Modest outfits that are cute too? Is it even possible? Of course it is.

Deborah and Co. is an online shop that is always on the look-out for women’s clothing that is practical, trendy, and modest too. (If you have a young girl in your household, you’ll want to check out their Little Deborah line as well.)

Through the years, I’ve been blessed to review several Deborah and Co. clothing items. I have loved them all! Their clothing is all super quality, comfortable, and fit like they are supposed to fit. Here’s the outfit I was recently sent to try out:

I grabbed the picture off their website as it is now toooooo cold for me to wear such cute apparel such as this. :)  At least I got to try them on before the snow started to fall. The skirt and top fit great, and will be so much fun to wear come spring! Cute, comfy, practical – gotta love it. :)

Check out the Perfect Pockets Skirt, Grey Striped Knit Top and everything Deborah and Co. have to offer – even maternity. They are a fantastic company to work with!

The very exciting news is that one of you here can win a $50 gift certificate to spend however you like at Deborah and Co! Leave a comment here for a chance to win.  I’ll draw one random winner on Tuesday, November 25. Be sure to watch for a post stating the winner as you will be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen. :)

We learned several years ago with our youngest son Malachi’s chronic skin condition that what we put on our skin goes directly into our body, which means we need to be very careful about what we put on our skin. I’m not much into pampering products. After all, usually they are full of chemicals I’d rather avoid putting on my skin. But what about a fun product that can brag this:

Well, now maybe I’ll listen.

Laura A., an independent consultant with Perfectly Posh sent me two of their most popular products to try out. Taking time to relax and pamper myself? Yes, that is a good thing. My family appreciates it when I take care of myself. ;)

Here’s what I got to try:

Best Face Forever (BFF) – Millions of microbeads scrub and gently exfoliate with a naturally cleansing blend of grapefruit and peppermint. Essential oils soothe and freshen. Gently enough for everyday use. BFF makes me feel like I am having a mini spa experience every day.

Night and Day – Moisturize with lavender and glycerin plus natural olive oils. It’s nourishment you need to have your skin be your best. Smooth over your clean face morning and night.

I’ve heard from several that you were surprised that I would promote a weight loss product here at Heavenly Homemakers. Fair enough! It does seem out of the norm for me.

I have to say that I really appreciate those of you who are questioning, “Wait! Is this really a safe product?” I much prefer this over people just taking my word for it and not looking into it for themselves. Please never read what I write and jump right in without doing your research.  (Also, while I’ve got you – never listen to a sermon and jump in with what the preacher is saying without checking what the Bible says first.)

To those who are questioning if my promoting Plexus goes against what Heavenly Homemakers is all about:

I always encourage you to eat well, drink water, exercise – all the wonderful things we need to do to be healthy. That’s why I put those at the top of the review post. Those are FIRST. Always. If you aren’t doing those things, don’t ever think you can just take a supplement or product and you’ll suddenly start feeling better or achieve a healthy weight. There is no fast and easy ticket to good health. You have to be intentional about taking care of yourself, period.

I don’t talk about it much here on the blog, but my family and I take quite a few nutritional supplements to help each of us with specific weaknesses and ailments. We have all benefited greatly from eating whole foods the majority of the time, and I believe that is key to helping our bodies respond to healing and finding overall good health. But Malachi’s eczema did not fully go away until we had help from holistic doctors who gave him supplements to assist his body in healing. My asthma and migraines need more than just whole foods. I am taking supplements for overall body healing, to detox my system from heavy metals, and to help my body learn to digest properly. Asa’s allergies are finally more manageable, thanks in part to supplements. Each member of our family is taking vitamins and being boosted by specific remedies to aid our overall health.

So about Plexus:

I researched it as a supplement. I’m trying it out as a supplement. I’ve noticed a difference in my emotional stability and energy after taking it for one full week. A good friend of mine has experienced similar results, and since she has some pounds to lose, she has also experienced weight loss. She’s also watching what she eats, exercising, drinking water – well, she’s working at overall good health. I’m proud of her.

I promoted Plexus to you because I’m working with an advertiser here on my blog who asked me to give it a try. I’m not a sales rep. I don’t get a kick-back if you purchase. I simply wrote a review on my experience with this product, just like I do many other products that are sent to me for this purpose. Do the research and find what is right for you, just like you do about anything you come across.

I’m thankful I’ve had the chance to try Plexus, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with Stefanie to inform you about it. She has been fabulous to answer all my questions, so do feel free to share any you might have with her as well! (sbosket5 at yahoo.com)
