Drink Up

You don’t need an exotic getaway to look the part! Just mix up this easy tropical drink, deck yourself out in Dogeared jewels and turn your backyard into your own personal paradise!

3 ounces pineapple juice (we used pineapple soda—yum!)
2 ounces orange juice
1 ounce cranberry juice
1/2 ounce grenadine syrup
Citrus twists
Maraschino cherries
Ice

In a chilled glass, add ice and stir in juices. Add the grenadine syrup and garnish with citrus fruit and maraschino cherries. Mix in an “adult beverage” and it’ll really feel like a vacation. 😉

One Voice

Dogeared is constantly learning about the flow of karma in our lives. Case in point: we have worked closely with One Voice, an L.A. based nonprofit, since 1991. One Voice provides assistance to low-income families, including scholarship assistance to young adults in need. In 1992, Leticia, who came from a family of 11, was one of the first recipients of a One Voice scholarship. No one in Leticia’s family had been to college before – yet this bright and determined young woman attended Wellesley College thanks to this remarkable program. One Voice contacted Leticia, and recently, Dogeared received a surprise visit from her. It was a delight to learn that she is the mother to two children and works as a guidance counselor in Torrance – now helping other young adults prepare for their futures. Leticia has come full circle…and we’re privileged and proud to be part of such an outstanding human being’s journey.
