Cafe Paris

17Mar10

39 Picton St, Howick, Auckland Good food and great coffee is the bonus in this slightly eccentric cafe where the word minimalism is not understood. Marble topped, wrought iron tables are crammed in and surrounded with mismatched chair – the china does not match, but the ambiance and atmosphere is fun and friendly.  The walls […]


371 Remuera Rd, Remuera, Auckland A true French deli and café has been a crowd pleaser in Remuera since it opened just on a year ago. Superb cheeses, fresh meat, prepared meals, French bakery delicacies, delectable dips and eat-in breakfasts and lunches are the treats in store in this attractive French café.  The brand had […]

The Fridge

507 New North Rd, Kingsland Wow, if my fridge looked like this……  The Fridge has the most amazing array of food and it is all superb.  Their wraps and salad combinations are exceptional and my dining partner, who is a pie connoisseur says the pies are incredible, chocked full of their interesting combination of ingredients.


17 Wellesley St, Auckland City Award-winning café has superb café food – amazing scones, wraps and the best chocolate brownie.  A very small space, but consistently delicious food.

Mascara

04Mar10

Maybelline has been heralded by beauty editors for years as being one of the best mascaras on the market, and it is one of the least expensive.   Now the brand is joining the band wagon for the latest craze, the vibrating mascara. The Maybelline Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara at around $30 is less than half […]


Ohope Golf Club

03Mar10

The café at this golf club must be one of most picturesque in the country and luckily it is open to the public (except Fridays and Mondays). The club rooms and café are on the sandspit at Port Ohope on the Ohiwa Harbour and command panormanic views of the water, White Island and impressive Whale […]


But beware of their practices. The Weekend Herald reports that some nail salons are buying cheap nail polishes from the $2 shops and filling expensive brand bottles, defrauding their customers into thinking they are having their nails painted with a long-lasting reputable polish not a cheap polish that will start chipping the next day. Check […]
