A Book And A Pack: A Patriotic Giveaway

June 30, 2015 By Jen Chase

You know how when you read something you love, sometimes you want others to love it, too? The Juice Standard is giving back to the community this July 4 by giving out a specialty freebie that will help you bees think…while you drink. Read on.

If you follow our Facebook or Instagram posts around holidays with something to do with freedom, you might’ve sensed that The Juice Standard (TJS) would bleed red, white and blue if we cut her open. Probably blue-green algae, actually, since we’re a juicery and all. We just love this country and what it stands for.

So far this year we’ve reflected our patriotism in our “funanthropy” when we handed out juice at our local fire and police station on Memorial Day, and in May, when we collected your generously donated dollars from glass Singleton returns for the Wounded Warrior Project. And with July 4 being the momma of U.S. freedom-ringing holidays, TJS co-founder Jamie Stephenson wanted to (literally) spread the word of one of her favorite authors, Eric Greitens. Particularly, his book Resilience.
Resilience Book Cover

Resilience is Greitens story of being a Navy SEAL and using his experience to help teach others that hardship isn’t something one “bounces back” from, but is something that everyone can learn to move through and navigate. Not unlike many Buddhist teachings that advocate leaning into our pain as much as we embrace our happy, in the wise words on Greitens’ website, “…there is a path through pain to wisdom, through suffering to strength, and through fear to courage, if we have the virtue of resilience.”

You know how when you read something you love, sometimes you want others to love it, too? Jamie’s wholehearted passion for Greitens’ work means that from July 1-5 (but not the 4th because TJS is closed that day), the first 100 bees who purchase a Singleton Six-Pack—your choice of any six juices or nut milks—will receive a free copy of Resilience that has been personally signed by Greitens, courtesy of The Juice Standard.

The book retails for $17-$26, but if you’re already a Greitens groupie, his John Hancock on the inside cover is beyond worth. We encourage you to read it yourself but also hope you’ll consider picking up a six-pack and paying the book forward to someone in your world who you think will appreciate it.

Our road to WHealth and glowing self should edge a little beeyond our individual selves, don’t you think? We hope you’ll take advantage of this treat. And remember: #ItTakesAHive.

We Salute Our Troops

May 6, 2015 By Jen Chase

Military. Soldiers. Strength. Freedom. How do those words make you feel? Do you have friends or fam who have fought for their country? If so, we don’t even know them but can say without measure that we appreciate their selflessness.

United We Juice

United We Juice

Whatever it is that moves someone to fight for the rights of people they’ve never met is enigmatic at best, and something The Juice Standard honors so deeply that this month, when we were looking to put our philanthropy where our heart is, we chose Wounded Warrior Project. You’ve probably seen the ads on TV or at McCarran: it’s the national org that started as a program to provide comfort items to soldiers who returned home wounded from their tours in Afghanistan in Iraq, and it’s morphed into a full-on, long-term assistance effort supporting any wounded service member as they acclimate to post-military life.

Here’s the deal: In May, for all you beeautiful juicers who are already so good about recycling your glass Singletons for $1, we’ll happily welcome you to donate your buckeroo to our collection for the Wounded Warrior Project cause. By month’s end, we’ll donate in the name of the company from every thoughtful dollar given.

Think about it: Strange countries and scary places. Building camaraderie with folks who might not make it. Danger. The unknown. And for what?

Not for what. For whom. And by for whom we mean for us.

Whether their need is mental, physical or spiritual, once soldiers come home we beelieve in taking care of them beecause they’ve long taken care of us. That’s why we’re proud to support Wounded Warrior Project this month. Hope you will be, too.

January is Blood Donor Month

December 27, 2014 By Jamie Stephenson

American Red Cross

With the calendar getting ready to flip to a new year, the American Red Cross is asking eligible blood donors to make a resolution to give blood regularly in 2015, beginning with National Blood Donor Month in January. Did you know that January is National Blood Donation Month!? Now that you do, we want all of you awesome bees who are thinking about donating to your nearest blood blank to have the cleanest blood possible…and we have a few tricks to remove all of those nasty bad toxins that may be building upon your blood.

It starts with beets, Burdock root, Himalayan salt, oregano, pineapple and tomato. These six little awesome ingredients are big supporters of your liver and bloodstream, and they give your blood a solid, oxygenized cleaning. So before you go off being a hero and saving lives, grab a Bee Energized…loaded with enough beets to make your blood sparkle.

Why we should give blood:  Blood contains many life-saving components that can help to treat different illnesses and injuries. For many people, blood donors are their lifeline. Blood donation gives a proud feeling of touching someone’s life in such a beautiful way. It’s an experience that no words can define. You have to donate blood yourself to find out. You also benefit in other ways by donating blood as it reduces the chances of ischemic heart diseases (beginning of heart problems) as frequent donations reduce the accumulated and unwanted iron load from the body. Your blood donation will also get you your blood insurance from us. By keeping the blood line flowing, you will greatly contribute towards a healthier, happier society. Do remember, any one may require blood any time including ourselves and our dear ones.

National Blood Donor Month recognizes the importance of giving blood and platelets while honoring those who roll up a sleeve to help patients in need. It has been observed during January since 1970, and that’s no coincidence. Winter is an especially difficult time to collect enough blood to meet patient needs. Unpredictable winter weather can result in blood drive cancelations, and seasonal illnesses, like the flu, may cause some donors to be unable to make or keep blood donation appointments.

Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with O negative, A negative and B negative.
