what is important to you? It is interesting what people perceive as important beauty/appearance items when asked to name the three items they couldn’t do without if told they were going to a desert island indefinitely. A cross section of males and females ranging from 52 to 95 years old were asked the question. Oddly only one person asked if they would be there on their own. Their replies follow: Elizabeth - 68 Coconut oil - It can be used internally and externally, hair brush, nail scissors. LAW / BEAUTY I 6 Francis - 73 Sunglasses, hairbrush, nail file. Susie - 63 Moisturiser with sunscreen, mouthwash and lip gloss (Chanel Exotique no 12) Jo - 75 Magnifying mirror, tweezers and sunscreen. Go ask your friends. It can lead to an interesting discussion! JoAN - 95 Dior foundation, Oil of Olay moisturiser and a ‘good’ lipstick. ANNA - 59 & SARA - 62 Oddly two sisters Anna and Sara both chose identical items: moisturiser with sunscreen - particularly for the lips, smudgy charcoal eye pencil and mouth wash. Philip - 69 A huge cake of soap, piksters for cleaning my teeth and an endless supply of mouth wash. Pene - 52 Scissors, mirror, scrubbing brush. Mike - 66 A toothbrush so my teeth aren’t caked in raw fish, moisturiser to keep sun and salted skin from going wrinkly and a comfy pillow so I get my beauty sleep. JOHN - 82 The biggest, thickest supply of loo paper, Laphroaig mouth wash, (for those in the dark, this is actually single malt whiskey and a hairbrush.) CAPACITY WORDS FLEUR MCDONALD As lawyers, we are required to meet with our clients and take their instructions in order to help them complete the particular legal task(s) they are planning. Sometimes when we do this, we need to take a little extra time to consider our clients legal or mental capacity to make decisions. Mental or legal capacity is a client’s capacity to make a decision. Decision making requires that a client: • understands the decision they are having to make • can discuss with us the possible options available to them in a way that shows they appreciate the risk and or benefit of those options • understands the impact that a decision, or the lack of a decision, may have on them or their loved ones • is able to articulate and discuss all of the above with us. It is important to note that the level of capacity required isn’t the same in every situation. For example, to make a Will the test is whether the client knows they are making a Will and the effect of doing so, whether they understand the extent of the assets they are dealing with and finally, whether they comprehend the moral claims which they ought to give effect to. However, when giving instructions to complete Enduring Powers of Attorney the test is whether the client understands the consequences of granting a power of attorney and the nature and effect of the power they are giving. This is the test even in a situation where the client is no longer capable of managing their own affairs. Having these discussions with our clients is difficult. It can be very confronting, both for our clients and for us. In a worst case scenario, our clients can be very offended by us questioning their capacity. This is not our intention. Our intention is to ensure that the legal outcome our clients have set out to achieve, has the best possible opportunity to succeed. We are aware however that if there is a likelihood that our client’s decision might be challenged, one of the first questions that may be raised is whether our client had the capacity required to make the decision in the first place. The best way of mitigating this risk may be for our clients to undertake a capacity assessment prior to completing their legal work. It is best that the assessment be scheduled as close as possible to the appointment to complete the legal work they are contemplated. It is important for us to write to our client’s doctor to explain to them the background of the situation, the legal test that is at issue and to request a detailed report regarding our client’s capacity to make the decision in question. For the reasons discussed above, if you have concerns about your capacity or the capacity of a loved one, it is critical that you obtain advice from a team well versed in dealing with these matters. At Harmans we have a specialist seniors team to help you with any queries you may have. Contact Fleur McDonald on 352-2293 to arrange an appointment to discuss your situation. 1.

As we age the hair on our bodies becomes lighter and sparser, making it even more important to maintain our brows. A well-shaped brow gives a look of confidence and really balances the face and frames the eyes. It’s also said that eyebrows play the most important role in creating the facial symmetry that makes a person look attractive. There have been many trends with eyebrow shapes and colour, but natural and full eyebrows will never go out of style. If you haven’t got a naturally full brow or you’ve had a long history of tweezering, there’s still hope. There are a few products that actually help to repair damaged eyebrows or create an illusion of thicker brows and in recent years specialty eyebrow bars have popped up, offering expert advice and techniques. To get the low-down on what we should be doing with our brows, Kim Mchugh, Brow Artist and Founder of The Eyebrow Bar on Colombo Street gave us the answers; 1> I’ve tweezed my eyebrows to death over the years, is there anything that can be done? Firstly (and most importantly), step away from the tweezers! A daunting concept but totally necessary to give yourself the best chance of rekindling the ‘Brow Love’. Secondly, book an appointment with me and I can recommend a plan to get your brows back on track. It’s advised to not remove any hairs for at least 4 - 8 weeks prior to your appointment, that way I can see what growth is coming back and which areas need TLC. A ‘Custom Colour Brow Tint’ can be a real savior. It can reveal a fuller, more defined brow literally in a matter of seconds in some cases. It’s also great for giving the brows more depth and helps to disguise the greys. There are some fantastic results-based, growth enhancing serums that are especially formulated to encourage the growth in patchy areas. Come and see me to have a chat as they’re not suitable for everyone... if the damage has been done and the follicle is dead, it won’t encourage any more growth but it may help to prevent future hair loss. If you’re not keen on a chemical based product then I also recommend trying Castor Oil or Organic Coconut oil. In my experience, applying this to the brow area can also help stimulate new growth and give a lovely glossy finish to the hairs. Time is also key - be patient. In my experience, it can take anywhere from 4 months - 18 months for the completion of your new ‘Bangin’ Brows’. If you’ve tried all of the above but to no avail, then Microblading is for you. Be very careful when you choose your Microblading technician, it’s paramount that you do your research and always choose a qualified and experienced practitioner who has a solid background in brows. I can’t stress that point enough! 2> Can you tell us what your eyebrow revolution treatment entails? The Eyebrow Revolution is my most popular treatment. It starts with a consultation - we have a chat about your concerns and see what we can do to achieve your brow goals. A brow tint and shape is then performed and brow cosmetics are applied to give them a flattering finish. 3> Who do you consider to have perfect brows? I absolutely adore Cara Delevingne’s brows. They’re naturally amazing and have that untouched look which is my favourite. 4> What are we aiming for with our brows.....there seem to be a lot of full browed girls around at the moment? I’m a fan of natural looking brows. My advice to the readers is this; embrace your natural shape as natural never goes out of fashion. Also, invest in a specialised brow treatment, it’s well worth it. www.theeyebrowbar.co.nz
