Bras by the Stars - Kim Walters Choices

Here at Spirit of Life Boutique we like to support all Breast Cancer related charities. Kim Walters Choices run a Bras by the Stars feature where local identities decorate bras. These are then displayed at shopping centres around Brisbane. This year we're getting behind an amazing fashion designer.. Connor O'Grady. You may have seen him on channel 7's Today Tonight program recently. You see, Connor is only 8 years old. He has wanted to be a fashion designer since he was literally knee high to a grass hopper.

His Grandfather bought him a sewing machine for Christmas and he uses this at the rear of his dad's veterinary surgery to crank out all sorts of creative designs. And remember he is only 8 years old. We are all so proud to support Connor in his endeavour to be a well known fashion designer by the time he grows up. Here is a picture of Connor and the bra he designed for Bras by the Stars for Kim Walters Choices.

Also our new webstie for Anita products is now up and running. Please enjoy.

Spirit of Life is the Brisbane home of Anita Care!

At last! Real choices in Post Breast Surgery Products.
I am so glad to let you know that we now stock virtually the entire range of Anita Care Products. While we have always stocked Anita products, we now carry a a whole lot more. What this means to you is real choice when it comes to purchasing your new Prosthesis. You can now choose from a wider range from both Amoena and Anita to ensure you get what suits you best; regardless of make. And of course the Medicare rebate still covers up to $400 towards the purchase of your new prosthesis. (Or $800 for bilateral).

On a lighter note, famous "Dog Whisperer" Cesar Milan is in town at the moment. (He will be appearing at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday 19) My husband Mark (a professional photographer) had to photograph him tonight and I was fortunate enough to meet him. For those of you who know of him from his TV shows, he is a very gentle and charming man. I spoke with him about my little dog Dorothy and Mark caught the moment for me!

Best regards

Welcome all delegates to Reach For Recovery in Brisbane

On behalf of all the staff here at Spirit of Life Boutique, we welcome all delegates to the Reach for Recovery Conference being held in Brisbane in May 2009. It is simply wonderful to see so much positive energy out there being focused on recovery from this dreaded disease of breast cancer.

Whether you need a new prosthesis, mastectomy bra or swimsuit or would simply like to chat and have a coffee or tea, we'd love to met you. Brisbane is a beautiful place to visit in May; our Mid-Autumn. Spend an extra day here and see the amazing sites we have to offer.

Enjoy

October is Think Pink Month - Live in Brisbane Northside?

Fund raising to help those women affected by breast cancer is so very important. But it can also be fun.. So listen to this and support Chicks in Pink

Friday October 24, Racecourse Road at Ascot is the place to be for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Here's how you can support this worthwhile cause and have a good time doing it.

I would encourage all those who can to attend this worthwhile project started by Bev (in the picture with me above) from the Lido.

At last! Medicare rebates for breast prostheses!

We're absolutely thrilled that Medicare is now paying rebates for breast postheses. If you have purchased a new prostheses since July 1, this year you can now claim a rebate. If you have private health insurance, you can claim the difference between your refund up to the Medicare limit. We strongly advise you to seek the finer details from Medicare.


Here at the Boutique we have been run off our feet by ladies wanting new prostheses. If you want to take advantage of this great offer, please ring ahead and book in for a fitting.

Fabulous news from our Government.

Cheers

What a fabulous day in Bundaberg

Well here it is, Monday night in Bundaberg and I have had a busy but very enjoyable morning with the local breast cancer support group. Maxine and her friends made both Mark and I very welcome. While I showed the ladies the very latest in prostheses and swim suits, Mark went walk about around the town looking for new gadgets!. The ladies meet here on the first Monday of every month and have a very warm caring group. The photos show me talking to the group and also Rosemary, Maxine and me.

Bundaberg Breast Cancer Support group visit.

So Spirit of Life Boutique is on the road again. My husband Mark has loaded the trusty Land Rover to the hilt with Prostheses, Mastectomy Bras and Swim suits and we're headed off to Bundaberg, Queensland today. You see, I had a visit in the Boutique from a lady who was part of a breast cancer support group in Bundaberg. She asked me if we could bring Spirit of Life to town. So tomorrow, Monday we'll be in Bundaberg showing the ladies the latest in breast prostheses and mastectomy swimsuits to the local ladies.
