Good Issue 52 January / February 2017의 목차

Pamela McIntosh Pamela is the beauty editor across Tangible Media’s women’s lifestyle titles Good, New Zealand Weddings, Living Well and Little Treasures. She says her must-have beauty accessory is a beautiful mindset. “We are all beautiful in our own unique way, and it begins from the inside – a good heart, good nutrition, confidence… make-up and a good hair day are just the icing on the cake.” For summer, Pamela recommends a mineral sunscreen and a weekly at-home face mask. Check out her beauty trends story on page 46. Fionna Heiton From an early age in her native Scotland, Fionna dreamed of far-flung destinations. Her most adrenaline-filled travel experiences include catching the last bus to Beijing airport after the Tiananmen Square massacre and being chased by a wild elephant in…

Good magazine and Loveblock wines invite you to a movie night out for a private screening of Hidden Figures, directed by Theodore Melfi and starring Academy Award-winning Octavia Spencer (The Help), Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monai, Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst and Jim Parsons. It follows three African-American women who provide NASA with important mathematical data needed to catch up in the Space Race and launch the programme’s first successful space mission – sending astronaut John Glenn on a complete orbit around earth. While working in the segregated West Area Computers division of Langley Research Center, the women climb the ranks of NASA alongside many of history’s greatest minds. This is their story – about crossing all gender, race, and professional lines, with their brilliance and desire to dream big, making…

Few conscious labels have impacted the international fashion scene with the buzz and attention of Maggie Marilyn, the eponymous label from 22-year-old Auckland graduate Maggie Hewitt, launched in late 2016. The term “overnight success” is oft overused and misplaced, but in Hewitt’s case it’s a fitting descriptor. The Whitecliffe University fashion graduate’s first collection was quickly praised by retailers and press during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, most notably scoring a global online exclusive with Net-a-Porter – the only time the influential retailer has ever bought a designer’s inaugural collection. With many pieces selling out within 48 hours of launching on the site, the label’s meteoric rise was confirmed. Hewitt’s conscious backbone is something the designer has cultivated from the beginning of her university studies. “My whole graduate collection at Whitecliffe…

Chia seed anti-inflammatory “While chia is super-nourishing and hydrating, the real kicker is the anti-inflammatory benefits,” says Erica Andersen, Goodness brand manager. “Your skin feels healthy, like it’s just drunk a big ol’ green smoothie, and it will help to calm and soothe skin.” Fastabsorbing chia has been a hit and now features in a plethora of skin-loving serums and lotions. Andersen says that the specific oil they use – sourced from a mountainous, volcanic region in South America - has a proven 3:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids, which sets it apart from other oils. 01 Antipodes Chia & Kiwi Seed Superfood Serum, $54; 02 Goodness Certified Organic Chia Seed Oil, $24. White tea anti-ageing White tea is the least processed type of tea (less…

Melodic chanting drifts on the breeze as we stroll through the historic central Bhutan township of Trongsa. Following the sound, we turn a corner to find ourselves in an ancient courtyard filled with dancing women in bright traditional costumes. They are celebrating the appointment of the region’s new representative for Bhutan’s king, or penlop. One of the dancers proudly introduces us to her husband, the new penlop, and before we know it, we are posing for photos with him. It is one of many unexpected experiences during our two-week tour around this tiny mountainous kingdom, which is a third of the size of the North Island, and is nestled in the Eastern Himalayas between India and Tibet. Never colonised, Bhutan remained totally isolated until the mid-1970s, when its borders slowly…

Some of the examples of the She Sheds on New Zealand properties - from well-organised art studios and immaculate personal libraries to calming sanctuaries to escape to for some undisturbed time. The options as to what you can transform your She Shed into are endless. Visit sheshed.co.nz for more ideas. A place of seclusion, tranquility, planning, creativity… in today’s fast-paced world, and amongst our often cluttered spaces, many of us yearn for that personal space promising such an ideal. While having the luxury of an unoccupied area or spare room at home is often unlikely, creating a space of your own is still easily within reach. That’s where a She Shed comes in – your personal kit-set shed that’s easy to assemble, affordable and arrives within days of your order…

You need For the macramé hanger · twine or other thick string · scissors · tape measure (optional) For the plants · succulent or small herb plant · small pebbles · coir (coconut fibre) or sustainably harvested sphagnum moss · potting mix · clean glass jar Macramé is an ancient craft dating from Babylonian times. At its most basic, twine or string is cut into lengths and retied using a series of knots. But macramé can also be very ornate, involving hundreds of tiny twists, a variety of knots and incorporate beads, shells and other embellishments. It was used by 13th-century Arabian weavers and was popular in Victorian England as a means of making intricate lace for curtains, tablecloths, bedspreads, doilies and coasters. Sailors of old used macramé to weave ropes and hammocks. Hippies in the 1970s hung decorative macramé on their walls, carried knotted and…

Strawberry Salad with Black Pepper and Pine-Needle Vinegar This is one of the best ways to eat strawberries, as far as we’re concerned! Pine-needle vinegar or homemade balsamic has a fabulous flavour, not to mention nutritional punch. Combining strawberries with freshly ground black pepper and vinegar really intensifies their flavour. This salad is great served alongside both sweet and savoury dishes, and any leftovers make a fabulous addition to your morning smoothie or can be blitzed and poured into ice-block moulds. Evergreen pine needles are rich in vitamin C and oozing with antibacterial properties — just the thing to prevent or treat colds and sore throats. Gathering pine needles is a wonderful weekend activity for the family. Serves 2 2 cups fresh, in-season strawberries, hulled slosh of Pine-Needle Vinegar (opposite)…

Plant-powered smoothies are full of goodness. This one is thirstquenching as well as a great way to inject more greens into your day, and you'll find its vibrant colour irresistible. I liken this smoothie to summer in a glass; sweetened just enough with pineapple and banana, its hero ingredient is the fresh, young coconut, which is soft in texture. As well as having a lovely flavour, coconuts contain antibacterial properties. I always drink my smoothie slowly and mindfully, savouring the goodness, whereas my five-year-old son Finn slurps his up in seconds, leaving behind a cute green moustache. Sometimes Finn requests this smoothie after school, saying, “I’ll have that green one with the pineapple, okay Mum?” So I raid our spinach patch and whip it up, the whole process taking only…

For many of us, Sunday is a day of rest. Bookended by busy Saturday and frantic Monday, Sunday signals the end of the week and a chance to catch our breath before getting back on the treadmill. It’s the ideal day for brunch – and luckily for Cantabrians, there’s a place in Sydenham that specialises in brunch. Hello Sunday has its origins in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Local therapists Yasmeen Clark and Jonathan Spark were looking for new premises to house their Pascha wellness centre when they stumbled across two heritage buildings side by side in Sydenham. Around the same time, local hospitality aficionados Chris Penny and Sam Stewart were mulling over the idea of introducing a brunch restaurant to the Christchurch café scene. Spark offered them the use of…

The word “adventure” brings to mind thrill-seeking activities like bungee jumping, but adventure is much broader than that. Being adventurous represents anything you do that pushes you outside your comfort zone. Think about weekend activities, food, books, podcasts, recreational classes, restaurants, travel, even TV shows you wouldn’t usually choose but have an interest in. Adventure can mean spending time with people who have a completely different world view to you, or learning about another culture. Balancing a busy life with challenging yourself Sticking with the familiar is less exhausting. The key is to find your adventure sweet spot. When I travel I tend to return to places I already know and love, but I do try and do at least one new activity each trip, and mix it up by…

At the recent Sustainable Business Network Conference I was struck by something Avram Deitch of Yealands Wine Group said during a panel discussion about Purpose in an Age of Authenticity, and how to instill purpose at the core of your business. He said, “There’s a differentiation between passion and purpose. Passion is what gets you up in the morning – it’s what gets you fired up for the day. Purpose is the lens that you push your passion through." That resonated with me and got me thinking about personal purpose too because my job as editor of Good fills me with this. I’m grateful every day to work on a publication with a conscious-living ethos that is perfectly aligned with my own. I live, breathe, eat Good because I’m just…

Next time you pass a L’Occitane store pause for a moment to think not only about the luxurious natural ingredients contained within the products for sale, but also who grew and harvested those ingredients and where they came from. Do this and you will most certainly cross the threshold because L’Occitane is a global company that truly cares about people and the planet, and is doing its bit to look out for both. Caring is key to the French skincare and fragrance brand and one of the driving reasons behind its global success. When you start from a place of caring about the product you are creating, the environment from which you are taking something from and the people involved, while staying true to that commitment, as L’Occitane has done…

Dave Williams, 31, has always had a passion for the outdoors and is currently midway through a challenge that he set himself – Sea2Summit7. His goal is to become the first person to climb the highest mountain in each continent from the nearest feasible coastline. To date he has conquered four of the seven summits – Mt Kosciuszko, Australia; Mt Kilimanjaro, Tanzania; Mt Aconcagua, Argentina; and Mt Elbrus, Russia. In April [2017] he flies to Alaska to climb Mt Denali which is an estimated 19-day walk and 21-day climb. In December his sights are set on Vinson Massif along the ice shelf coast to the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. Then in 2018 he’ll begin training for the seventh summit and the roof of the world, Mt Everest in Nepal –…

August the 8th, 2008 is a momentous day that Peter Yealands looks back on with fond memories. After years of developing his seaside property in Marlborough, Yealands Estate Winery was officially open for business. With the opening achieved, Yealands next set his sights on three clear goals: To be in the top handful of wine producers in New Zealand; to have made the best sauvignon blanc in the world; and to be the world’s most sustainable wine maker. It was ambitious, but the wine novice and self-confessed “Jack of all trades and master of none” had only one response: “Never say it can’t be done.” It’s the mantra Yealands has always lived by. “Anyone who says something can’t be done obviously hasn’t tried,” he says. “I have always been an…

“We learnt that anything is achievable, all you need to do is make those first steps and then continue taking steps.” Adele Harris This is a couple who live and breathe adventure with purpose. After witnessing the devastation of the Nepal earthquake, Adele Harris, 26 and fiancé Carl Hutchinson, 30 wanted to help, and sought to walking the length of New Zealand while raising money for the cause. How did your journey to walk the length of New Zealand for charity evolve? Adele: We left the United Kingdom in November 2014 on a one-way ticket to India to travel, with a working holiday visa for New Zealand afterwards. We always knew we were going to come here, but we didn’t really have any set plans – just to work and…

An easy way to make an open set of shelves look good is to have barely anything on them – just a few carefully curated objects placed within an artful distance of each other. It’s a simple styling trick that works well in catalogues and Pinterest Land, but not necessarily in real life. Even less so in your studio or craft space. One of the advantages of open shelving is that it enables you to keep everything off the floor and within easy reach. It’s generally also a more cost-effective option than fitted shelves. The flip side is that in making the most of available storage the tendency is to cram more and more things on the shelves. Most creative activities require the collection of certain materials and those supplies…

@goodmagazinenz good.net.nz goodmag goodmag I took your excellent magazine on holiday with me to Madagascar. It was a great read on the internal flight (about the only time I had to sit and read!), especially the tips for living a good life. Pip Grant I was lucky enough to win a year’s free subscription to your magazine as a raffle prize at a fundraiser I attended for my grandchildren’s preschool. I can honestly say I had not heard of your magazine prior to this. I received my first issue on Thursday. I couldn’t put it down. I loved it. The articles are so varied and interesting. It is like a breath of fresh air. I have already purchased two of the products advertised in the magazine. Once my year’s free…

Bug Lab is on from December 10 – April 17, 2017. For more see tepapa.govt.nz. There is a lot to learn about the genius of bugs – the intricate creatures who have evolved on earth for hundreds of millions of years. Often overlooked and easily dismissed, humans are only just beginning to discover their secrets, and now thanks to Te Papa Museum’s new extraordinary exhibition, Bug Lab, exploring the world of bugs has never been more exciting. Following the success of the exhibition Gallipoli: The scale of our war, Te Papa’s Head of Design Ben Barraud has again joined forces with Sir Richard Taylor of Weta Workshop for the unprecedented, visually immersive science exhibition. Both the works of art and the stories behind them are beyond the imagination, says Dr…

Glass clinking. Cans rattling. Hard plastic wheels on concrete. If you didn’t remember what day it was, the loud reminder trundling past your window will jog your memory. It’s been a fortnight and the recycling bins are out; full to their brim too – one would think everyone’s a committed recycler. And why wouldn’t you be? The process has become so simplified it’s merely a quick clean then ‘which bin do I put this in?’ decision. However, no matter the efforts to reduce waste in our country, we’re still dumping far too much for our own good. New Zealand puts around 2.5 million tonnes of waste a year into landfills. The issue with this is that decomposing waste generates greenhouse gases. The gases become hazardous as they penetrate groundwater and…

Having purpose is a great motivator. It drives us but also lights us up when we are doing something we truly believe in. Following a purposeful path – something that has meaning for you and gets you springing out of bed each morning – makes for a richer life that not only inspires you but those around you too. It’s infectious in a good way! Civil rights leader, mentor to Martin Luther King Jr and philosopher Howard Thurman put it best when he said, “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” For this issue, Good sought out people in our community who are living their purpose and asked them to…

Eoin Finn, founder of blissology yoga, remembers his first “bliss” moment. He was six years old and in the wilderness in Canada. He recalls the stillness, looking up at the night sky and feeling the warmth of a camp fire. “I was filled with this deep sense of awe, joy, gratitude and reverence that nature opened up in me. Blissology is really a movement based on explaining what happens in these moments,” he says. The 48-year-old yoga and meditation teacher, who has close to 30 years’ experience in these disciplines, travels the world teaching yoga, is a headline act at health festivals internationally (including the upcoming Wanderlust in Taupo in February – see pages 16 and 17) and is a global ambassador for activewear brand Lululemon. His mission is to…

A visit to Dunedin’s Tunnel Beach is guaranteed to spark your sense of adventure – and imagination. Every time I come here I feel as though I’ve stepped into the pages of an Enid Blyton mystery or the Cornish setting of Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn. The hand-carved tunnel cut into the 60 metre-high cliff that leads you down to a wild, boulder-strewn beach is the type of secret passage often written about by Blyton. And standing atop the peninsula as the ocean sweeps around it is awe-inspiringly beautiful and spine-tinglingly thrilling. Yes, this is Central Otago, not the Cornish cliffs of England, but the windswept and wave-beaten dramatic landscape holds a sense of mystery. Tunnel Beach is easy to get to, though the path there and back is quite…

Many New Zealand women are extraordinarily creative – finding time to knit, felt, sew, write, upcycle, mosaic, photograph, paint, collect, frame, collage, slump glass and a raft of other artistic and productive endeavours. While some manage to channel their artistic passion into a paying career, others opt to squeeze art or craft projects into spare moments, allowing an outlet for what their day job doesn’t otherwise provide. Meanwhile, a growing number of women are discovering the additional joys of having a dedicated personal space of their own – separate from the main house – as a place to work, meditate, think and create. Making space ‘She sheds’, as they are sometimes known, are women’s answer to the ‘man cave.’ These personal spaces come in a huge variety of sizes and…

If you had to name a European country with wines that are dirt cheap, often made from organically grown grapes, and that offer good quality and loads of diversity, which one would it be? It was the leading European wine exporter to New Zealand in 2016 and its low-priced, easy to pronounce, high-quality wines are on a roll, as new statistics show. It’s not France. It’s not Italy, Germany or Portugal either. And while we’re playing the elimination game, Eastern European wine imports to New Zealand are abysmally small, so that leaves us with… Spain. This vast, arid country has a treasure trove of wines made from grape varieties that are rarely seen in other places, such as Tempranillo, Mencia and Garnacha. There’s also growth in good-quality, low-priced whites too,…

In the western world we are essentially “overfed but undernourished”, meaning it’s incredibly easy to get the basic calories our bodies need for energy production, but very difficult to get the nutrients (vitamins and minerals) our bodies need for health. Minerals and vitamins are key to our health and involved in just about everything including hormone production, immunity, growth and repair. Our metabolic pathways are dependent on them acting as coenzymes for the enzymes involved in extracting energy from our diet. How do we get as many minerals and vitamins as possible? Enter the humble vegetable garden! Not only has our diet changed in the last 100 years, but our agricultural systems have too. I became aware of this when doing my Master’s degree in nutrition. When I studied which…

Taking small steps, and celebrating those wins as you go, is the secret to achieving your goals. I love setting big goals because they allow me to focus on where I want to head. If I set targets that are within arm’s reach, then they won’t mean as much to me as bold and meaningful goals that require grit. People often feel overwhelmed by goal-setting. I get that. But that’s a good thing: goals can scare you into action. The trick is to break goals down into bite-sized pieces. Goal-setting works backwards. First, visualise what you want to achieve and then work out steps to get there. Remember to enjoy the journey and reward yourself with each milestone. It’s the little changes along the way that eventually add up. For…
