The quality is the best in the industry & the prices are unbelievable...Check them out at www.sposaseating.com. I used them for my engagement party, shower, & wedding...and we were published in HOUR's Metro Detroit Bride & Ambassador & we chosen to be featured on WE's Platinum Weddings! The latter of the magazines published two photos of just the table settings b/c they were "wow'ed". Oh and their customer service is by far A+. They were the easiest vendor that I used for the events & delivered more than what I paid for!

My all time favorite botanical skin care line is a local company "Be Natural Organics". They use active botanical enzymes without the use of synthetic chemicals and their products are superior.

I buy mine at: Bloomfield Esthetics in West Bloomfield. However, I just found out that their online store www.benaturalorganics offers a 25% off discount + free shipping (for 1st time orders! How great it that?
