“I have tried to look at the positive during this time,” Smitson-Gonzalez said. “I've been working from home since March 2020 alongside my 11 year old son Jake, who has also been home. It has been a great bonding time for us, but I think we are both about ready to get back to work and school very soon.”
Just like Smitson-Gonzalez, our community is ready to visit their favorite local businesses once again! As more and more businesses are now able to open their doors and allow their customers inside, our local businesses now able to once again thrive within their community.

Feeling under the weather? Or want to boost your immune system? Tooty Frooty specializes in drinks and certain vitamin health juice “shots.”
The owner of Tooty Frooty, Leticia Sotelo, remembers before the COVID-19 pandemic began, buying ginger for her ginger and turmeric juice shot was relatively cheap, but ever since the pandemic began, the cost of ginger significantly increased.
Sotelo also noticed that the popularity of that particular juice shot went up after the pandemic, due to this juice shot being widely known to help boost your immune system. Sotelo, despite the increase in her costs, did not raise the price of her ginger and turmeric juice shots.
Sotelo says one thing she does pride herself in is that for all of the 15 years that she has been in business, she has not raised any of her prices.
Other nutritional items on Tooty Frooty’s menu are Detox Water, carrot juice and a variety of fresh fruit shots.
Tooty Frooty is the perfect fresh and healthy stop for any time of the day when you feel like treating yourself to something sweet but without the guilt. Stop by Tooty Frooty today for the BEST juices in Moreno Valley!
City News Group started this Click and Win Sweepstakes in March of 2020 when COVID first hit our community. We wanted to help the local businesses stay in business and in December for our $1,000 grand prize giveaway, we wanted to help a family have a nice Christmas!
