I am suppose to have my car wrapped in white to use for my business. My friend already ordered materials for me. But then my franchise company told me that they wont accept vinyl covered cars. We cannot return the vinyls back. Just wondering if anyone wants to have their car colored in white instead. So we can use the ordered materials than having it stored for no use. We can talk and negotiate a good deal with it. I just want to convert it to cash.

Message me at 0223219396 if anyone interested Thanks would appreciate any help 😊

DIY FACE MASK FOR HAIRCUTS

Carissa from Papatoetoe

Here's a hack to get you through your next hair cut, keeping you and your hairdressers safe. Wash your hands first and/or sanitise - then cut the ear loops off your surgical mask (or your home made mask). Stick some Fashion Tape along the sides and you're good to go.

Wash your hands first and/or sanitise - then cut the ear loops off your surgical mask (or your home made mask). Stick some Fashion Tape along the sides and you're good to go. Fashion Tape is a double-sided sticky tape used for adhering fabric to skin. It holds gaping necklines in place (celebrities use it). This can be purchased at places like Spotlight, Chemist Warehouse, Farmers, KMart etc. I have seen some stick-on see through masks online made in Japan which allows the hairdresser to see your face/features, but this simple idea will keep you protected. Stay safe everyone.
