Australian Made Modern Cloth Nappies

February 9th, 2010

In my travels researching products for the shop, I came across a great site that sells Australian Made Modern Cloth Nappies called Green Kids. Now since I have no desire to ever sell nappies (after all, I do think that if you haven’t changed hundreds of them and gagged at the smell, then you don’t know enough about them to sell them), I feel liek giving them a free plug!

Who ever knew that you could by fashionable nappies in so many bright and funky colours and patterns. Check out the funtime nappies section and be the envy of everyone at play group ;)

Up Yours Kevin Rudd

February 7th, 2010

I just love the sensationalist headlines on news.com.au. This morning, on the front page, the headline says “Up yours Kevin Rudd” in relation to this story….

Belinda Neal defies PM’s anger course order

As you read the story, she was never forced to do anything.  I think some of the staff from news.com.au used to work for New Idea ……

How gorgeous is this little 6 year old girl. I wonder what happened to her. See, Simon Cowell can be nice when it’s warranted!

Poking Bears

People, don’t poke bears. They get angry, turn around and scratch your eyes out and try to eat you. Just play nice and no-one gets hurt. Try to take on a bear, and the bear usually wins.

Calling All Homewares Junkies

February 6th, 2010
Comments Off

Yes, I’m an online shopping junkie. It’s so much easier to let your fingers do the walking and compare products online from the comfort of your own home. There’s so many great online shops around now, even if I didn’t make them all!

One of my favourite haunts is Home Couture. They have every possible cute little knick knack you could ever want for your kitchen and so much great stuff you’ll never come across in shops. Visit this site at your own risk, you’ll get addicted to it, trust me!

Men At Work sued by kookaburra

February 4th, 2010
Comments Off

It’s a sad and disgusting day today when the little flute interlude from Men At Work’s ‘Down Under’ loses a court case against the new owners of the song “Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree”. It’s not the melody, it’s a little filler, and it’s really just a small snippet of notes in a sequence, and it’s the 3rd, 5th & 6th notes of the scale, and there’s other stuff in the middle.

As a musician and an Australian, I’m bloody disgusted.

Mmmmm…… remedial massage

I’m turning 40 soon and I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to do for my birthday. Let’s see, lunch, shopping, a movie …….. It’s been a while since I had a massage. I might take the day off work and slink about and shop and spoil myself. My massage therapist is just the best massage therapist on the Central Coast. She knows just where all those nasty spots are and afterwards, I always feel like I could curl up in a ball and go to sleep!

If you’re a lazy bugger, she has a mobile massage service and she can come to you!

Ladakh Clothing

Comments Off

The Ladakh label is so hard to find in shops, and if you’re ever lucky enough to find someone who stocks it, they never end up having what you want, or if they do, it’s not available in your size.

Freez Clothing in Sydney are one of the biggest Ladakh stockists around, and have two shops, but alas, I don’t live in Sydney. Luckily, they have an online shop and they have pretty much the entire range of Ladakh online.

If the thought of buying clothes online freaks you out, don’t worry, Freez will let you return products and swap the sizes or even just get a credit and pick something else.

ECO Stainless Steel Lunch Box Set

December 12th, 2009
Comments Off

What does every stainless steel water bottle need to share it’s life with? Yes, you guessed it, a Stainless Steel Lunch Box!! From January 2010, Shop Naturally will be selling Stainless Steel Lunch Boxes. We’ve tested out quite a few, and we’ve picked what we believe is the best one on the market in it’s price bracket.

We saw so many inferior lunch boxes that just had slip on lids like those dodgy looking biscuit tins you get from the supermarket at Christmas time, we passed on all of them. The ECO Lunch Box has two clips to keep the lid firmly in place + a bonus round tub with a bpa free plastic leak-proof lid for salad, yoghurt, dessert, whatever you like. None of the others have the bonus round tub.

RRP on the ECO Lunch Box is $26,95. When we compared it with the Lunch Bots that are at least 3 dollars dearer with no sturdy clips to keep the lid on and no bonus round tub, it wasn’t a hard decision to make to choose the ECO Lunch Box as our Stainless Steel Lunch Box choice.

Great value, great quality & in January, in conjunction with KidSpot, we’re giving away almost $500 worth of Back To School products, and the ECO Lunch Box is in the prize. Make sure you visit www.shopnaturally.com.au to enter.

We just got a whole new range of Camelbak Bottles in stock – including the ultimate Camelbak Bottle – the Camelbak Stainless Steel Better Bottle. Spill-proof and leak-proof, it’s the most expensive bottle in the store, but boy is it worth every penny!
