With a … View moreNudi Point is one company that is not only battling through this crisis, but they are wholeheartedly embracing it. Owner Blair Coates is no stranger to adversity, after all, he is a proud gay man living in a rural north island farming community, with a passion for skin and hair care.
With a positive and upbeat outlook, Blair decided to face business in the Covid-19 era head-on. “I tend to look at every challenge as an opportunity”, and this approach has helped Nudi Point see a steady rise in their online sales since launching ‘Immunity Essential Oil Blend’ and an all-natural ‘Hand Sanitizer’. This powerful, natural sanitizer is a spritz rather than a gel so you can use it on yourself and/or surfaces. These 2 new products have helped introduce more customers to the brand and it's fair to say with a retail presence as vast, it’s no wonder you're probably asking why you haven't heard of this brand before.
Nudi Point is made in a garage workshop on Blair’s property in Takahue Valley. Their range is known for using plant-based, non-synthetic, and only naturally extracted ingredients to come up with rich lotions, serums and skincare essentials. With an excellent understanding of skin-enhancing compounds and how to develop effective formulations using the power of plants, Nudi Point have cornered a market for NZ local, highly effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly, natural skincare.
Nudi Point can see growth forecasted in the future due to the increasing demand on non-chemical based products. These are the medium businesses that employ locally, no offshore cosmetic company head office to send the cashflow back to, and no international manufacturing to compete with domestic products. It’s crucial we seek out businesses like Nudi Point to help maintain their important positions within our community, environment and economy.
The next time we walk through one of those airport duty-free makeup and skincare counters could be a really long time, but with natural and effective alternatives like Nudi Point made here in NZ and being readily and easily available, I think our skin and the environment will be very happy with the state of the nation.

Hi Neighbours, It's no surprise that Auckland is in severe drought, with water storage at 26 year April lows. But the new risk is that businesses re-opening next week, could face mandatory restrictions within weeks. Read the story below:
NumberWorks'nWords remains online during lock down level 3. Our lessons are being delivered in the same fun, engaging way. Here is some feedback from one of our parents.

And believe me the May issue is packed with the good stuff, with ideas of what you can sow, plant, pick and preserve to make the most of your garden right now, plus Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown, a bumper gardening quiz, and you can visit a spectacular Taupō garden alive with birds, a whimsical wonderland in Glenorchy in full bloom and meet the clever and resourceful gardeners of the Chatham Islands... all without leaving your bubble. And thanks so much to everyone who has been in touch to offer their support to the NZ Gardener team, especially those who have subscribed or renewed or purchased a subscription as a gift (an NZ Gardener subscription is a great Mother's Day idea, just sayin'!) We are so grateful to you all, and it's your support that allows us to keep inspiring and informing gardeners from all around New Zealand as we have been doing now for more than 75 years. Please share this message with your gardening groups on social too. We’re looking forward to the many more years of celebrating the amazing gardens and gardeners of New Zealand that lie ahead.

Alert Level 3 is a milestone in our struggle against COVID-19. We are all responsible for what happens next. Every contact we make is a chance for the virus to spread.

We could easily lose what we have gained. Our success, or failure, depends on the decisions that we’ll each make alone – but which in turn – will affect all of us.
Two weeks then a review
• On 11 May, we will review our progress and decide if we can safely continue to step down restrictions, or if more measures are required to protect us all.
• So the decisions we each make now, matter. Because every interaction we have is an opportunity for the virus to spread.
Keeping safe at Alert Level 3
• At Alert Level 3, the best way to keep those around you safe, is by keeping your bubble small. Interact with as few people as possible. Less people equals less risk. And continue to stay at home whenever you can.
• We should each be making the minimal number of trips. Be sure to stay local, and only make necessary trips.
• And importantly, work and learn from home if you can.
Let’s do this
We’re a team of 5 million. Formidable. And we can do this.
So thank you New Zealand for making the right decisions, when it really counts.
