Rosemont O
I’m a new convert to this delish wine sparkling wine with a twist - you serve it over ice and in a tall glass! It sounds a little strange, but the combo of sweet bubbles and fresh, crisp ice is perfect! It’s pure, chilled grape goodness in a bottle. At 8%it’s naturally lower in alcohol than most wines, so it's great if you want to enjoy a delicious vino, without the pesky hangover or effects of alcohol (great for the upcoming silly season!). RRP $16.99 available from supermarkets nationwide.
The Body Shop Sparkle Eye Palette
A beautiful, classic eyeshadow palette is a must for any nzgirl’s makeup kit, and the Sparkle Eye Palette from The Body Shop is just that. Coming in two colour combos (one filled with everyday golds and browns, the other with more dramatic night time silvers and blues), each palette contains five smooth, crease-resistant, tropical shades. Each eyeshadow is embossed with a unique and gorgie motif, containing marula oil sourced from Namibia through the unique Community Trade programme – so not only are you doing your makeup bag a favour, you're doing the world some good too! RRP $48 available form The Body Shop nationwide from November 3.
Pawsitively Pets
Nothing’s cuter than cute accessories for super cute pets! Bonnie’s lovely and larger than life labrador Charlie was treated to a darling royal blue collar from PawsitivelyPets. The adorable collar even has the cute name to match, ‘Sailor Sam’ (RRP $19.99). If you’ve got a fur baby you just have to check out Pawsitively for their range of fantastic collars, leads and toys.

New Zealand Women’s Health Magazine
Having been a long time fan of Australian Women’s Health magazine, I was stoked to hear that we were getting our very own NZ version. I was even happier once I read the first edition – it was fantastic, and the latest issue is just as fabulous! The November edition is full of great reads, from rebooting your libido, how to ditch all those naughty addictions, tips on living, working and playing smarter and a look at the best action-ready swimsuits this summer. One of the hottest reads out – alongside nzgirl of course! Want to nab a free subsciption? We're giving away 10 Women's Health prize packs here...
V Sugar Free
If you’re an energy drink addict, you’ll be happy to hear that V has released a new and improved sugar free formula. I normally don’t like the sugar free versions of my fav energy drinks, but this one is an exception. The new formula tastes almost identical to the original V – full of fizz and yummy flavour. V has replaced the controversial Aspartame artificial sweetner with Sucralose, and you can really taste the difference! Look out for the sexy new silver packaging in stores nationwide now.
