It was in early 2009 when a fellow volunteer of Gawad Kalinga (a Non Government Organization whose mission is to build the nation through uplifting the dignity of the poor) told me about organic products called Human Nature that would also support the cause of GK and asked me to become a dealer. She gave me a catalog (now called a Magalogue) and I fell in love while browsing through the pages right there and then! Yet it was not easy to let go of the products that I got used to especially when there were generous people giving imported products that I felt was safer since it is "imported" or from a first world country. The catalog also contained on how some ingredients /contents of commercial products can do more harm than good to our skin which triggered me to gradually switch to Human Nature and be a dealer as well as an advocate to use safe products! I made a point also to seek other brands that contain organic ingredients.
But it was just last September 18, 2010 when I came from a Dealer's Assembly for Human Heart Nature Mandaue Branch (We Love Organics Group) and one of the dealers shared that she has been an organic fanatic ever since and would really take time to research the internet in order to create from scratch organic food for her kid! I felt a light bulb flicker on my head ( imagine the ones you see on comic books when an idea comes to mind) upon hearing about the word "internet", which inspired me to create a blog that talks about organic and natural stuff. During this event, the branch operators also shared their passion to preserve the environment and love for country which somehow lead to love for the organic products as well as share it through selling the products. Lots of ideas ran through my head then. Thus, Opting Organics was born though it had a different that time.
Opting Organics is a journal that attempts to share stories and to continuously seek health and wellness through using organic and natural products!
Cheers to organics and health!
