Introducing our foldable mirrors at the salon 🐇 In Willow you have the freedom to choose whether you want to look at yourself in the mirror during your hair service or not. We understand that some days a mirror in your face is not what you desire 😎 No explanation needed just come in, have a consultation and then slide it down, easy! Our foldable mirrors can be easily put up at the end of your session. This way, we can have a detailed discussion about the finishing details of your new hair. I want you to have a over all experience where YOU can truly unwind. 🧖🏼♀️ In the picture above, one client choose to have it down and other to have mirror up. No hassle, no questions. Fun fact👇🏻 It took quite the search to find the right ones, just when I was about to give up and start panicking about what I was going to do, I found myself walking through a shopping centre for some needed aircon in Bali and just like that there they where in a beauty supply shop, we bought them so fast our heads spun! Funny, I bitched and moaned about the area we where in and wanted to get out of there as fast I could but when I saw that shop in the shopping mall I knew that is exactly where I was ment to be! I highly recommend them if you work on the road, or just needing a foldable option. Japanese brand MASMAI Very grateful they where found.

She’s gone , the karma sign was next to go- there’s always a story behind things - example the sign . Years ago having just recently moved to this small town, two ladies came into my wee fly shop asking for donations of 20 bucks for a local children’s outside play area of swings, climbing stuff, I donated what I could only at a squeeze 100 bucks and apologised knowing the cost of just bolts and nuts, they were floored, as no one had given them more than 20 , which actually shocked me , one woman asked me why the signs behind the counter were not up , I explained I was hoping to ask a local farmer , she giggled and said “I own that land go for it “ and so I got permission , a bit a kindness and great Karma eh! Gotta love that . 🐶😊🎣👍. #stussuperiorflies #nzflyfishing #atholnz #garstonnz #southlandnz #nz #flyfishnewzealand #nzflyfishing #trout #catchandrelease #flyrod #sageflyfish #flycasting #flycast #browntroutflyfishing

I squinted my eyes in the spring sunshine to make out the speck in the distance to see if it was my cabin for the night. I had underestimated the distance from the car and the straps from my badly chosen bag were digging painfully into my shoulders as the wind tried to push me off the muddy trail. I trudged on and the speck turned into a dot and then grew slowly into a tiny cabin as my feet moved me forward, slipping on mud and brushing through the long grass. I arrived at last and felt the solitude all around me, until the wind whipped it quickly away and the sun sat on the deck with me as a huge hare hopped by . . . #southland #southlandnz #garston #garstonnz #athol #queenstown #queenstownnz #queenstownlive #queenstownholidays #nzhiking #nzhikes #hikenz #hikingtrailsnz #nzhikingadventures #queenstownhikes #southlandhikes #hikingsouthland #newzealandhikes #newzealandhiking #welcomerock #welcomerocktrails #slatehutwelcomerock #newzealandfinds #newzealandguide #newzealandlife #newzealandvacations #newzealandtrip #newzealandtravel #newzealandadventures #newzealandphotography

Kiwis around the country are marking Matariki tomorrow on Friday, July 14, this year. The star constellation Matariki heralds a new year in sync with our seasons, and how Māori lived in tune with the environment. Māori use the name Matariki to describe the entire cluster of Pleiades. The different names of the whetu (stars) in the Matariki group are significant to Māori, as each individual has a defined purpose and is intrinsically connected with the Māori world. The clear skies of Southland are a great place to view the constellations ✨💫 #aroundthemountainscycletrail #Matariki

Recognizing that what we see is only the tip of the iceberg can lead to greater empathy, understanding, and curiosity. It reminds us to approach others and situations with an open mind, there is always more to discover. It encourages us to ask questions, listen deeply, and seek to understand the hidden depths that lie beneath the surface. So, the next time you find yourself making assumptions or judgments based solely on what you see, remember the iceberg metaphor. Remember that there is always more to the story, more to the person, and more to the situation than meets the eye. Embrace the curiosity to explore the depths and uncover the hidden truths that lie beneath. #greatful #lumsdennz #queenstown #frankton #invercargill #hairdressernz #nzhairdresser #loveyourboss #iceberg #quotes #atholnz #garstonnz #wintonnz

Revenant 2023 Race Report #Repost @aerobicedge with @use.repost ・・・ A little Race Report from Revenant 2023. This was @revenantnz number 3 for me and number 5 since the event began. To finish the race you must complete 4 loops (14 checkpoints each) within 60 hours. Every loop is in the opposite direction to the previous one. In the months leading up to the race, competitors (limited to 40) receive newsletters with clues regarding any course changes or curveballs that could be included in the race. So far in the races history there has only been 4 finishers - 2019 - zero finishers 2020 - 3 finishers 2021 - 1 finisher 2022 - zero 2023 - zero Anyway back to race day 2023! Everyone meets at the woolshed at Welcome Rock Thursday 3pm for race briefing. Here we are given our maps with checkpoints (9 new checkpoints, 5 the same from 2022). We are also given a time to be at the Ski Hut 7.40pm for our race start which ends up being 9.30pm. Also at the briefing we are given a playing card which we must bring to the start line. From the newsletter clues a number of us are thinking that the competitors will be split into two groups and sent in opposite directions. We are thinking one group will be red and one black. I draw 7 Diamonds and immediately notice a number of experienced entrants @adventurian @runningbeastnz and @toffs_trails draw black! I guess they won’t be much help to me now 😂 With the briefing done everyone gets busy with last minute planning/packing and eating. Once up at the ski hut the atmosphere is awesome as only Revenanters will know and is a very cool experience. Last minute things like having your cellphone sealed in a courier bag and placed in the bottom of your pack is done. Using your cellphone is an immediate DQ and is only for emergency or once you have decided that your race is over. No electronics/no watches only map/compass are allowed.
