Welcoming Buteyko Health and Breathing

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 23:49:28 +0000

Happy new year all! After a lovely Christmas break, we are back in the swing of things here at littleBig. To kick off the new year we’d like to introduce Buteyko Health & Breathing to the fold. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term Buteyko, allow us to fill you in…

Buteyko is a breathing retraining and health education program which provides maximum relief of symptoms and minimum use of medications and machines. Specificially it’s great for improving sleep apnoea, snoring, insomnia, nasal problems, ashtma, anxiety, sports performance and general health.

We’ve found out some great things during our research on Buteyko and are very happy to be spreading the word. Stay tuned for more on Buteyko, and make sure you check out when the free Buteyko seminar is coming to your area.

Happy breathing x

Spring Menu Launch Party @ Taxi Dining Room

admin — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 04:38:49 +0000

As you know, LBMPR is now working with the wonderful Taxi Dining Room and its sister venues, Transit Cocktail Lounge and Transport Hotel.

Last Tuesday, October 25th, we celebrated the launch of Taxi’s stunning new Spring menu at an exclusive cocktails and canapés soirée. The event was a huge success! Executive Chef Tony Twitchett’s food was, of course, delectable and the delicious wine and cocktails, matched by Head Sommelier Jackson Watson, complemented it perfectly.

The guest list was studded with stars and movers and shakers in the food scene, and the feedback has been outstanding across the board. We would like to congratulate the team at Taxi for putting on such a gorgeous evening, and are looking forward to our next opportunity to devour the Spring menu.

Pawsome Savings with Pawfect Deals

admin — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 04:26:09 +0000

A very warm welcome to our new client, Pawfect Deals, who LBMPR will be handling the PR for. LBMPR are pleased to announce the launch of their new website, PawfectDeals.com.au, which offers pet only daily deals where you’ll be able to take advantage of the huge daily savings - from pet grooming to worming tablets and just about every other pet problem you can think of.

The site was established by Australian vet, Dr Rod Sharpin, who wanted to help his patient’s owners save money on pet products and services.

According to Rod, “Australians just love their pets. In fact, 78% of pet owners spend more time with their pets than they do with their own spouse. They’re more than happy to spend money on their pets, but we wanted to offer pet owners a way of using their collective power to score some ‘pawfect’ deals for pets.”

Each day, a pawsome deal will be offered to members either nationally, or in each capital city. Members can pounce on that deal by clicking on the ‘Buy it now’ button, and once they have purr-chased the deal, a voucher will be sent to their inbox. Like other group buying sites, the deal will only go through if the minimum number of deals are purchased – and make no bones about it, the bigger the community, the greater the savings!

To sign up for some pawsome deals then visit PawfectDeals.com.au or join their Facebook community at I Love Pets – Australia.

BOBS by Skechers

admin — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 07:15:25 +0000

While most shoe splurges result in a guilty conscience, here is a line of footwear you can feel good about slipping into! Skechers has created a new collection of canvas slip-ons called BOBS which stands for Benefitting Others by Shoes. For every pair of BOBS sold, Skechers will give a pair to a child in need through the Soles4Soles shoe charity. This on trend product is colourful, comfortable and easy to wear.

A great addition for a summer wardrobe (if summer ever comes round again) and a great way to give back to those in need. Call 1800 655 154 for stockist enquiries.
