Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.

Golliwogs are made from black fabric and have black eyes bordered with white, red lips, white teeth, frizzy hair and minstrel dress. They began appearing in the late 1800s.
A Human Rights Commission spokeswoman said golliwogs were offensive because “they perpetuate the sort of stereotypes that often underpin racism”.
But Buchanan said the word golliwog was not used in the post and she had simply admired them for the workmanship, including hand-painted clothing.
What do you think? Are Golliwogs harmless, or is there no place for them in society today? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

Harcourts is thrilled to be the Presenting Partner for the Pop up Penguins in Christchurch. A trail of individually decorated sculptures, designed by artists and children, and sponsored by businesses, to give residents and visitors the opportunity to discover and delight in all that makes Ōtautahi unique. At the conclusion of the trail, some of the penguins will be sold at an auction, run by Harcourts, to raise money for Cholmondeley Children’s Centre.

The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!

Local residents of the subdivision in Northeast Christchurch told Stuff that the changes would lead to significant disruptions and the road becoming hazardous for young children. They have since presented a petition to the Waitai/Coastal-Burwood Community Board in August, outlining their concerns.
What do you think about this roading proposal?

Jasmine Hubber established Til the Cows Come Home in North Canterbury three years ago when she was just 17. However, she has conceded she took on “taken on far too much” after the Ministry for Primary Industries and another animal charity stepped in.
She called in HUHANZ (Helping You Help Animals) five weeks ago to help with the $28,000 on veterinary bills and feed for the cows.
HUHA co-founder Carolyn Press-McKenzie said work has been under way to de-horn and castrate the cows, restore their health and find them new homes.
