/ EDITORS LETTER
Dear Mikey,
please forgive me, for I have shopped again... Hi Shoppers This month’s issue is a little different. I was just about to send what will now be our September Issue over to Christy to put together and I had a thought, I wanted to dedicate this issue to the small businesses that are based in the drought affected areas. A couple of days before I saw some Insta Stories from Nikki, founder of the amazing blog Styling You (you should check it out). Nikki had seen an interview on The Today Show interviewing a local business and wanted to help. Nikki had asked for businesses in these areas to message her and she would share on her page (the power of social media). I thought this was a fantastic idea. Then it got me thinking, how can I help? Then a voice in my head said, “well hello silly you have a digital magazine all about where to shop”. So, I worked through the night to get this issue completed and send over to graphics & design. Cash donations are great and I’m all for it, but we can help in other ways. In a world of online, we can shop anywhere anytime and support these businesses. I have listed over 30 great online stores with a direct link to their stores. All I ask is that the next time you are shopping for a gift or something for yourself please consider these businesses. Father’s Day is just around the corner and before you know it Santa will be here. Let’s shop and support these Aussies. I will be, I’m already making a list for Christmas and a few summer dresses for myself. Happy Shopping! Kath x
