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.

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!

This applies to the non-commercial (recreational and traditional) taking of shellfish only.
Ingesting shellfish with this toxic algae present will cause a range of symptoms from tingling around your face and hands, to vomiting, paralysis, respiratory failure and in severe cases, death.
Those affected can phone Healthline for advice on 0800 611 116 or seek medical attention immediately, ensuring you keep any remaining shellfish for testing.
The areas affected include Waipapakauri on 90 Mile Beach, south to Pouto Point on the northern head of the Kaipara Harbour as well as Herekino, Whangape and Hokianga Harbours.
The Ministry of Primary Industries are urging residents to spread the word and you can find more information at the link below.
