| CHRISTMAS PRIZEAPOLOOZA 2019 | Plastic Cactus is a holidays must

One of the best local businesses I have learnt about since starting this blog is the gorgeous Michelle McRobert and her Plastic Cactus earring shop. 

Michelle operates Plastic Cactus  with a rotating group of loyal friends/shop girls (who get paid in earrings) Mel, Lindy, Trudie, Claudia, Ruby & Piper. Plus, her awesome delivery guy/husband Matt.

Plastic Cactus  offers acrylic & bamboo earrings (Dangles & Studs), brooches, hair clips and necklaces.

The thing that sets Plastic Cactus apart is just how passionate the team are about funky, colourful and affordable earrings & jewellery. Michelle is not afraid of colour and loves creating unique and fun earrings that either have the ‘Wow’ or they ‘Awwww, aren’t they cute’ factor.

Plastic Cactus also offers statement dangles that you could wear to a Ball, a formal or a graduation. You could wear them to the horse races, a Christmas party, a Halloween party, 80’s dress-up, a ladies lunch or even your very own wedding.

In case you’re not that brave she also offers a range of simple shapes for a little pop of colour for your work uniform. Plastic Cactus also offers small simple shapes that are suitable for the school kid in your life.

The range of tiny studs is crazy! Everything from unicorns, Bulldogs seahorses, lightning bolts, Pugs, Cats, Butterflies, Horses, Penguins, Frogs, Turtles, Sausage dogs, Wombats, Clouds, Skulls, Kangaroos, Ghosts, Bats, Poodles…. In every colour imaginable!

If you haven’t bought your end of year gift yet Plastic Cactus  are a great choice for the School teachers. Imagine the students each day looking forward to seeing what they wear to school each day!

One of the coolest new things I am crushing on from Plastic Cactus are the brooches. They come in all shapes & colours

Plastic Cactus  are the queens of collabs and have a ‘Smith & Jones’ range and a cool collab with Abby Smith who has a Vintage Clothing online shop called ‘A Puppy & Her’. Plastic Cactus  designed a range of earrings inspired by her & her collection of amazing Vintage clothing.

| CHRISTMAS PRIZEAPOLOOZA 2019 | That’s Hair Like It

One of my absolute favourite finds this year was Hair By Hair! Owned and operated by Emma Hair it is a fantastic salon that makes you feel good and most importantly welcome.

Emma works alongside Briana & Dianne and can take care of the whole family. They do cuts, colours and perms (not often but they can do it!). Extensions as well as bridal and event hair.

The whole team are highly trained in De Lorenzo products which are an Australian Family owned and operated Company. Their products are high quality, vegan, organic where possible, made and tested in Australia for our harsh climate

Hair By Hair opened in February 2006, with just Emma and her husband (who helped where he could!) Emma says hairdressing was always her passion and took a chance on starting a new business designed to focus less on busy appointment books and more on making clients feel good.

The thing that sets Hair By Hair apart is that they always offer real customer service, and take genuine pride in making people feel special.

It’s pretty simple Emma says just be genuine and take the time to listen. It seems to be working 14 years after starting her business and she has an incredibly loyal client network.

Hair By Hair works almost exclusively off word of mouth. Emma says it’s so rewarding when you meet a new client and they’re booked in because someone has told them how great Hair By Hair is!

Hair By Hair prides itself on being the type of business that means their staff can skip out to that important school assembly and get to weekend sport without feeling guilty. Striking a work/Life balance is so important (and ever changing) and Emma proudly says that she’s created a workplace which embraces the balance.

| CHRISTMAS PRIZEAPOLOOZA 2019 | WOW This season

One of our most popular giveaways during the Christmas Prizeapolooza is always this one. There is something about Kobie Benn and her WOW Personal Training that you can’t even put in words. It’s not just a fitness class, but an absolute game changer.

WOW stands for Women’s Only Workouts! It’s a safe place for all women to find support, strength and motivation.

I think the best part of WOW Personal Training is the reason it was started in the first place. Kobie says she has always battled weight issues her entire life and after suffering depression, anxiety and PTSD she found her passion for fitness and her entire life turned around.  Kobie knows what it’s like to be unhealthy and uncomfortable in her own skin and after losing 40kgs she knows what it takes to make changes that will stick. She doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk!

You can find WOW Personal Training at the Girl Guide Hall in the mornings (Cnr William & Charlotte Streets Bathurst) or at the Scout Hall (4 Suttor Street, West Bathurst) in the afternoons.

Kobie offers small group PT sessions up to 4 women per session, one on one personal training as well as group sessions so now you can’t find an excuse! There’s a class for every woman!

WOW Personal Training is just for girls. It’s a safe space where you can workout with no competition or egos. The group of women at WOW are amazing and supportive. They are all there for the same reason- to get in a cracking workout and have a laugh at the same time. There is a workout to suit everyone, and everyone is welcome.

So, now I have smashed your excuses get in contact with Kobie today!
