Although there is a common misconception that you have to be a lawyer who enjoys golf to live in Remuera, that is wildly incorrect. You have to be a lawyer who enjoys golf and owns a schnauzer to live there, but that doesn’t mean you can’t visit.

Be it I am one of the worlds worst repliers, I am probably not the best person to be writing this article. There doesn't seem to be any method to the madness; I consider myself to be a highly-organised individual; my days are planned to the tee, and I live and die by my iCal. So why when it comes to the simple task of flicking someone a response message, do I fall so short? 

Listen up ladies and gents, it’s time to start locking down a significant other for no other reason but your ten-year financial plan. Why? Because the prices of avos have now dropped below the $5 threshold (that will indisputably AND permanently lock you out of home-ownership), and saving for a deposit just became a reality. 

Being a kid in the ’90s meant you were privy to some pretty wild TV programmes. The spiritual home of nineties nostalgia, Nickelodeon, was responsible for the majority of them, that simply would not fly in our modern health-and-safety conscious society. Here are a few of them:.

Look, the last thing we want to do is stress you out more by reading a stressful article about the effect stress has on your skin. But, unfortunately, there is a very real connection between stress and skin and the first step to combatting its effects is to understand why exactly this happens. And the good news is, there are things you can do to mitigate its effects. 

Sleep, in its most basic form, is your body’s natural repair mechanism. While we sleep, our bodies produce collagen, the protein responsible for keeping your skin looking firm, elastic, and youthful. If you don’t get enough good-quality sleep or aren’t preparing your skin properly for bedtime, these important restorative functions are interrupted, leading to a host of different issues.

I think we’re all fairly caught up on how detrimental not wearing adequate sun protection can be to our health, so the risk of being misinformed is significantly higher than other types of skincare.
