A while ago I mentioned Cafe Borrone on my blog and promptly received a thank you from the owners of Cafe Borrone and from Sarah Eisner, a blogger and mom from Menlo Park who worked on their website. Serendipity was at work and Sarah and I have since been connected in many different ways…and boy am I glad! I’ve loved watching her business-savvy mind do amazing things.
Sarah is a co-founder of Juice in the City, a website that offers spectacular local deals (at least 50% off) for fun stuff that appeals to moms. I like Juice in the City because actual moms are out there sourcing the deals and writing about why they love the local business offering the deal. In fact, I’ve purchased deals myself and have been super happy with the value and the businesses that I’ve connected with.
I’m writing about Juice in the City for several reasons:
- Sarah lives in Menlo Park and it’s Menlo Park Week on my blog, so I have to give her a shout out! I also love that the first “local” business that I’m sharing with you this week is so techy…I am in Silicon Valley, after all!
- Juice in the City is going to offer a cool “giveaway” in conjunction with my giveaways this week, so I want you to know what Juice in the City is all about before you see the giveaways!
- Juice in the City is now sourcing deals in the San Francisco Bay Area and Dallas/Collin County, TX. If you live in one of those places, you totally need to sign up to get your daily deal email.
- Juice in the City is going to be expanding to oodles of cities over the next 6 months. If you don’t live in the Bay Area or Dallas/Collin County, you can still sign up so you don’t miss out when they come to your town!
Like I said, Sarah and her business partner New York-based Philippa Smith are smart women. I love their unique take on a growing industry and think they have a lot to offer. I’m happy that Sarah is a local Menlo Park mom and that I’ve gotten a chance to work with her!
Love Juice in the City! What a fun week to have (though I’m a bit south of Menlo Park, I’ll play along :))
Ah, I am such a softie for a good deal! I bought the drop-in preschool art class . . . it just looks so fun! And, Jane, you know I love the idea of painting in a location where someone else cleans up the mess! Thanks for the tip!
you’re close enough, linsey – you just need to come hang out with me more often! 🙂
yea, michelle! so glad you clicked through and got the preschool art class – and, yes, nothing better than painting where someone else cleans up!!!! we are soul sisters, eh?
I just went and bought it myself! anna’s gonna be in heaven! (I won’t tell Cate or she’ll be jealous…)
Aw, Jane, you rock!!!!! And Menlo Parkians – you will be stoked to see the deals and giveaways Jane has this week. Yay!
I’ve got some mad love for “Juice” too, and I think I’m reaching Juice-aholic status: I’ve picked up a facial, an infrared wrap, dinner at Caffe Riace (which was AWESOME!), fro yo, a month of yoga … probably at least a couple more things, too. It’s awesome!
you ARE a juiceaholic! love it! 😉
My brother-in-law is a Fire Chief in Menlo Park…:)
cool! tell him thanks for me! 🙂
I’m loving Menlo Park week. I feel so native!
