In focus is a fortnightly, online update on things that the focus team has loved. New places we have discovered, food we’ve enjoyed and events that have made us happy – here’s a glimpse into our lives from the past two weeks.
Snorkelling at Poor Knights Islands
Did you know that we have one of the Top-10 diving spots in the world not too far away from the Bay? The place is called Poor Knights Islands and is located in Northland, 22 km offshore from Tutukaka.
Our online editor, Kseniia Spodyneiko, checked out Poor Knights last week and says it was the best snorkelling experience of her life. And, just so you know, the competition was quite strong as she’s previously snorkelled with dolphins in Israel and with giant sea turtles in the Maldives! But the variety and crazy amount of fish swimming in the warm currents around the Poor Knights is like no other. Three large stingrays gracefully swimming around were a very exciting addition to an already awesome scene.
Add all the equipment, paddleboards and kayaks, a delicious lunch and unlimited hot drinks available for the guests of Dive!Tutukaka ‘Perfect Day’ cruise at no extra cost – and here’s a recipe for a truly outstanding day out on the water.
NIVEA Q10 POWER skincare range
NIVEA has developed its most powerful Q10 formula yet. Can you imagine a formula that contains 10x more creatine compared to their previous range?
As we age our skin starts to produce less Creatine and Q10 so our cells perform less effectively. NIVEA Q10 POWER helps our skin to solve these age-related deficits, boosting its natural processes. Creatine and Coenzyme Q10, in this formula, replenish the nutrients in your skin giving it strength to fight wrinkles and fine lines. They work as a perfect combo – while Q10 combats free radicals both within and outside of the cells, Creatine provides an energy booster for skin by retaining moisture.
NIVEA experts promise firmer skin in two weeks and the reduced appearance of wrinkles in four weeks!
Keep an eye on our Instagram page for an upcoming giveaway of some of the products from the new range.
Captain Marvel movie
Captain Marvel marks an important milestone for the Marvel Cinematic Universe because it’s the first female-fronted superhero movie. Needless to say we couldn’t wait to see the most powerful woman in the Universe in action! And the movie certainly doesn’t disappoint. Though the events are happening in the past and give us no real clue of the upcoming events in the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ as we secretly hoped, the movie itself is packed with beautiful scenes, great fights (spoiler alert: Captain Marvel beats them all!) and awesome jokes that all Marvel movies are known for.
A touching and very convincing performance by Brie Larson certainly adds to an overall amazing impression of this film. And can we also mention how cool it is to finally see a superhero with, you know, not too many muscles and an overly thin waistline? Brie makes every kid’s dream to become a superhero and save the planet look so much more realistic!
