Baby It's Cold Outside
If you have not already done so, it is definitely time to put in order the "frost protection plan" for your plants. We have already experienced sub-freezing temperatures at night and some of your plants may have already suffered the consequence. Bougainvilleas and lantanas are two such examples that tend to be adversely affected by the cool nights.

We can expect more chilly weather as we come into January and just a few simple steps could prevent you from having to replant in the spring. Spare towels or sheets are a great and affordable way to protect your plants during these winter nights.

Or another fresh and seasonal idea is to put those Christmas lights to a new use. Instead of taking them down and putting them away, keep them on your most tender plants. When the nights get cold, bring back the holiday spirit by plugging in the festive Christmas light "blanket."

At Aji we are a family and we have much to celebrate this special season.
We have enjoyed a wave of recent graduations and we are so proud of our colleagues. Joy is best when shared, so indulge us if you will, and learn a bit more about your friends at Aji.

Allow us to introduce you to Jose Pastrana. An essential team-member, Jose joined Aji 3 years ago. He is thriving in his current role as a front desk agent where he helps usher guests through the culture and entire Aji journey.

Jose just graduated from ASU with his degree in Business Administration with a certificate in International Business. He aspires to move into a supervisor role and eventually own his own Customs House (import/export company).

Join us in congratulating Jose, the next time you are in to enjoy a day with us at Aji!

Aji Café is excited to announce an entirely new specialty drink menu, beginning on Sunday, January 15, 2012. After much collaboration and a desire to provide care-crafted, innovative adult beverages to complement our guest's spa day, Aji, in partnership with Southern Wine & Spirits of Arizona will now boast an all new collection of wines and specialty drinks, many of which highlight native and local ingredients. A few menu highlights include: The Renewal, comprised of Veev Acai liqueur, fresh lemon, lime, oranges and tonic water, or The Elements: comprised of Gosling's stormy ginger beer, fresh lime juice, a dash of Angostura bitters and garnished with blueberries and a lime twist. With names like Well Being, Harmonie and Antioxidant these cocktails grant a subconscious permission to order a second. Cheers to the New Year!
