Because Life after Labour shouldn't be hard

Rentia from Darfield

To all mum's to-be, I am sure you know that life immediately after birth can become quite difficult and emotional, this does not have to be the case. I am a mum of 4 and I can categorically tell you, the emotional roller coaster that sets in a day or so after birth doesn't have to happen,… View moreTo all mum's to-be, I am sure you know that life immediately after birth can become quite difficult and emotional, this does not have to be the case. I am a mum of 4 and I can categorically tell you, the emotional roller coaster that sets in a day or so after birth doesn't have to happen, and you can prevent it. No baby blues, no mood swings, only good breast milk production, good energy and feeling vitalized.

Please give me a call or send me a text if you are pregnant, because life after labour really shoudn't be hard, so let me help!

I’ve been writing, editing and publishing for my whole professional life, almost 30 years now. Formerly a senior government manager, hiring in both NZ and the UK, I’ve seen all sorts of CVs – including many fails. And I’ve seen how few people make the most of their LinkedIn profile.

Here's an overview of my four main services – for full details about each, please go to www.facebook.com...

· CV service – write from scratch or upgrade – $200, maximum turnaround time 3 days.
· LinkedIn service – create from scratch or upgrade – $200, maximum turnaround time 3 days.
· + Cover letter – add a cover letter to any of the other services, for $50. Send me the job description of the role you’re applying for, and I’ll create a one-off tailored letter, completely individualised to you and how you meet the requirements of that role.
· Ultimate Whiz – CV & LinkedIn package combined, for a great saving! $350. Turnaround: about 5 days, but note that we must finalise your CV before using that info as the basis of your LinkedIn profile.

Happy to meet any urgent deadlines. Please get in touch!

Re-write your life...

All the kindling you'll need for winter!

Isabelle from Leeston

If you’re sick of constantly running out of little bags of kindling, I’m a Leeston local selling a whole winter’s worth in one bag.

If you’re sick of constantly running out of little bags of kindling, I’m a Leeston local selling a whole winter’s worth in one bag.

Log burner length, and super dry. Pure willow. Willow is often not recommended for firewood because it burns so fast – but that makes it the perfect kindling. It’s a guaranteed, stress-free way to get every fire roaring within a minute – no special skills required!

This 60x60x75 bag contains one quarter of a cubic metre, which equates to a very large amount of small sticks! It’s ALL the kindling your household will need for this winter.

Price is $70, which includes the tough garden waste bag with convenient handles – the bag makes the kindling quick, easy and clean to transport and store.

Buyer must collect from our rural property 5 min drive from Leeston, or 10 min drive from Lincoln and Rolleston. Collection and payment can be contactless if you prefer. We’re posting on a number of local sites, and have lots of these bags available.

Message me for details. Cheers – stay safe, and warm.

Price: $70

Small businesses are vital to the recovery of our economy.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.

But many have been hit hard.

Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.

You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.
