Have you looked at your toenails lately?

John Ringer from Laser Nail Clinic - Windsor Park, North Shore

Are you scared to let your, dare I say it, grotesque fungal infected nails, out of hiding? Painting them with nail polish is not going to help, in fact it just makes it worse – there is nothing fungi like better than a dark, warm and moist environment! Doing nothing and hoping it will go away is … View moreAre you scared to let your, dare I say it, grotesque fungal infected nails, out of hiding? Painting them with nail polish is not going to help, in fact it just makes it worse – there is nothing fungi like better than a dark, warm and moist environment! Doing nothing and hoping it will go away is also not an option. All that happens then is that the infection will continue to spread to the other nails and each nail will gradually become thick and crusty – not a good look!
To find out more you can either visit our informative web site (www.lasernailclinic.co.nz) or call us on 0800 952 737.

The evolution of the New Zealand state house

Housing New Zealand

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

Fast-forward 80 years, and Housing New Zealand is still building high-quality, state-of-the-art homes that are winning awards and setting a new standard for state housing.

Take a journey through the evolution of the state house, from its humble beginnings to the warm, healthy, modern homes we’re building today.
