I am making an effort to raise funds for the Movember foundation you can donate here mobro.co....
I have shaved off my 5 year old beard and discovered my lower face can actually get quite cold.
Joking aside, I know a few people who have suffered from poor mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. I am trying to raise funds to help make a change for people in these situations and make people more aware of their own health - especially the "she will be right" typical kiwi male who often avoids going to the doctor at all cost.
I would really appreciate your donations through the link above.
If you can't afford to donate, that's OK I understand. Times can be pretty tough for some people at the moment. There is other ways you can help though.
Start your own #Movemeber campaign through this link nz.movember.com... or share my "mospace" with your friends and family, maybe even your colleagues.
Thanks for your donations and don't forget to check the link to follow my mustache growth expedition!

Setting off fireworks has become an annual Kiwi backyard tradition, and it’s almost time to break out the sparklers again.

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.
Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.

While Upper Hutt has seen the biggest year-on-year growth of 18.6 per cent to $415, followed by Kapiti Coast which was up 15.4 per cent to $450, Porirua rents have climbed 14.5 per cent to a weekly average of $500.

Landlords might blame the government's new rules about having to insulate rentals.
But whatever the reason, if a typical landlord knows they can charge more, then they probably will.
So is it all just a case of life goes on? Would you have known Porirua rents rose 14.5% over past year? Why?
