He’s Just Not That Into You
On Wednesday night we held our special preview screening for this flick at the luxe Skycity Cinemas, and it was a total crowd winner. Possibly the ultimate chick flick of the year (and we’re only in February!) this flick is a must see for any nzgirl or nzboy who plans on entering the tricky world that is love. With a stellar cast including Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore and Scarlett Johansson and based on the best selling same named book, the flick follows a group of interconnected couples and singles and their love trials and tribulatinos. With hilarious laughs, food for thought and some weepy (both good and bad) moments, make sure you check this one out! In cinemas now.

Alfa One has released an amazing range of rice bran oils, aioli and a super creamy mayonnaise. The original rice bran oil has been jazzed up to include rosemary, chilli and garlic infused flavours. Think high quality oil, with Vitamin E, no dodgy trans-fats and no cholesterol, but with amazing flavour. There are also three types of aioli; creamy garlic, smoked paprika and my fav, creamy blue cheese. Absolutely delish! Aioli and mayonnaise $4.69 and oil $5.99 from all leading supermarkets.
