<br />
Renowned therapist and relationship expert Leanne French says online counselling is a fast-growing business, as more and more Kiwis find there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to get the help they want.<br />
<br />
With more than 20 years experience in her industry, French has forged a successful career as a well-respected therapist and relationship expert, consistently called upon as a media commentator and columnist. <br />
<br />
French says the immediacy of the new service allows people to conduct sessions in the comfort of their own home without the time pressures of everyday life and help is available outside normal work ours.<br />
<br />
Online counselling is not like normal counselling because it attends to clients dilemmas instantaneously, which is such a help for busy people," says French. "I talk online to highly functioning people who need guidance, support and coaching so they can communicate in ways that enhance their business life and enrich their love and life decisions."<br />
<br />
Leanne specialises in couples counselling, empowering individuals, stress management, grief, transforming addiction and enhancing creativity. She attributes the continuing success of her online counselling service to the fact that it allows people to get what they need, without having to leave their home, office, or children. <br />
<br />
According to Leanne, when people are more aware of what they say, what they do and how they behave, they become more attentive to their own needs and the needs of others.<br />
<br />
French’s online counselling is available at a rate of $90 per hour. An introductory email and Leanne’s first response is free of charge. Leanne also offers therapy sessions from her boutique retreat in Martinborough in the Wairarapa, as well as over the phone. <br />

</b><br />
Add a little spice to your life with a two-in-one regime to revitalise the scalp with a warming sensation.<br />
<br />
Saving time without compromising condition, the new Redken for Men Clean Spice 2-in-1 conditioning shampoo is highly convenient for sophisticated men with a fast-paced lifestyle. The fast acting, multi-sensorial formula enriched with fortifying protein and essential wood oils moisturises and disciplines all hair types – even the hardest to manage – and leaves hair clean, soft, with frizz under control.<br />
<br />
“Ease and no fuss formulas are the ticket with men and this two-in-one formula ticks all the boxes,” says Redken’s national education manager Katrina Foster. “The difference between this offering and standard two-in-ones is that this is a shampoo that has integrated conditioning components within, rather than trying to amalgamate a shampoo and conditioner into one product which is not technically viable. The formula is perfect for all hair types, including coarse and medium as well as sensitive scalps, containing an optimal concentration of invigorating and soothing ingredients to help maintain the scalps natural balance.”<br />
<br />
The first creamy conditioning shampoo from Redken for Men instantly bursts into a warm, rich, foam that releases an aromatic blend of cedar wood, warm spice and sparkling ginger for a resolutely masculine style. Apply to wet hair, massage into lather in a circular motion for one minute, then rinse.<br />
<br />
Redken for Men Clean Spice 2-in-1 conditioning shampoo (300ml) has an RRP of $31.00 and is available from August 1.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.Money4Mobiles.co.nz">Money4Mobiles.co.nz</a> aims to fully recycle as many mobile phones as possible within New Zealand, and give corporations and individuals the chance to put extra money in their pockets and help the environment too.<br />
<br />
The phones recycled within New Zealand will be on-sold to emerging and developing nations including India, Russia, South America and China.<br />
<br />
“There are around 1.8 million unused mobile phones gathering dust in cupboards and drawers within New Zealand alone,” says Money4Mobiles.co.nz director John Wilson.<br />
<br />
“Money4Mobiles.co.nz encourages both individuals and businesses to send in their old mobiles for recycling and eventual sale to emerging and developing countries experiencing high demand for mobile phones.<br />
<br />
“Kiwis will be able to help stop inappropriate and dangerous waste ending up in landfills and provide developing countries with affordable access to mobile phones, and at the same time make cash,” says Wilson.<br />
<br />
The website Money4Mobiles.co.nz offers a step-by-step guide to recycling mobiles for cash. <br />
<br />
Mobile phone users will be asked to input their mobile make and model before grading their phone from ‘A’ (as new condition) down to a ‘D’ (poor condition, i.e. major scratching and missing battery or back cover).<br />
<br />
Users will be given a price based on their input. Prices start from $1 for old phones and go up to $512 and payment will be made within five working days. <br />
<br />
“When Money4Mobiles.co.nz receives an order and it meets our terms and conditions, customers receive a payment direct to their bank account,” says Wilson.<br />
<br />
Phones beyond repair will be used for parts and the company aims to recycle 75 per cent of all phones received. <br />
<br />
Any surplus product not returned to a working category is stripped for parts to assist the correction of future faulty products.<br />
<br />
“Handsets contain a number of hazardous components such as plastics, cadmium, lead and mercury in the batteries which are potential environmental threats if they are just thrown away rather than recycled,” says Wilson.<br />
<br />
Users will be asked to remove old SIM or memory cards, as well as any existing data stored on the handset, before sending their phones to <a href="http://www.Money4Mobiles.co.nz.">Money4Mobiles.co.nz.</a>Let's Travel Magazinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11447696915097188406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9092446713266996385.post-18553689989525632302010-06-01T14:11:00.000+12:002010-06-01T14:11:48.663+12:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiU0GMwZbfIAkD1Bfu-yWaQO2LOP61dt515xKHWyUROAS4r1IvR-1MdQAnH0EuJTKBdraisLn3DpTXjt9ffpO7Nx4BfRv-KKc5zoFR2IZxh8uq348z4TRlPU0pv4FvvFAJHuOJj1HHMyU/s1600/nav.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiU0GMwZbfIAkD1Bfu-yWaQO2LOP61dt515xKHWyUROAS4r1IvR-1MdQAnH0EuJTKBdraisLn3DpTXjt9ffpO7Nx4BfRv-KKc5zoFR2IZxh8uq348z4TRlPU0pv4FvvFAJHuOJj1HHMyU/s320/nav.JPG" /></a></div><b>Navigate launches themed magazine series</b><br />
<br />
The first in a series of themed magazine issues highlighting the best of the Navigate Collection has been launched called ‘Navigate Confidential’. The first issue is all about weddings and honeymoons, and highlights the latest trend; Smaller guest lists. <br />
<br />
Navigate works with a carefully chosen selection of luxury lodges and resorts, boutique hotels, private islands and super yachts in New Zealand, Fiji and the Cook Islands. This issue showcases unique ways to experience honeymoons and the perfect way to celebrate the biggest day of your life with the ultimate intimate wedding in luxurious style surrounded by the people you love.<br />
<br />
Navigate Confidential is a free magazine. We bring you two magazines each year, the second edition will be launched in August 2010 with a focus on the best of Food and Wine in Oceania.<br />
<br />
Step inside Navigate Confidential – showcasing a collection of luxury intimate wedding and honeymoon destinations in our world!<br />
<br />
Navigate Oceania offers ten reasons to celebrate the smaller guest wedding list.<br />
1. One of the best things about having a small wedding is the intimacy of having the people you care most about being close to you.<br />
2. Because you are surrounded by those closest to you, your more relaxed and the feeling is a celebration rather than a production.<br />
3. You have more control over your budget with an intimate wedding.<br />
4. Pull out all the stops and have the lavish wedding you have always wanted and splurge on the things that really matter. Maybe it’s the out-of-this world dinner or spectacular setting.<br />
5. Because you won’t need a large space to accommodate guests, exclusivity of venue and planning becomes easier.<br />
6. The freedom to customize your wedding and create the perfect unique wedding that reflects just who you are.<br />
7. Spending time with your guests, when the guest list is small makes them feel welcome and not a stranger.<br />
8. Your small guest lists enables everyone to mix and mingle.<br />
9. The smaller wedding includes everyone in the ceremony and you can plan your own special touches.<br />
10. Memories are key - you and your guests will remember this truly special day because it was planned with them in mind.<br />

</o:p>‘A Song for Lara,’ is infused with Parisian joie de vivre<i> </i>as reflected in the clothes of <i>Zhivago’s</i> Tanya. The collection references the scene where, on Tanya’s return to Moscow from the City of Lights, her luminous light coral coat and hat transform the endlessly grey Moscow streetscape.<o:p><br />
</o:p></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Designer Claire Barker says; “I wanted to create a range with that same hauntingly wonderful impact, so that a woman wearing my designs for this season will feel she is transforming the winter streets.”<br />
<br />
Barker is firmly pro-glamour and anti-bulk, and much of her dress, jacket and coat-rich Winter 2010 collection is constructed in silk, cashmere and angora.<span> <br />

<br />
Shapely, tailored garments continue to be made ‘just so’ through fresh – and, this season, suitably Baltic – finishing, like braided borders on epaulettes, zip detail on belts and sleeve heads, and especially designed woven wool tassels.<br />

<br />
“I want women to feel beautiful and sexy when they wear a Claire Barker design. I want my customers to celebrate their individuality and beauty without ever feeling overstated or uncomfortable. I never indulge myself to design for design’s sake. I would never create something that I wouldn’t feel beautiful wearing myself.”<br />

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife: <br />
Marrying you has screwed up my life. <br />
<br />
2. I see your face when I am dreaming. <br />
That's why I always wake up screaming. <br />
<br />
3. Kind, intelligent, loving and hot; <br />
This describes everything you are not. <br />
<br />
4. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss, <br />
But I only slept with you 'cause I was pissed. <br />
<br />
5. I thought that I could love no other <br />
-- that is until I met your brother... <br />
<br />
6. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you. <br />
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl’s empty and so is your head. <br />
<br />
7. I want to feel your sweet embrace; <br />
But don't take that paper bag off your face. <br />
<br />
8. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes <br />
Damn, I'm good at telling lies! <br />
<br />
9. My love, you take my breath away. <br />
What have you stepped in to smell this way? <br />
<br />
10. My feelings for you no words can tell, <br />
Except for maybe 'Go to hell.' <br />
