The Juice Barista

The Juice Barista is home-based business which is co-owned by a good friend Maika Perez who I met through a yoga retreat 2 years ago and eventually became my student in Barre3. She was kind and gracious enough to send me samples and deliver them to me personally! Such a sweet sweet girl! I've been following them in IG and am so proud of how the business has grown over the past year. Now you can get the juices in SLICE (BCG Branch), order online via their website http://www.thejuicebarista.com/ or directly through Maika (0917-7958995) or Jarah (0915-5639785).
