The Volvo Ocean Race struck Auckland big time on the weekend. We’re working with Puma providing friendly brand ambassadors for the wide range of activity they have on and around the PUMA Quad on Te Whero Island as well as the amazing Marmo, an octopus on a mission to make the ocean a better place.

Horse racing, pretty dresses, fancy hats, a gelato garden and…an impending weather bomb – a good reminder that no matter how much planning we do there are some things out of our control. Fortunately the clouds cleared, the sun shone, gelato was served and many lovely photos were framed at the Sensodyne Iso-Active Gelato Garden.

Celebrating “summer” the Fresh-Up Big Fizz crew are hitting campuses with thousands of cold cans of the new Lemon Zing flavour and many large tubs of sherbet…

This year students can win an awesome prize pack for their flat worth $15k containing a big screen TV, BBQ and a whole lot more.

Tens of thousands of hacky sacks, frisbees, beach balls etc are now providing wholesome distractions from the strains of study.

Sounds fancy and it feels great, check out their website for all the info – harmonyhomespa.co.nz.
