Happy Herbs. Now, I know what you're thinking. And I really don't know. I didn't ask. But I DO know…read morethat they have a range of OTHER herbs for sale (all of which are presumably legal). And yes, you can smoke them. And yes, they make you feel things. So, I can't see the different between legal smoking herbs and illegal smoking herbs. But then, maybe I oughtn't use my eyes for the differentiation. Not all the herbs for sale are for smoking, though. Some are for rubbing on the skin, other are for direct ingestion, and other are for smelling. There are health and performance boosters and aphrodisiacs too. But what caught my eye, because I lucked out with an awesome star sign, was the zodiac sticks of incense. As I was ready the astrological description on the front of the packet and discovering how awesome I am, a throng of teenagers entered the store. The young, beautiful lady behind the counter handled them with - as Hemingway would put it - grace under pressure. The teenagers were asking her about certain herbs, which she assured them they were too young to buy. Then they began asking if there was anything that could make their 'dicks bigger'. Now, maybe they engineer teenagers differently these days, but a few years ago I wasn't going around heartily declaring my anatomy needed any sort of modification. I assured everyone I met that it was of a very generous proportion. And my friends did the same. Whether it was true or not. Regardless, she didn't buckle under the pressure and that, I think, is to be commended.

I love anything that spreads happiness so I dived into this shop as soon as it opened, a little bit…read moreconcerned that it was a front for a marijuana den. As I entered the shop I was delighted to find a hippy manning the store, complete with dreads and guitar in hand. He was certainly very happy and chilled ( I am guessing he isn't averse to smoking a few of the less legal variety of "happy herbs".) The shop has a vast array of medicinal herbs in packets displayed on the walls. Most of the herbs I was told are grown locally if possible. The packets of herbs give good information on what the herb is good for treating or preventing. I came out with a treasure trove of leaves to boil up for different ailments. It is enlightening to see the herbs that are usually hidden in tablets in their natural (although dried) state. So if you want to find a tea to brew for sugar cravings or to help your immune system etc wander in and have a look around.

There is often a naturopath in-store to assist you in choosing the best product for your particular need. I appreciate this as sometimes it seems the health shop staff have less of a clue than I do. It's not always the cheapest place, but for the range and advice available, it's usually worth the few extra bucks. In a nutshell - one stop health shop!

In this sort of health industry where there are so many products that come out everyday, most of which you have no idea what they do, a helping and professional hand is much needed. First of all in terms of stock and products the store rates well. There is a full range of brand named vitamins and minerals and way more of a variety than those you would find at the supermarket. There is a gluten free range for those allergic and different sections for muscle building products, speciality teas and mueslis, oat meals and brans. The thing I loved is the organic soaps which at only $1.30 is a bargain and they have really yummy flavours which are made from Palm Oil that is not collected from rainforests that destroy the habitat of endangered animals.

I found some different gluten free pasta made from spinach and beetroot can't wait to try this.

Romeo's Organic Wholefoods is a one-stop-shop for health. It has a small range of organic fruit and…read morevegetables, as well as dairy and vegetarian foods. There are aisles of wholemeal organic pasta, flours, nuts, and organic coffee and teas etc. On the other side of the shop is a large range of health and beauty products, including organic and free-of-everything hair-care, moisturisers, make-up and more. At the front of the shop is a small cafe connected to the register. What initially caught me was the sign for $6 organic coffee and vegan muffin. I'm not vegan, but I try to eat it when I'm able, so I bee-lined for the counter. I got myself a latte and a berry muffin, and some free reading material. For an organic coffee, I was impressed. Having just read about the sins of sugar, I had my coffee without my usual one teaspoon, which could have been a mistake since I often need to sugar to take the edge of the bitterness. This however was fine without, and not bitter at all, though maintaining its flavour. It wasn't quite like normal coffee, but I couldn't pin-point why that was. Still, I was happy with it. Vegan sweets are mostly really moist, and this was no exception. I couldn't tell it was vegan apart from its density, and I love a dense muffin, so no complaints here.

Organic can be pricey as I'm sure you're well aware (I sure as hell am being a uni student) but they do some ok deals on select items. We always browse their discounted items section and scab a few bargains. We shop around quite a bit for organic items and I must say they do alright on price, range and quality. If more big retailers can push organic hopefully it will become more affordable, without compromising the ethics ("free-range" eggs are an example of how standards can be watered down for corporate greed). In the meantime Romeo's Organic Wholefoods is on my list of places to source stuff from. Highly recommend for those that are like-minded!
