TAKE PART IN NEW ZEALAND'S BIGGEST MAKEOVER!!

I usually shy away from using this blog to promote clients but I know that there must be plenty of PR ladies out there will be interested in this particular event!

On Thursday, 30th October, Friday, 31st October and Saturday, 1st November, Life Pharmacy stores will be offering personal beauty treatments to the public. This is a great opportunity to have a team of experts create a new make-up look, skin care programme or beauty room treatment just for you.

All that you need to do to secure an appointment is to pop down to your nearest Life Pharmacy and pledge a minimum $20 donation which will be passed on to national women’s cancer charity, Look Good Feel Better. All donations will go towards the special hair and make-up workshops that this very special charity holds across New Zealand. These free workshops, which are attended by up to 3,000 women each year, provide a vital boost to self-esteem at a time when it is needed most.

All of New Zealand’s favourite beauty houses are participating in the event including Bobbi Brown, Clarins, Chanel Beauté, Clinique, Dior, Estee Lauder, Elizabeth Arden, Lancôme, La Mer, Mac, La Prairie, Origins, Revlon, Shiseido, Smashbox and Yves Saint Laurent Beauté
Bookings can be made at any of the nationwide Life Pharmacy stores.

Everyone who makes a booking will also go into a draw to win one of two baskets filled with cosmetic products, valued at $1000.

So, head on down to your nearest beauty counter. Not only will you pick up some great beauty tips but you will also be supporting women with cancer throughout the country....

HELEN CLARKE CALLS FOR A NOVEMBER 8th ELECTION

Soooo....it looks like the time has finally come. Today, at 12.30pm, Helen Clarke called an election. Here is a link to the announcement which just popped up on NZX. You can also go here to see a video of Helen making the announcement. Hopefuly, a big chunk of of the population will be dashing down to the polls on Saturday, 8th November to decide the future of New Zealand.

These are very interesting times. I am sure that many of us will be looking on and wondering how the results of this election will effect both our clients and ourselves.

I have already decided who I am going to vote for. I hope that my decision will go a small way towards making this country a better place.

Who else has already reached a decision? Or will you be waiting until the last minute before you make your mind up?

The announcement has, obviously, spread through international media like wildfire. Here are a few links that you can visit to read more about the upcoming election:
