As we observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it fills me with profound sadness to reflect on the recent loss of Suzanne Somers, who bravely battled this disease. Suzanne was not only a cherished friend of Juice Beauty, but we shared deep connections through our Bay Area roots, a shared passion for entrepreneurial initiatives, advocacy for equal pay, and our mutual appreciation for Organic Beauty. Her spirit and dedication to these causes were truly inspiring.

Suzanne’s journey with this illness spanned several years, highlighting the resilience that so many individuals exhibit. In memory of those we’ve lost, we passionately encourage everyone to make informed choices about the products they use. Support remarkable organizations like Breast Cancer Prevention Partners with whatever you can offer, and embrace life to its fullest potential! Suzanne exemplified this enthusiasm for life, and I will forever cherish her incredible storytelling and culinary skills—she even cooked for my family on several occasions. We created lasting memories on her deck with her husband, Alan, where she entertained us with captivating tales about the Rat Pack, Johnny Carson shows, and her experience with George Lucas in the classic film American Graffiti. Suzanne’s vibrant love for life, infectious positive energy, radiant smile, and her keen ability to listen made her a true pioneer in countless ways.

Dear Suzanne—I will deeply miss you!
