Pure Fiji Australia 25% off Store-wide Code

Guys, I organised 25% off for after-Christmas / Boxing Day sales! Go to Pure Fiji's Australian site and enter the code PURESOCIAL at the check out.

 

For those who have yet to reach nirvana, here's a bit about Pure Fiji: 

For centuries South Pacific and Fiji islanders have used pure coconut oil and flower extracts to nourish, moisturize and beautify both skin and hair. Pure Fiji brings you the best of these traditional blends for today's natural bath and body care. Discover intensive hydrating body oils, creamy coconut lotions, nourishing hand made soaps and fresh sugar scrubs that will get your skin glowing

They have a whole page talking about their awesome fragrances like frangipani, mango, pineapple, coconut, dilo, and passionflower. But head back to the Australian site from there for the code to work.

By now - if I did well (BIG fan that I am) you can almost taste these scents. Go use the 25% off coupon now!

The start of the week saw risk assets outperform as US data continues to top estimates with stocks and higher yielding assets advancing across the board. The situation in Europe has continued to deteriorate however with remarks made by senior officials suggesting that the Germans remain steadfast in their opposition to expanding the European bail-out fund. While the euro trade remains increasingly crowded, we will attempt to focus on the highest yielding currency among the majors as gauge of broader markets sentiment. Although there are numerous scalps we are currently watching, the Australian dollar remains our setup of choice as we look for the aussie to pare the 1.75% advance seen in the first three trading sessions of 2012.

Little Kickers - Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast

I've been thinking of ways to get kids active and away from the playstation, xbox, wii, foxtel, computer, and all the million things turning them into potatoes in front of my eyes.

I've been looking at Little Kickers lately and it sounds fantastic: "Approved football training for children from 18 months to 7th birthday" - boys and girls. Highly recommend watching the very cute video as well. Pretty cool, huh?

If you're a parent or grandparent reading this (and you probably are), think about getting them signed up. Kids need to move, so get them active asap.

All sessions are indoors and safe.

Little Kickers. Give it a go - I think I remember seeing there's a free trial option.

 

 

I liked Motto.com.au

SO,

  Fashionistas - found you a good one: 

Motto is an excellent online store with Australian made designs and with one of the best ways to guide your experience that I've ever seen. To give you an example of how easy it is to find what's right for your body, they have a:

• Booty Lift Collection
• For Your Home
• Dresses and Tunics
• Pants
• Vests
• Skirts
• Jackets and Cardis - loved these

And most importantly - check out the Inspire Me tab: Apple shape, Essentials, Pear shape, Professional Woman, Saturday night, Size 8s and 20s. THAT was the most helpful fashion section I think I've ever found.

 

 

The designs are beautiful and sexy (Lauren Browne clearly knows what she's doing), and the images they use show you front and back so you can see how the garment looks and sits either from front and back or close-up and at a further distance.

 

They also have a newsletter, and if you sign up for that you get $20 voucher instantly which is just terrific.

Perfect for Christmas if you're shopping for gifts, or looking at post-Christmas sales, they are decent prices for the quality of design and fabric.

OH. Completely forgot to mention - free shipping on orders over $150 Australia wide AND (and this is rare still, unfortunately) Free returns and exchanges. 

 

So zip up and check out Motto. Totally recommended by yours truly!

 

Tell students at your high school that they’re not alone

Inspire’s Back to [High] School appeal lets young people know it’s OK to ask for help when they’re going through a tough time. A donation of just $44 will send a ReachOut.com pack to an Australian high school of your choice.

High school can be one of the most exciting and stressful times in a young person’s life. Along with the physical and emotional changes of adolescence, many young people are trying to cope with body image issues, bullying, anxiety, exam stress, relationships, drugs and alcohol.

Research tells us that only 30% of the young people who need help getting through a tough time get any help at all. Sadly, this means that 70% of young people in need of support and information are left to try and figure things out alone.

Inspire’s ReachOut.com service exists so young people can know they are never alone. We collaborate with young people and mental health experts to create an online mental health service that delivers personalised, actionable help wherever, whenever and however young people choose.

ReachOut.com is anonymous and available 24/7. It doesn’t judge, it doesn’t mock, or laugh, and it doesn’t give bad advice. It just makes it easier to find out what other young people have been through, how they dealt with their problems, and what experts recommend.

“When times got tough when I was at school … I had a long period of feeling alone. Having different interests to your peers while young, can be difficult and the feeling of isolation comes quite easily. I came across ReachOut.com towards the end of high school. From there I used the online forums to connect, explore coping strategies and eventually point me in the right direction to seek face to face help. ReachOut.com became a friend when I was in the library at lunchtime…
I don’t see any of my past and regret, but one thing I wish was that I came across ReachOut sooner – then that scary feeling of being alone wouldn’t have been around for as long.” Hayley, 23

The Back to [High] School appeal is an opportunity for you to get involved in letting Australian high school students know that they can find help and support atReachOut.com. We want to send ReachOut.com promotion packs containing posters, flyers and stickers to every high school across Australia!

In order to make sure the packs reach school students, we’ll be sending the packs to school captains. They know all the private places in public spaces where young people go when they’re feeling down. So we’ll be giving them stickers to put on the back of toilet doors, posters for the main corridors and flyers for study hall.

“Last year when the campaign was running, all the year 12s wore the ReachOut badges, and put the posters up in our common room. I got a feeling of acceptance from the idea that other people were okay with things not being okay.” Sarah, 17

“My school didn’t get a pack last time, but I know about ReachOut and am so surprised how many people I had to tell what ReachOut actually was, a lot of people at school have no idea this online help and info is available for them!” Gabi, 17

Last year, ReachOut.com helped over 500,000 young people. This year we aim to reach every high school student across the country. You can help us achieve this goal by making a $44 donation to the Back to [High] School appeal now.
