Methven Home Spa
Methven has designed a way for all of us to turn our showers into our own personal sanctuaries with their new Home Spa range. By attaching a shower infusion pod to your existing shower and inserting one of the shower infusion cartridges you can create a spa ritual in your own shower, every day.
Urbis has a Methven Home Spa Starter Kit to give away, which includes the shower infusion pod and two shower infusion cartridges. To enter, email peta.nichols@agm.co.nz with the name of one of the key ingredients in the Methven Home Spa products (answer on website) by June 4.

The Scene
The Scene delves within the empty narcissism of contemporary pop culture and the savage economies of sex. Telling the story of Charlie – a man financially dependant on his wife, self-medicating his premature emasculation by ranting about the shallow lifestyle he still covets – who meets Clea – a trophy wife in waiting with a vocabulary ripped straight from facebook. Observe how unreality bites. On at the Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre, Auckland, from 28 May – 27 June.
Urbis has a double pass to giveaway to the opening performance on tonight, 28 May, 8pm. Email peta.nichols@agm.co.nz by 3pm, 28 May, with the names of the two main characters to be in to win.
