It’s that time of the year again and many friends and clients have been asking me lately if I can recommend any good accountants. As it happens, I definitely can. Whether you’re still trying to tidy up the accounts from the last financial year, or wanting to kick the new financial year off on the right foot, good accounting support is worth its weight in gold. If you’re a small business, self employed or a property investor, my pick is the team at Kiwitax.

It’s no secret that website design and development has been a major cause of grief for me over the last three years. But finally, several web design companies later (not to mention thousands of dollars, hundreds of chocolate bars and countless gray hairs!!) I now have a website that is fully functional AND looks great…. and I love it!!
The woman behind showing me that successfully creating a website IS actually possible is the fantastic Belinda Duffy of Duffy Design. Belinda was recommended to me by a friend who had endured three years of my website woes over numerous coffees. And bless her, Belinda took it upon herself to personally guarantee that I would have a positive website experience, resulting in a fantastic website. And she certainly delivered.

I have seen the huge difference firsthand in having a professional makeup artist apply my makeup before a photo shoot. The difference in the end result is incredible – it’s the difference between just looking like you, and you looking polished and professional. So how do we take those professional tips and tricks and apply them to our everyday life? Read More
