When I was pregnant, and ready to pop as they would put it, I really wanted the baby to come out…read moreearly rather than later. It was the 2nd time around for me, and when I was pregnant with my first, the doctors told me drinking Raspberry Leaf tea was good for bringing on labour, and I'm not at all sure it worked. This time around, I wanted the damn tea as well, and no one stocked it. Not one of the chemists I went to or the smaller health food shops stocked what I needed... not even the supermarkets. It's tea people, come on! So I walk into Go Vita and a lovely man greets me with a 'woah you are getting to have the baby now yes' and I nodded yeah yeah. What's new. So I told him what I was after and he said that they didn't have the tea, but had raspberry leaf capsules, so i wouldn't have to go through the bother of making the tea. Fantastic I thought! He then went on about when his daughters were babies and I was stuck there for another few minutes, but it told me this guy was the owner of the store, and he definetely knew his stuff. Which is always a fresh air from asking the staff who never know anything. This is a great place to get your supplements no one else has, and they are all natural therapists and owner worked... so you'll always be getting highly personal service. Love them, will definetely be back... if baby number 3 is ever on the horizon. PS. The prices may be a bit higher than the normal place you buy stuff at though.

I watched a cooking show where Quinoa grain was needed for the recipe, but I couldn't find it for…read morethe life of me, at either Woolies or Coles. I must not be looking right or they just didn't stock it. Forgetting about the search for Quinoa grain, I ended up going to Go Vita to buy some fish oil supplements and as I was about to go to the counter to check out... There it was, Organic Quinoa grains. As it turns out, there are a lot of great organic products you can buy here that would be great to cook with. Not just cook with, there are plenty of products that are great for skin care like their goats milk soaps, I love it. Feels so great for my skin. The staff are very nice. They really informed advice and genuine care for their customers. Given that they are professional naturopaths also gives me peace of mind knowing that their advice isn't just wishy washy chatter, but actually sound information. Go Vita is a pretty good place to go, to stock on some hard to find supplements, vitamins and other healthy products. And if you are ever stuck on a product and just want to know more, the friendly staff at the Go Vita Mt Ommaney, will be glad to help.

Get your $6.99 rump here, get your $6.99 here, you won't FIND prices this cheap anywhere else,…read more$6.99 for your grain fed rump everyone, come on up. I have respect for these guys who stand in front of shops and yell out the specials. The young man was particularly cute on this day when I heard the speaker go, so I went to check out his 'rump steak'. MMmm yes, very tender. Perving aside, thus started my 15 year love affair with Andrew's Quality Meats. It sounds gross, like who the hell has a love affair with a butcher shop? Me. Okay? They always do a great rib fillet. They do $2.99/kg chicken drumsticks practically all year round (my honey soy drummies are fantastic), the cuts are always good ones, not sloppy fatty ones (you know what i'm talking about), they do a great roast chicken breast with macadamia and cranberries inside (oven roasted 180 degrees celcius for 40 minutes) and they do amazingly lean sausages that taste even better than the fatty ones. They will french cut the pork rack for you, they will practically kill a cow and slice the rump off if they are out, they will crumb your lamb cutlets in front of you if they have none in the display window. In fact, Andrew even told me how best to cook my rib fillet roast as i'd never cooked one before all those years back. The shop was busy, and he took the time to pull mea side and make sure I knew what I was doing, to get the best out of the great cut of meat i'd just paid for. They also do family packs, bbq packs, cheap bones and mince for your dogs... the mince is minced fresh daily as well. 2kg of Premium 4 star beef mince for $16. 4 stars people! The meat isn't glad wrapped up, they do great turnover and they take orders over the phone, there isn't much these great bunch of guys won't do. Ask you how your day is and mean it, oh sorry, there are a couple of ladies there to. Definetely get your meat here, if you're into the freshest meat around anyway.
