GardenInG calendar What to do in your edible garden
May •
20
Sow seeds of beetroot, broccoli, broad beans, cabbage, carrots, onions, radish, spinach, swedes & turnips directly into your garden bed.
•
As leeks grow, pile up the soil around the stems to provide support & keep the stem white.
•
If your vege patch won’t be used over winter, consider sowing blue lupin or mustard seed – an easy way to add nutrients & improve soil structure.
•
Plant potatoes in a frostfree area. A planter will allow you to grow them in a warm sheltered area of the garden or patio.
•
Plant shallot & garlic bulbs.
•
Plant first strawberries. Well-established plants will fruit earlier & for longer.
•
Feed citrus trees with citrus fertiliser, for foliage colour & good health.
•
Mulch vegetables & fruit trees with compost.
•
Cut back asparagus to within 15cm of ground level after the stems turn yellow.
June •
Plant new fruit trees – citrus, apple, pear, plum, peach & nectarine.
•
Prune trees that have finished fruiting. Cut stems back to a healthy growing bud & seal the cuts on larger stems to protect against disease.
•
Keep secateurs & loppers clean with white spirits or meths. This will prevent the transfer of diseases. Keep cutting tools sharp for neater cuts & to prevent any diseases growing.
•
Spray deciduous fruit trees with a fungicide to protect from pests & diseases.
•
Sow seeds of spinach, silver beet, peas, onions, lettuce, & in warmer climates broad beans.
•
Plant seedlings of cabbage, cauliflower & broccoli with plant food.
•
Protect winter vegetables with fungicide.
•
Plant asparagus crowns. For best results plant in well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
•
Plant early potatoes in warmer areas.
•
Plant garlic & shallots.
July •
Sow seeds of veges like broccoli, cabbage, broad beans, onions, spinach & silverbeet in seed trays in a warm spot.
•
Using a cloche (plastic tunnel or dome) on seedlings will allow you to plant earlier & encourages growth.
•
Spray winter vegetables with a copper oxychloride product every 14 days to prevent fungus diseases & bacterial blight spots.
•
Plant potatoes in a large plastic pot or planter in a warm & sheltered position when the sprouts on the seed potatoes are about 2–4cm long.
•
Plant garlic & shallot bulbs, & asparagus crowns. For best results, plant in well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
•
Now is the time to plant strawberries. Add a clean layer of pea straw mulch to deter pests & to keep the berries off the dirt.
•
To control sooty mould, mites, aphids & white fly, spray with a bug oil spray. The oil will smother the pests & their eggs to protect your plants, & it is a low-toxic option.
•
•
Prepare the garden for spring planting by digging in compost. Add lime to improve soil structure.
SepteMber •
Complete your vege garden preparation by digging in compost.
•
Sow seeds of carrot, beetroot, silver beet & peas directly into garden. Sow lettuce, leek, cabbage, tomato, capsicum, courgette, cucumber & eggplant into trays of seed mix.

Prune passionfruit vines & feijoas to encourage new growth & fruiting.
•
•
Plant new season herb plants directly into garden or in pots.
•
Fertilise fruit trees. Spread evenly over root zone & water in well. Keep fertiliser away from the trunk to prevent damaging the stem.

october •
Once the danger of frosts is over, sow seeds of tender veges directly into garden.
•
Transplant vege seedlings from trays into garden. Prepare soil by digging in compost & fertiliser.
•

a Shore act
Anna Hutchison shares her Auckland with us
Where did you grow up? I grew up in Bayswater and then Devonport. We lived on the water in Bayswater. It was fun to hang out with dad when he came home from work. He would teach us to fish. Our house in Devonport was fantastic, as there were lots of kids our age in the same street. We would play on our bikes, or up trees or by the beach. It felt very safe. What do you remember the most about growing up in Auckland?
well as Takapuna Aquatic Centre, which is excellent. In my spare time I read a lot, have barbecues, walk our puppy, swim, and plan exciting new adventures. For stores, Little and Friday has delicious goodies and friendly service. And Tash at Stephen Marr is the most amazing hair colourist. How much of an influence has Auckland been to your career?
Lots of beach time. We would always be doing something that involved swimming or being at the beach.
Auckland has so many different elements to it, which is great as an actor, because you can draw on so many different aspects when creating a character.
Do you still live on the Shore?
Best thing about the North Shore?
I live in Takapuna. I love the Shore. I think the people who live here are so friendly and really contribute to the lovely place we live.
The people. Everyone seems so friendly and warm, which makes it feel like a great community to be part of.
I love Cheltenham. My brother, sister, cousins and I would always play there when we were younger. Even now, when the tide is in, it’s nice for swimming. Takapuna beach is great for walking our puppy. There are so many wonderfully friendly dog owners around.

Check out your local Citizens Advice Bureau
Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) first started in New Zealand in 1970. There are now nearly 30 centres across Auckland. Branch manager Margaret Antunovich, says CAB aims to ensure individuals do not suffer through ignorance of their rights, responsibilities or available services; or through an inability to express their needs effectively. At your service CAB is staffed by trained volunteers, who can access the necessary information through a database that links with over 40,000 service providers. It’s primarily a drop-in service, though appointments are needed for lawyers and other specialised help and advice. People’s needs are assessed through private interviews. “Our interviewers can advise on tenancy, employment, money issues, finance and budgeting,” says Margaret. “CAB is also the first port of call for consumers who are concerned about their rights. A point of contact Email, text, Twitter, Facebook – they’re all useful tools, but they can also exacerbate the loneliness of isolated individuals.

Your local Citizens Advice Bureau is there to help. especially for people with language or other difficulties. There is also Language Link, a translation service, which people can use simply by pointing to their country of origin on a map. The CAB volunteer will then call someone to translate for them in their chosen language. Legal matters Consulting a lawyer can sometimes be an expensive and somewhat intimidating process. CAB provides access to lawyers who volunteer free consultations for people with legal difficulties. There is also the Legal Ear service – a phone-based legal consultation – and there are regular clinics with Justices of the Peace.

LOCAL INfOrmATION
For 20 years, South Seas Film and Television School has been training people for the film and TV business, in the back blocks of Glenfield. What does South Seas do? South Seas Film and Television School provides hands-on industry-related practical training. The four main NZQA-registered diploma courses are offered in film and TV, on-screen acting, animation, and photography. Short introductory courses and industrytargeted workshops are also available. The school’s facilities and equipment aim to replicate a real working environment, from the makeup room and sets warehouse to the voice-over booth and equipment rooms. “All our equipment is industry standard, including the cameras, lighting, sound studio, control room equipment, editing suites and software,” says owner Gerben Cath. How did South Seas start? Gerben and Nerida were running their production company, Arcadian Films, from the studio they built in Ellice Road when they were repeatedly asked to train people. “Running a production company doesn’t give you much time to do anything else,” says Gerben. “But we knew that if people were asking for training, they must be as passionate as we are about film and TV. We didn’t want to discourage them.”

Our local area has a lot going on behind the scenes How has South Seas grown? The first film and TV course ran in 1992 from Unit 3, 75 Ellice Road, with three staff and 32 students. The number of students per year now numbers around 180 and there are over 32 tutors and staff. Still at Ellice Road, the South Seas complex now covers almost 4000 square metres. The latest addition is an animation and photography building, which houses a photography studio, classrooms, life-drawing room and animation workshops. What makes South Seas different? The diplomas at South Seas are one year long (apart from the two-year animation course), and Gerben says they intend to keep them that way. “Students often don’t want to take a three-year course, particularly because many roles in the industry do not require that much training.” The course is intensive and demanding, Gerben says. “Students have to learn a great deal in order to be confident enough to work in the industry.” What can a student expect from film school? “A job!” laughs Gerben. “We’re averaging over 90% employment from our graduates.” It’s difficult to achieve 100%, as some graduates either change their mind about being in the industry or move overseas. “Recently two students were snapped up by a local animation production company before they had even graduated.” Their internship was integrated with their course so they could continue their studies while starting their industry careers.
What does the film and TV diploma involve?
LOCAL INfOrmATION
FROM SCREEN TO SCREEN
During term 1 of the film and TV course, students are introduced to aspects of the industry, such as directing; camera operating; lighting; audio recording; post production; script writing; onscreen acting; presenting; and art department, which includes sets, costumes and makeup. For the remainder of the course, students specialise in one selected specialist skill. They also spend two weeks on location with a professional crew. “This gives them access to working on a live set, with an experienced crew,” says Marketing Manager Lauren Clarke. “Up until then, students have been working in their student teams with tutors, all of whom are industry experienced.” The overall aim is for students to produce, shoot and edit their own project. What does being a local business mean to you? “Watching our students go on to achieve career success is very rewarding,” Gerben says. “I love this industry, and if we can pass that enthusiasm on to others, as well as preparing them for a job, that’s a wonderful thing.” Gerben also says the school attracts many students from overseas, “which contributes to New Zealand’s industry reputation internationally.” South Seas graduates have worked on a range of international films and television programmes, including Avatar, the Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings, The Lovely Bones, Hercules, and Once Were Warriors.

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

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. 43

Helping women get dressed for success 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.

Job huntInG tIpS
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.

electronIc retIreMent What to do when television goes digital
What’s happening? Starting at the end of 2012, television will be switched from analogue to digital. If you don’t have either a digital television, Sky TV or a TelstraClear T-Box, you’re probably receiving analogue. After the switchover, you will eventually no longer have access to free-to-air television programming, as everything will be digital. A good way to tell if you’ll need to do anything for the switchover is if you can currently watch Freeview. Freeview free-to-air television that’s currently transmitted in digital. So if you’re getting that now, you’re already digital.
which will hopefully lead to faster and cheaper mobile broadband services. What about my old TV? It is estimated there will be an increase in the number of CRT televisions discarded during the switchover. Recycling responsibly will reduce the number of televisions that end up in landfill and will remove harmful components from the environment, like lead. RCN and the Community Recycling Network are increasing the number of e-waste depots across the country to recycle TVs and computers. Find out more on the websites below.
What will I need?
Recycling solutions
To watch free-to-air TV after the switch, you’ll need to do one of the following: purchase a digital TV or a set-top box*; or sign up to Sky TV or TelstraClear’s T-Box. There are benefits and different costs for each option. Find out more at goingdigital.co.nz.
Working computers: donate to charities or visit DonateNZ.co.nz
* A set-top box is a small box you connect to your television that receives the digital signal and converts it to your analogue television.

The number of CRT (cathode ray tube) televisions put out of service is expected to rise when free-to-air television is switched to digital. This will increase the amount of e-waste. Here’s what you should know.

rework yourSelf Tips on updating your CV
Think of a CV as your PR material or marketing brief. It’s a concise description and round-up of all your work experience. Its aim is to interest the reader, give just the right information they require and entice them to want to know more. Keep it brief A CV should be no more than two separate pages when printed, or up to four sides of text. Keep the font clean and simple. A floury or gimmicky font may say things about you that you hadn’t intended. Use black font throughout for the body of the text and no smaller than 10 point. Make it obvious Put your name, address and phone number at the top of the first page and your name on every separate page. If someone prints out your CV and gets the pages mixed up, they need to know where the pages belong. Regular Keep your CV updated regularly, even when you’re not planning to use it. That way you can note down any accomplishments or role descriptions before you forget. Add in any training or extra work experience you’ve accumulated. Keep a note of any

rehab ServIcInG ltd
Get your motor running
George Drew started Rehab Servicing with George’s father, George Snr, in 2000. The family business modifies, repairs and refurbishes motorised wheelchairs and scooters, and supplies mobility accessories, like kettle tippers, tap turners and commodes. Both Georges are highly experienced electrical technicians – George with over 17 years’ and George Snr with over 24 years’ experience. Krissie Drew manages the business from the headquarters in Henderson, and their senior fabricator, Paul McGuire, has been fabricating and modifying wheelchairs for over 30 years. This wealth of experience means they can take care of just about every aspect of rehab services, from supplying products, repairing them, replacing parts, advising on accessories and making modifications. “We love customer contact,” says Krissie. “It’s the most important aspect of our business. If we can help someone have a better quality of life, then we’ve done our job successfully.” The first point of call for enquiries is to talk to Krissie or George. They will assess your needs and budget, and advise on what type of equipment will be best. For example, a top of the line hot-rod motorised scooter might not be the most practical option if it’s only needed indoors or won’t fit under the table for dinner.
“You might just need a walker or one of our other accessories,” says George. “With our experience in this field, we can easily help figure out the best fit for you or your relative.”

Rehab Servicing has everything you need to stay mobile, keep your active lifestyle and maintain your independence.
The Rehab Servicing team offers 24hour assistance over the phone for equipment queries and emergency callouts on wheelchairs. They can respond to urgent repairs within one day and non-urgent within three working days. If the repair can’t be fixed on-site, the team transport the chair to the workshop and deliver it back once repaired. While there can sometimes be a stigma to using a motorised wheelchair or scooter, Krissie says all types of people use them. “Particularly as people get older or lose some of their mobility. A motorised chair changes their life – they get a part of their freedom back.” The HQ in Henderson houses a showroom, but Krissie and George say a home-based demonstration is best. “We determine which chair will be most appropriate and bring it out to you to try,” says George. “That way you’ll know if it will suit you and your home.” “And from there, we discuss any modifications or accessories you might want,” says Krissie. “Like mags and a turbo,” she laughs. rehab Servicing ltd 09 837 7342 • 1/62 Bruce mclaren road, Henderson

Mull It over
Time to spice up your autumn drinks menu
Mulled wine dates back as far as medieval times, when it was known as hippocras or ipocras, after the Greek physician Hippocrates. It was made from wine mixed with sugar and spices, such as cinnamon and ginger, then heated. The spices were then strained out through a Hippocratic sleeve – a bag used to filter water – and the drink was served either warm or cold. Given the availabilty and price of spices at the time, it was originally a drink for the aristocracy and nobility. A similar drink, negus, turns up in books by authors Emily Bronte, Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and is also in John Galsworthy’s The Forsyte Saga. In Germany mulled wine is known as glühwein (literally translated as ‘glow wine’) and glögg (from the word ‘heat’), or similar variations, in countries such as Sweden and Finland. Gareth Hookham, manager of The Merchant Bar & Kitchen in Albany, says mulled wine is one of his favourite drink recipes. “We like to serve it in a rocks glass [small tumbler] with a slice of orange and some nutmeg.” Here’s Gareth’s recipe for a great mulled wine.

It’s that time of year when you begin adding another layer of clothing and making hot meals for dinner. But what about the drinks? We’ve rustled up a few suggestions to get you in the mood for autumn.
peel of 1 lemon peel of 1 lime 250g caster sugar 6 whole cloves 1 cinnamon stick 3 fresh bay leaves 1 whole vanilla pod, halved 2 star anise 2 bottles of Chianti or other red wine
Mix all the ingredients together in a crock pot or large saucepan. Simmer at a very low heat for 48 hours. Serve in the glass of your choice. For something non-alcoholic, use grape juice instead of wine, or whip up a gingered milk or hot toddy. Gingered milk: heat up milk with some golden syrup, then stir in a small amount of ground ginger. Give it a whisk or put in a milk frother and serve. Hot toddy: squeeze fresh lemon juice into a cup of hot water and add honey for sweetener. Find local bars in the section following or go to Localist.co.nz.

Al Brown gets back to basics in Stoked, working with the natural flavours of food and embracing old-style cooking methods. He shares his delicious paua burger recipe with us. Paua burger with red onion, garlic, chilli, coriander & rocket Serves 6 Ingredients 6 whole paua cooking oil for frying 2 tablespoons butter 2 large red onions, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 bunch coriander, roughly chopped 2 lemons 6 burger buns mayonnaise (your favourite brand of mayo or see recipe on page 325 of Stoked) 1 bag rocket
01
Cut out the two white teeth at one end of the paua. Place the whole paua on a solid bench or chopping board. With 1 hand, place a fork through the paua to keep it in place. Using a meat tenderiser, or even a rolling pin, bash the paua half a dozen times on each side until you feel the muscle relax. Reserve.
02
Heat a frying pan or the flat-top on your barbecue to very hot. Add a little cooking oil along with the butter, followed immediately by the onions, garlic and chilli. Season with salt and pepper and fry until slightly caramelised (4–5 minutes). Remove and keep warm.
03
With the frying pan or flat-top remaining on high heat, season the whole tenderised paua then lightly oil before placing on the heat. Cook for no more than 2 minutes on either side. Remove and rest for a couple of minutes.
04
Place the onion mixture back on the heat, add the chopped coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice. Heat up the buns on the side.
05
To build the burgers, add a lick of mayonnaise to both the top and bottom of the buns. Place the bun bases on a board or similar. Place a handful of rocket on each, a paua, then top with the onions and put the lid on top. Eat now!

Stretch and StrenGth What to know about yoga
What is yoga? The word yoga comes from Sanksrit, meaning ‘to join’, and refers to the aligning of exercise, breathing and meditation. While the physical aspect of yoga is often thought of in terms of flexibility, it is actually more about strength. At its purest form, yoga is a philosophy on life, incorporating eight steps: restraint, observance, exercise, breathing, preparation for meditation, concentration, meditation and absorption.
You don’t want slouchy pants or a loose t-shirt flopping around when you’re bending over or have your feet in the air for a pose. A yoga mat is essential. It stops your feet from slipping around, so you can concentrate on the pose and breathing. Mats come in different thicknesses and a range of prices. A good mat should be flexible and grippy – your feet won’t slip on it. As long as you’ve got space for your mat, you’ll have space for a yoga session, no matter where you are.
Where to start
What should I expect?
No matter what your athletic ability or fitness level, there is bound to be a type of yoga that suits you. Popular styles are hatha – slow poses, good for beginners; iyengar – more intense, long poses; bikram – known as hot yoga, because it is practised in a warm room; ashtanga – more physical, sometimes called power yoga.
If you have never attended a yoga class, it may seem daunting. Teachers can usually tell who has never been to a class before and will give you extra help, particularly making sure poses are performed correctly.
Have a look in your local library or go online to see what type of yoga you might like. If you are going to continue by yourself at home, go to a few classes first. You’ll get feedback from the teacher and can familiarise yourself with some of the standard poses. What do I need? It’s best to wear clothes that are reasonably tight but still comfortable.
SupEr Editorial CATEGOry SprEAdS TEmpLATE
The benefits of yoga have long been documented – it can help reduce stress, tone muscles, stimulate circulation and improve your constitution. Best of all, you can fit yoga into your life whenever and wherever you are.
Remember, it shouldn’t hurt. It’s okay to feel tight in some muscles or be shaky when you’re trying to hold yourself up, as long as you’re not straining yourself. It’s surprising how quickly you’ll become stronger and more supple, which is all part of the fun – watching your own progress.

Beauty services in the comfort of your home
Best face forward
Great way to wax
Healthy, glowing skin is the foundation of a great look, and a facial can be a good way to achieve it. Lusia Rokitta from Mobile Beauty says many of her clients are self-employed or stayat-home mums, who need a little pampering but find it hard to get away from the house.
If you don’t feel particularly comfortable going in to a salon for bikini-line upkeep, you can get someone in to do it at home. For example, Beauty on Demand offers a range of waxes – from half-leg to Brazilians – ranging in price from $25 to $110.
Most mobile beauty therapists will set up your room to recreate the experience of a real day spa, like putting on relaxing music and providing fresh towels. Eternal summer Everyone likes to look tanned and terrific, so keep that summer glow going with a professional spray tan. Companies like Mobile Spray Tan and Makeup provide a quick spraytan service with their mobile tanning equipment. Nail it For great-looking nails, you really need to call in the professionals. Manicures from mobile beauty companies start from as little as $25, about the same as from your local mall. This is an ideal option if you have a special event planned but don’t have time to go to a spa.
SupEr Editorial CATEGOry SprEAdS TEmpLATE
Like the idea of a manicure at home? Want a Brazilian but feel uncomfortable going to a salon? Mobile beauty companies offer a wide range of services that can help turn your home into a day spa.
Spa-ty time Group spa sessions are a great idea for hen’s nights, birthdays, or as a nice alternative to a girls’ night. You can organise them for your home, office or special venue, and get preened and pampered together. Beauty on Demand’s ‘sparties’ group sessions offer a range of treatments, including massages, manicures, facials and spray tans. DIY Buy some nice facial products and turn your bathroom into a beauty studio. Scented candles, soft music and fresh, clean towels will help you set the mood. Cleanse your skin with a mask made from New Zealand clay and lie back and relax with some cooling cucumber on your eyes. Or you could exfoliate your whole body in a long, luxurious shower (using less water than a bath).

eat yourSelf well Keep fighting fit with fruits and vegetables
Five+ a day Five+ a day has been a healthy living mantra for years. Nutritionist Olivia Green says it’s still the optimal intake level for fruit and veges. “The current recommendations are to eat a minimum of five serves per day – two fruit and three or more vegetables. Fruit juice only counts towards one fruit serving a day, and starchy vegetables (potato, kumara, corn, yams) only count towards one vegetable serving, even if more is consumed.” One serving is about one handful, and varies according to your size. So judge for yourself what the right size is for you. Rich list All fruit and veges contain healthy vitamins and minerals, but some are richer in nutrients than others.
for their nutrients that halt carcinogens that may otherwise cause cancer and are high in vitamins C, A, and folate.”
SupEr Editorial CATEGOry SprEAdS TEmpLATE
Fruit and veges contain all the vitamins and minerals you could ask for. Forget supplements – next time you need a boost, bite into an apple or chew a tomato. You’ll get a better vitamin fix than pills can offer.
Kiwifruit, which is high in vitamin C and soluble fibre, and berries, which have loads of antioxidants and vitamins, are two top fruits for nutrition. Eat a rainbow It may sound odd, but the best thing you can do is eat a rainbow. Eating fruits and vegetables from each colour group will ensure you get the optimal nutritional value every day. Nutrients found in plants are called phytonutrients and can be indicated by colour. By eating a rainbow, you’ll maximise the benefits different fruit and veges bring.
For example, Olivia says spinach provides vitamin K for bone health, folate for healthy pregnancy, iron for energy, and antioxidant vitamins A and C. “Antioxidants mop up free radicals that might otherwise have harmful effects, such as the development of cancerous cells.”
Olivia says the white colour of garlic and onions is from allicin, an antibiotic and antifungal compound. The orange of carrots, oranges and peppers comes from carotenoids – antioxidants with health benefits such as supporting the immune system. Lycopene – which is a carotenoid in tomatoes – gives a red pigment and may help prevent many cancers.
Broccoli is part of the cruciferous vegetables group, which includes cauliflower, turnips, cabbage, bok choy and brussels sprouts. “They are known
Salads are a great way to include many colours in a meal. Shop by colour when you’re at your green grocer and you’ll have all your health bases covered.

What to consider when choosing a pet
SupEr Editorial CATEGOry SprEAdS TEmpLATE
New Zealand has one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world. If you’re thinking about bringing a new member into the family, take a moment to consider how it will fit in with your lifestyle. Space Where you live and how much space you have should largely determine what kind of animal you choose. Living in a house with a limited section won’t be good for a large dog, and, generally, living in an apartment with no outdoor option won’t be good for a cat. Time Animals need time and attention. This could include walks for dogs, cleaning fish tanks or keeping a bird clean. Some breeds of dog require more training or physical activity, and longer haired cats and dogs require grooming. Dogs can easily become bored and lonely, and cause problems, like chewing furniture or barking.
Research Read up on different animals and talk it through with the rest of your household. Ads for ‘free to a good home’ pets are tempting but can lead to a decision you may later regret.
Check with the Council for information on what is required for housing different animals: aucklandcouncil.govt.nz. Dog bylaws are changing and new rules will come into effect in October 2012. Helpful contacts: • spca.co.nz • humanesociety.org.nz
Auckland’s top dog names: 1. Bella/Belle
6. Coco
2. Max
7. Mollie
3. Jack
8. Jess/Jessie
4. Charlie
9. Toby
5. Oscar
10. Roxy
Other Auckland dog names: Riff Raff, Chew Barker, Stinky, Dangermouse, Captain Peacock, Yoda, Dizzee Rascal, Frank Lloyd Wright, Pablo Picasso, Robbie Williams, Aqua Tank, Doug the Dog.
Go to Localist.co.nz to find local pet shops, vets and other pet services.

Costs A more exotic pet may require food and other items that are not readily available. For example, bearded dragons eat grasshoppers, crickets and other insects. Animals can also develop health issues that require medication and regular vet visits. And you may want to invest in pet insurance.
Be fully prepared to care for your pet of choice. It may sound exciting to own a lizard, but are you willing to feed it crickets and worms or have them in the house?

heat It up
Have a warm house in winter
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 can lead 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 tends to be expensive to run. Gas heaters Can be 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.
SupEr Editorial CATEGOry SprEAdS TEmpLATE
Keeping your home warm and dry during winter 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. Test how healthy your home is at energywise.govt.nz/warm-healthy-home. 157

keepInG It Green Tips for gardening in small spaces
Container style
Simple pleasures
Pots, containers and raised beds are the small gardener’s best friend. They can be moved on a whim, be used to create screens, and are perfect for instant colour.
One of the keys to a successful small garden is to keep it simple. Decide on a theme and stick to it. While larger gardens can afford to have a wide range of colourful plants, clashing colours in a small space are not so easy on the eye.
Many plants thrive in pots. If you fancy some fresh fruit and veges, you can plant single pots with salad greens – rocket, lettuce, parsley or other herbs. Or you can create a pizza garden by planting tomato and basil together. They also protect each other from bugs. If you prefer a flowery display, potted plants such marigolds, daisies and pansies create a splash of instant colour. Larger shrubs, like daphne, with its delectable scent, also look great in pots. Screen stars Create a little space of your own or divide off a separate area by investing in some kind of screen. There are many on the market, ranging from trellis to bamboo, and they can double as frames for climbing plants. Trellis frames are available from hardware stores and garden centres. Pop a long planter underneath and plant up with climbing roses or bougainvillea – you’ll have all the privacy you need, plus a pretty display.

Fitting a garden into a small area is not as hard as it sounds. Whether you have limited space or just want to create a smaller garden that’s more manageable, all you need is a little imagination and some help from Localist.
Japanese and rock gardens have a striking sculptural style; and Mediterranean-themed gardens, with plants like lavender in terracotta pots, are also great for small spaces. Small trees If your garden is a little bigger, you could plant a tree. They’re great for a little bit of shade and satisfying to watch grow. Kowhai is a lovely native that grows 5-7m high, and has sunny yellow flowers. Kak ¯ a-beak, ¯ technically a shrub not a tree, is another native, with glorious red flowers that resemble a k¯ak¯a’s beak. Or you may want to introduce some seasonal shades into your garden with a Japanese maple. Shindeshojo is a good option, and grows to about 3m. Its leaves are pink in spring, green in summer and crimson in autumn. Find more gardening stories and plant stores near you at Localist.co.nz.

How to save money on petrol
You’ve probably heard it all before, but are you really doing anything about it? Here are some tips that have been found to save between 10-30% on petrol costs. The best way of reducing the amount of fuel needed for a car trip is to ensure the least resistance from your car on the road, and to make sure your car is in good running condition.
06
01
07
02
08
03
09
Remove anything that adds to external wind resistance, like roof racks, spoilers or rugby flags.
Regularly check tyre pressure. Underinflated tyres are not only dangerous but create more resistance, meaning you’ll use more petrol.
Have your car regularly serviced, according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, and use the correct engine oil.
04
Get off your butt and walk or bicycle to the shops, library or to get takeaways, instead of driving.
Gently accelerate and decelerate. Releasing and engaging the accelerator gently uses less petrol.
Keep rolling in traffic, instead of constantly breaking. This involves reading the road and traffic ahead, and not just the car in front of you.
Change gear when the car’s revs are between 2000 and 2500rpm.
10
Remove unnecessary items from the boot or on the back seats. Weight contributes to resistance.
Using the air conditioning at higher speeds is fine, but turn it off around town as it increases fuel consumption at lower speeds. At higher speeds, having the windows open will increase drag.
05
other helpful info
If you’re going somewhere new, set the GPS or learn the route. Getting lost means extra driving around.

albany dental Group World class dentistry at local prices
The Rosedale Dental and Albany Mega Centre Dental clinics are equipped with the latest developments in dentistry. Both practices offer all the standard dental services, such as routine checkups, as well as emergency and surgerybased dentistry. They also provide free annual check-ups and amalgam fillings for 13–17-year-olds. If you’re a little apprehensive about going to the dentist or tend to get stressed during procedures, Gordon says one of their specialties is oral and intravenous sedation, to help you relax. All the team at Albany Dental Group keep up with continued professional development, through courses, conferences and research. Gordon is a member of the NZ Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the NZ Dental Association and attends the monthly Auckland Dental Association meetings. The newest dentist on the team, David Duncan, has practised on the North Shore for over 10 years. He says both practices focus on long-term care, preventative maintenance and education. “I’d rather not have to pick up a drill,” he says. “I’d prefer to just see you once a year for your check-up, knowing we’re keeping everything under control before any issues arise.” This means they encourage you to take a proactive approach to your oral health,
like knowing which toothbrush is best for you and how to floss.
SupEr Business CATEGOry Advertorial SprEAdS TEmpLATE
Going to the dentist can be a daunting experience, but not when you’ve got Dr Gordon Ko and the Albany Dental Group on the job.
Along with Gordon and David, there are four other dental surgeons: Jean Lee, Ruma Saini, Coreen Loke and Jenny To. Gordon says having more dentists on staff means clients don’t have to wait so long for an appointment. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, which is reflected in the low staff turnover. Gordon is always up for a laugh, evident in the evil dentist doll in the cabinet in reception. “Our top priority is making sure you’re comfortable when you’re in the dentist’s chair.” he says. Part of that is being honest and trustworthy. “For any treatment plan, we advise patients on all the options available and discuss their budget.” “We want to make sure it’s the best option for the long-term and not just a quick fix,” adds David.
