Just had lunch there the other day and had the Tofu Kabob – organic firm tofu cubes and portabella mushrooms encased in a delicious sauce featuring roasted red peppers, pomegranate molasses, roasted walnuts and cumin over a bed of rice.  So delish!

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …

enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to…
something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a youth she’s content to leave behind….
a past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to
retelling it in her old age….
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra…
one friend who always makes her laugh… and one who lets her cry…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …….

a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family….
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a feeling of control over her destiny…..
how to fall in love without losing herself..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without;
ruining the friendship…..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…..

when to try harder… and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

that she can’t change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
that her childhood may not have been perfect…but it’s over…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

what she would and wouldn’t do for love or more…..
how to live alone…. even if she doesn’t like it…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. .

whom she can trust,
whom she can’t,
and why she shouldn’t take it personally…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

where to go…
be it to her best friend’s kitchen table..
or a charming Inn in the woods…
when her soul needs soothing…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

What she can and can’t accomplish in a day…
a month…and a year…

Four Truffles - a Women 4 Women Journey

Katherine Kwei finds her design inspiration from her past.  As a young girl, Kwei remembers spending afternoons with her grandmother folding wonton dumplings, knotting cords for necklaces filled with jade and precious stones, and looking over the intricate embroidery patterns of old quilts and robes.  Her pieces have a decidedly modern authority while her signature Chinese “Eternity” knot-inspired weave carries the whisper of venerated techniques and detailed craftsmanship.

Thank you for sharing these Philipp and we’re looking forward to our next adventure filming our Women4Women Journey!

InJoy…!

“For the quality of the product and the costs incurred when sourcing such pure ingredients, I think their body butters are appropriately priced at $8-$24, depending on size.  And with 10% of their profits also donated to women’s and children’s causes, the prices aren’t bad at all.  I’ve very easily (and several times) purchased body butters in the $20-$25 range that can’t even touch these ingredients, and let’s just say those purchases didn’t involve any kind of philanthropy—so this is actually pretty nice.  I am a huge fan of Four Truffles! “  Amber

“We at Bridges of Hope want to offer a huge expression of thanks to Four Truffles for your employment of some of our South African micro-enterprise entrepreneurs!  A handful of unemployed moms in the impoverished township of Sweet Home banded together, capitalizing on their sewing skills and determination to provide for their families, and began a Sewing Micro-Enterprise called Masikhule, which means “Let’s Grow”.  One of their first and biggest customers was Four Truffles who commissioned them to make the linen pouches which hold their lovely wooden truffles.  The ladies worked quickly and carefully to produce a quality product.  Their excitement about the project spread throughout the township, causing others in the community to take interest in the empowerment training Bridges of Hope offers and giving it instant credibility.  Not only are the Sewing Ladies blessed, but now others in the community are eager to learn how they can be similarly empowered!  Thanks Four Truffles, for believing in these ladies and giving them an opportunity to not only earn an income, but to shine! ”

Empowering Women Locally and Globally 

Organic skincare company Four Truffles may be a small business, but founder Ana Soriano has made a huge commitment to giving back. For starters, she buys eco-friendly argan oil and shea butter for her bodycare products from female-owned cooperatives in North and West Africa. “Cultivating these ingredients is a major source of income for women there,” says Soriano. And even though her Palos Verdes Peninsula, California-based company is a start-up, Soriano donates 10 percent of net sales to local and international charities that help disadvantaged women and children. “It’s definitely a financial challenge for us to do this but I’m a big believer in paying it forward,” she says.

GET INVOLVED

Four Truffles donates 10 percent of all product sales directly to women’s and children’s charities, you help every time you make a purchase. We also donate additional monies that we collect via promotional sales proceeds directly to a different charity every quarter.

We like to think of our Four Truffles customers as people who like to look good, do good and feel good.  We believe beauty is found inside and out and that you deserve products that perform for you inside and out.

Every dollar adds-up, especially internationally, so a little goes a long way. We like to imagine that with your support, we’re making someone’s life just a little better today than it was yesterday. We are eternal optimists and our beliefs are strong even when the world may seem bleak.

Palos Verdes Juniors Women’s Club

In the United States we are a major supporter of Palos Verdes Junior Women’s Club whose outreach to women and children in crisis is tied to the local community.

Ana, our Founder, has been a member and hands-on activist with Palos Verdes Junior Women’s Club for years. She was drawn to their hands-on support and dedication to helping women and children in her own backyard. Throughout the year, they hold multiple fundraising activities with two major events during the Holiday season and Spring. The local outreach, assistance and benefits provide community enrichment, critical needs, crisis prevention and intervention, support, public services and scholarships that make a huge impact.

Bridges of Hope, South Africa | Visit the Bridges of Hope Website

Since hope is one of the “four truffles” it is only fitting that we chose this powerful organization that has brought hope for the sick, hope for the dying, hope for orphans, hope for widows, hope for gang members, hope for the young, and hope for the elderly with a model of community transformation that works!

We love that Bridges of Hope offers long‐term, self‐sustaining solutions to at-risk women and children who are suffering. We specifically donate money to sponsor orphans to attend boarding school as we believe that providing an education helps opens the door to a child’s hope and increased odds for a better future.

NLC, Haiti | Visit the NLC Website

We first discovered New Life to Children on Imagine This! TV and felt a tug on our hearts after reading their story. NLC is a grass roots movement that helps rescue children at risk of starvation and enslavement near Port-au-Prince, Haiti and provides them with a safe house.

Don Skow heads up a team who has been doing incredible work with the Haitians for nearly a decade. We reached out to Don and offered a donation of body care products as part of the basic essentials needed for the women and children. In a country already plagued with the nations highest poverty rates we feel that every effort helps. Our goal is to raise funds to help build homes for the families by donating the proceeds from our “Make Your Mark” promotion.

Ana Soriano, the founder and owner of the brand, had a mentor that used to talk about finding treasures. He called it “Truffle Hunting” as they were rare, hard to find, and exciting once you uncover them.   His kind of treasure hunting was a metaphor for business opportunities but Ana realized hers were more spiritual.

She chose the brand name, Four Truffles, to represent the philosophy and function of her treasure hunt. Spiritually, the four treasures represent inner beauty – Love, Hope, Faith & Eternity, while outer beauty is represented and attainable from the performance driven natural 4T PDN Complex.

Four Truffles aims to share the meaningful stories such as the above with our customers from the ingredient selection to creating beneficial products that help skin and empower women.  We want to help people understand what it means to be beautiful inside and out. The Four Truffles line is simply a reflection of her treasure hunt and passion.
