SpILLInG THE bEanS Catching coffee with an idea

According to one cafe owner, cafes can lose up to 1kg a day in spilled coffee. That equates to about $40 per day (depending on your cost per kilogram) or 45 coffees. When baristas fill up the portafilter with coffee (the gadget they insert into the coffee machine), there’s an average loss of 5 –10% through spillage. Steve Guinness had an ingenious but very simple idea – create a small funnel to sit with the portafilter and prevent coffee from spilling over the edge. It also ensures customers get the full weight of a standard coffee. Where did it start? After finishing a bachelors degree in engineering and a masters in business and management at the University of Canterbury, Steve won a business-plan competition and the chance to spend time in the Canterbury Innovation Incubator. Here, he ran his first business, Wowza – a website showing students where the best deals in town were. “We had about 150 businesses on board and 3000 subscribers. Lots of alcohol, snow, and hair and beauty deals,” laughs Steve. The second business Steve sold was personalised university graduation rings, based on the concept from the US. He sees these two start-ups as stepping stones to the success of his current project. But it was also his time in the incubator, around other

It started with a lid from a coffee cup and became an engineered, stainless steel, cost-saving device for the coffee industry. Steve Guinness talks to Localist about his passion for coffee, his unique invention and life in Auckland. innovative projects, and as president of the Canterbury University Engineering Society (ENSOC) that gave him a good grounding in business. ENSOC ran 15 events a year, including the infamous Undy 500. “Working with a team of about 15 people under me was great experience in project management.” How did the coffee thing come about? Steve decided to put his energy into something he loves. “Because that’s the best thing to do, right? Work on something you’re passionate about.” Steve is a piccolo latte fan, but it was his first cappuccino that got him hooked. “Coffee is a massive passion of mine.” Being inspired by his work is one half of Steve’s business acumen; determination to succeed is the other. “It’s a mix of desire to succeed in whatever it is I’m doing and belief that I can succeed,” he says. “A massive part of that is persistence,” which is something he’s had to have over the two years it took to develop the Coffee Catcha idea into a prototype and then into a serious business solution. How easy was it to get started? It wasn’t just creative invention that started the Coffee Catcha. “I researched the market and asked what problems they had, then came up with a solution.”

SPILLING THE BEANS Having plenty of ideas isn’t an issue for Steve, “but you can’t go ahead with all of them. You have to choose the one you think will create the best solution and be the most viable as a business proposition.” Through the whole process, Steve worked closely with cafes and had amazing support from businesses. “Altura’s barists trainer used the Coffee Catcha at the barists champs; The BizDojo [collaborative working space in Newton] has invested capital into the company; and Wellington’s Caffe L’affare paid for the product trials.” How has living in Auckland helped? This is only Steve’s fourth year in Auckland but he’s loving it. Living in Grey Lynn/Ponsonby he’s close to his workspace, cafes (“for social and business purposes”), bars and shops, and it’s an easy walk, bike or drive anywhere he wants to go. He’s originally a Tauranga boy and has spent time in Wellington and Christchurch, “but Auckland feels like home,” he says. It’s not only the proximity to Coromandel and up north, but Steve says Auckland is the business hub of New Zealand. “The industry has been really supportive. There’s a really good coffee scene here and it’s where I need to be for business.” What’s great about your area?

“I love Ponsonby – great cafes, shops and bars all in a row. The food courts are awesome – low cost and really good quality. I really enjoy the festivals – Grey Lynn and Nixon Park festival – and the vibe during the Rugby World Cup was amazing. The cafes around the city

Some favourite cafes? Satiating his passion for coffee, Steve regularly visits Little B, Landreth & Co, Ripe, Altura, Theatre Cafe, Takapuna Beach Cafe, Benediction, Shaky Isles, Dizzengoff and Coffee Supreme. What’s in your future? The strategy is to ramp up sales and hit target markets – mainly Europe and the US – and there are patents for the Coffee Catcha all around the world. “The domestic market is really exciting. We want to produce a product for people to use with their coffee machine at home.”

There are also plans to produce versions of the Coffee Catcha at different price points. “I started with a premium quality version – stainless steel with rubber on the handle, which retails for $69.95. We’re going to put out plastic and aluminium versions too.”

Steve also wants to spend some time overseas, for business as well as a holiday. “I’m 27, but I’ve never done a proper OE. I’d like to spend a couple of years overseas.” “I see myself eventually having places all around the world. But there’ll definitely always be a connection with Auckland. I really rate Auckland.” Find out more at coffeecatcha.com

TO maRkET, TO maRkET A taste of Europe in your local area

You can’t get much more heart-ofthe-city than downtown Parnell, which is where you’ll find the French-style farmers market known as La Cigale. It began in 2004, and soon grew from a fortnightly to weekly event, and now includes Sundays. The diversity of food is excellent and emphasises the key to a good farmers market – the range of produce on offer. Depending on the time of year, you’ll find orchids from Waikato, a selection of meats from Mangatawhiri and preserves from Waiuku. Meanwhile, the thrill of stumbling across some new delicacy means you’ll want to roam every stall to make sure nothing is missed. While the main stalls area is outside, at the mercy of Auckland weather, it is mainly covered and dry, encouraging lengthy browsing no matter what the climate. The inside warehouse space is warm and bustling and follows on from the kitchen shop at one end through to the wine store at the other, with cafes and a fromagerie in between. The seats at the café are usually full but tend to turn over quickly. The whole place is usually so busy you’re likely to find yourself pleasantly engaged with a fellow food-fiend. Outside is the farmers part of the market, where fruits and flowers,

LOCaL INfOrmaTION

If the purpose of a farmers market is to bring the country to the city, then the French-style market in Parnell ﬁts the bill to perfection. pastries, artisan breads, fresh juice, olives, cured meats, herbs, fresh fish, condiments, conserves and preserves are all on offer. Many of them are on a try-before-you-buy basis, meaning your taste buds get a warm-up before you indulge in something more substantial, like a whitebait fritter or hot gurnard sandwich. A bright, busy corner of the market is the paella stand, offering generous wedges of this Spanish delicacy to a never-ending line of customers. Californian enchiladas, prepared on the spot, provide further international flavour, a recipe from generations of one Mexican family providing the spicy top to the floury base. The content of the stalls reflects the seasons, and most of the fruits and vegetables are organic, as are the seedlings and fertiliser. This is a superb way to indulge in international sights, sounds, smells and flavours right here in our own area. 69 St George’s Bay Road, Parnell You’ll find a list of local markets on page 15 of this guide.

Helping women get dressed for success

Dress for Success is a worldwide organisation helping women prepare for interviews and look their best for the ﬁrst day on the job. Ruth Nicholson is one of hundreds of volunteers from across Auckland who help out. How to start volunteering? Ruth started volunteering for Dress for Success Auckland at the end of 2010, after finding out about it through a long-term volunteer. The next thing she knew she was on the phone to the executive manager and filling out an application form. “You can never tell where people are from,” says Ruth. “The women come from all over Auckland and are all ages.” Who can Dress for Success Auckland help? Clients are referred by registered agencies, such as Work and Income, if they meet certain criteria. First-time job hunters, or women who have been out of employment for a number of years can apply. “They need to be actively looking for work or training, and have a job interview arranged or are in the process of organising some sort of work experience,” says executive director Julie Mackey. “If their interview is successful, they get to keep their first outfit and can apply for another work-ready outfit. This is so they have something else to wear during those first few days on the job.” Why volunteer? Ruth says at the time she started

GET SUITEd

volunteering, she was earning a good salary and wanted to give something back, particularly if it meant helping women. “I was in a really full-on, stressful job and wanted to do something different,” says Ruth. “It was just all about work.” Dress for Success Auckland kits the women out from head to toe, depending on what they need. “Some women literally come in with the clothes they’re wearing and that’s it,” Claire says. Where does the stock come from? Many businesses across Auckland donate goods and services, for example Bendon, Mod’s Hair, Rodney Wayne, Max, Overland, Farmers and The Warehouse. “We always need larger sized shoes and clothes, so it’s fantastic to have sponsors like Tall by Design clothing and Willow Shoes on board,” says Julie. “We couldn’t do it without all the amazing businesses that donate, support or provide advice and all our wonderful volunteers.” For example, national partner Esteem Jewellery gives every client that successfully gains employment the choice of gold or silver ear rings or necklace. 29

GET SUITED How do you raise funds? Dress for Success Auckland holds regular fundraising events, like the recent Suit and Salad Luncheon and the Celebrity Waiters Dinner. A huge number of companies offered support, from pilates and cosmetics companies to sports teams, lodges, confectionery and design studios. “The wardrobe at Dress for Success Auckland is modern and professional,” says Claire. Anything donated that’s not work appropriate is put aside for charity or for the annual clothing sale. A recent designer sale included clothing from Trelise Cooper, Karen Walker, Liz Mitchell, World, Annah S, Jane Daniels and Ashely Fogel – all pre-loved personal items that had been donated by individuals. What items apart from clothes do you need? “We’re always in need of good work handbags, especially ones that are still in reasonable condition,” says Claire. “Makeup essentials, like mascara and lipstick, are in constant demand. It gives the women something to keep them feeling professional in those first few weeks at their new job.” What’s your background? Being a dresser comes naturally for Ruth, whose mother was a fashion consultant and taught her about colour analysis, styling and cosmetics. “Some of our clients need help in a variety of areas, in order to be interview ready,” says Claire. “They need pointers on how to put on makeup and sometimes subtle encouragement to alter their current makeup or dress style.

“We don’t want to change them or change who they are; we just want to enhance what they already have.” As a dresser, Ruth teaches clients how to put items together, what colours work for them, what suits their body shape and what’s work appropriate. The dressers have to work with whatever clothing is in stock at the time, “so you have to be quite creative. It can be a lot of fun,” she says. It’s especially rewarding when giving women a nice work outfit lifts their spirits and gives them confidence – something the rest of us may take for granted. “A lot of them come in shy or a bit down and leave on top of the world,” says Ruth. What else does Dress for Success Auckland do? As well as the dressing service, Dress for Success Auckland operates a career centre, Breakfast Club and the networking Professional Women’s Group. The groups offer practical skills, seminars, inspirational speakers (who are sometimes previous clients), one-on-one support, CV tips, job-searching skills, mock interviews, career development, and how to stay positive and deal with rejection. What can you do to help? That pre-loved suit or work outfit you’ve been thinking of getting rid of could make the difference for someone gaining employment and feeling confident about starting a new job. There are Dress for Success Auckland drop-off points around the city, where you can donate new and used clothing, shoes, bags, unused makeup and new lingerie.

Searching for a job can be challenging, no matter how much practice you’ve had. Here are a few tips to help you along the way. PERSEVERE Small hurdles can sometimes keep you from focusing on the big picture. Your ultimate aim is to get a job, so don’t let anyone bring you down or deter you from your goal. APPLY It’s easy to talk yourself out of a job before you even apply for it if you’re not feeling 100% confident. But you never know where that one application might lead if you never submit it in the first place. PREPARE Learn something about the company you’re going to interview at. Start online – most companies have an ‘about us’ section on their website. AVAILABILITY Work around other people’s schedules for meetings and interviews and never be late. If you do get a flat tyre or the train breaks down, call ahead to let them know and ask if they would like to reschedule. PRESENTATION First impressions are very important, so give yourself plenty of time to get ready. Prepare what you’re going to wear at least one day before the interview, to ensure your outfit is clean, ironed and doesn’t need mending.

OUTFIT Dress for Success Auckland may have already helped you with an outfit, but if not: try to dress to the level of the role you’re applying for, the type of position and the company culture.

EQUALITY Remember, interviewers are just people too. Put yourself in their shoes and try to see what would make you stand out. Treat them as you would anyone else – with courtesy and respect. ENJOY Smile and try to have a good time. This might be the last thing on your mind, so if you are nervous, take a few breaths and collect your thoughts before speaking. Even if you don’t get this job, it’s good experience and you’ll learn something during the process. FOLLOW UP Sitting around waiting for a job to fall in your lap is not going to make it happen. If you want to know more about the job application process, just ask. At least it will show that you’re keen. RIGHTS There are certain things interviewers can’t ask, like whether you’re married, how old you are, if you intend to have children, your religious beliefs, political opinions or sexual orientation. If you think you have been discriminated against, contact the New Zealand Human Rights Commission: 0800 496 877 • hrc.co.nz.

Get out and about in your area

Auckland is home to hundreds of parks and walkways. Here are a few to get you started. For a complete list of parks, visit Localist.co.nz.

01 Tahuna Torea Nature Reserve

03 Mt Hobson – Remuera

Vista Crescent and West Tamaki Road, Glendowie.

Remuera Road (near Market Road), Mt Hobson Lane and Dilworth Avenue, Remuera.

02 Newmarket Park

04 Orakei Basin

This 25-hectare reserve is between Glendowie and Glen Innes, with a sand bank that extends into the Tamaki Estuary. There are three main walkways, and at low tide, you can go all the way out on the sandspit and across to Cable Beacon Point. From Sandspit lookout, you can see out over the spit and across to Musick Point, Howick. Near the beginning of the lower bush walk is an historical Maori camp, which was used during food gathering expeditions.

Since the 1920s, this area has been used as a rubbish tip, timber mill dump, athletics track, midget car racing circuit, golf driving range and soccer field with grandstands. A major landslip in 1979 destroyed one of the grandstands, some of the sports field and other facilities, after which the park lay mostly abandoned. Recent upgrades have returned the park into a usable neighbourhood area. The park is located on the west side of the Newmarket Stream gully (previously known as Slaughter House Creek), towards the bottom of Ayr Street. Ayr Street and Basset Road, Parnell.

paRkS and WaLkS

Mt Hosbon – Remuera is one of Auckland’s many volcanic cones, which erupted 20,000-30,000 years ago. On the north slope (Remuera Road side) is the daffodil War Memorial, with seating and walkways up to the top of the hill. The original Maori names for Mt Hobson are Ohinerangi – the dwelling place of Hinerangi – and later a contraction of Remu and wera, meaning the burnt hem of a garment.

Originally fully tidal, Orakei Basin was cut off from the natural tides by the construction of the railway embankment in the late 1920s. Pollutants from nearby catchments have made regular flushing necessary for the basin and Orakei Creek. As well as being home to many water-based activities, the basin now has an extensive walkway. The track parallel to the railway, across the water, is also a cycleway, and a new boardwalk over the creek links Lucerne Road to Purewa Road. Orakei Road, Lucerne Road, Purewa Road and Upland Road.

La bRUSCHETTERIa A little slice of Italy in the middle of our city

The Bruschetteria is a new style of Italian restaurant, with more of a rustic vibe. It fits perfectly at the front of Elliott Stables, with a window looking out to Elliott Street, cosy corner sofas and Italian mementos. Sean and Francesco have created a warm and friendly space, somewhere the staff know your favourite wine and will serve complimentary nibbles when they’re trying out a new recipe. The restaurant offers bruschetta, crostini, little bites, antipasti plates and Italian drinks. There are 17 bruschette on the menu, covering the different regions of Italy, from mild to spicy and something more flavourful. Like the full-bodied lombarda, which comes topped with gorgonzola cheese, bresaola (smoked beef), truffle oil, fennel seeds, and fresh New Zealand rocket and tomato. Francesco came to New Zealand in 2003, bringing generations of Italian cooking and recipes. “My grandmother cooked for the troops who came to liberate southern Italy during the First World War,” he says. “Then my grandparents moved north and started a trattoria, near Milan. We all grew up in the restaurants.” Sean adds, “It’s definitely in his blood,” and says the food at Bruschetteria is old-fashioned but with a touch of glamour. A favourite dish is the seasonal

prosciutto e fichi – fresh figs, stuffed with gorgonzola, wrapped in prosciutto and baked in the oven. “Very morish.”

SUPEr Business CaTEGOrY Advertorial SPrEadS TEmPLaTE

Francesco Arini and Sean Aitkenhead run the gorgeous little Bruschetteria, an authentic Italian eatery in Elliott Stables. Perfect for a friendly Chianti or pre-theatre bite.

Just about everything in the bruschetteria is Italian. “We want to keep it as authentic as possible,” says Francesco. The artichoke hearts, eggplant rolls and other vegetables are Italian, as are the soft drinks, cocktails, meats and wines. “We like to recommend a nice Italian wine for people who normally drink New Zealand varieties,” says Sean. The Montepulciano and Chianti are always popular, as is the Prosecco sparkling white. “Something different you might not have tried is the Lambrusco,” says Sean – a velvety sparkling red. The whole Stables venue is like walking into a slice of Europe, with its cobbled floor, bolt doors and nooks and crannies filled with culinary and visual delights. And there’s a reason why Bruchetteria won Best Ambience during Auckland Restaurant Month in 2011 – it’s like being at home or at a friend’s place, where the music is complementary, there are pictures of mamma on the wall, and the staff may even know your name. bRUSCHETTERIa Elliott Stables, 39 Elliott Street auckland City • 09 365 1173 55

Piccolo pepper appetisers from Jo Seagar

Piccolo PePPers stuffed with bocconcini & wraPPed in bacon

I’ve grown these little peppers successfully from seeds bought at a local garden centre and they are also available in the fresh vegetable department of good supermarkets. They come in three colours – red, yellow and orange. Allow two peppers per serving as an appetiser.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Editorial SUPER CATEGORY SPREADS TEMPLATE

Jo Seagar has brought the inspiration of her regular Italian cooking trips back to New Zealand with Italia: Simple recipes from the Italian Cook School. Jo shares her piccolo pepper recipe with us.

Slice the peppers in half lengthways, leaving a little stalk. Scoop out any seeds and membranes. Place a small piece of bocconcini in the cavity of each pepper, and wrap in a rasher of streaky bacon. Lie flat on an oven tray and bake for 12–15 minutes until the bacon is crisp. Serve warm.

Each year Jo Seagar takes a group to the small Umbrian village of Eggi, where they recreate an array of Italian dishes, under the tutelage of Mamma Fenisia Vittori. La cucina Italia (Italian cuisine) remains distinctly regional and the essence of the cooking is simplicity. Food knowledge is passed down from generation to generation. In Italia, Jo shares what she has learned during her Italian travels, along with some of Mamma’s hints and tips, teaching us that authentic doesn’t have to mean difficult. Using simple step-by-step instructions, Jo demystifies gnocchi, risotto, pizza bases and other classics of Italian cooking. Many of the recipes also feature an extra tip or suggestion, with a guide to Italian ingredients at the front of the book.

Check out our Auckland Central West book for another recipe from Italia.

Enjoy the wonders of scuba diving

Basic training PADI’s (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) Open Water Diver course in New Zealand is open to most people from the age of 10 or 12. You’ll need to answer a health questionnaire, provide a doctor’s medical examination results and pass a water skills test, demonstrating you can swim 200m and tread water for 10 minutes. The classes are a combination of theory, pool activity and open-water dives. To get to the actual diving stage, you’ll need to learn things like how pressure affects the body, how to get water out of your mask while underwater, and how to calculate diving times. The basic course costs from $400–600 and certifies you to dive to a depth of 18m. Some courses cater for people with physical disabilities - check with your local dive shop for more information. What to wear? Most courses offer dive gear as part of the course fee or as an additional hireage charge. You can use your own gear if you prefer, particularly more personal items like snorkels. While it is more comfortable to learn in your own gear, you may not know what suits you until you’ve experienced diving.

So it might not be wise to completely kit yourself out before you begin. For example, translucent masks are available for people that find they feel closed in wearing a traditional mask.

SUPEr Editorial CaTEGOrY SPrEadS TEmPLaTE

Recreational scuba diving is a popular and highly rewarding sport. To get started, you’ll need to master a basic scuba diving course and gain some crucial skills. Here’s how to go about it.

Wetsuits, fins, snorkels, gloves, catch bags, diving knives and everything else come in a wide variety of styles and prices. Discuss options with your local dive shop and find out what would be best for you, depending on your budget. What next? Once you’ve obtained your open-water diving certificate, there are plenty of specialised areas to move into. PADI courses are available in wreck diving, night diving, underwater naturalism, cave diving, photography and video, deep diving, navigation, rescue diving and more. If you are really keen, there are also professional options available, from commercial diving to scientific and military diving. Check with your local dive shop for more information or go to the PADI website: padi.com. Check our website for dive stores and certiﬁed diving instructors in your area: Localist.co.nz. 107

TakE TO THE SkIES

Here’s all you need to know about learning to ﬂy

What you need

Lesson plan

All you need is to be at least 16 years old and pass a medical test. To learn to fly a microlight, it’s even easier – you just need to meet the same criteria as for gaining a driver’s licence. No theoretical knowledge is needed before the first flight, but you will need to learn theory as you go. And make sure you check out all the costs first – it can be quite expensive by the time you finish.

Lessons are available full-time or on a casual basis, but you need to be a member of a flying club before you start. Lessons cover skills including taxiing, pre-flight inspection, and straight and level flight. To obtain your private pilot’s license, you need to complete at least 20 solo hours of flying and pass five written exams, “which are not onerous,” according to Trevor.

Practice run

Chopper training

If you’re not completely sure about committing to lessons, trial flights are available. An instructor will give you the opportunity to fly the plane yourself for a few minutes. North Shore Aero School offer trial flights for anything from 25 minutes to an hour (prices range from $99 to $250).

Helicopter pilot licence courses are available at North Shore and Ardmore airfields. North Shore Helicopter Training offers courses and introductory flights ($250 for 30 minutes, $500 for 60 minutes). Students need to be aged 17 and over and pass a medical examination. To obtain the licence, you need to pass a number of written exams and have at least 50 hours flight experience. The cost is around $545 an hour.

The next step Obtaining a private pilot’s licence means you can fly others in the plane and is the first step to becoming a commercial pilot. Trevor Dance from North Shore Aero Club says it takes 12 hours to learn to fly solo, 55 to get a private licence, and 100+ for a commercial licence. The cost of lessons depends on the aircraft. Microlight lessons start at $160 an hour, or for a single engine aircraft it’s around $400 an hour.

SUPEr Editorial CaTEGOrY SPrEadS TEmPLaTE

Make your piloting dreams come true. Flying lessons are offered at many small airports around Auckland, and you can take as long as you want to get your wings. Here’s all you need to know about learning to ﬂy.

best face forward

Natural beauty care can help you look your best

Behind the mask Facial masks are a lovely way to keep your skin looking great. Rather than shelling out on an expensive mask, you can make your own from readily available ingredients. Natural yoghurt mixed with runny honey (1 tablespoon each) makes a lovely cooling mask (perfect for sunburn). Simply mix the two together, apply to the face, and leave for 15 minutes. Remove with a warm, moist flannel. Clay is also great for your skin. French green clay is available in pottles from health stores and is reasonably priced. Rotorua mud is also wonderful for your skin – it’s available at pharmacies and health stores. Just wet the face, apply and leave to dry. Wash off with warm water after 15 minutes – your skin will feel amazing. Eye eye Clear, sparkling eyes are a sign that all’s well in your body. But sometimes stress, age, weather and daily life can take that sparkle away. Puffiness and dark circles are common eye complaints. Fortunately there are a number of very effective natural ways to treat these problems. Teabags and cucumbers have been used to treat eyes for years, and for

good reason – they work. A slice of cucumber, or cool, wet teabags are great for reducing puffiness; a slice of potato also works well.

Editorial SUPER CATEGORY SPREADS TEMPLATE

There are few things more alluring than fresh, healthy, glowing skin. And while many of us spend lots of money on products to help achieve this, there are natural remedies that do the job for a fraction of the price.

Rose water is a natural coolant, and can reduce dark circles under the eyes. Simply apply 2–3 drops on cotton wool and gently rub under the eyes for a few minutes. Rose water can be purchased from health stores and gourmet food shops. It smells delectable and can also be used in baking. You are what you eat A healthy diet is one of the best ways to keep looking young and vibrant. Foods that are rich in antioxidants, and those with anti-inflammatory properties, help keep your skin looking its best. Blueberries are a wonderful source of antioxidants; and are also potent anti-inflammatories. Dark leafy greens such as spinach contain carotenoids, which are great for eyes and help prevent sunlight-induced inflammation of your skin (reducing wrinkles and signs of ageing). Olive oil helps nourish the skin; it can also be used topically as a moisturiser for those with dry skin – just rub a little on your skin before bed. And asparagus contains rutin, which has been found to prevent broken capillaries.

Beauty therapy isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just for the girls these days

Facial treatments Men have different skin-care needs than women, and most spas offer a range of treatments tailored to men. East Day Spa on Albert Street offers a facial that helps draw out impurities and keep your skin looking tip-top. Isis Spa and Skin Clinic also offers men’s facial treatments, including the Adonis facial, which uses a mask and exfoliation to cleanse and nourish the skin. Wax lyrical If you’re a cyclist, body builder or just want to get rid of excess hair, waxing is a good option. Parnell Medispa offers chest, leg, back and shoulder waxes that range in price from $45 to $75.

Hotel offers a 90-minute massage and exfoliation for men (it also includes a facial cleanse). East Day spa has a 45-minute ‘bacial’ (or back facial), which includes a back mask, scalp or foot massage, exfoliation and shoulder massage. Nailing it Male manicures and pedicures help keep your feet and hands looking their best. Men’s hands can languish in a state of dry disrepair, so investing a little time and money in a hand treatment is well worth it. Nails of Parnell have basic men’s manicures for only $30 – this includes a hand massage. Skin solutions

One recent trend is the bro-zilian wax. This involves removing hair from the private parts (the male form of a Brazilian), and image conscious blokes seem to love it. Off Wax Brow Bar in Newmarket offer this service for $97 for the first session; subsequent sessions range from $77. They also offer back, chest, shoulder, leg and arm waxing.

Treatment of skin problems has come a long way in the last decade, and now there are many ways to deal with them. Acne scarring can be treated through microdermabrasion, which deeply cleanses the skin and removes dead cells. Laser Skin Technologies in Ponsonby combines this with a special skin care treatment.

Body treatments

The Skin Institute in Parnell provides treatment for sensitive and acne prone skin, and also offer treatment for pigmented skin and skin that has been damaged by the sun.

Nothing relaxes and soothes more than a massage. They can also release toxins, and help the body to work more efficiently. Chuan Spa at the Langham

STORE IT

A place for everything and everything in its place

Box it There are plastic storage boxes in a variety of sizes and shapes, some with snap-lock lids and wheels, and usually stackable. They’re ideal for storing toys, fabric, tools, clothing, rugs and duvets. The semi-opaque ones allow you to see what’s inside without having to open it. The low-lying containers are perfect for sliding out of sight under a bed, and come with handles and wheels for easy manoeuvrability. Dress it Made-to-fit wardrobes come in any size or shape, depending on the space you have. Storage Box has a wardrobe range that you can install yourself, consisting of rails, shelves and baskets, to suit your needs. They’re also good for the laundry, kitchen, office or garage. There are many other companies who can create a wardrobe solution for you, based on budget and requirements. Check out Localist.co.nz for more. Industrialise it Metal shelving units on wheels are great for bathrooms, the garage or shed. Even the most sparse looking unit can come alive by adding colourful storage boxes, different coloured towels or pot plants. Metal bin containers can be screwed to the wall, or you could try a slat of wood or rail with metal S-bends for hanging

items with hooks, like garden tools. Metal bins and shelves also come in sets with runners, which are great for the back of doors. You can buy the length you need and attach as many units as you want.

SUPEr Editorial CaTEGOrY SPrEadS TEmPLaTE

It’s easy to ﬁnd you need more storage space at home or work. There are plenty of solutions to choose from, depending on your budget and space.

Make it If you’re handy with wood and a drill, you could try making some shelving or storage cubes, or turning an unused piece of furniture into a new storage solution. For example, an old narrow shelving unit can be repainted and attached horizontally to the wall to create a serving station and storage unit for your dining area. Lock it If you’ve really got too much stuff to store, consider an off-site storage unit. There are units to fit content from one bedroom up to a whole house. You can either pack your stuff and stack it at the storage unit, or have your unit come to you. Smartbox delivers the storage box to your place then takes it to the storage facility once you’ve packed it. Most of the storage companies sell packaging kits or individual items to help, such as bubble wrap and furniture covers. You can also get boxes for specific items, such as kitchen boxes with compartments, wine inserts and wardrobe boxes.

Even though it seems there are gadgets for everything, there are some that can help keep things organised and protected, and maybe even make life a little simpler.

Surge protector plug

Wireless headphones Wireless headphones give you the freedom of not being chained to a plug or getting tangled in cords. The headphones charge from a base unit, and depending on the model, you can be anywhere from 20–100m away (in a straight line), or shorter distances through walls. Operating time will vary, but some claim they can last up to 25 hours before needing a recharge. Price range: $150 up to $500.

Electronic equipment can easily be damaged when plugged in, by power surges, lightning or overloading. A surge protector plug protects devices like plasma TVs, computers and digital cameras. They often come with data ports to protect against network or internet surges. Smaller travel plugs also have USB ports, so you can charge devices on the go. Price range: $29 for a single plug up to $160 for multi-plugs.
