Giveaway: A delicious Dry & Tea and Pureology package

I have been known to rave about boutique grooming bar Dry & Tea both here and in my Ponsonby News column, and can honestly say that it really is my new Happy Place. That is not a title I bestow on a location lightly - and certainly not usually after just one visit! – but this serene spot quite literally blew me away from day one.

As soon as you set foot into its tranquil Newmarket, Auckland premises you feel welcome, as well as lulled into a sense of peace by it’s wonderful shades, smells and furnishings (a fur rug gets me EVERY time!). Dry & Tea the brainchild of Louise Pilkington, former owner of Servilles Ponsonby and designer and co-founder of Loumina jewellery, and is described as “a boutique blow wave bar and teahouse”.

It’s the ideal place to spend a few hours of quality ‘me’ time, or just to drop in for a professional ‘up do’ or nail paint. They also apply false lashes for you with a true expert’s touch, and offer vouchers for that special someone who needs a treat. I experienced one of the best blow waves I’ve had in recent memory there, and once also left with a set of perfectly painted nails using the company’s own brand of polish (Truth & Lies is the ideal ‘Greige’ and a new weekend favourite).

So it is with great joy that I’d like to announce a Dry & Tea giveaway here, in the form of a very tasty package. With a total value of $140.00, the winner of this competition will have in their hot little hands:

A guaranteed badass Blow Wave at Dry & Tea

A Quick Lick Nail Polish Service at Dry & Tea

A Pureology Shampoo to compliment their hair type

Pureology Conditioner to compliment their hair type

That’s one hell of a good time right there in my opinion! To enter, visit and 'like' Dry & Tea's Facebook page or ‘share’ it with your friends if you already know how fabulous they are, leaving a comment telling them Ms. Helene sent you. Easy at that, and one stellar package could be yours!

The competition ends on February 15 at 5pm so get to it!
