Summer June fun with JUARA Events- Metta Murdaya

Ardistia & JUARA Private Sale Event

Fun summer events: Special discounts and exclusive gifts with purchase!

When the sun is up, and everyone’s heading to the beach, we like to cater to those who are still in the city for fun, JUARA events. We like partnering with our other business owner friends, as well as our retailers whom we know also really appreciate their customers, so what better way to say “thanks!” than to make shopping even more fun with our free hand treatments and extra samples – just for showing up? This June, we have had several fun events – ranging from a store launch party (Pachute) at a delightful little boutique in the Upper East Side, to big shopping bashes with up to 350 guests at the Green & Gorgeous event by Pretty in the City.  We have the following events this month, so stop by and say hi if you can, Yoshiko, Jill or I will be there – so come get your free hand massage!

To see what events we have this month in NYC, check here.

Mother’s Day Contest Winner!

We at JUARA would like to offer a big congratulations to Donna Kraft and her mother Jewell Blanken for winning the JUARA Mother’s Day contest! We had customers fill out a survey to tell why their mothers are the best. We got a ton of beautiful stories–there are some incredible mothers out there! Donna’s mom was one of our very favorite entries to the contest, and we wanted to share it with you today. Check out what she has to say about her mother!

I have the greatest MOM in the world. I am the youngest of 4 daughters. So needless to say we have definitely kept her busy over the years. She just turned 72 in March, and doesnt let anything get in her way. My father just passed away in November 2009 and my oldest sister 1 year prior, in October 2008. Winning this would be a nice little pick me up for her.

My mom is always taking care of other people. She very rarely treats herself. She was the sole caregiver for my dad for many years while he was sick. This allowed him to stay at home and be with his family until the very end. She was always thinking about what would be best for him.

About 4 years ago she went through a surgery for a double knee replacement. Even this couldnt keep her down. She was up and going as soon as possible.

She still mows her own 1 acre yard, keeps a large garden and takes care of ALL of us. She still has me and my two older sisters, 6 grand children, and 3 great-grand children.

She is a wonderful woman and deserves the best!

Donna and her mother have each received a $50 gift certificate redeemable at the JUARA Online Boutique. Thanks to everybody for participating, and we hope you all had a fantastic Mother’s Day!

How did you celebrate this year?
