About nzgirl

So you’ve stumbled across nzgirl, but what exactly is it, you may be asking?

Since 1999 nzgirl has enjoyed its position as New Zealand’s premier online magazine. We’re the place you come to for everything you might be (or might not be!) getting from a typical print magazine (and so much more) but we’re completely online and totally free.

To get the most out of your nzgirl experience make sure you sign up for the site. This allows you to log into our forums and enter all our great competitions. It also means you can choose to receive email updates from us, which tell you about cool new things on the site and also give you the exclusive on great deals and offers from the brands and companies we deal with. Our target audience is girls in their 20s, but we still have plenty of younger and older visitors...however, we do state that due to the nature of some of our content the site is not suitable for under-16s.

Meet the nzgirl staff...

Jenene Crossan, CEO
Jenene’s role is pretty varied, as CEO she’s responsible for keeping the company going and growing.
Favourite nzgirl section: I love the Hot 5 and hang out for Fridays on the site!
Ultimate indulgence: Time off! It’s amazing how much you cherish the little things when you’re really rushed off your feet with your day to day job. I look forward to being able to get time to have my hair cut or even go for a wax!! Strange, but true…
Favourite holiday spot: My new favourite spot is my parents' place in the Hawke’s Bay. They’ve just bought a great place with all the trimmings that come with years of hard work. Go ma and pa!
Thing you can't live without: My lovely pets - Max and Cheeba. Oh and pinot noir!
Best thing about being an nzgirl: I have the freedom to be who ever and what ever I want to be. We have this amazing country that is a springboard to the world. How cool is that?
My goal for this year: Become the largest media channel for women in NZ!!

Bonnie Frankland, Commercial Director
Bonnie has landed herself the job of sniffing out all the best brands, products and offers that an nzgirl could want. She then puts together ideas around how those brands can advertise on nzgirl. Thanks to those advertisers the site is free to access for all nzgirls. So she helps advertisers tap into the incredible purchasing power nzgirl readers represent. Let’s face it, us girls LOVE to shop. So many products, so little time!
Favourite nzgirl section: The new Interior Design section in lifestyle. I am in the throws of DIY at my new place so it's totally where my head is at. The How to Make a Bed Head article is the PERFECT inspiration for trying something a little different. I'll let you know how mine turns out.
Ultimate indulgence: Getting my nails done. Manicure (french) and pedicure (80s coral colours!). I just love sitting there getting pampered and then enjoying the benefits of my sexy nails for the rest of the week.
Favourite holiday spot: Quarteira Beach, Algarve, Portugal. It represents my ultimate holiday. We stayed in a little chalet on the local campground, set just back from the beach. The water is an amazing shade of blue. The sand is fine, white and goes on forever around an endless and varied coast line. There is a shack on the sand that sells pints of beer from 11am.
Thing you can't live without: My boyfriend, sunshine and Marmite. I have only been foolish enough to try to go without the later two and it's just not fun.
Best thing about being an nzgirl: I walk into the office every day with a smile on my face. That's the most important aspect to any job for me.
My goal for this year: To go for as many swims in the sea as possible! I have been living in London for the past five years and not a day went by when I didn't miss my beach! Plus I want to run 'Round the Bays' (DONE.. but I only walked it... next year I'll run..promise) and complete one 'Ocean Swim' event (DONE!... King of the Bays, 750M swim in 19mins 33sec - YAY!).  Next mission... the South Auckland Duathlon - stay tuned.

Tee Twyford, Editor-in-Chief
Tee is responsible for overseeing the look and feel of the content of the Flossie Media Group sites.
Favourite nzgirl section: They’re all great! I am a long term fan of the Hot 5 and Staff Buys though.
Ultimate indulgence: There are many things that make me happy. Catching a movie all by myself in the comforts of the Lido cinema with a hot chocolate and chocolate icecream. Pampering opportunities definitely rate up there.  A weekend away somewhere nice.
Favourite holiday spot: A close tie between Hahei and Melbourne, both are places I escape to whenever I can (time and bank balance dependant). 
Thing you can't live without: The people around me who make me who I am. My contact lenses. A creative outlet. Laughter!
Best thing about being an nzgirl: The strong female heritage that allows me to be who I want, do what I aspire to do and say what I feel. Make the most of it girls! That and all of the gorgeous beaches!
My goal for this year: Be a kickass editor, spend quality time with my family and friends, develop financial nous and have fun. 2008 is my year (and yours!) Look out!

Ramarea Pedersen, Editor
Ramarea's in charge of living and breathing the nzgirl brand which means working with our fabulous editorial team and contributing writers to come up with articles you want to read. It’s not all hard work though! She gets to go to lots of fun events and her desk is always overflowing with new books, CDs, beauty products and food that she gets sent to try.
Favourite nzgirl section: Postcard From... We've had some awesome postcards from around the world - can't wait until I get to visit some of these places for myself (I'm especially hanging out for New York!).
Ultimate indulgence: Twilight - books and the movie.
Favourite holiday spot: I'm still on the hunt for it!
Thing you can't live without: My awesome friends and family.
Best thing about being an nzgirl: Gorgeous weather (at the moment anway!), friendly people and loads of opportunities.
My goal for this year: To learn as much as I possibly can while working here at nzgirl and to get into some serious saving habits!

Vicky Morgan, Account Manager
Vicky’s responsibilities include Ad Campaign Management, including ad bookings, site trafficking and reporting, invoicing, enquiries, working with Amber to create proposals to meet
client briefs, and working with the editorial team to work out how we can best integrate an advertisers brand into nzgirl.
Favourite nzgirl section: Style
Ultimate indulgence:
Sleeping in on a rainy day with nothing
to do and nothing to spoil the mood!
Favourite holiday spot: Anywhere outside of Auckland really. Give me a beach, some cocktails, some money to spend, and some friends and family to hang out with and I’m sold!
Thing you can't live without: My sanity! It’s really the one thing you ideally have control over – for most of your life anyway!
Best thing about being an nzgirl: Our beautiful surroundings and the opportunity to escape for the weekend to a beach, a bach, or hotel and feel like you’re on holiday.
My goal for this year: To save for the things I want, to further my career, and to experience all that I can, including learning to snowboard and wakeboard!

Name, Title: Angela Palmer, Support Manager
Favourite nzgirl section: The Arts Insider. Inspirational!
Ultimate indulgence: Chocolate and pedicures (have never tried them at the same time but would seriously consider it!)
Favourite holiday spot: Sandy Bay, Northland. This is where my family has a very basic kiwi bach. We’ve been going there for over 20 years. It holds incredible memories, and my children are now enjoying it as much for its location, as for its history and their sense of belonging there. We keep a “visitors book” which we all write in at the end of each holiday – it’s full of funny comments, sketches, and reminders of past holidays.
Things you can't live without: Sparkling mineral water, my husband and children, and most recently our border collie puppy, Tip. She’s a recent and much-loved addition to the family.
Best thing about being an nzgirl: The other nzgirls I get to work with. Honestly, I spend my days surrounded by young, vibrant, intelligent women. And we laugh about stuff – every day! That’s gotta be good for you!
My goal for this year: Keep it simple, stay positive, make time to stop and smell the roses.
