Every woman needs a Vera Bradley purse. That’s why Annette Riley features the line in her Occoquan store, Ka Lei Pua.
“It’s a very good product. Most of the purses are 100 percent cotton and machine washable,” said Annette who carries the Classic Collection. “Women love Vera Bradley.”
One of the most popular items she features is the fabulous “On the Go” purse which has pockets on either end and on the inside as well as an adjustable strap that can be worn across the body.
Another favorite item is a leather ID case that carries keys and zips on one side to hold your cards. This item is very popular with students and teachers.

Jerry’s Occoquan Jewelers
Brilliant Relationships
Superior service and quality are the two things that the owners of Jerry’s Occoquan Jewelers stress the most.
“Our customers tend to be our family and friends,” said co-owner Patty Lyons. “We hand inspect any lines that come in. It’s our name that’s on it.”
Patty’s business partner Brenda Monn battled breast cancer five years ago and Patty’s mother was diagnosed six months later. The support and encouragement they received inspired an atmosphere of family, friends and faith in the store.
“We’ve had the most wonderful support group,” said Patty.
“That’s part of our personal relationship with our customers.”
The store is also a Laser Star Certified Center and does everything onsite. The owners also have their own copyrighted piece, “Drop of Face.” Visitors can bring in older pieces to be redesigned or browse the collection of Alwand Vahan and a variety of pearl pieces.
Stop by the jewelry boutique to enjoy the fine jewelry and conversation.
It’s been a long day at the office and at home. The boss wants everything done yesterday and the kids have been bickering all week. If now is not the time, when is? Yes, you need a visit to this cozy spa tucked away in Historic Occoquan on the river.
My Body Yoga has an inviting, relaxing atmosphere that encourages exploration of different paths to health, healing and personal growth. Whether it’s yoga, massage therapy or perhaps a facial, just to name a few, the spa’s staff professionals will help you find your inner peace.
Healing body treatments and spa parties are also available. Rejuvenate with a Mango Mud Wrap or bring in a group of friends for a spiritual visit or just to get the girls together.
“Well-being is the door to a new you. Unlock the doors of old habits that may have left you stressed with anxiety, tired, suffering from aches and pains. Begin with a breath of fresh air and fresh thoughts.”
Peace.
