Seated (L) Cheryll Elaine Rincon and Michelle Tingson-Pregno, at the opening of Verlise Boutique. By MARK REYNOLDS [email protected] In the past year a number of new businesses have been revitalizing the hamlet of Highland, creating a buzz that this is the place to be. Just this summer three new ventures have opened or expanded their operations. Verlise Boutique Michelle Tingson-Pregno and Cheryll Elaine Rincon have joined forces as Verlise Boutique to offer Doterra Essential Oils, ‘Me To You’ products such as scrubs, soaps and sprays and a line of women’s latest fashions, unique handbags and jewelry. Tingson-Pregno said “This all-in- one boutique has everything, so if you want anything from jewelry and all the fashion trends of makeup, clothing, and handbags, we have that. We also carry home products and handmade products as well.” Rincon said, “most of the items here are personally hand-picked by me and they are on the fashion trends in affordable prices.” The new location also has a photography studio. Last month Rincon moved from a smaller store across the street into a much larger place at 8 Main Street in Highland. They are a member of the Highland Business Association and are open from Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. They can be reached at 845-834- 3600 and have a website www.verlise.com and can be found on Facebook at Verlise Boutique. Rincon and Tingson-Pregno established Helping Hands, a non-profit charity. This year they raised money for a church in the Philippines that was affected by an earthquake.
