Beat the Heat! 🌞

Hot days are here, and staying hydrated is one of the simplest ways to protect your health. Dehydration and heat exhaustion can sneak up quickly — especially in kids, older adults, and anyone on medicines that affect fluid balance.

💧 Top tips to stay cool:
• Sip water regularly (don’t wait until you’re thirsty!)
• Avoid long periods in direct sun
• Check in on neighbours, friends and family
• Watch for early warning signs like dizziness, headache, dry mouth or fatigue

If you’re unsure whether any of your medicines increase heat-related risks, pop in and chat with our friendly team — we’re here to help you stay safe all summer long.

🌴 Stay cool, stay hydrated, and take care of each other!

🌊 Daily Wellness Reminder

Take a slow breath in… and let it drift out like a gentle tide.
December can feel wild — extra tasks, extra noise, extra everything — but you deserve moments of calm woven into your day.
Pause. Ground yourself. Feel your feet on the earth (or the sand) and remember that not everything needs your energy at once.
One breath. One step. One moment at a time. 💙✨

Celebrating Our Team: A Relaxing End-of-Year Cruise

As we wrap up a very busy year at Pharmacy for Life, it was a real treat to bring all our staff together for a relaxing cruise up the beautiful Mooloolaba canals. We spent the day enjoying prawns, a delicious cheese platter, and the best company we could ask for. A big thank you to everyone who made it a wonderful day out and for all the hard work throughout the year. Here’s to a healthy and happy new year ahead!

You’ve probably heard of niacinamide — but what does it actually do?

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is one of the most studied ingredients in dermatology, known to support the skin barrier, improve hydration and help maintain an even tone. The Solarcare range includes it at clinically relevant doses in all their products.

This month, I am swimming (at least) 9km in Swim For Breast Cancer to help save lives.

Because every day, 9 Australians die from breast cancer.

My goal is to raise funds for National Breast Cancer Foundation to support vital breast cancer research. Ongoing research is the only way we can improve our understanding of how breast cancer originates, grows and spreads, in order to develop tests, treatments and interventions to improve outcomes for people with the disease.

Please make a donation now to support my 9km challenge:

Your donation is tax-deductible and you’ll receive a receipt via email.

Thank you so much.
