Snack me now !

Bernard from Bucklands Beach

Hey neighbours,
I just need to plug this yummy and morish but healthy product I found at NW Howick.

It's called "Snack me now" by Low Carb Zone . I came across it looking for low carb bread as it's right next to that section. It's got nothing but good stuff in it. … View more

It's called "Snack me now" by Low Carb Zone . I came across it looking for low carb bread as it's right next to that section. It's got nothing but good stuff in it. It's far better then peanuts with beer or a wine trust me ,😉 ! No I don't work or know the manufacturers of this product, but I know I'm going to go back for more.

Be well.

Masters Study

Meet Hinerangi Busby who shares her journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.

I am a graduate of the marae-centred programme, Te Pouhono, transforming Māori communities, promoting mātauranga-a-hapū, a-iwi. My participation took me to the Bachelor of Mātauranga Māori, and then postgraduate study.

Awanuiārangi centres you. This is the nurturing space of Māori researchers, with the support of academic and professional staff; this all transpires from an authentic indigenous and traditional Māori environment.

My studies have empowered me to play a more pro-active role in whānau and hapū affairs. Instead of being angry at a past that we cannot change, let’s become part of the solution for positive change.

“My sister and I recently had to sell our family home, it was a hugely personal and emotional experience for us both.
Our first hurdle was to clean and clear the property so we could present it to its full potential. What a massive job that was, where do you start!!!

Team Parfitt were introduced to us, and we had no hesitation in bringing them on board to do the really hard stuff, market and sell our home full of memories.

Lisa and Wayne really looked after us like we were all family, we got to know them really well and it was always a pleasure to chat.

When it came to Auction time, we met up the night before to set our reserve and Wayne even went as far as to say that if we didn’t achieve our target, he would eat his shoes…

On Auction day he looked very sharp in his suit and I did check out his shoes – definitely non edible.

Of course, with such lovely people and being totally dedicated to our success we achieved a result of over $200K above our expectations, needless to say Wayne’s shoes were safe.

Lisa and Wayne, you worked so harmoniously together and made our experience seamless.

Thank you so much, you helped us to make our mum proud, she would be very happy as are we.”
