As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.
One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.
But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.
- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.
- Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...
Jandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop. When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar.

When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar. But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've seen in the beach boutiques nowadays?
We want to know what a day at the beach with the classics costs us.
So roll up, roll up ... there's nothing like licking a scoop of ice cream during the summer. How much do you pay at home, and when you are away? What is the most expensive ice cream you've bought on holiday?

The Kiwi day at the beach. It's what our summer memories are made of. It's an easy and fun way to spend a day in the sun - but is it still cheap?

I am so, so, so excited today.
Why?
I'm holding a SPECIAL “New Years, New You 30 Day Challenge”!
As you may know, you can now begin my 30 Day Challenge whenever you want. That makes it easier for people’s schedules, allows a better dynamic in the group, and many other benefits.
However I wanted to do something special. Since it’s the New Year and I know SO many of you are going to join us for our biggest challenge of the year, we’re coordinating a start date of January 7th!
(NOTE: I’m also adding in a HUGE surprise if you join before January 7th.)
If you don’t know, The 30 Day New You Challenge is one of the most popular programs we offer.
It’s not another “hope & pray” dieting program. It’s a body and soul TRANSFORMATION program and it’s enhanced the lives of over 100,000 women since we first started it.
Over the course of 30 days you’ll do much more than just “lose weight”...
… you’ll learn how to fall deeply and madly IN LOVE with your body and yourself.
I know that might sound crazy, but that’s EXACTLY why the 30-Day Challenge is so effective!
In fact, the results from our Dec. Challenge were insane! We discovered that our AVERAGE participant drops of 11.03 pounds and 6.3 inches, in just 30 days!
Here’s the best part...
All this happened without starving themselves… without eating boring or bland “rabbit” food… without torturing their bodies with grueling workouts… and all the other (work your buns off with no results) nonsense most programs put you through.
Please contact me directly to sign up for the New Year 30 Day New You Challenge now.
Love ya :)
With you in Health & Fitness
