COAST began as a specialist supplier to the exclusive superyacht market and continues to employ many of the materials and methods previously the reserve of luxury yacht-building. Our design process has concentrated as much on materials and construction as on aesthetics and style, to ensure that everything we make is not only enduring, but timeless.

The award-winning Marine Bean® is the original outdoor beanbag –and still the best. Durable enough to have circumnavigated the world aboard the winning boat in the Volvo Ocean Race, yet smart enough to have been selected by Louis Vuitton for its America’s Cup hospitality bases. COAST invite you to experience their range of luxury beanbags, natural textiles, canvas luggage and leather accessories.

The perfect solution for a younger you IN NEW ZEALAND WE HAVE LAWS IN PLACE TO PROTECT ANY KIND OF PATIENT INCLUDING THOSE SEEKING COSMETIC WORK, AND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU IS A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT AND SAFER RESULTS. Dianna Morgan is a Registered Nurse with over 25 years’ experience as a healthcare professional and has worked in the Cosmetic Industry for 14 years. She has been recognised for her level of expertise by multiple leaders within the Cosmetic Industry and has a flourishing business in the heart of Remuera. Dianna shares with us “It can take a lot of courage initially for women to even book an appointment, acknowledging they aren’t happy with the way they look and/or feel. But then it’s about choosing the right person who will listen and hear what it is in fact they want. Lastly and most importantly, it’s then about will they deliver and not create a change I don’t like? And that’s where qualifications and registration are the minimum benchmark in New Zealand.”

She takes her profession very seriously staying abreast of all the latest techniques and products to ensure she can offer the right product and procedure for every customer that comes through her door. She elaborates for us “It’s not about having a preferred supplier or only using a trend-based product, as some products actually don’t work on some clients and some won’t last due to the clients make up or metabolism, so It’s vital to understand as many different types of skin, ethnicities and products available, to give the best, long-lasting results to each customer.” Dianna’s career has involved working with Allergan where she learnt her injecting techniques from multiple, internationally renowned injectors for over 6 years. During this time Dianna was also teaching Doctors and Nurses the art of injecting BOTOX® and dermal fillers. Dianna also travels the world and in Singapore recently she mastered the anatomy and safe practices around Asian skin and aesthetics. Dianna later founded Cosmetic Solutions expanding her reputation in Auckland as one of the best appearance medicine nurses in the industry and continues to pursue further experience and education in the latest Cosmetic Appearance techniques available. She was the first from New Zealand to complete a course at the prestigious Esteem Institute of Cosmetic Appearance in the Gold Coast, Australia. Cosmetic Solutions based in Remuera, provide New Zealanders with some of the most up to date nonsurgical procedures in the appearance medicine industry. Dianna prides herself on empowering clients with knowledge about any treatments before proceeding with them. So, for a free and thorough consultation to address your needs, contact Cosmetic Solutions. They are passionate about obtaining natural, undetectable results and are dedicated to offering the very best service and outcomes.

The new-look Country Clubs THE ONLY THING CLOSE TO AN ‘ALL-AMERICAN’ COUNTRY CLUB IN NEW ZEALAND WAS THE LOCAL TENNIS CLUB AND IF I ASKED YOU IF YOU WANTED TO HANG OUT WITH A WHOLE LOT OF GYM BUNNIES AT A SOCIAL EVENT, I’M SURE MOST OF YOU WOULD HAVE SAID NO. But fitness, personal health and well-being, has taken a massive left turn and an even more gigantic leap forward thanks to NextGen Clubs. With health issues on the rise, obesity issues on the rise, stress levels on the rise and many seeking alternative diet options such as vegan, keto and fasting and when you don’t have time to work out but need to look after yourself, or do in-fact have serious fitness goals, there is a new player in town! Based on the uber-successful model of lifestyle clubs in the UK, David Lloyd and his son (the next generation of lifestyle club owner) brought the concept into the latest trends and expertise and launched it into Australia and now in New Zealand. Think of NextGen Clubs like a one stop shop for someone who wants a holistic approach to well-being both inside and out. With a variety of activities available, 12 tennis courts, six pools, a fully remodelled ergonomic gym and state of the art spin rooms, they have personal trainers (P.T) on hand to assist you or fully engage to write personalised programs according to your fitness or weight loss goals.

The club is family orientated with programmes not only for all fitness levels but for both the young and the more mature, so mum could be in a spin class, while dad’s in the gym and the kids are in the pool or perhaps in one of the new classes recently added for teenagers, which focus on educating them on how to look after their body, mind and soul. Invaluable information is available about nutrition, calories, stress and anxiety, strength and muscle building. Created by the Gym Manager Sam, who works with all ages, but is currently focused on youth fitness, these new programmes have been a runaway success and a wonderful balance to today’s media focus on unhealthy body images. They also have holiday programmes which are perfect for keeping the kids active during their holidays and which also give the parents a constructive activity to engage the kids in. Also coinciding with the school holidays, is their ever-popular 8-week body transformation programmes. Four times a year breaking for the holidays, there is a 360 programme that encompasses supervised training, nutrition plans, mind-work and meditation. This is NOT bootcamp! This is for those who know they need to change where they are at and is tailored to each person’s unique physical fitness and limitations.

155 3

LIFESTYLE ?

And for those with severe limitations, NextGen also has rehabilitation programmes for those post injuries or those fighting cancer or those living with physical, medical or mental disabilities. They offer programmes that help those who need stress management and those with anxiety issues, and those who need hormone or cortisol balancing. For every walk of life and every unique individual, they will tailor-make a life plan to help you be the healthier and happier version of you. What’s more is that they have a full service café & bar, so you’re able to grab a snack on the go. Pricing really depends on how many services you want to use or activities you want to engage in and they really prefer you come in so they can take you on a tour and get to know you. This means you get to see how real and down to earth this lifestyle club is and how far from a stereotypical gym they are, and from there they can learn about what it is you need to connect to a healthier you.

4156

Whether that’s to manage your busy life, get more active, eat better, de-stress or be a part of a social scene that’s positive and inclusive. They have a really fun club night once a week with an open invitation allowing you to mix with other members and let your hair down with a glass of wine! Wine you say? Yes, they believe everything in moderation, including even going to the gym. So, if gyms have been intimidating or you know you need to turn over a new leaf and don’t know where to start or perhaps you want a healthy activity that the whole family can enjoy, check out NextGen Clubs. Located in the Auckland Domain. All the staff are super lovely and highly experienced in many different fields, to be able to help you in what ever capacity you need to feel more connected to your well-being.

Seven years after opening their first store and due to popular demand, Makana opened a second Chocolate Factory in Blenheim on the famous Marlborough Wine Trail. And in 2017 a dedicated retail store opened in Newmarket, Auckland making Makana’s chocolate temptations easily accessible to everyone anywhere.

You want a great

story to tell? Well, there’s a time and a place.

It’s a place where stories pour out into glinting and clinking glasses while telling tales of mystery, drama and poetry. A place where the soul of Sinatra and the passions of Hemmingway are sown into the fabric of leather lined booths that promise sanctuary and sustenance. Where centuries-old traditions mix with urban chic, a portal to the mist shrouded highlands of Scotland, the hidden backwaters of Tennessee and even the pulsating neon lights of Tokyo. It’s sultry savoir-faire in every bottle, with another round of glittering moments to help you make sense of a world that sometimes needs more sense made of it. Yeah, it’s a place where life gets a little richer, more textured, more cultured. As for the time? See you from 4:00pm ‘til late. Very late. Whisky stories start at The Jefferson.

KITCHEN DESIGN TIPS •

•

Begin by creating a scrapbook of ideas. It’s also a good idea to add some of the things you don’t like so you have a clear, big picture idea If you’re planning to hire a designer, make sure you engage one that has the right qualifications. Also check that their design style fits with what you are looking for Don’t get too hung up on the refrigerator, sink and stove design triangle. This layout is now outdated thinking and we tend to design more in zones Silent rangehoods are becoming more popular in the modern home. They are perfect for every home cook and allow you to prepare meals in peace without having to worry about the noise. The kitchen is now the heart of many homes and has become more multi-functional. Take this into consideration when designing your kitchen

•

Remember to consider your lifestyle and the type of cooking and food you like, as this has a big impact on the design of your kitchen

KITCHEN DESIGN PREDICTIONS • • •

We will start to see the rise of the smart kitchen, where we can control more appliances from our phones Commercial cooking methods will be more widely used in the residential kitchen The industrial-style kitchen will have more subtle changes, making it more refined
