I find it shocking that a news station doesn’t fact check before airing a story to the public… So here a few corrections they got wrong in the segment above…

• The Family I work for lives in Hancock Park NOT Encino
• I did not say “Freshen up your make and take off your husbands shoes when he comes home.” That is a quote from an article I posted from a 1954 Home Economics text book I found comical.
• I do not cook or do laundry in vintage dresses.. Unless I just happen to be wearing a vintage dress.

Monday Sophie and I took Lily and 3 of her friends on a Disneyland Adventure. Sophie was unofficially named best dressed women at the theme park, Lily and Erin rode Space Mountain their very first roller coaster (So Proud!) and with no melt downs or tantrums is was a wonderful day at the happiest place on earth!  – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

I recently Discovered Beverly Hills Juice Company through a friend and have been going daily for the most delicious fresh pressed juice. I’m addicted to “The Big Ten” (Carrot, Beet, Celery, Kale, Spinach and Parsley) but since recently getting sick have been getting Apple Lemon Double Ginger, which was a terrific remedy. A bottle of juice will run you around 5.00 and is worth every penny.

In his quest to make the most nutritionally beneficial juice, David Otto became versed in the advantages of juicing with a hydraulic press. To press juice, fruits or vegetables are first ground into a fine pulp, wrapped in cloth bags, and then squeezed at a very high pressure by the hydraulic press. Compared to other methods of juice extraction, pressed juice has a higher nutritional content: more vitamins, more minerals, and more amino acids. Additionally, pressed juice is exposed to a minimal amount of oxidation, and therefore maintains a shelf life of a few days instead of minutes. Beverly Hills Juice presses and bottles batches of juice every morning, making pressed juice available for customers to pickup each day.

Beverly Hills Juice supports local, organic agriculture. They adapt their menu to the seasons and source most of their ingredients from local farms. They purchase the majority of our produce at farmer’s markets, where the average farmer travels 150 miles to bring her crop to market. Coconuts, bananas, ginger and cinnamon are not typically grown in California, and are sourced from organic suppliers.

Since 1975, Beverly Hills Juice has operated under a strong ethical code that promotes a healthy and balanced way of life. Their appreciation and gratitude for the earth is reflected in everything that they do. Beverly Hills Juice continually searches for the best practices that will limit their environmental impact, decrease their use of petroleum-based products, and contribute to the regeneration of the earth’s polluted resources. Some of their sustainable business practices include: Cups and Straws made from Sugar Cane Fiber, They do use bags to encourage customers to bring their own, all deliveries are made with a volkswagen TDI clean diesel car, all paper used is 100 recycled processed chlorine free and all waste generated is commercially composted.
