Kelly Tarlton's

I went to Seahorse Kingdom at Kelly Tarlton's and loved it! So they have kindly given us two Family passes, each for two adults and two children, to give away.

It's in honour of 2012 being the Year of the Dragon, so where better to see a real live dragon than underwater at their seadragon exhibit. It is the only aquarium in the world to exhibit the Spiny Sea Dragon which is found in deep water locations such as Milford Sound.

It's a conservation-based, educational exhibit with spiny seadragons and seahorses and info-packed videos that the children will find fascinating. And of course, you'll get to see penguins, sharks, stingrays as well as many, many more fabulous fish.

SodaStream Pure

We all know recycling is good for the planet, and us, so why isn’t the message getting through? On average, only 23% of plastics were recycled in New Zealand over recent years. More worryingly, approximately 252,000 tonnes of plastic waste appears in landfills across the country every year.

To tackle this head on, SodaStream will be out and about across New Zealand this summer to help show Kiwis how many bottles end up as landfill, and promote an alternative to the plastic bottle and aluminium can consumption that is on the rise globally.

The SodaStream Cage, on tour from late January, will be filled with empty beverage cans and bottles, representing the average number a Kiwi household uses in a three-year period. All of which could be replaced with one reusable SodaStream bottle. One SodaStream gas cylinder makes 30 litres or 80 cans of soft drink, which can then can be re-filled and reused.

And New Zealand is not alone, 340 billion bottles and cans are not recycled every year worldwide. With one bottle taking 450 years to decompose, the time has come for New Zealanders to do their bit and help free the world from bottles!

The SodaStream Cage will kick off its tour by filling the cage with bottles at Bloom Family Festival in Matakana on 20-22nd January, and then will be stopping at popular regional events and SodaStream stockists around the country to demonstrate the extent of the plastic waste problem in New Zealand.

SodaStream is the best option for every New Zealand soda lover who cares about our environment. SodaStream has six styles of machines and with a wide range of over 25 flavours available, something is sure to tickle everyone’s tastebuds. Join the SodaStream eco-friendly force on Facebook - www.facebook.com/SodaStreamNZ or online at www.sodastream.co.nz

We have a SodaStream Pure worth $189 to giveaway!

ROMANTICS ANONYMOUS

We have 5 double passes to ROMANTICS ANONYMOUS, a delightful and delicious French romantic comedy!

Chocolate-making brings two sensitive, anxiety-ridden people together in this delicious retro romantic comedy starring Benoît Poelvoorde (Coco avant Chanel) and Isabelle Carré. ‘I have no problem with women,’ chocolatier Jean-René assures his therapist. ‘They just terrify me, that’s all.’

He masks his affliction by giving abrupt orders to his chocolate factory staff and hiding in his office. When Angelique, also acutely timid, drums up the courage to apply for a job at the factory, she’s under the mistaken impression she’ll be doing what she does best: making chocolates.

Her role is in fact to market the wares and boost declining sales, an excruciating task for a person who faints when praised and has developed peculiar strategies to mask her praiseworthy talents.

Directed by Jean-Pierre Améris. Starring Benoît Poelvoorde, Isabelle Carré (, Lorella Cravotta, Lise Lamétrie, Swann Arlaud, Pierre Niney.

Romantics Anonymous is in cinemas from 16 February 2012.
