A very few pioneer New Zealand families have lived and farmed their land for six, even seven generations. These New Zealanders and their stories, shaped by the land itself, are an important part of the history of Aotearoa. This is the story of one such family whose forebears, Charles and Elizabeth Matthews, arrived in 1842 on the sailing ship London. They settled first in Wellington but, drawn by the pull of the land, moved to Wairarapa and purchased the first acres their descendants still farm today. Seven generations have lived on Waiorongomai. Diaries written by Alfred Matthews, the memoirs of his grandson, Jack, and tape recorded conversations with more recent members of the family, all play a part in this history. It is the story of a family devoted to its farming, the development of one of the country's leading Romney sheep studs and the passing on of a love of the land from one generation to the next. It is also dedicated to all the men and families who have worked on Waiorongomai over the last 160 years.

Doesn’t last long
Color: DR HAZELNUT BROWN, Color: DR HAZELNUT BROWN
I love a synthetic wavy wig but this one didn’t even last the entire weekend like most do. Look very cute the first day but after that it just didn’t do what I needed it to do any

All eyes on you!
Color: DR2GDNHN, Color: DR2GDNHN
I didn't love this wig straight out of the box but after trimming the wig to frame my face and brushing out the curls (I love big hair), I absolutely fell in love with this unit. I've received so many compliments. Wig does tangle but after applying product the curl pattern returns. Will definitely purchase again!

BioYessssssss
Color: Caviar PDRN, Color: Caviar PDRN
I was honestly impressed after just one use of the Biodance Caviar PDRN Eye Patches. The difference in my under-eye area was noticeable almost immediately—my skin looked brighter, smoother, and more refreshed, like I had actually gotten a full night of sleep. It gave my eyes that well-rested, radiant look that usually takes multiple products to achieve. What really sets these patches apart is how well they stay in place. Unlike so many other eye patches that constantly slide down and need readjusting, these adhere perfectly and stay put the entire time. I can go about my routine without worrying about them slipping off. Between the instant brightening effect and the secure fit, these have quickly become a standout in my skincare routine.

These are a winner!
Color: Caviar PDRN
These are some of the best under eye masks! I have friend about 35 different ones and these are slightly textured so they do not slip as much as a lot of the other ones! They are thin and very hydrating!!
