Pure plant-powered
bodycare bliss
Evolu has introduced two new bodycare
partners, perfect for preparing, protecting and
pampering your skin.

T
hese unique New Zealand-made formulations feature original
ingredients and high concentrations of natural actives for
better results: supple, healthy, glowing skin. Gorgeously
packaged, they're also ideal gifts.
If you arent on holiday in French Polynesia right now, Evolu
might just have the next best thing. Their new Ultimate Goodness Body
Butter contains Mono de Tahiti, a deeply hydrating and nourishing oil that
has been used by Tahitians for centuries.
Made by soaking petals from the Tiar flower, or Tahitian Gardenia, in a
pure, highly refined coconut oil, Mono de Tahiti is prized for its hydrating,
protecting and anti-inflammatory properties. It was historically used for
everything from treating cuts and insect bites to massaging newborn
babies and performing religious rites. To this day Tahitian divers and
fishermen use it to protect themselves from the sun and salt water and
Tahitian women apply it to their skin and hair to keep it healthy and
nourished.
While there are many imitators, authentic Mono de Tahiti is
manufactured in Tahiti under a strict code to ensure its beneficial
properties remain intact. This code governs each step of the process from
the time the flowers are picked to how long the petals are soaked for and
the way the finished product is stored and shipped. This incredible oil has
been manufactured commercially in this way since 1942, but has been a
special part of Tahitian life for a lot longer than that.
For an all-over healthy glow after bathing, Evolu's new Invigorating
Body Scrub contains a higher-than-average concentration of 20% Arabica
coffee grounds, mixed with two NZ-native star botanicals: hydrating
Harakeke flax and soothing Kawakawa. The result is an all-natural scrub
that wont strip your skin of moisture, and smells divine.
Were all familiar with the energising effect of drinking coffee but did
you know it works in the same way on skin?
Studies have shown that applying products with high concentrations
of caffeine can stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage, improving
the bodys natural circulation and detoxification processes. Coffee also
contains antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties and may help
the appearance of visible veins. When coffee grounds are combined with
other skin-loving ingredients and used as a scrub, the result is softer,
smoother and healthier skin.
For best results, buff the scrub into the skin from the dcolletage to
the soles of your feet, leaving it on as long as possible before rinsing off.
Skin will feel incredibly soft and smooth, and be ready to absorb other
body products - including Evolu Ultimate Goodness Body Butter - for the
perfect finish.

In the
Arena with
Diane Foreman
In childhood she was selling eggs laid by
her own hens and as a teenager she was
operating a babysitting franchise. But
Diane Foremans road to global success
was beset with challenges and lessons
hard won.

L
eaving school at 15 with no formal qualifications and
a solo mother by the time she was 20 albeit holding
down two jobs at the same time Diane turned things
around to become one of the worlds most successful
entrepreneurs; named by Forbes magazine in 2014
as one of the most powerful women in Asia. Diane is one of New
Zealands most successful businesswomen. Through the Emerald
Group, she invested in New Zealand healthcare; American and
New Zealand manufacturing; premium recruitment firm Emergent;
and boutique hotel The Emerald Inn on Aucklands North Shore.
She is a former deputy chair of the Business Roundtable and has
worked with a number of charities. Since becoming New Zealand
EY Entrepreneur of the Year, Diane has been involved in these
prestigious Awards as a Judge, Mentor and Key-note speaker.
Dianes passion for people and the desire to grow successful
businesses has seen her involved in a variety of sectors, including
healthcare, property, recruitment, food manufacturing and charitable
organisations. In each, her signature drive, tenacity and determination
have come to the fore. With husband Bill she oversaw the sale of
plastics giant Trigon in 1994 and went on to form her own multi-
million dollar export company the Emerald Group. Throughout, her
mantra has always been hire slowly, fire fast, which has doubtless
contributed to her success.
The first to admit shes made mistakes, her recently released
memoir; Diane Foreman: In the Arena, is refreshingly candid about
those mistakes, and the lessons shes learned on the road to creating
a globally successful business empire, including her one-time
disastrous investment in velvet house-shoes. Mistakes or not, making
them is part and parcel of being an entrepreneur. As Foreman says,
Entrepreneurs see the world differently from other people. Theyre
always looking for an opportunity. And while entrepreneur can be
difficult to define, as a group they have some attributes in common:
the urge to have fun and live life to the fullest with imagination,
confidence, passion, hard work, courage and guts along with the
ability to live with failure. An entrepreneur never says or thinks theyve

Amanda grew up in the Waikato and trained as a teacher,

travelling gave her great inspiration for design, whether it was

travelling ignited her creative persona but it wouldnt be till
years later that she decided to intently follow this path .
Post London, Amanda found herself in Sydney where she

She married back in NZ but with itchy feet was not yet ready
to settle back in her home country. Amanda and her husband
travelled again for many months through India and Asia,
eventually finding herself back in London where she taught
at the famous Hill House. Amanda reminisced some of the
interesting characters she was lucky to teach. Names include
Fifi Geldof, Alexander Reeves (before Christopher Reeves was
paralysed!), a Brunei prince, to name drop a few.
She felt it was time to return home, New Zealand, for the
birth of their first son in 1990 but Amanda being the explorer
she is, quickly returned to Sydney. In Sydney she designed and
sold her own label of childrens wear called Knickerbockers
which was a play on the rust coloured corduroy
knickerbockers the students at Hill House wore. Before long
she moved back to Wellington to amalgamate Knickerbockers

with the passing of her childrens father. Like for anyone, this was
a trialing period of her life, a single parent juggling young children

A moment
with Maude
Wilcox of
Jill Tuck
Furnishings
Meet Maude, the face (and owner) of
Jill Tuck Furnishings Ltd. Her passion
for textiles and love for what she does
is the recipe to her success. So we
found out a little more below about
what makes her tick and whats on
trend for 2016...

About me
I have always had a love of fashion and design
it was the only subject at school that made
any sense to me. I fell in love with textiles for
the first time when I went with my mother
to look for fabric to wear to my school ball. I
remember walking down the stairs at a shop in
Queen Street and there was the most amazing
room full of sparkles and wonderful colours,
it all stared from there! Most of my career has
been in the interior textile field, starting in the
showroom then learning more about clients in
a rep role and then into sales and marketing. I
am lucky to have a supportive husband who is
a wonderful help to me in the business........ I
love telling him what to do and three hilarious
children Natalia, Georgia and Harry.

Greatest Inspiration
I know this is said a lot but my Mother.When
I was a child Mum was always on the sewing
machine making clothes for me, doing some
sort of paint effect on all the furniture,
rearranging flowers or planning a new addition
to a room. I get my personal strength from her
as well as her kindness and generosity and she
loves a good party just like me.

Role at Jill Tuck


I am the owner and Principal of the company. I
pretty much do everything! I have a wonderful
team of contractors around me whomake my
curtains and sew my cushions but I am totally
hands on with my clients from the start of the
project right until the end.

42
How did Jill Tuck Start?
Jill Tuck was originally based over in Takapuna out of a garage
30 years ago.Jill is a true industry pioneer. When Jill retired
it then was sold and moved to Remuera, when the previous
owner moved out of town I purchased the business. I expanded
the business from just cushion selling and making to all soft
furnishings for the home.

What do I love about work?


The clients, the wonderful people I meet. I am such a people
person, I love talking to them and finding out their stories, the
range of topics covered is fascinating. I also get a real thrill from
having my own business; the buck really does stop with me.

Recipe to Success
The love for what I do really shines through and the good old
fashioned work ethic that my father taught me withmy first job.
If you want something, whatever it is, you need to do whatever
you can to fulfill that dream. My dream was to have my own
business at 40, I wanted to show my children that you can have
a successful career and be a devoted Mother it is important they
know the meaning of hard work and determination.

On Trend for 2016


Bringing the outside in is becoming a real trend. Wall gardens,
adding something living and breathing in a main room of the
house, trims and a bit more detail in cushioning. I hope New
Zealanders are going to move more and more towards colour and
lets not be afraid to mix patterns together either.

Decorating your House


I often have clients who come in and have no idea where to start.
I always tell them to find a jumping off point, maybe a colour in a
rug or a painting we can pick out and add that into the scheme. Its
great that everything is not matchy matchy with fabrics anymore.
Its all about the added details, a button here, bead there, just a
little something special that you are not expecting that transforms
a room from just working together to spectacular!

innovative techniques in appearance medicine, including;

Look fabulous & feel younger
The rise of medically-inclined appearance treatments
means looking good has never been easier, we demystify
some of these innovative techniques below:

The Thread Lift This quick procedure has been


described as more than a filler, less than a facelift.
Absorbable threads are finely inserted under the
skin to achieve an overall lifting of the skin, thereby
reducing the natural sagging look of the cheek
and neck area over time.

Full Beam Laser Resurfacing This procedure


reduces lines and tightens skin by regenerating
skin cells and promoting a healthier youthful
look. It is designed to be a single treatment by
eliminating damaged cells and stimulating the
growth of new collagen. This new collagen lifts
and supports the epidermis (the skins surface)
causing tightening and rejuvenation.

Platelet Rich Plasma This new age procedure


involves drawing the patients own blood, then
spinning it down in a centrifuge to separate
out the precious platelets. The product is a
concentrate of platelets that is then re-injected
into the desired area. Platelets are responsible
for the release of regenerative and healing
growth factors, contributing to rejuvenation.
This procedure is exceptional in that it taps into
the bodys own natural resources to achieve a
more youthful look.

Fat Transfer Enhanced (Grafting) This procedure


involves harvesting the patients own fat tissue from
a donor site and transferring it to a receiving site.
Fat transfer is particularly beneficial for areas that
need volume to be restored, like sunken cheeks
and facial lines. Because the tissue comes from the
patients own body, there is no chance of an allergic
reaction. Recently there has been a great interest
in adding Platelet Rich Plasma to the transplanted
fat to further improve the end result.

So if youve been feeling the need for a little facial enhancement or


have been meaning to address a problem thats been bothering you
for a while then it might be the perfect time to talk to Dr Marzinotto
and the experienced team at the Skin Institute.

she has a personal relationship with them all,
some of which have been coming to her regularly
for seven years.
Creating her own line of nail polish has been
a long term dream for Linda, having worked in the cosmetics
industry for over 15 years. Turing her dreams into a reality, last
year Linda introduced her clients to her new brand. With over 480
colours, there is always the perfect color to match your mood or
outfit. The huge variety of colors also gives Linda and her team
the tools to create amazing, intricate nail art. The precision and
detail is next level, as they take their time to ensure you leave with
a manicure that is instagram ready.
The result is always amazing but so is the service at CigiSii.
Enjoy coffee, tea during your treatment or if its the right time of
day do not be surprised if a glass of vino is offered. Their attention
to hygiene is paramount ensuring you are in safe hands.
Always looking to grown and enhance the brand, along with
her new nail polish line, the Remuera salon recently undertook
major renovations and the outcome is simply stunning. Sleek,
clean lines, a dazzling chandelier and modern furniture, have
transformed the space into a desirable destination to slow down
your day and relax in peace. Her lovely team of ladies also offers
waxing, massages, threading, facials and spray tanning.
The salon is also a great stop for gifts. Stocking a wide variety of
beauty labels, it is hard to walk away empty handed. So book in to
see Linda or one of the CigiSii ladies and enjoy treating yourself to
an hour or two of pamper time.

I have been in the industry since 1982, with a few breaks along the
way diversifying to other industries as well as having two amazing
sons. Hair & Body Bliss has been operating since 2001 prior to the
opening I worked in the industry for other beauty establishments.
The business started off inside Jan Waite Hairdressing where
I rented space from Jan,an expansion was necessary so I
purchased a beautiful Villa in Mt Eden and employed staff, a
divine oasis in Mt Eden for all aspects of beauty. The opportunity
came up to purchase an existing hair salon in Mt Eden Village so
we cross referred from the Beauty Spa to the hair salon. We then
joined the two aspects of the industry in the one premises in the
village, A One Stop Shop!! Somewhere where women can get
all of their hairdressing needs and their beauty treatments and
maintenance done under the one roof at the same time creating
their own personal image. What gets you to work every morning?
Women today are time deprived so to be able to cut down My staff are a pleasure to work with and we have been together

The A B Cs
on UV Rays
Everyone loves spending those
hot summer days lying out at
the beach or a fresh spring day
planting flowers, but what we
have to remember is to protect
our skin the best we can. Ever
heard someone say theyre going
to go catch some rays? Well that
is literally what theyre doing;
there are three types of UV rays
you are battling when you step
outside.
UVA A stands for Aging.
UVA radiation penetrates deep intot he skin and is
responsobile for premature aging of the skin and skin
cancer. This is what we associate getting a tan with, or
those deep wrinkles you see on someone who might
have a job outdoors over some time.

UVB - B stands for Burning.


UVB radiation is stronger than UVA radiation. It mainly
affects the outer layers of the skin, causing sunburns,
premature aging of the skin, and skin cancer. These
rays are strongest during the summer months, which
is why its so important to wear a broad-spectrum
sunscreen to protect your skin.

UVC C stands for Caution.


UVC radiation is the strongest, most dangerous form
of UV light. However, they are stopped by the earths
atmosphere and do not reach earths surface.

So next time you step outside


remember to slip slop slap!

Excited by their common views of the world,

Dantes Pizzeria
Gluten Intolerant
Dough
Since 2006 Dantes Pizzeria have hand
stretched their pizzas and used only a
brick oven in the cooking process to seal
in all the authentic Italian flavours.

T
he woodfired oven reaches temperatures of over
450 C to cook a pizza to perfection in 90 seconds
giving an entirely different connotation to fast food.
Essentially, with the growing popularity of pizza,
along came the use of cheap ingredients and fast
cooking methods. The standard fast food style pizzas are made
with fast dough, which is made and served on the same day. What
dose this means for us as consumers ? The gluten is still raw (hard
to digest) and the yeast is still active so it continues to work in the
stomach making it swell. It is this process which can take pizza
permanently off the menu for those who are Gluten Intolerant.
Dantes are committed to the standard of excellence and were
the first pizzeria in New Zealand to be recognized for making
authentic Neapolitan Pizza. Unhappy with this commercialised
fast food, faithful Neapolitan pizzaioli (pizza chefs) sought to
preserve the authentic Neopolitan pizza. Now a protected dish
set by European Law, a long list of exacting specifications which
defined the classic pizza Napoletana.
Dantes will only use long slow fermentation that produces our
sourdough pizza and breads. In this way important nutrients develop,
such as iron, zinc, magnesium, antioxidants, folic acid and other B
vitamins which become easier for our bodies to absorb. Diabetics
should note that sourdough produces a lower surge in blood sugar
than any other bread: in a 2008 study published in Acta Diabetologica,
subjects with impaired glucose tolerance were fed either sourdough
or ordinary made bread: the sourdough bread produced a
significantly lower glucose and insulin response. In the sourdough
process, moreover, gluten is broken down and rendered virtually
harmless. In one small Italian study, published in the journal Clinical
Gastroenterology and Hepatology, in January 2011, coeliac patients
fed sourdough bread for 60 days had no clinical complaints, and their
biopsies showed no changes in the intestinal lining.
This method make Dantes pizzas suitable for gluten intolerant
customers but the added antioxidants make it good for you too.
Centuries ago the perfect pizza was first crafted in Naples, with
the culinary skill and care the Italians have become renown for.
Using only the freshest ingredients they created what was to
become one of the worlds favourite fast foods. Dantes Pizzeria
have embraced this time honoured Neapolitan tradition so we can
experience a slice of Italy on our side of the world.

As for women, men can proactively test their fertility.
A semen analysis is a good test to start with. It looks at the
number of sperm, shape and ability to move. The number of
sperm in a sample covers a wide range for fertile men (e.g.
20-400 million/ml). The number of sperm can fluctuate week
by week, so it is important to check a low result to see if it that

with a semen analysis is a test for sperm antibodies which can

I just wanted to thank you for your amazing product and let you
know how much I love it! I bought a bottle after my pregnancy,
after trying cocoa butter creams to make my stretch marks fade away
with no success. After only a few weeks of using the Bio-Oil, my

Christine Hafermalz-Wheeler is an artist
who uses 18ct gold, silver and gemstones
in her quest to create beauty.

A
s a technically trained goldsmith, Christine has a
passion for finding meaning and achieving a truth
in her designs. It is a careful mix of this inner and
outer beauty that Christine seeks to define when
she crafts a piece of jewellery. As a result, her
hand-crafted jewellery, captures the immutability of beauty.
In her design ethic Christine selects materials, often gemstone
wonders of nature that spark inspiration in her. Her approach to
jewellery creation has been much like that of a musician or artist;
she composes a piece of work. In designing and crafting a piece of
jewellery she achieves balance, harmony and in its essential form,
beauty. It is through these natural raw materials that she is able to
set her imagination free. For forty years Christine has drawn her

pieces are the same. Whether bold or delicate, in gold or silver,
each piece is built and shaped with traditional tools and the now
rarely used mouth-blown soldering torch.
Working with polishing pastes, files and hot metals is an
environment incompatible with creams, nail polish and lipstick.
So essentially Christines own beauty regime is simply limited to
painted toenails in summer and plenty of water. She is dedicated
to fresh, home-cooked food and actively avoids the ravages of sun
damage. Christines beauty mantra, is to be happy with herself.
Being happy with her own character has enabled this artist to
achieve true beauty, an ethos clearly seen in her craft. She
doesnt make jewellery with her head, she makes it with her whole
being. (Silke Ziehl).

Eyebrows

S
ince when did Eyebrows become such
a thing?
Long gone are the days where we pluck
them so thin they look like a penciled line,
now it is a case of the bigger the better.
The thick eyebrow trend started with models
(Bambi Northwood Blyth in particular) and ever since,
the bushy-brow has continued to grow with the likes
of Cara Delevingne.
These days women can leave the house without
mascara but no longer will they leave before perfectly
curating those fierce face framers.
Hot tip: A brow powder or pencil should be your
