Hi there!,

I am officially a Blogger! Not sure what that really means at this moment other than it might be more work...! Actually, I do like a chat as some of you are aware, and if I can pass on some good info while doing it then.... that will be a bonus!

I will be learning how this all works meantime, which means how to make this interesting and worth your valuable time.

Dec 3rd

Here we are in December already....and after a very busy month, the shop is  stocked and ready for a very busy season!

The energy on the street seems to have picked up considerably and whether it's the weather and people feel like coming out of hibernation or it's the relief that the year is coming to an end...we made it...phew, it's time to celebrate!! Whatever it is....I'm loving it!

Lately, I have had a lot of comments such as being told I have a "glow" about me. This could be because of the work I have been doing with Avatar... (definitely enlightening work :)) or it could be the new Eco Tan I have been using. This is shameless advertising...but I highly recommend both!

Eco Tan is quite amazing...no nasties, totally organic and unlike anything I have ever tried....(wow, still describing both at the moment..) In the Eco Tan, there are two types...Winter Skin which is a great moisturizer that ends up in a gorgeous golden tan after 2 days.... and after having lived in Bali for so long,I haven't been enjoying being so pale! Then there's the Invisible Tan that you use at night and then go to bed (no it doesn't rub off on the sheets..or smell) and wake up with a beautiful deep tan in the morning. It's quite remarkable! Great loofah too. It's the first totally certified organic tanning solution...I just found this on You Tube. Check it out

When it comes to Avatar, to get a feel if there's something in it for you....whether you have been looking at ways to help others or the planet, or if it's just that there is something in your life you'd would like to change, not to experience or like to experience, then check out the website www.theavatarcourse.com or give me a call for a free info hour. Amazing stuff and I can't tell you how grateful I am to have found it!

I'd like to mention some of the new products I have gotten in in the last week....I do get a little excited when I find some good stuff! Apart from the Eco Tan......
For the kids, pure fruit Juicies for the freezer, (currently in my freezer!) Dairy Free Advent Calenders, a huge Gluten free range including a very tasty new GF Muesli and Muesli bars from Hummercrunch. Beautiful Vanilla powder from Loving Earth along with Caramlised Pecans (OMG... a taste sensation!) Scent-sational Soaps made in the Yarra Valley and sample packs from the beautiful Andalou skin care range. These are a great price at $24.95 and a perfect gift idea.

For all of you that are a little pushed for time and ideas....I have made up some specialty Hampers i.e; The Gluten Free Hamper, The Pamper Hamper and The Gourmet Hamper. The prices range from $45. upwards. You can pop in or call and we will make them up for you to suit.

That reminds me....Coyo is here! The unbelievably yummy  vegan yoghurt made from pure coconut milk. It is heaven on earth!! It will be back in stock this Tuesday after selling out very quickly last week.

 I have also started stocking some fine foods  such as award winning Berry's Creek cheeses and some exotic spices such as Chermoula and Harissa (after many asks) to name a few. More great local products i.e.local jam from Waterwheel Orchards and a natural coconut deodorant from Coco Deo.I am amazed at how much great local product I am coming across....and always open for suggestions if any of you know something I don't!

That's it for now...look forward to hearing from you. x

Welcome to my Blog!  Something I have spoken about for awhile now...and hopefully something that is easier for me than FaceBook! The posting of pics and info I found to be quite tricky...well, to make it look good anyway. This is proving to be simpler... and isn't that the direction we all want to move towards?! I know I do. 

There's a lot of great info I receive daily and I would like to pass some of it on. I will endeavour not to bore you stupid but learn how to link the whole story so that you will only get the captions and then click if you are interested to read more. Love that tool!

On my recent trip to the States with my son, I realized how far technology had moved ahead....and how old I started feeling!  It did  feel like I was living an episode of the Jetsons. Now, if you know what I'm talking about.... thank you,  come in and say Hi sometime and we can swap stories of the good old days! No, I actually really appreciate technology and feel it opens a lot of opportunities for us. I will endeavor to take advantage of those in a positive way.

So that's a start...stay posted, I will be back with something more interesting soon :)
