I'm not sure why I have not been outlet shopping my entire life. I was on the hunt for new football…read moreboots and was advised the Nike Outlet at Westgate had a 30% off sale. Half an hour later I had new football boots for $90, which had originally been on sale for near $200 at their time of release. I got sucked into the outlet trap (some would argue bargain bin) immediately and explored the store that was full of deals. Replica soccer shirts were only $30, a fraction of the price at other sports stores and running gear was also much cheaper, such as shorts and singlets. Outlet shopping appears to be all about timing however. Many of my first preference boots were not the ideal size (way too big or way too small) with the limited range for the most desired and popular sizes being the trade-off. It is possible to find out from the retail Nike stores when they are sending products to the outlet stores, something I would suggest doing.

Really odd layout - all the clothes are displayed in aisles like a supermarket! I found it hard to…read morelook at stuff properly - can't say I'm a fan. Maybe it was the layout, but there didn't seem to be a huge selection either.

For close to four decades, I've happily avoided clothing stores selling items for toddlers, babies…read moreand other little ones. But now that I'm a proud father, I often find myself shopping for new clothes, even when he's got more than enough outfits already. Walking past Pumpkin Patch, I decided to see what is new and fresh in the one year old range, and I was quite surprised to see the latest trends in onesies. My memories of all the babies I've ever seen where that they were dressed in either a white blue or pink outfit. I can't even recall ever seeing stripes on a baby's clothes. Pastels seems to be big in the 6 months to 1 year range, and for those little darlings learning to walk, they offer frills for girls and prints of toys for the boys. Boy, how times have changed.

As with any approved Stihl dealer, these guys know their products inside and out and can provide all of the assistance you will need pre and post purchase. If you are just moving into the area having purchased a lifestyle block, then you will also be popping in to price up the ride-on mowers, a couple of which sit outside the store frontage.

What is nice about a small hair salon in a friendly community village is the one on one attention…read moreyou get. While you can walk in to this salon with no appointment necessary and get a haircut on the spot, good for the unprepared and spontaneous, of course the appointment approach is best. I quizzed the owner about costs for a haircut, very reasonable at under $30, however when I started probing about how much colour and other treatments would be, she kindly said I'd have to call later since she had a customer to attend to. I would like to be that customer because that screams of a great hairdresser who has your best interests at heart, you are numero uno to the hairdresser whilst sitting in the styling chair. This is a Wella salon, proudly displayed on their signage and it's a neat little salon. Great girlie time-out and a stylish hair style when you walk out the door.
