Keep the following safety tips in mind when setting up your nursery:

• Keep the cot clear of curtain or blind cords as they are a strangulation hazard.
• Keep the cot clear of heaters stoves and power points.
• Set the mattress base to the lowest position before your baby can sit up.
• Remove climbing aids (such as a large toy) from the cot once your child can stand.
• Regularly check that nuts and bolts are tight as per the maintenance instructions supplied with the cot.

Along with a cot, a mattress is also an important purchase to take into consideration when setting up a safe environment for your baby. In Australia each year over 3,500 families experience the sudden and unexpected death of a baby or child. Since SIDS and Kids Safe Sleeping commenced promoting healthy sleeping for babies over 6500 babies lives have been saved. To read more about how to sleep your baby safely, view the SIDS and Kids website www.sidsandkids.org which also features Safe Sleeping resources that you can download.

The new Sweet Dreams Cot Bed is Australian Standards approved (AS/NZS 2172:2010) and the My Bub Cot Bed Mattress complies with SIDS and Kids standards.

With Australia Day just around the corner, we’ve got the BBQ set up and prepped for a serious day of cooking. What have you got planned? If you are struggling with ideas here’s some tips to make sure you have the ultimate BBQ:

• Clean your BBQ! You don’t want to be cooking on a dirty BBQ. Using cooking paper on the hot plate section also helps with cooking marinated meats.
• Make sure you have a enough gas – you don’t want to be serving up half cooked sausages on the day
• Buy the day before – you don’t want to be stressed with having to buy food on the day and remember many grocery stores don’t open until later on Australia Day. Try your local farmers markets as well to source affordable and fresh meat and vegetables to cook up. Think corn, mushrooms, onions etc
• Marinate steak the night before or 4 hours prior to cooking.
• Get some tips on cooking the perfect steak to impress your guests and family: http://www.taste.com.au/how+to/articles/795/how+to+barbecue+the+perfect+steak
• Avoid pricking your sausages so you do they lose flavour.
• Remember you can also serve up some small, non-BBQ cooked foods such as meat pies or even damper! 
• Serve up something sweet at the end of the day. Lamingtons, pavlova or special Australian themed cupcakes go down a treat. Again, prepare these the night before and add final touches prior to serving.
• Don’t forget all the other important things like an esky and ice for cold drinks, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, good music and of course some comfortable seating.

For those who really want to impress, (or those who don’t have a bbq) check out our great range of stainless steel BBQ’s and Outdoor Kitchens available online and in store http://www.superamart.com.au/outdoor/bbqs/

Q: How did you become a stylist and why? And how long have you been styling for?

A: I actually have a strong background in the health industry, and stumbled across the events industry, which is where the styling interest was born. It was all ‘very meant to be’. I’ve always had a love for creative design. My now business partner, Kelly introduced me to the events  industry, which is a melting pot industry like no other, combining fashion, styling, interiors & visual elements. I love what I do as no one day is like the next – one week I will be styling a multi-million dollar riverfront home, the next I will be involved in styling a photo shoot, and the next setting up beautiful beachfront weddings. I love the creative aspect, but also like where it fits into the world of business. It has been a relatively short 2^nd career – I’ve been in the industry for about 5 years.

Q: Where do you get your inspiration from?

A: I get my inspiration from everything around me. My inspiration finds its identity from a range of styles, fashion labels, colours, trends and icons. I am enchanted by Jacqui Onassis, everything at Anthropologie, the era of art deco, urban architecture, all that shimmers and sparkles, French champagne shared with friends, New York in winter, Vogue, Colin Cowie, red lips, city lights as the sun goes down. The list goes on and on….

Q: What were your favourite pieces to work with on the Super A-Mart shoot?

A: My favourite pieces to work with on this project were the fabulous cushions and rugs. What a diverse range of colours & textures! They are two of the most simple and cost effective ways to add style to any room in the house. And remember, they don’t always have to match perfectly – have fun mixing it up!

Q: With Christmas fast approaching, do you have any tips on decorating the house on a budget?

A: Keep it simple with cool neutral colours and build from there. Bright and vibrant colours are in this season, however less is more when it comes to pop colours. For example, if you love red use mainly neutral cushions on your lounge with one or two varying textured and patterned red cushions. This can be highlighted with minimal colour palette accents through the room (eg a red frame or vase). Less is usually more when it comes to pop colours, especially if they are bold colours. Styling rooms this way allows for easy transitions when you want to change colours in a new season.
