Why the Scent in Your Home matters when trying to Sell
Your home should feature one scent, not several. Too many can compete with one another, confusing the buyer and drawing attention from what your home has to offer.
The specific scent you choose for your home should also be carefully considered. Many believe that baking cookies or brewing coffee makes a home smell cozy and inviting, but while coffee and cookies may smell pleasant, they may not be the best for your home when it is being showed.
Experts say that baking soda can help diffuse odours, while citrus can make a kitchen more inviting.
If you aren’t a fan of citrus, then you might want to choose a simple, clean smell or forego adding scent entirely if your home has no unpleasant odours.
Whatever you choose, the trick is to keep it simple.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
