Single mum, don't want to make a mistake and waste money I don't have.
Have you been here? Could you tell me of your family experience?
I will be taking up the offer of a free trial, but in my experience, the trial comes with the very best behaviour and example and then when you join, find out it's not quite what was portrayed.
Would appreciate your comments if allowed.
Cheers.

These businesses are thriving and they are doing amazing work, but because they are not in a traditional work space, professional development is almost always product or service related and hardly ever personal.

As a result, a lot of incredibly successful entrepreneurs are behind in admin and dread it because of outdated and lengthy processes. The Mind Lab’s Digital Skills for the Workplace will dramatically change your concept of admin and the time you spend on it.

Relianz Travel Tip

It is easy for scammers to fake air tickets, but it is also very easy for customers to find out the issue so the damage can be controlled at an early stage.
Every single legitimately issued air ticket has a unique booking reference number or PNR (Passenger Name Record) number, and most airlines allow you to search for the booking status on their websites. If you have purchased an air ticket through a lesser known travel agency, it is always safe to check up the booking once you receive the ticket. Better cautious than nothing!

Are you a fan of fast fashion?

Kelly Dennett Reporter from Sunday Star Times

Many of us grew up flocking to Glassons, Hallenstein's, Cotton On and Just Jeans for our hardy perennials - jeans, t-shirts, summer dresses - and some of us still do.

But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great … View more
Many of us grew up flocking to Glassons, Hallenstein's, Cotton On and Just Jeans for our hardy perennials - jeans, t-shirts, summer dresses - and some of us still do.

But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great for the environment.

While some of us are pledging to only buy second hand or to invest in statement pieces - more expensive items that will last a long time- not all of us have that luxury.

We're wanting to speak to someone who isn't giving up their fast fashion any time soon, whether it's for economic or style reasons, personal choice or indifference to the environment. Maybe you're a student who likes the choice chain store fashion brings, or perhaps you're a parent whose children are growing too fast to risk splashing out on expensive clothing.

If this sounds like you, please email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz.
