Just send a picture with your awesome Bachmannsmile.The Link Between Smiling and HappinessSmiling is a universal sign of happiness. No matter what country you go to or what culture you take in, smiling is a sign of joy and acceptance. The main reason for that is because studies have shown that when a person is smiling, it affects specific muscles that can make that person feel happy. In addition, when you use these particular muscles, your brain will release endorphins, which are brain chemicals that will induce feelings of pleasure and euphoria. So smiling indeed does have the ability to make you happier – even if you have to force yourself into doing so!.What can we do to make you smile?Call Candice with a smile 09 448 1128 or send us a smile email. ...#smile #contagious #science #neurons #bachmannsmile #bachmannorthodontics #specialistorthodontist #flirt #relationship #laugh #braces #relationship #tinder #single #invisiblebraces #speedbraces #virus #health #invisalign #happiness #shoolzone #friendship #friends #relationship #teeth #universalsmileage

There, they're and their!

NumberWorks'nWords East Coast Bays

There, they’re and their are the big trio of commonly confused words with all three of them pronounced the same.
- There means the opposite of here; “at that place.”
- They’re is a contraction of “they are” or “they were.”
- Their means “belongs to them.”

As we begin to reflect on this year, we are humbled not only by our amazing team that has helped moving our business forward but also by the support we have received from our partners despite the challenging times posed by Covid-19 (tough for many businesses) 😷

In the last couple of years, we have really taken our time to assemble a tight-knit network of suppliers, strategic partners, manufacturers, and consultants who are specialists in their respective fields and to provide value to our clients projects.

As a result, despite being in a difficult time, our partners have really stepped up for us as well as our clients. They have always adapted to the ever-changing environment by going the extra mile to work with us in efforts to continue to keep our projects progressing.

Working through this challenging year and continuing to serve our clients wouldn't have been possible without the support of our partners, we would like to give a BIG thank you to all our suppliers, contractors, strategic partners, and consultants 🤝👏

We’re all looking forward to the new year with new exciting plans to serve more Auckland homeowners, to provide MORE value, and to grow stronger with our partners together
