Looking for an extra Christmas present?

This arnica cream is made by me and is completely natural. The flowers were grown in the South Island and then soaked in oil for 1 month to extract all of the arnica goodness. The oil was then blended with beeswax from our own beehives to form a lovely natural cream.

Arnica cream has many uses - primarily known to help bruising, but it is also great for any muscle or joint aches and pains, headaches, burns scars and even acne. Only 3 left - selling out fast.!!!!

Size - Glass container - 45 ml in size. $15 each
Ingredients: Arnica oil and beeswax.

Phone Sarah on 0221874490 if you are interested.

Price: $15

For most of us our biggest work break is over Christmas _ New Year. Due to this, at this time of the year we tend to do a bit more driving than usual. Visit your mechanic, you may require a Service or at least get it checked over completely.
CHECK LIST
Check all fluid levels and top up if required.
Check for worn windscreen wipers.
Check battery charging and condition.
Check all light operation.
General tyre check for wear, inflation and alignment. Also check spare tyre.
Check drive belts, plugs, hoses and connections.
Check suspension.
Oil filter and air filter check.

IMPORTANT TIP BEFORE PACKING THE CAR
Check the weight capacity of the vehicle because excessive weight can cause:
Extra strain on the suspension.
Braking can become less effective.
Sidewalls of tyres can bulge, adding to the risk of a blowout.
Steering can become harder.
The heavier the vehicle the more fuel it will consume.
Distribute the weight evenly as possible, then the vehicle will handle much better.

Happy Holidays
