Hi! I wanted to thank you with all my heart for all your support this year.

Thank you for supporting and believing in our mission to bring the world 100% Pure health food for the skin without any harsh, unsafe chemicals that can pollute our bodies or our planet. All our 100% Pure formulas are biodegradable, all our labels are printed with non toxic soy ink, our packaging is from post recycled and or recyclable materials, our shipping materials are pre-cycled - we pick up from our neighbors packing materials such as popcorn and packing boxes to re-use them which eliminates waste, and majority of the paper we use is recycled.

Also, thank you deeply for supporting and believing in our mission to help animals. 100% Pure formulas are completely cruelty free (none of our formulas or ingredients were ever tested on animals) and 100% Pure formulas and makeup brushes are vegan (or vegetarian when cruelty free honey ingredients are used). With your generous support to 100% Pure, these are the ways we helped animals this year:

**** We have rescued and placed 21 dogs into loving, happy homes that were abandoned or about to get euthanized at shelters

**** We have donated to private individuals who were not able to afford surgery or necessary medical care for their pets and without our help, a lot of caretakers would have had to of put their pets to sleep or let them suffer in pain. We arranged with animal hospitals to contact us if a caretaker opts out of treatment due to financial inability. We told the hospitals if there are ever cases like this, we are happy to financially help and this year, we saved quite a few pets this way

**** We made generous financial and product donations to no kill shelters that needed to raise money

We originally started out by intending to donate to an animal rights organizations but we got angry emails from our customers that didn't want to support that specific organization. We listened to our customers and decided to use the money to help animals directly. But this is just the beginning, our efforts to help animals will grow so look out for more action from us in 2010.

The one thing that I must ask of you is to please do not buy makeup brushes made with fur and buy makeup brushes from synthetic fibers instead. I know that we often think of fur for clothing but fur is also used to produce makeup brushes. Please please please please watch this video entirely - http://www.peta.org/feat/ChineseFurFarms/index.asp - if you watch this video entirely, you can get a glimpse of why I am urged to help animals and you can drastically stop more animals getting tortured for their fur.

Even though all our current resources are utilized to helping animals because that's something I am personally passionate about, as our company grows and as we're financially able to, there are so many other causes our company wants to get involved in. We currently donate products to a women's shelter that is a haven for battered women who have nowhere else to go - I want to devote more resources to this cause. My fiancee's grandmother passed away from breast cancer and I know for certain that with enough money into research, we can find a cure so women no longer have to suffer from this disease. I also love children and it breaks my heart when children are hungry from poverty. I want to THANK YOU - it is only because of all your support and generosity that our company is able to have the opportunity to help in so many ways. Thank you so very much once again with all my heart. You make the world a better place without you even knowing it! Happy Holidays and God bless you.

Love,

Bunni and Prince

** Bunni is the king of the family. But, his life wasn't always a fairytale. One day Ric and Susie were taking a walk by a river and saw a woman kicking her dog. The scared dog just cowered as the with incessantly beat her dog. Without hesitation, Ric jumped the fence and immediately stopped her while Susie called the police and notified the neighbors. Ric, Susie and James took Bunni for their own and he's been living like a KIng ever since.

** Prince was giving to Susie because the previous caretaker got her house foreclosed on and the apartment she was moving to didn't allow dogs. Prince has since been living a very happy life with Susie, Ric and James
