5 easy shopping hacks to follow for Black Friday 2021

Dr Martens shop Westfield Sydney shopping

Black Friday is on 26 November 2021 and is a great time to get a deal on some of your favourite items, but it can be tricky navigating the stores and finding the best deals. To make things easier for you, we’ve put together 5 shopping hacks that will help you find more bang for your buck! First of all, think about how you want to shop this year. If you can’t make it there in person, use this time to shop online instead. This year is expected to be a little different in terms of how retailers meet their customers. The days of rushing in store to get the best deal are coming to an end, as most stores are offering the same prices and products online. If you shop online, you can also start as soon as the clock strikes midnight and avoid the traffic. Second, don’t be afraid to ask for an extra discount. Many stores will offer a certain percentage off of your total purchase if you’re polite and have the time to wait in line again. If they are unwilling to give you that deal right then, simply check back later when it’s closer to closing time or ask for a rain check.  Also try finding some coupons and deals before you go to the store! There are great savings out there if you know where to look, so start your Black Friday sales off early by checking online or in the newspaper for extra money saving opportunities that will… Read More

Thanks to nature shampoo: Luxe quality without the salon price tag

Thanks to nature shampoo

Why wouldn’t you treat your hair as you would your skin with quality, sulfate-free products? Using products that contain sulfates are potentially not only bad for the environment but also bad for your scalp. For instance, did you know sulfate-free products help maintain the natural oils on your scalp and hair, whereas products containing sulfate can strip your scalp of natural oils? So if you’re looking for affordable, salon-quality hair products, the newly launched Thanks To Nature brand may very well be your new go-to.  Husband and wife co-founders, Natalie and Sean Cassar have seen great success in the hair, health and beauty industry, successfully launching Headgear, Barber & Co and Jack the Barber brands. However, they saw a clear gap in the market that will now be filled by Thanks To Nature.  “There was a huge gap in the market for salon-quality, naturally derived, efficacious hair products for women that were available in a supermarket. Australian women spend so much on salon shampoos and we wanted to make salon-quality more accessible,” said Natalie.  All products in the collection are vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, contain no parabens and are sulphate-free. Not only is this luxury haircare range developed using the best naturally derived ingredients but is also accessible, affordable and comes with a huge 500ml of product.  All products in the Thanks To Nature collection are delicately fragranced and come in a luxurious matte finish bottle with copper detailing. The packaging is so slick, you’ll be proud to display the products in your bathroom. And may we… Read More

Gone are the days of checking your face in the mirror at Sunglass Hut! All you need’s your star sign. Helping us find #TheSunWithin, Sunglass Hut has teamed up with astrologer Natasha Weber to come up with a style guide for faces according to what’s written in the stars. Why? All so your inner style matches your outer. We had a chat with Natasha about zodiacs, faces and sunnies and discovered a bit about how can you discover your inner personality and bring it out in bold new ways using the constellation. “Each planet and zodiac sign represent a unique part of yourself. In astrology, the sun reveals your character and how you shine your light. This new campaign is a perfect match with astrology because a person’s style choices reflect their inner spark and confidence, much like their sun sign does. This summer, you can choose frames to shine your sign, from the inside out,” she explained. When it comes to how well your sign(s) know you, it turns out there’s a reason that your astrological sign can be represented in frame shape. Natasha explains that it’s just as specific personality traits are associated with the signs, so too are colours, styles and fashion trends. Aries are sporty, so Rams are drawn to frames that suit an active lifestyle. As the romantics of the zodiac, Cancers love subtle shapes that can be worn with pretty dresses or pastel shirts. It’s all about being true to your sign, right down to the fashion details. She… Read More

Dogs are like people. They’re happy sad, love cuddles and food and going for walks. Oh, and if you ask Australian entrepreneur Alex Dreise, they like nice things, too. She has opened the Topdog Boutique to serve just that purpose, pumping out quality dog bits for the pup who has a style all their own. My two favourite things in this world are dogs and design, but I ran into issues trying to purchase products for my dog Romeo from exotic locations. I’d been dreaming about launching a site for discerning owners who are aesthetically and sustainably minded, and in March I finally took the leap,” said Alex. It’s an online destination for the dog lover and owner who wants something nicer than the run-of-the-mill. Alex chooses things to stock that are as practical as they are aesthetically stunning, so creating a collection of some of the nicest canine products from Australia, Europe, the United States and Africa. From bespoke blankets and beds to hand- made bowls and bowties, Dreise has scoured the globe for the best of the best. “I always try and get a sample of the product and test it with Romeo (her own dog). It is not just about aesthetics, usability and enjoyment is paramount, and nothing makes it to the site unless it gets his two (non-opposable) thumbs up!” she said. From San Fran to Brooklyn, German to Australia, the products on hand are tested, quality produced and stocked for your enjoyment. See the ful range and get your own… Read More
