Thank You
We would like to extend a huge thank you to every one
who has got behind the Support Scent initiative so far. There is still time to
get your Support Scent fragrance. With all proceeds going to the GDA it is the
ideal way to your show your support for the blind and vision impaired in a way
that they can really appreciate – through their heightened sense of smell. Read
on to find more about what your support will mean to the GDA and to the blind
and vision impaired.
Steven Merrivale – Guide Dog User
‘Before I got my Guide Dog, Clive, I was starting to
loose my self confidence, I felt so isolated. But with Guide Dogs
assistance I’ve been able to regain my independence – I can go anywhere,
anytime. I’m so proud to be involved with Support Scent. It’s such a
unique idea, and it’s exciting to think that for the first time I will be able
to really sense that the community is supporting not only me, but everyone who
is vision impaired.’
Theresa Hoogland – Marketing and Fundraising Manager GDA
‘People may not know that it costs $30,000 to breed
and train every Guide Dog, however the impact they make on someone’s life is
priceless. And with no Government funding for our Guide Dog program, we
rely heavily on the support of the community. We truly believe that with
Support Scent, not only can we raise much needed funds, but we can bring awareness
and insight into the work of these amazing animals and the freedom and
independence they can return to the lives of the blind and vision impaired in
this country.’
Arabella
Ramsay – Fashion Designer and Support Scent Ambassador
‘The Guide Dogs is a charity that I feel very strongly
about especially due to my love of dogs. I wanted to contribute in some way and
help people so this charity was the perfect match plus who can resist all those
cute puppies. It is such a great cause giving the visually impaired the
independence and confidence to live a normal life. The whole idea behind
Support Scent is so clever as the fragrance itself breaks down barriers for the
vision impaired because it is a product that they too can sense and
understand.’
Jo Horgan –
kit cosmetics Founder
‘(Working with GDA
is) so rewarding. It’s fantastic to be able to contribute to such am uplifting
and positive cause. Guide Dogs Australia plays a vital role in our community,
so we are just thrilled to be able to support them. ‘

SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF THESE
We think Linda Evangelista was onto something when she
declared she will not get out of bed for more than $10,000 a day… Oh to be a
normal-rules-don’t-apply supermodel and be able to shirk all responsibility in
lieu of slipping back into the comfy confines of our PJs and bunking down for
just a few hours more snooze time.
Unfortunately, however, most of us have slightly less
flexible working schedules and this dream will remain just that… a very
sweet
dream. For this reason, and many more, us mere mortals need to be
careful not
to waste our oh-so-precious z-time tossing, turning and counting sheep,
leaving
us cranky and irritable in waking-time (not to mention with bags big
enough to
make the Hermes Birkin look like a clutch).
So
the time has come to rest easy and Dr Weil for Origins Night Health Collection
is here to help. Dr Weil, an Oprah-acclaimed integrative health expert, has
designed a seriously soul-loving range packed full of relaxation-inducing
essential oils including organic lavender, mandarin and chamomile essential
oils, to gently and naturally work with your body to support a good night’s sleep. Gaining international
praise from beauty insiders and health experts alike (see above), this range of
modern-day must haves will carry you far far away from the daily hustle and
bustle, peacefully into the land of the nod.
Featuring
a Bedtime Body Balm, Bath Oil, Face Cream and Spray these little treasures
are definitely well-deserved investment in your wellbeing and happiness, and a restful sleep will even mean you
will be more productive in the day – hmm… note to self: leave this on boss’s
desk as a subtle hint on how to increase productivity…
