Happy Sunday, Folks!

Well, it was an intense past week with fires and a hurricane😞, but the week ahead is looking like pure bliss☀️☀️☀️! Summer temperatures and almost empty beaches :). Its time to relax and enjoy. There are new clubs and classes to join, a charity sale for the 🐕&🐈, live music, DJ sets, Sip & paint, and an Emraizart extravaganza!

🗞️ In other news, this our 51st consecutive week of Freshly Squeezed 🏆… Meaning, we haven’t taken a weekend off for almost 1 year… And yes, its time for our annual digital detox 🙂. We’re off to the jungle🌴, so there won’t be a newsletter for the next couple of weeks. Hence, we’ve filled the “coming soon” section, and will be back with fresh energy soon! 💥
