{Christmas Prizeapolooza 2018} Christmas is better with Plastic Cactus under the tree

Posted in The Nest giveaways by centralwestnest

The absolute best thing about having this blog is all the cool, new people I get to meet and Michelle from Plastic Cactus is one such fantastic find!

Plastic Cactus sells earrings/brooches and necklaces of all shapes, colours and sizes for ladies of all shapes, colours, sizes and ages. There is literally something for everyone… Pugs to pacman, Dogs to Dinosaurs, Danglies to Dots.. you name it and Plastic Cactus probably has it (and if she doesn’t she will try and create it for you!)

Michelle prides herself on finding the perfect pair of earrings for each person. Whether it’s for them or for a gift. I love that she can even help out with special events. If you are heading somewhere and want to match your outfit to your earrings she’s your girl!

Plastic Cactus is your one-stop gift super shop. Whether it’s kids buying for teachers, Grandparents buying for Grandaughters, BFF’s buying for BFF’s, Boyfriends buying for girfriends, Dads & Kids buying for Mums… She has everyone covered!

Plus, Michelle has this incredibly amazing ability to get people out of their comfort zone. She will have you wearing some bright pink cockatoos and getting compliments before you know it! She says while she has your everyday staples covered, once you step outside your comfort zone you are likely to live there!

Plastic Cactus earrings are also fantastic conversation starter “Are they giant T-Rexs hanging from your ears?”, well yes, yes they are!

These gorgeous earrings are stocked at Aldente, (etched acryllic) Dejorgia (hand painted Bamboo) The Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (the Gallery Collection) Ripe Boutique In Mudgee, Made590 in Newtown. What I love is that each Bathurst store has its own special collection, there’s no cross over so you can be assured you are getting something really special!

You can find Plastic Cactus on Instagram of Facebook but if you love having a chat with a really cool person than make sure you track Michelle down at The Millthorpe Markets, The Ego Fete, The Catheral Fete, The Bathurst Artisan Markets or one of her Pop up shops at her home.

Plastic Cactus is really afforable and you can know that you are helping a local mama out by shopping locally and supporting her.

{Christmas Prizeapolooza 2017} Eye love Christmas

Posted in The Nest giveaways by centralwestnest

We are thrilled to welcome on board to this year’s Christmas Prizeapolooza the team from Angela Morris Optometrist.

Operated by Optometrists Angela and Laurence they work side-by-side with Robyn and Sam to offer brilliant customer service. This local business has been growing with the community since 1999. They pride themselves on quality service and a very high standard of care.

Angela Morris Optometrist are your go-to for bulk-billed Medicare eye examinations. Even if you do not need glasses, you know that should have a regular check up to ensure the good health of your eyes. These checks help watch out for such problems as macula degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts. Children too, should have their eyes checked around six months of age, when they start preschool, and before they start school, to ensure that they are off to the best possible start.

My family goes to Angela Morris Optometrist and we are always welcomed by friendly, knowledgeable and approachable staff.

What I love is that they are available when you really need them. My darling 4 year old poked herself in the eye with a broken hoola-hoop late on a Friday afternoon and after a quick phone call to Angela Morris Optometrists they arranged to see my little one straight away.

They are always giving back to the community and offer free child vision assessments in preschools and schools. They also sponsor community initiatives such as local theatre performances, sporting groups, schools and charities.

Angela Morris Optometrists offer all the latest styles in glasses and can order just about anything to suit your own personal style. Apart from the huge selection of sunglasses, they now also stock the beautiful Maui Jim sunglasses. Maui Jim have the clearest polarised lenses that protect your eyes from glare and harmful UV, whilst giving you unbelievable clarity and colour.

Make sure you contact the team today (you certainly don’t want to miss out on your health fund benefits before the end of December!):

{Christmas Prizeapolooza 2016} Win the gift of pure memories with Jennifer Stocks Photography

Posted in The Nest giveaways by centralwestnest

Jennifer Stocks is one of kind; talented, fun and friendly. She is an artist who takes an immense amount of pride in her work and someone who manages to capture your family’s love in a moment in time.

Jen is one of Australia’s most sought after and celebrated photographers and is a fully accredited member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP). As evidence of her wonderful skills and talent she has won numerous awards for her work both at a state level and nationally.

She prides herself on fresh, contemporary images that are honest and often breathtaking.

She captures moments in time so you can keep them for always.

Jen is a professional newborn, baby, child & family photographer servicing the Central West and surrounding areas.

Our family has had the pleasure of working with Jen on numerous occasions and she captures those pivotal moments between moments – you know the ones that I will want to relive as we all grow.

One of my favourites sessions I have ever had with my little ones was the Pure Baby Session. The Pure Baby sessions are studio portrait shoots designed specifically for babies aged 5-15 months of age (or pre-walking).

The sessions run for approximately 60-90 minutes and are the perfect way to capture your little one’s gorgeous smiles, expressions, and quirky characteristics. That age is perfect because it’s the time when a baby’s personality really starts to emerge.

Below is my Audrey – tongue out, weird hair, chubs for days. Purely how she was.

If you want to capture memories, then you need to contact Jennifer Stocks Photography today.

To celebrate all that is wonderful about the Christmas season Jen is offering a very special prize to one lucky Nester. She is giving away one Pure Baby Session! How wonderful – imagine being able to capture your little one’s chubby thighs or long eyelashes in a comfortable and supportive environment so you can remember it for always.

To be in the running all you have to do is be a ‘liker’ of Jennifer Stocks Photography’s Facebook Page as well as The Central Nest’s facebook page and like the ORIGINAL competition post on our facebook page.

Posted in Great pieces, Organise your nest, This is life by centralwestnest

Holy guacamole batman – cancel your plans for today.

I am so cereal.

I am about to show you the best way to ~~waste~~ re-spend your day.

Please let me introduce you to the VERY talented and completely generous Amy Moss from Eat Drink Chic. She has a completely pimpin’ website that just consumes me.

It is pretty and special and delightful. Best of all it is guaranteed to make you smile.

Amy is a graphic designer who loves all things gorgeous and actually creates (and shares for completely un-co design peeps like me) free printables to make your stuff look good. It is great to see someone so clever, doing so well.
