25.01.2022 Just landed: Christmas earrings! $14.95 each, get in quick before they sell out!

24.01.2022 A few things to note as this crazy, hectic week draws to a close: 1. As we provide an essential service to the community, we will be OPEN for the foreseeable future. There may come a time where we close our front doors, however we will still be able to take phone calls and serve you from the footpath if need be. 2. We have initiated SOCIAL DISTANCING measures in store to ensure our customers health and safety and we thank you for respecting this decision. ... 3. We are encouraging everyone to leave their PRESCRIPTIONS ON FILE with us and phone in orders as needed, and we are offering FREE DELIVERY to the lower Herbert area to assist with self-isolation. 4. Government officials are urging all Australians to STAY HOME where possible. If you do not need to go out for any reason other than work, school, groceries, medications etc., please stay home and finish all those jobs you have wanted to finish but never had the time for. By the end of this crisis, we should all have spotless houses and weed-free gardens! 5. Take care of your MENTAL HEALTH, as well as your physical health. Call that friend you haven't heard from in ages, let a YouTube video teach you yoga, attempt a puzzle with your kids or build a veggie garden; the possibilities are endless! We thank you for you support and understanding during this time, Andrew and Amy.

03.01.2022 With so much hype in the media about COVID-19, we thought it may be helpful to post a few links to current and correct information. As the COVID-19 outbreak has now been declared a pandemic, it is important that everyone is aware of how to protect themselves against the virus. The Australian Government Department of Health is continually updating their website as new information about the virus comes to light, and the World Health Organization (WHO) provides a wealth of info...rmation as well. For anyone with current or future travel plans, check out smartraveller.gov.au for advice. And locally, your GP surgeries and pharmacies are only a phone call away if needed. Most importantly, do not panic! Currently in store, we have plenty of tissues and soap, limited supplies of toilet paper, but no hand sanitiser. However, we do have plenty of prescription medications, and back-orders of masks and other supplies are slowly trickling through. We urge you to think before panic-buying, and consider the source of information before you take it as fact. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions!

02.01.2022 Introducing..... Earrings! We now have a range of Studex earrings for sensitive ears, including birth stone studs, sleepers, hoops and fashion earrings. With prices from $10.95, they are perfect as gifts or as a self-indulgent treat!

02.01.2022 We can all be F.A.S.T. Heroes! This National Stroke Week (Aug 31-Sept 6) Stroke Foundation is urging Australians from all walks of life to become the next gener...ation of F.A.S.T. Heroes. A F.A.S.T. hero is anyone who can help save a life simply by knowing how to recognise the F.A.S.T. (Face. Arms. Speech and Time) signs of stroke. When a stroke happens, brain cells start dying at a frightening rate of up to 1.9 million per minute, but medical treatments can stop this damage. The message is simple Time is brain. The faster you can be treated after stroke, the more chance you have of making a full recovery. https://bit.ly/3fc8dMb #strokeweek2020
