Every two weeks we share all the stuff we’ve recently enjoyed – from the latest TV shows to must-try foods, gorgeous makeup products and the most exciting spots to visit in New Zealand.
Green Meadows meals
A range of Asian-inspired stir fry meals has been introduced to the market by Green Meadows Beef, a family-owned business based in Taranaki.
While the borders remain closed, people might be missing the tastes of Asian street food, so Green Meadows Beef has created three yummy stir fries – Indonesian Rendang, Korean Gochujang and Chinese Sichuan Pepper – which come in vacuum sealed packs and serve two people.
Dee: “My hubbie loved the Indonesian Beef Rendang. I added a few stir fry vegies, coconut cream and served on a bed of rice and sprinkled over toasted peanuts and thinly sliced red chilli.”
Each meal takes between 5-15 minutes to prepare so it’s a great option for those in a hurry. The stir fries are available at most big supermarkets but a great option is to hop onto their website and create your own beef box from their diverse range of products.
Crema Masque by Bella Vi

At this time of year, cold winds, chilly temperatures and indoor heating all wreak havoc on your skin, stripping it of moisture and accelerating aging.
Do yourself a favour and treat your skin to some extra TLC with a Crema Masque from the Italian-made skincare company, Bella Vi. Their philosophy is focused around bringing your skin to life and with ingredients including Manuka Honey, Sweet Almond Oil, traditional Chinese herbs and antioxidants, their Crema Masque helps improve collagen production, stimulate elastin and helps smooth out fine lines. Yes, please, we want all these results!
Easy to apply and remove, the Masque penetrates the skin and leaves it hydrated and brighter. Bliss!
BioLumin-C Gel Moisturiser, Dermalogica

The BioLumin-C range is hands down our favourite in the entire Dermalogica range. So, it goes without saying, the latest two additions – Daily Glycolic Cleanser and Gel Moisturiser – will be an auto-buy for our team.
BioLumin-C Gel Moisturiser will appear in stores on 20 August and will cost $119.
It provides weightless hydration with the same stable Vitamin C that we love in the award-winning Dermalogica BioLumin-C Serum but this product penetrates a lot deeper into the skin. The moisturiser brightens and hydrates the skin with five different types of hyaluronic acid and uses unique technology that takes the energy from the UV rays and turns it into light on the skin, giving it instant luminosity and a TikTok-worthy ‘glass skin’ look.
