Local Lip Balm Company Helps African Children
A
new local company, Face to Face Organics, in St. Anthony, is raising money to help Ethiopian children with facial deformities. With the sale of every
tube of its organic lip balm, the company donates $1 to a program that helps correct such deformities. Face to Face Organics was founded by recent University of Minnesota graduates
Travis Brew and Jimmy Ennen, who met in school and shared a passion for entrepre- neurship that would make a positive difference in the lives of others. They were later joined by a third partner, Chris Tastad. Each tube of lip balm is handmade with renewable energy and is GMO- and
cruelty-free. With each purchase, $1 automatically goes to Project Harar Ethiopia, which helps provide surgeries for poor children with such facial deformities as cleft lip, cleft palate and noma, a gangrenous disease that can lead to the destruction of tissue in the mouth and cheeks. “Facial deformation in Africa is a serious and sad problem,” says Brew. “In com-
munities stricken by extreme poverty and malnutrition, these problems can steal away basic functions like eating, speaking or smiling. In a country where the average annual salary is $1,200, it’s impossible for families alone to pay for correctional operations.” The newest regular Face to Face outlet is the University of Minnesota, which now sells the organic lip balm in its law school bookstores and on the Twin Cities, Morris and Crookston campuses.

Aark Advanced Electrolysis Offers Discount for New Clients
D Diane Christofferson
iane Christofferson, owner of Aark Advanced Electrolysis and Advanced Wellness, is offering a 10 percent discount for first-time clients throughout May. Besides electrolysis, Christofferson also provides skin rejuvenation through LED light therapy and ionic foot detoxification at her New Brighton loca- tion.
All of her services help clients improve both inside and out, she says, but electrolysis may show the most dramatic change.
“There is a big boost in self-confidence for women who receive electrolysis treatments for facial hair, even after the first visit,” says Christofferson, who has been in business in the Twin Cities since 1990. “It’s like night and day.” She also carries natural and organic hair- and skin-care products from Greenbody Greenplanet and Stillwater Skin, both of which are woman-owned Minnesota busi- nesses, and she offers Young Living Essential Oil products as well. “My work embraces the whole person,” she says. “Besides helping with self-image as a result of removing unwanted hair, the foot and skin treatments help people detoxify from stress and from what they’ve put in their bodies. They end up feeling much better about themselves in several ways.” In addition, Christofferson helps clients understand the importance of stress management and nutrition. “It’s really about a person’s total wellness.”
