Hey neighbours,

If you're looking to secure a rental property, get ready for a competitive and expensive time.

New figures say the number of Trade Me inquiries on rentals is on the up, and with the number of available properties decreasing, significant price jumps are expected in the coming months.

Auckland's median weekly rent rose to $560 in July, while in Wellington the median weekly rent has risen 10 per cent year-on-year to $530.

Are you having a hard time finding and affording a rental property?

Make your own natural skincare

Sheryl from Mairangi Bay

So many nasties can be hidden in the products we put on our skin every day. Even those labeled 'natural' aren't always so natural...

So many nasties can be hidden in the products we put on our skin every day. Even those labeled 'natural' aren't always so natural...

And as we now know, what we put on our skin ends up in our body.

Chemicals that are commonly found in skin care products, like fragrance, phtalates and parabens can upset the delicate balance of hormones in our body and cause not so good things to happen.

So join me for a fun hands-on class Sunday 1 September 10am-12pm at my home in Mairangi Bay.

Learn about doTERRA essential oils and how easy it is to make your own super simple, natural skin care products for a fraction of the cost you would buy them at the store.

Cost is $30.

Go home with your own natural:
~face wash
~oil cleanser
~face polishing powder
~anti-aging moisturiser

Classes are small, so message or text me to book your seat ASAP.

And if you can't make it this time, message me and we can arrange another class time or gather a group of friends and I can come to you.


Learn how to live a more natural toxin-free life!
