard winter and deserves a spring makeover? With the recession in full force this season, so many women haven't taken care of themselves the way they deserve. Nominate someone to emerge this spring with a natural beauty makeover from juju salon & organics and juju spa & organics. E-mail juju with a few sentences telling them why your nominee deserves a fresh outlook for spring 2009. Winners will be chosen the first day of spring, March 30.
