Claire & Mandy have been friends for decades. As friends do, they spoke of not only the day to day trials but they also shared their dreams with each other. They were surprised to learn that they shared a dream - to own a boutique one day.

After a few curveballs that life threw their direction, they took a leap of faith to turn that dream into a reality.

As Christian women, they decided to name their dream the Chosen and Cherished Boutique. As God’s children, their main priority is to put Christ first in their lives AND the boutique.

Their intent is to offer more modest clothing options in a society that has turned its back on that idea.

In addition to clothing, the boutique will be offering products from the Chosen and Cherished Body Co. which consists of 100% soy candles, hand poured soaps along with lotions and body butter that are safe for you and your family.

When asked what they would say to someone struggling with life’s ups and downs, what they offered was this:

"Life’s hard. It’s even harder without a relationship with God. Choose Him every day. Put Him first. He gave you your dreams for a reason - follow that calling. That’s your purpose. It’s terrifying but just know, 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' - Philippians 4:13"
