MELANOBOOST IS CRAFTED TO ASSIST TANNING IN ALL SKIN TYPES AND TONES, INCLUDING THOSE WITH FAIR SKIN.

Our oils, lotions, and sprays feature advanced peptide technology that supports the natural tanning process before, during, and after sun exposure.

Using beforehand helps prepare your skin for UV exposure, aiding faster, darker tanning with less sun exposure - especially beneficial for those with fair skin prone to burning. During sun exposure, it accelerates tanning results, and after exposure, it optimises and prolongs your tan. This innovative approach maximises your tanning potential with minimal sun exposure, making Melanoboost a smarter choice for natural tanning.

NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS WHO DESCRIBE THEIR SKIN AS LIGHT, PALE OR FAIR HAVE PROVIDED FIVE STAR REVIEWS DETAILING THEIR TANNING SUCCESS USING MELANOBOOST.

Word for the week

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

So many people are lunting these days.
It used to be an activity by old gentlemen out strolling.
Nowadays it is the teenagers who have taken up lunting.
Lunting is a verb meaning to walk around while smoking a pipe.
Lunting is what pipe smokers do as a means of stress relief or to relax.

Nowadays it is the teenagers who have taken up lunting.
Lunting is a verb meaning to walk around while smoking a pipe.
Lunting is what pipe smokers do as a means of stress relief or to relax.
Additional meanings for lunting are emitting smoke or steam from a pipe and lighting a fire, torch or tobacco pipe.
Nowadays instead of walking I see more young people in their cars, with their windows down, LUNTING.
cheers all.

So Kitty Kingdom friends….what do you cool cats get up to on a Sunday afternoon? Finishing up those weekend chores? Getting ready for another Monday? Yawn Yawn!!!!

Well have we got news for you!

Beat the Sunday blues and get yourself down to the Kaikanui Tavern Kaiapoi on Sunday 25 August and play card bingo with us!!!!

The games start at 1pm, why not pop down a bit before that….get a drink and maybe something to eat before the games begin….the food is yummy!

A couple of the girls here have already checked out the bingo and it’s a lot of fun!

Games are just $2 a round (so make sure you bring your coins). Half of the pot gets donated to the cats and kittens and the first person to call out Bingo gets the other half!

Jules at the Kaik will have some other great games for us too!

There will be a meat raffle kindly provided by the Kaik and they will donate half of the ticket sales to Kitty Kingdom! What a good bunch they are!

We will also have a Kitty Kingdom raffle on the day, with some really amazing prizes!!!

We promise you will have lots of fun….and belly laughs and we really hope to see you there.
