* Bentonite Soap is great for hair that tends to tangle or for falling hair. There is a little information on it in our online store. search box - bentonite
* New Products coming soon - Solid Conditioner Bars, Massage Oil Bars, Facial Moisture Bars.
* Personal experience about a valuable herb:
Olive Leaf for Viruses. I can now say with confidence it works. Last year I got a heavy cold that I just couldnt shake. I was sick of being told viruses have to run their course. I turned to a book I had on olive leaf and read how it can deal to things like herpes etc. As a music teacher taking time off is not user friendly! I had been sick for weeks and nothing was working. I got onto olive leaf and had instant results. This year, even though I have had many 'beginnings' of a bott (sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, foggy head) within hours of taking olive leaf ie taking a tsp of powder every few hours, symptoms leave and I win. I think the powder is more effective than the tablets, as I have tried both, but the powder is very bitter. Not for the fainthearted. I use a little fruit juice to wash it down.
My hope with sharing this experience is that it may also help others.

Poll: Is it time to lower the speed limit on NZ's open roads?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Ministry of Transport data for 2016, the most recent available on its website, makes for sobering reading – 328 deaths from 286 fatal road crashes, or 0.9 deaths for every 10,000 vehicles.

Poll: Is it time to raise New Zealand's superannuation age?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

New Zealand has one of the simplest pension schemes in the world - all you have to do is be old enough and have lived in the country long enough and you can get it.

But that also makes it expensive - about $14.5 billion this year. Jobseeker benefits, by comparison, cost just $1.7b and sole parent support $1.08b.
