Store It
A place for everything and everything in its place
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 that 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. Make it If you’re handy with wood and a drill, you could make shelving or storage cubes, or turning an unused piece of furniture into a new storage solution.
LOCaL INfOrmaTION
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. 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. Box it Plastic storage boxes come in a variety of sizes and shapes, some with snaplock lids and wheels, and are 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. Lock it If you’ve really got too much stuff to store, consider an off-site storage unit. Units can fit content from one bedroom up to a whole house. You can either pack and stack your stuff at the storage unit, or have your unit come to you. Smartbox delivers the storage box to you, then – once packed – picks it up and takes it to the storage facility. Most of the storage companies sell packaging kits and items such as bubble wrap and furniture covers. You can also get boxes for specific items, such as kitchen boxes with compartments and wardrobe boxes.

Upcycling This involves taking unwanted materials and creating something new with them. The possibilities here are endless. For example, a wine bottle planter, snow globe made from an old jar, bags and belts made from bike inner tubes and car seat belts, and works of art made from plastics washed up on the beach. Craft bombing Also called yarn bombing, this is technically a form of graffiti. It takes something sterile or everyday – like a power pole or rubbish bin – and covers it with knitting or crochet. It’s a fairly new form of graffiti art and dates from as recently as 2005 in Texas, though no one is too sure of its origins. Geek crafts As you can imagine from the title, this combines all that is geeky with all that is crafts. So if you love Doctor Who and embroidery, you can make your own embroidered Doctor cushion.

Basic car maintenance Can’t change a tyre to save your life? Then it’s about time you learned. Auckland is a great city for car drivers, but there are many people out there who don’t have the faintest idea how vehicles work. Many high schools run basic car maintenance courses in the evenings, teaching you simple things to keep your car running smoothly in between services. These include grease and oil changes, changing brake pads, troubleshooting and more. Call your local high school to check if they run similar classes. Onehunga High School has a fabulous array of courses. Check their page for more information: localist. co.nz/l/onehungahigh. Cooking Most people can churn out one or two basic dishes without too much trouble, but eating similar things can get tired quickly. Cooking is a fantastic skill to have, because it saves you entertainment costs in the long run, is enjoyable, practical, healthy and can be a group bonding experience. Sabato has one-off classes and events: localist.co.nz/l/sabato; Main Course has classes for novices through to gourmet chefs: localist.co.nz/l/pbxmcn.

Growing your own food You might not think you have green fingers, but being able to grow your own food is a wonderful skill to have. Feed Me Right has organic gardening classes that teach you practical things like how to plant in-season, how to keep your garden producing, growing herbs and even what to do with all your fresh produce: localist.co.nz/l/. You can also check with your local garden centre to see if they provide a list of local classes. Sewing Making your own clothes is much more than a practical skill; it’s something that can fulfill your creative needs and lead to a career if you choose to take it further. The Bernina Sewing Centre has classes for beginners at their Mt Eden store: localist.co.nz/l/vcokyu. If you have a relative, neighbour or friend who sews, you could arrange for some private sewing lessons with them.

Classic movie theatres around our area
ACADEMY CINEMA
CAPITOL CINEMA
The Academy Cinema in Lorne Street was brought to life around 30 years ago by Auckland cinema veterans Heather and John Hart. Auckland’s only dedicated art-house cinema, it shows films from both inside and outside the Hollywood system. The foyer area is a gentle mix of ambient tunes, chilled beer and boutique wines, along with fresh organic fair-trade coffee.
Opened in August 1923, the Capitol Picture Palace on Dominion Road is one of the earliest of suburban theatres built in Auckland in the 1920s.
“So few cinemas have the boss showing up at screenings and chatting with the customers,” says cinema operator/ manager John Davies.
It has been taken over numerous times over the years. After briefly closing down in 2008 it was reopened in 2009 as an independent movie theatre. The cinema tries to keep prices down and play more festival films than blockbusters.
How to get there It’s the easiest cinema in Auckland to get to. All main buses and trains end up in the CBD and the Academy is just a one-minute walk from the Civic Cinema. Parking is easy – Aotea Centre, Kitchener Street and Victoria Street East car parks are all within 400m of the front door. Best time to go Early in the day, park at the Kitchener Street car park before 10am, have a coffee, and join the matinee session. Or after hours, the Civic and Victoria Street car parks are both cheaper after 5pm and on the weekend. The Civic has a flat rate of $8 after 5pm and the Victoria Street car park is $2.50 per hour up to a maximum of $7.50 after 5pm.
LOCaL INfOrmaTION
Back in the heyday of going to the ‘pictures’, there were many independent theatres across Auckland. Here’s a brief look at two near the city centre.
By 1974 it was the largest suburban theatre in Auckland. The building incorporated shops on the ground floor level, including confectioners, photographers, jewellers and children’s wear.
“We get a lot of people who remember coming here in the late 1930s, watching Buck Rogers, The Wizard of Oz, etc,” says Capitol Cinema Manager James Gates. How to get there The Outer Link bus goes just round the corner, or you can catch the 267, 258, or 249 from outside the St James on Queen Street. Best time to go With the bus going right past the cinema and shopper parking behind Dominion Road, any time is good to catch a flick at the Capitol. Cheap Tuesdays are a regular.

Whatever the outcome, get ready for a voyage of discovery. It might also mean you could unearth some unsavoury skeletons in the closet.
The NZ History website has a huge list of sites to help your search. Check out their genealogy links page at nzhistory.net.nz.
Talk
Write
Talk to as many family members as you can. Check out their photographs and memorabilia. Every piece adds to the jigsaw puzzle.
The old-fashioned letter will work wonders – with the older generation especially – and is a gentle way of contacting someone you may not know.
Once you’ve established where family members fit in, start creating a family tree. This will give a visual impression and show you any missing pieces.

Do you know who your ancestors were or where they came from? Delving into your family past is a popular pastime, especially with high-profile shows like Funny Roots and Who do you think you are?
Physically go to places of family origin. Talk to people who owned the shops back in the day, retired teachers at the school or local farmers. You’ll benefit from talking to anyone with local knowledge. Lastly, be prepared to persevere. Putting your family tree together is not for the fainthearted and is a job in itself, but can be very rewarding. Helpful websites • •

Central Auckland history at a glance
Auckland is a young city on the grand scale of things. Step back in time and experience yesteryear by exploring some historic places in Central Auckland.
01The Waiheke Island Historic Village This attraction consists of the Woolshed; Champion Cottage, a Waiheke bach from the 1930s with period furniture; Kean Cottage; Godwin Cottage; Day Cottage, Waiheke’s first museum; and the Detention Cell, built in the 1940s for the old Oneroa Police Station.
02 Auckland Dockline Tram Take a trip down memory lane at Wynyard Quarter on Auckland’s dockline tramway. This vintage form of transport returned to Auckland in 2011 after more than 55 years’ absence. The tram travels around the area where the original tramway opened in 1902. The tram itself is a restored 1920s heritage machine and takes 15 minutes to circuit the area between the Viaduct Basin and Westhaven Marina.

It may seem part of the scenery now, but there was a day when you had to ferry to the Shore. The bridge opened on May 30, 1959, offering the booming Auckland population a faster alternative to access the North Shore. See the bridge from a new perspective on the 1.5-hour AJ Hackett Harbour Bridge Climb, and if you’re extra game try the bungy jump.

04 Rangitoto Island This Auckland landmark is a physical reminder of Auckland’s volcanic history. Rangitoto emerged 700 years ago in a series of volcanic explosions. The word Rangitoto means the day the blood of Tamatekapua was shed, pointing to the Ma¯ ori battle at Islington Bay around 1350. Take the ferry to the island and enjoy one of the scenic and historical walks on offer.

Auckland War Memorial Museum and MOTAT The Auckland War Memorial Museum points back to a time when Auckland was a seaport town, and life during the World Wars. The Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) shows how advancements in technology have shaped Auckland into the city it is today.

A local group helping young people be who they want to be
The peer-support service is run across Auckland, from Warkworth down to the Bombay Hills, and is backed up by a drop-in centre on K Road, Newton. The group survives entirely on funding from trusts, local government and donations. Executive Director Tom Hamilton says the service and its members face issues of homophobia, transphobia and biphobia, and a lack of awareness about sexuality and gender identity from people who work with youth. This can include a lack of understanding within the takat¯apui, queer and trans communities as well. “In the work environment, most young people don’t share aspects of their sexuality and gender identity with work mates, out of fear they will be treated differently,” says Tom. “The queer and trans youth Rainbow Youth has contact with have only one or two positive encounters with people day to day. Unfortunately, most interactions are negative.” As well as the drop-in service in Central Auckland, Rainbow Youth run peer support groups around the city. They supply education packs and group support to high schools, and professional development training for organisations working with young people. The main focus is to find ways
to improve diversity, so young people who are questioning sexuality or gender identity are safe and feel they belong.
SupEr Editorial CaTEGOry SprEadS TEmpLaTE
Rainbow Youth began in 1989 by a group of people wanting to offer a space for gay, lesbian, bi and trans young people that was safe and run by other youth.
“In our experience, very few young people have open cultural acceptance of their sexuality or gender identity, whether at school, home or in the workplace.” Because of that, the timing of when people feel comfortable to ‘come out’ can vary from 14 years through to after the first few years of employment or university. “The common attitude that ‘there are none of them here’, reduces the chance queer and trans youth will have access to support if needed. “It’s not because of ignorance, but more a lack of awareness that there are so many different types of people in our society,” says Tom. Rainbow Youth uses social media, like Skype and Facebook, to reach as many young people as they can, and is also trying to find cheap and cheerful methods of sourcing funding. The Rainbow Youth website carries videos, resources, links, reading lists, a glossary and more: rainbowyouth.org.nz. The drop-in centre is open weekdays, to hang out, meet new people, surf the web, check out the library of books and DVDs, and talk to staff: 281 Karangahape Road, Newton, Central Auckland.

A few spring ing drinks to get you in the mood for summer
‘Otai
Smoothies
This is a popular drink among the Tongan community and perfect for Auckland’s summer climate. You can use any kind of suitable fruit, but the most popular is the watermelon ‘otai. The drink is essentially a blend of water, coconut milk and pulped fruit, ice cubes, and optional sugar or honey. Other popular variations include pineapple and mango.
Smoothies can be made using just about any fruit or vegetable, or a mix of both. Thicken with a dollop of yoghurt, and sweeten with honey. A popular combination is banana, yoghurt, berries and honey. Keep a bag of frozen berries in the freezer for handy use. For something different and delicious, replace the yoghurt with apple juice and add spirulina.
Iced tea
Bubble tea
This is one of the easiest drinks to make at home. The basic recipe is to make tea (no milk) as per normal, then either let it cool, pour over ice, or refrigerate. You can add as much sugar as you like, to your preferred taste. Alternatively, try iced lemon tea, iced ginger tea or experiment with fruity teas (some taste better chilled than others).
A few bubble tea places have popped up around Auckland. It originated in Taiwan and is a bit like a fancy iced tea. A base of milk tea is mixed with fruit or other flavours to create the basic bubble tea. A popular variation is pearl milk tea, which contains tapioca pearls. You can also add cubes of jelly or sweet adzuki beans.
Lemonade
Lassi
Juice some lemons (you’ll need at least four), stir in some sugar, then add soda water and ice cubes. There are many different recipes out there, including some that use syrup instead of sugar, or a pinch of baking soda for the fizz. The quality of the lemons is important, so buy the best you can find, or grow your own.
Lassi is most easily described as an Indian yoghurt smoothie, made with water, plain yoghurt and a flavouring of choice. There are many variations on the same basic recipe – banana, strawberries, mango, and plain sweetened lassi with rose water and sugar. Other flavouring additions include cumin, cardamom, fresh mint or coriander, sugar, and chilli.

A few local pizza places you might like
When tomatoes were introduced to Europe in the 16th century, the people of Naples added them to dough, creating the first simple pizza as we know it today. The classic margherita pizza was created in 1889 for Queen Margherita by a Naples pizza maker. It consisted of the three colours of the new Italian flag – red from tomato, white mozzarella and fresh green basil.
The pizza here is fantastic, and the staff are super friendly, in an effortlessly genuine kind of way.” locali.st/gorgeous ARTHUR AVENUE 462 New North Road, Kingsland @crazy_cat_lady says: “Great restaurant!
Here are some local Auckand places for a slice or three of delectable pizza.

Pressure cooker Melt a knob of butter in the pressure cooker, when sizzling add a handful of onions and sweat slightly.
Purée the pressure cooked onions, and pass through a sieve. Stir in the caramelised onion, saving a bit for garnish. Enrich the soup with a little butter, and adjust the seasoning. Ladle into warm bowls, garnish with some caramelised onion and some sliced herbs. Serve with crusty bread.
Add the brandy and let it cook off the harsh alcohol bite.
The soup is rich, sweet, savoury and very moreish.
Pour in the white wine, and add about two thirds of the remaining onions.

Finding the right travel agent can make all the difference to your trip
Letting go “Normally, I’m a do-it-yourself travel planner,” says Eva. But with five countries on the agenda and no previous travel to any of them, she reluctantly handed over the reins to a travel agent. “The best part was discussing options with someone who knew what they were talking about, and suggesting places we hadn’t thought of,” Eva says of travel agent Tania Matselskaya at House of Travel. Right fit It might not always be a perfect fit, but if you find someone who understands your travel tastes, it makes the process so much easier. For example, if you’re looking for activities off the beaten track, you’ll want a travel agent who knows about options other than the main tourist hot spots. “Tania suggested that while we were in Prague we could make a quick trip to Kutná Hora,” says Eva. “The Sedlec Ossuary, or bone church, is decorated from over 40,000 human bones. It’s phenomenal.”
for certain ages, and Adventure World Travel hand picks options that are on the more adventurous side. They also offer pre-prepared packages, such as a week in India’s Golden Triangle or discovering Alaska on board a National Geographic ship. Beyond the Highway are specialists in motorhome and campervan rentals in Australia. They organise vehicles and accommodation, and offer ideas such as the best 10 Aussie beaches, the best wine roads to travel, and jaw-dropping road trips. Deals If you’re after a good deal, shop around and check packages on offer. If you’re going on a multi-stop trip, looking into a round the world package through a travel agent might be more economical than doing it yourself online. Here are some travel experts in your area: •

While you might end up buying a few drinks (OK, not completely free then), joining in a pub quiz is usually free. All you have to do is round up a few friends and head along to one of Auckland’s plentiful pub quizzes. If you are the winning team, you could end up winning a bar tab or some cash. This is good old-fashioned fun that gets your brain working too.

It can be a hard road ďŹ nding a new hair salon
To keep your hair in tip-top condition, salons recommend getting a cut every six weeks. That’s more than 80 visits over 10 years. Even if you only get a cut once a year, that’s still 10 visits. Hair horror Just about everyone has a hair salon horror story – from perms in the ‘80s to the trim that goes too far. Tania says her worst hair salon experience was spending four hours at the hair salon “getting the ginger taken out of my blonde hair” and coming out dead white. “Then my hair all broke off, because it was so dry.” There was also the lopsided bob, the fashion faux pas and the fringe that should never have been. Professional advice Tony Wilson has been cutting hair for 27 years. To avoid some of these common pitfalls, he says “don’t be afraid to bring in photos”. It’s a good starting point for the stylist to find out more about you and assess what you may or may not like. Tony also says it’s an opportunity for the stylist to take you in a direction you might not have thought of, particularly if they can gauge what you might like. However, be careful when choosing images – a lot of them are styled to look the way they are, and not
cut to look that particular way. So unless you’re competent at styling your own hair with product and a hair dryer or straightener, make sure you discuss aspects of the image with the hair stylist.
SupEr Editorial CaTEGOry SprEadS TEmpLaTE
Choosing a new hair salon can be tricky, especially if you haven’t been for a while. Localist has some tips on what to look for and how to find your new best mate.
First steps Tony suggests that “if you see someone with a cut you like, ask them where they got it. Stop people on the street.” Once you’ve found a salon, ask about each stylist’s strengths – some specialise in colour, some in cutting and others in styling. Salon etiquette You may be paying for a service but that doesn’t mean you should forget the niceties. “Baking goes a long way,” laughs Tony. “One client brings in cup cakes – gets her a discount every time.” •
• • • •
Don’t be afraid to try something new (“It’s not a limb,” says Tony, “it will grow back”). Do be on time. Don’t talk on your phone while the stylist is trying to cut your hair. Don’t be a control freak (unless that trim really is going too far). Do listen to your stylist’s recommendations on product (they genuinely care about your hair).

The lowdown on lactose
New Zealand is a country swimming in dairy products, but they don’t agree with everybody. What causes lactose intolerance? The basic cause of lactose intolerance is a deficiency of lactase in the body. Lactase is an enzyme used to break down the sugar in milk (lactose) into its two component sugars – glucose and galactose – which are easily digested by the gut. When there is a deficiency of lactase, the lactose does not get broken down. Instead, it enters the gut, where it is not fermented by bacteria, causing symptoms of lactose intolerance. What are some of the symptoms? Bloating, flatulence, diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting. Is lactose intolerance common? One study found the prevalence of lactose intolerance to be 8% in the New Zealand population. It appears to be more common among some ethnicities. Asian, African, and South American people have a much higher propensity for primary lactose intolerance – up to 100% of some Asian populations. Do lactose intolerant people need to cut it out altogether? Because primary lactose intolerance is mainly caused through an age-related
decline in lactase, some sufferers might have more lactase than others at one time. Hence, they may be able to tolerate small amounts of lactose. This is different for each individual and can change over time. Some lactose intolerant people may be able to tolerate hard cheese, as it is relatively low in lactose. Yoghurt is also sometimes better digested, as it is already fermented, and some people may be able to produce enough lactase to tolerate half a glass of milk.
SupEr Editorial CaTEGOry SprEadS TEmpLaTE
Lactose intolerance is a relatively widespread problem, and can cause a raft of health issues. Dietician Olivia Green gives us more information about this increasingly common condition.
Does eating lactose have long-term health effects for intolerant people? If you suspect you may be lactose intolerant, it is important to get a proper diagnosis. Lactose intolerance can be a symptom of coeliac disease (related to gluten intolerance) or other illnesses, so these should be ruled out, along with an allergy to cow milk. While there is no physiological damage caused by consuming lactose, the effects of regular diarrhoea or vomiting may lead to losing important nutrients and fluid in the body. This could have long-lasting effects. The major consideration for lactose intolerance is the exclusion of lactose in the diet and a lower intake of calcium. It is therefore important to use lactosefree milks and/or rice or soy milks which have calcium added, and to reach the recommended daily intakes of calcium.

There’s a type of massage for everyone
Massage has been used as a healing tool for thousands of years, and its benefits are many. But it’s easy to be confused by the array of massage styles out there, and important to know which one is best for your particular ailment. Here’s a brief overview. Swedish Swedish or classic massage is probably the most common form, and is the basis for other massage, such as deep tissue and sports massage. It is known for its relaxation benefits, and helps ease tension, increase flexibility and produce a sense of wellbeing. It has five basic movements and is a good choice for those new to massage. Deep tissue An intense type of massage, deep tissue is often used by people with sporting and muscle injuries. It focuses on the deeper layers of tissue and can be intense at times (though it should be well within the patient’s tolerance level). Rewind Sports Massage in Ponsonby offers this form of massage, as does Migun Newmarket.

A massage could be just the thing if you’re feeling stressed or sore. But how do you choose which type? Here’s an overview of the different massage styles available.
Ayurvedic Originating in India, ayurveda is a traditional Hindu medicinal practice. Ayurvedic massage is designed to improve the flow of energy through the body. It is also used to release toxins and relax the patient, and often uses Indian herbs and oils in the treatment. Spa Ayurda in Ponsonby offers this type of massage, as well as other ayurvedic treatments. Shiatsu A Japanese form of massage, Shiatsu (which means finger pressure) involves the practitioner applying finger and palm pressure to the patient to relieve pain, and help reduce anxiety and depression. Shiatsu experts claim to be able to sense and redirect energy flows in the body, and the practice incorporates some of the principles of acupuncture.
Hot stone Most commonly found in day spas, hot stone massage utilises warmedup stones to apply pressure to certain areas of the body. The stones are usually basalt, and the heat from the

Central Auckland offers something for all budgets
We’ve put together a guide of some interesting, quirky and boutique shopping areas in Auckland to suit any budget. On a shoestring Onehunga is a great spot to search for items that won’t break the bank. Explore the cultural stores, pick up nick-nacs at the Salvation Army shop, or other items you can’t find elsewhere in the city. If you want to get creative, make your own fashion or household accessories with fabric from somewhere like Antique Fabric & Lace. You’ll find everything from sequins to fake fur and velvet, satin and other fabrics. Dress-Smart is the place to go to get your hands on clothing and accessories from both mainstream and boutique stores that are at least 30% off the retail rate. Second-hand shops around the city offer the perfect haven to seek out pre-loved items. Hospice stores and Salvation Army Family Stores around the city have low-priced recycled clothing, furniture, household goods, toys and books. Treat yourself Ponsonby offers a mix of high-end second-hand fashion stores, where you can pick up designer items at more
affordable prices, and a mix of funky streetwear stores, a Trade Aid shop and locally made fashion and jewellery.

Boutique shopping often brings to mind expensive stores for the fashion-conscious with unlimited budgets. It can also be about picking up unique, one-off items you won’t find in mainstream shops.
The Strand Arcade, down the bottom of Queen Street, is over 100 years old, making it one of the oldest arcades in the city. There are plenty of walletfriendly boutique shops at street level, with a strong Asian influence when it comes to fashion. It’s a pleasant stroll if you’re looking for some fashion that’s left-of-field. Money doesn’t matter Newmarket has 500 fashion, lifestyle and retail stores to explore, a veritable garden of delights for designer brand fans as well as chain stores. You could easily spend a whole day here. The Chancery in the city offers the ultimate in designer and highend streetwear. Check out the beautifully presented stores, stocking everything from silk ties to Italian shoes and French lingerie, as well as luxury make-up brands. The newest area on the block, Britomart, offers cutting-edge Kiwi and international fashion, trendy gym wear, and street fashion. Designer shoes, handpicked vintage clothing stores and personal stylist options make Britomart a unique shopping destination.

Heat It up
Have a warm house all year round
The World Health Organisation recommends a minimum indoor temperature of 18°C, or ideally 21°C if there are babies or elderly people in the house. New Zealand’s average indoor temperature is 16°C. Anything below that encourages condensation and the growth of mildew. Along with inadequate ventilation, this leads to an increased risk of respiratory diseases. TYPES OF HEATERS Heat pumps Can also be used in summer for cooling. They are energy efficient, with some pumps producing up to five kilowatts of heat per kilowatt of electricity used. Underfloor heating Either piped hot water or electric. Heat is distributed evenly and doesn’t create a draught. Tends to be expensive to run. Central heating Either uses water radiators or distributes heated air via vents. Heats the entire house, but can be more expensive to run. Gas heaters Are portable or installed. Flued heaters remove gas by-products and circulate hot air more efficiently. Gas heaters without ventilation produce one litre of moisture per hour they are in use.
Woodburners and fireplaces Open fires are inefficient heaters, as a large amount of the heat goes up the chimney. Flues can be used to channel heat to other parts of the house.

Keeping your home warm and dry is essential for you and your family’s health. But which heating option is best? Find out more.
Wood pellet burners Like traditional fireplaces, but burn pellets made from wood shavings and sawdust. They are more energy efficient than traditional fires and produce less emissions. Ventilation and insulation People produce moisture through cooking, showers and drying clothes. Each person produces one litre of moisture a day just by breathing. So make sure your house is ventilated as well as heated. Inadequate insulation allows heat to escape. Funding is available for insulation and water heating. Visit energywise.govt.nz for application criteria or find out more at eeca.govt.nz/node/3107. Energy Star products are more efficient, meaning they cost less to run. A list of products and estimated running costs is available at eeca.govt.nz/products. See our article on page ---.

SHoppInG Gluten-free
Tips on how to shop for gluten-free products
For gluten-free vegetarians, finding things to eat at restaurants can be nigh on impossible. When Jo first started on her gluten-free journey, it all seemed so overwhelming and hard. Finding foods at the supermarket was almost impossible, and she almost gave up on eating tasty food ever again. Fortunately, supermarkets have got with the programme, and now stock a range of yummy gluten-free treats. Supermarket shopping Most supermarkets these days have dedicated gluten-free sections. Some have a whole bread rack packed with gluten-free goodies. Vogels and Earnest Adams both offer gluten-free (GF) ranges, and they are delicious. GF products are a bit pricey, so you’ll probably not be eating a lot of bread every day, but Vogels GF bread toasted with avocado, salt and pepper is a treat not to be missed. West Auckland-based company Venerdi stock their GF products through New World, Pak’nSave and organic shops. Some stores only stock basic lines, so if there is a product you would like, let the store know so they can stock it for you. (Venerdi also supplies Hell Pizza with GF pizza bases and GF buns for Burger Fuel.)
Specialty stores The Gluten Free Grocer on Mt Eden Road is Auckland’s only dedicated GF store and is well worth a visit. Alternatively, health stores all stock a wide range of GF food, from pizza bases to baps.
SupEr Editorial CaTEGOry SprEadS TEmpLaTE
Looking for gluten-free foods is now far easier. If you’re just starting off, here are some tips that may help make your life a little easier.
Get smart Gluten is only present in wheat and grains, so don’t be fooled into spending your money on GF products that would never contain wheat or grain anyway, e.g. sweets, chocolate, etc. Some products may state they are “gluten free” on the packaging, even though they would never contain gluten normally. Cook the books With the right cook books, creating great GF recipes will take away the hassle of what to make. Head to your nearest book shop or library, and browse for GF cook books. You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve with GF ingredients. If you think you may be gluten intolerant, visit your local dietitian. Search for cafes and restaurants that offer gluten-free options: Localist.co.nz.

Dress up your desk with a potted plant
Peace lilies
Cacti
This elegant lily is a common site on office desks. Its popularity stems from the plant’s easygoing nature - it’s tolerant of typical office conditions (low humidity, air conditioning, fluorescent lights). They only need to be watered once or twice a week and can be left up to two weeks without water over holidays. They produce beautiful white flowers with minimal care.
Contrary to common belief, cacti do not need full sun to thrive and are perfectly content with fluorescent office lighting. They have a very shallow root system, so can be kept in a small pot and won’t take up much space. Although you should aim to water them once a week, most cacti can survive up to a month in the office over holidays without water.
Devil’s ivy
These East African beauties come in a variety of colours. They are compact and neat, making them ideal for a small, crowded desk. African violets do well under fluorescent light, but aren’t suitable for offices that don’t switch lights off overnight – they need at least eight hours of darkness a night to produce flowers. Water from the bottom up by keeping the pot in a water-filled bowl or tray.
This plant has a dangerous sounding name and doesn’t have any conspicuous flowers, so it’s a great way to oxygenate your surroundings without being too frilly. It can tolerate low light and dry air, and only needs to be watered about twice a week. It has long trailing vines with marbled leaves, making it a great plant to keep on top of a filing cabinet or bookshelf. Bromeliads Add some colour to your work area with one of these vibrant South American jungle plants. Bromeliads grow on rainforest tree branches, so they prefer fluorescent office lights over natural direct sunlight. This plant needs a little more care than others on this list – it prefers frequent watering. Fill up the “urn” (the rosette of stiff leaves at the plant’s centre), changing the water about once a month.
SupEr Editorial CaTEGOry SprEadS TEmpLaTE
Greenery in the office can make all the difference to an environment people spend a lot of time in. Here are some great low maintenance plants that thrive in an office environment.
African violets
Cyclamen Cyclamen are short-lived flowering plants, which produce stunning blooms in pink or white. They last about a month and provide an instant splash of colour and fragrance. Like African violets, they prefer to be watered from the bottom up. Cyclamen have a fast turnover of leaves and flowers, so you’ll need to regularly pick off any dead or dying bits to avoid a mess in your work area.

A quick and easy guide to making sense of energy ratings
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority is an organisation set up by the Government to promote energy efficient practices. They provide information and support to individuals and organisations who want to manage their energy use effectively. They also provide efficiency guidelines and rules for manufactures. MEPS (minimum energy performance standards) MEPS are standards that certain appliances much reach before they are sold to the public. All dishwashers, dryers, fridges, washing machines and other appliances are tested before sale to ensure they meet the minimum energy performance requirements. The performance standard is indicated by a label on the product that appears at point of sale. You have probably seen the stickers – they have an arch with five stars. The better the energy efficiency, the higher the star rating. If you are choosing between appliances with star ratings, make sure you compare models that have the same specifications. For example, if you are choosing between a number of twodoor fridge-freezers, the one with the higher star rating will be more efficient and cheaper to run.
Energy Star The top 25% of energy efficient appliances in any given field are awarded an Energy Star. It is a global energy mark, and applies to home and office electronic equipment. Televisions, heat pumps, computers and LED light bulbs are all eligible for Energy Stars.
SupEr Editorial CaTEGOry SprEadS TEmpLaTE
Energy efficiency – it’s quite a catch phrase in the world of appliances. But what do those energy rating stickers on the side of fridges, dishwashers and washing machines really mean? And who is in charge of the ratings?
Choosing energy efficient products will definitely save you money in the long-term, plus they are much better for the environment. Cutting costs If you’re interested in becoming more energy efficient at home or at work, have a look at your regular power bill and see if your home/business is running at, or below, average consumption. The average household uses most of their power on water heating (30%) and space heating (29%), then electronics and other electrical uses (12%), refrigeration (11%), lighting (8%), cooking (7%), down to other appliances (4%)*. If you want to cut down costs, invest in Energy Star products or investigate money saving tips online. For more information about choosing energy efficient products, talk to staff at your local appliance store. * EECA Energy End Use Database, containing data for the year ending March 2007.

It’s not just lino and carpet any more
Vinyl and linoleum Vinyl and lino are a cheaper alternative for imitating the real thing – wood slats, slate or ceramic tiling. Individual tiles are laid with separate grouting strips, to give a traditional tile effect, or you can go for larger patterned sheets. Lino is more environmentally friendly, as it’s made from linseed oil and flax seeds, whereas and vinyl is made from petroleum oil. If cared for properly, lino can last up to 50 years, vinyl up to 10. Vinyl is slightly cheaper and easier to install yourself. Tiles Stone, porcelain, marble and ceramic tiles come in a variety of sizes and are perfect for creating patterns and adding mosaic detail. They’re available in matt, semi-gloss and polished. It’s more expensive than vinyl or lino tiles, and the price of individual tiles can vary a great deal. Shop around for specials and deals. Best to hire a professional for this flooring option. Solid wood If you don’t already have wooden floorboards to polish up, they can be installed. The thickness of the wood chosen determines how many times the floor can be resanded, if it becomes worn or damaged. The floor is coated
with polyurethane or a water-based coating, and a non-yellowing UV protectant is also available. It takes longer to install than vinyl or lino, but is a good long-term option.

Sometimes called the fifth wall, floors are equally as important when decorating a room. There are plenty of options for floors, depending on budget and style of room. Here are some popular options available around your area.
Laminate Laminate is great if you want the look of natural timber at a more affordable price. It’s made from layers of wood pressed together, is hard wearing and good for heavy traffic areas. It doesn’t need sealing, so the whole process is quicker than solid wood, and can be installed by the DIY-er. Acoustic underlays are available to make the floor more insulated and noise-proof. Polished concrete Concrete flooring is either poured new, or you can patch and polish existing underfloor concrete. The top surface is ground off, exposing the stone, pebble or aggregate – this gives the pebbly look – and it is then polished or sealed. Sealing the surface with a clear coating is more cost-effective. The more hard wearing option is to add a densifier (hardens the concrete), polish the surface, then seal.

Keep those pearly whites in good shape
Dental hygiene makes sense. A little bit of prevention goes a long way. Why wait for the rot to set in, and costly repairs to the only pair of teeth you’ll ever own? The first synthetic fibre toothbrush (like we use today) was produced in the late 1930s and the electric toothbrush in Switzerland in the 1950s. These days, modern technology allows dentists increased options to treat and maintain each set of chompers. It is recommended you see a dental hygienist every six to nine months. 1. Floss your teeth at least once a day.
2.
3.
4.
5. 6.
It removes food and plaque that gets stuck in between teeth, leading to decay. Brush your teeth first, and leave the toothpaste in when you floss so the paste gets to where it’s most needed. Use a recommended electric toothbrush to stop plaque build-up and deal with problem gums. If you use a manual toothbrush, a soft brush is much better, especially for anyone with bleeding or sensitive gums. Don’t forget to scrape your tongue while you’re in the vicinity. Avoid fizzy drinks and sugary fruit juice, because they’re like poison
to teeth. But if you must, brush straight afterwards. 7. Coffee, tea and red wine badly stain teeth, so brush after use. 8. See your dental hygienist once every six to nine months for a comprehensive cleaning session. 9. Poorly maintained teeth can result in gum disease – gingivitis – and “shrunken jaw” syndrome, so watch out. 10. The more you visit your dental hygienist, the less uncomfortable your sessions will be, and the less time you’ll need in the dentist’s chair.

Tips to help you get a great price for your home
Too big, wrong suburb, no room for kids, garden too small – there are many reasons why you might want to sell your home.
Remedying problem areas will make your home that much more attractive to buyers, and put you ahead of the rest.
On target
X-factor
Antonia Baker is a real estate agent and owns Herne Bay company The Property Market. “The best way to achieve the highest value for your property is to understand your target buyer and then create a property that ticks all their boxes,” she says.
Buyers are often taken through a multitude of homes, so try to make your home stand out from the crowd. Antonia says this can make all the difference when it comes to a sale.
“So if your target is a young couple starting a family, make sure the property is insulated, that the main living area is well oriented for the sun, it has off street parking so it’s easy to off-load shopping and kids, that there’s at least one child’s bedroom near the master bedroom (preferably two) and that the bathroom has a bath as well as a shower.” Check list Buyers are very pickyv and will use any flaw in your home to drive the price down. It’s a good idea to hire a property inspector to help locate any issues in the house. You may have a leaky roof, electrical issues or other problems you didn’t know about. Locating problems before you put your house on the market means you won’t get caught short by a pre-purchase inspection.

Once you’ve made the big decision to move house, you’ll want to ensure you get the best price for your property. This useful guide will help you maximise the value of your home.
“Do at least one thing to make the property unique.” A fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference, and bring colour and life into your home. Go for a colour that’s interesting and contemporary – if your home is a little bit different buyers are bound to remember it. Ground rules Good street appeal is something most buyers look for, so make sure your front garden is spick and span. Pull out the weeds, plants some bright flowers, and make the place look inviting. Gardens can be almost as important as the house for some buyers, so give it some extra TLC before going on the market. Choose low-maintenance plants that suit Auckland’s subtropical conditions. Not everyone will want to spend time fussing over fickle plants, so be careful about the varieties you choose.

The right funeral service can make saying goodbye a little easier
First steps Funeral directors are there to assist you. They can meet you at your home or on their premises and will take you through the decision process to help create the best send off for your loved one. The director will show you what caskets are available, discuss the type of service you want and help arrange a minister or celebrant. Larger funeral directors (such as Davis Funerals) have their own chapels in which services can be held. Alternatively, they can arrange a funeral in your family church or assist with finding a less conventional location. Casket costs There are a many types of caskets available, in a range of different materials. Cardboard coffins are the cheapest, starting at about $350. Midrange coffins are usually made from MDF, sometimes with a veneer, and cost from $1000–$2000 (depending on the finish and detailing). Solid wood caskets range from $6000–$7000, and are available in a range of woods (rimu and mahogany are common). Deciding on a service Be it a traditional church services or a quiet gathering in the bush, how you farewell your loved one is up to you.
A regular church service, including coffin, transport, minister’s fee and burial, is likely to cost around $6000. The same service with cremation will be around $5000. One option that is becoming increasingly popular is the eco-funeral. Standard embalming (using formaldehyde) and some caskets can be harsh on the environment; so people are choosing the green route and opting to go natural. Davis Funerals offers ecofunerals: sustainable timbers are used for the caskets, and family members can opt for no formaldehyde to be used.

Dealing with the death of a loved one is extremely hard, but the right funeral director can help support you through this tough time. Here’s some information on what to expect when arranging a funeral.
Cremation or burial The decision whether to bury or cremate is dependent on many factors – preference, cost, beliefs. If you choose to bury your loved one, you will need to buy a plot, which range in price from $2800 to $4000 (this includes internment). As with all real estate, price will depend on location – the funeral director can tell you the options. Cremation is a much cheaper (and more popular) option, ranging in price from $400–$550. Urns to hold the ashes range in price from $100–$200. Find recommended funeral directors on Localist.co.nz. 257
