AutoImmune New Zealand – Support for New Zealanders with AutoImmune Disorders - Welcome to AutoImmune New Zealand Developing AutoImmune NZ, was a (personal) response to being diagnosed with an AutoImmune disorder back in 2009.  At the time of diagnosis, it was apparent there was very limited  'accessible' and 'ready to share' information here in New Zealand, about what AutoImmune disorders are, or how traditionally and currently they…

  • Monica Gutierrez - Worth a shot

    I am genuinely surprised by this shampoo....I was skpetical but I do think it has made my hair feel and look thicker. Im not sure if it is an illusion or if my hair is actually growing in (baldling spots dont look so obvious anymore). Either way Im glad that this has helped me feel more confident. Down side is that it is so pricey and the ingredients used aren't hard to come by...Im guessing it cost about $4-5 to make (I make soaps and use many of the ingredients so it's just a rough est)...but the point is that it worked for me.

  • Nell - Great quality videos!

    A great camera - especially for the price. We love to take videos underwater and it's great that it fits easily in my pocket and is very durable. Takes nice videos. We've had it for a year and it's started to act up a tiny bit, but it's still working well

  • Landon Meier - A few have bad reactions & I'm one of them

    It took me the longest time to figure out the cause of my stomach cramps and diarrhea - otherwise the stuff seems to work OK. Just read the reviews - so now I know. I don't think it's worth it. I wish Schiff would have given a heads up for the few of us that have bad intestinal problems.

  • Dana D. - Best tanner I've ever tried for so many reasons!

    Expensive, but worth it in my opinion. I have a toddler and don't have time for anything too fussy to apply, or too long to dry. This stuff does NOT smell bad like other tanners I've tried, it dries super-fast, and the colour is lovely, not orange. It's not dark right away, but since I'm pretty fair, I actually prefer that, so I don't look fake. I can gradually increase it until I find the shade I like, then just maintain. It also makes my skin feel ridiculously smooth and supple. One bottle lasted me a whole season. Buying again!

  • S. Carsrud - It felt almost too real having a gun pointed at my head while being verbally assaulted by a foul mouthed Briton

    The future is here. This is the VR solution that many of us have been dreaming of since the 80s. Its TRON and The Lawnmower Man come to life. Its not quite the Matrix yet but its certainly a step in that direction. The feeling of being transported to another world is amazingly successful. I felt morally challenged in a game that required me to shoot back at people. It felt almost too real having a gun pointed at my head while being verbally assaulted by a foul mouthed Briton. This is game changing technology. A first step into a realm of limitless possibilities.

  • kela2mommy - its exactly what it looks like. i didnt know itwould come with the exfoliating ...

    this mat was okay. its exactly what it looks like. i didnt know itwould come with the exfoliating pad, because it doesnt say anywhere in the description that it did. the mat is heavy and thick, it sticks easily to the tub as it hasnt moved since i put it in there. it isnt thick enough to the point where you cant feel the suction cups, but it is comfortable on the feet. i will update later on the exfoliator pad; when i got it, it had a extremely chemical/vinegar smell to it & so i will wash it a couple times before i use. overall, im glad to have it.
