ALL IS TRUE

The year is 1613, and Shakespeare is acknowledged as the greatest writer of the age. But disaster strikes when his renowned Globe Theatre burns to the ground. Devastated, Shakespeare returns to Stratford, where he must face a troubled past and a neglected family.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR COMMUTE...

Living on the Kapiti Coast is fantastic – the beaches, the rivers, the bush, the weather – we have it all! However, one downside if you’re working in town is the commute to Wellington. Everyday thousands of people drive or catch the train/bus to work.

FACEBOOK VERSUS GOOGLE

In the last 12 months I have witnessed and experienced the most bizarre (almost self-destructive) move from the biggest digital marketing platform in the world. I can only put this down to American greed and the pressure these US based businesses have to increase their share price. Facebook has been on a 12-month journey to self-destruction and they still do not seem to understand this.

How a Raumati man is changing Kapiti Real Estate?

Mary lost her husband suddenly, grieving terribly Mary was stuck. Mary was alone and, in a home, she knew she couldn’t afford. She’d never bought or sold a property before without her husband and didn’t know where to start. Mary’s family and friends had their own ideas but they weren’t necessarily what Mary wanted. 

Can Anyone Learn to Draw?

Anyone can learn to draw. Children under ten are usually contented with their beautiful, colourful symbol drawings and paintings (as we all are!) and are probably best left to pursue those in their own way. At this stage in their development, they are more aware of the shapes and colours and how they fit together than whether their creations look real or not. They are more likely to benefit from art experiences – opportunities to explore different materials and activities that stimulate their inherent creativity.

SIX MUST DO'S TO GET THROUGH WINTER - ANNA MABEY

I read a quote last night in an amazing book I am reading (The 5am Club by Robin Sharma),

"The Well wear a crown of wellness that only The Ill can see".  Let that sit for a while and feel the impact of those words.

The thing is, it is extremely easy to take our "wellness' for granted, we feel well so we don't do anything about it and it is not until we feel unwell that we take action. On top of this, half the time “The Well” don't even feel the best they can, instead they accept that this is life and this is their lot - I’m talking putting up with less than adequate sleep, regular headaches, energy slumps, nausea, pain - these are things we learn to live with and count ourselves “Well”.
