What makes this one stand out is the really friendly, helpful staff, who always go above and beyond to help. Chris is the Pharmacist (that is his photo on the wall outside) and he can always be relied on for great advice. During my pregnancy and beyond he has helped me with choosing the right supplements for my needs and looking after my baby's well being too. When I sent my mum to this Pharmacy to find something for my little one's upset tummy, he remembered me straight away! The rest of the staff are also lovely. When I needed to pick up scripts for some vaccinations which needed to be stored in a temperature controlled fridge, they were only too happy to keep them for me overnight and bring them out to my car the next day as I was en route to my doctors appointment with the little one in tow! It's little things like this that keep me coming back, even though there are cheaper pharmacies nearby.

Welcome to my afternoon a few weeks back, where I was trying my hardest to convince pharmacies around Adelaide that I didn't want to set up a meth lab, I just wanted my nose to stop running. Enter Goodwood Day Night Chemmart - an absolute life saver. After calling about 5 pharmacies (and one hospital) this chemist asked me for the name of the drug on my script, and how many I was after (just 12) and went to go look in there store. Thankfully they had one packet left and it was definitely worth the tram ride to go pick them up. Everyone in the chemist was helpful, and they fixed everything up nice and quickly for me. I've been in here a few times before when I lived around the corner, and I've never had any issues. The store might be a bit smaller than some chemists, so you won't get the full range of all of your products, but they seem to stock all the essentials.

I always love the Body Shop, not least because I have weird reactions to a range of other beauty…read moreproducts (oddly enough usually the ones which say that they're 'all-natural') but also as the products seem to do what they say they will on the tin. The service in the Marion branch can sometimes be a bit hit and miss, I've had great advice here and had staff go the extra mile for me and then other times I've been completely ignored. Most people coming to the Body Shop are already converts to the brand and the range in store is extensive but I think a few of the staff members need to practice on service!

If I do step foot in The Body Shop these days I prefer the cozy size of this particular store…read more There was a time in the years of old when their thick syrupy lip gloss and vanilla perfume was all the rage (basically you'd smell like different varieties of ice-cream). At that stage it was one of the few companies that supported an ethical approach to ingredients, sourcing and anti-animal testing. In this enviro-conscious age many a store makes such claims, so one of the few things that separated this brand (and justified the expense) has lost prominence. Add to this that their founder sold the business to Loreal, or some similar conglomerate, a few years ago, and it's former spotless reputation is officially sullied. Having said that I would recommend the chamomile eye-make up remover (perfect for sensitive peepers like mine) and if your at a loss gift-wise you can't go too far wrong with the packs. At the very least it'll give someone nice products for when the guests come to stay. In a nutshell - fancy soaps anyone?!

I got a few cute little gift packs reduced down to $10, and some perfume on sale. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they seem to be everywhere so you're not standing there for ages waiting to be served. I haven't had a script filled here, but the times I've been in it looks pretty busy so be prepared to wait.

I used to buy Paw Paw lip balm from here all the time because they sell it slightly cheaper than other places, and when you're using a product all the time it adds up. The service is good, helpful staff and there's this one guy who is always cheery and cracking jokes. I haven't seen him for a while though, hmmm. Another plus: it's situated smack bang in Rundle Mall. Very convenient in my uni days.

What that says is this: Do you like feeling superior to other people around you? Do you like seeing only of-age people with prams AND shoes on? Do you drive a 4wd that you can totally justify because you have kids or an oversized Country Road shopping bag? Then Burnside Village is for you. The recently renovated centre is the place for the pompous to feel like they can go and judge each other and see who can buy the most expensive outrageous clothes. They kept an incredibly old tree ON THE INSIDE (I know, crazy!!) which is a nice touch, but the rest of the new renovation is white, sleek and sterile. I challenged my partner to find some 'soul' in this shopping centre, and all he could find was a store that sold cheese. Its only because he really likes cheese. However, the place is clean and does have a few touches of cool sculptural art and a ZARA - the much anticipated clothing store that left Australia behind for a while. There is plenty of parking now, on ground level, above ground level and under cover, but the expense of the cars in there pretty much restricts you going in unless you have at least good 3rd party insurance. I prefer to shop at other places, just because this is so sterile and I just don't like the pomp.

The kingdom of credit cards and pretension, high end fashion as far as the eye can see housing shop assistants who have this ability to look right through you. Everything glitters in an expensive way and the cocktail dresses are chained to their racks, even the vegetables have a certain shine to them. Yes I'm slightly bitter, But that's because I left a piece of my soul in Karen Millen and I know I'm not getting it back until I can afford one of her designs. One tip I will give if you're going to brave Burnside (and yes this is vain) dress for the occasion, otherwise you may feel more than a little out of place. I've seen ladies go grocery shopping in high heels! It was like being on the set of Stepford Wives, only these women are all too trendy and chic dressed in Carla Zampatti with a Chauffeured Bentley parked outside.
