i, and welcome to this special showcase of Investigate's HERS magazine. We have something very fresh and unique to offer that will create a new connection between readers and advertisers. Brooke Fraser What drives her? With Investigate celebrating its 11th birthday this February, we felt GUILT-FREE SUNTAN New medical studies push it was time for the magazine's biggest makeover in a decade. Gone is benefits of sunbathing THE ONLY CHILD ON EARTH the old conservative layout, replaced instead with a vibrant new look The world’s rarest illness, and the little boy fighting it that tightly targets content to reach the male and female demographics indepenGold Rush dently, yet within the one magazine. Is this a good time to cash in your jewellery? How do we do that? As you'll see when the print edition hits the newsstands MUGGED shortly, HERS is a double-header – flip it over and you'll find HIS magazine. Two While Top Cop Turned His Back: An Auckland Woman’s Ordeal magazines in one. Not attached merely by a strip of glue and some bad cling-wrap, MAGAZINES but integrated as one complete magazine with two front covers. Investigate's HERS in one is a women’s magazine with substance, and style, and a unique twist. FLIP OVER FOR MORE PLUS BEAUTY, DECOR, CUISINE, TRAVEL, FAMILY, BUSINESS & MORE Inside its at least 128 pages (our templates cover editions of up to 208 pages) are two entire magazines dedicated to their respective demographics in a way that has never been done before. By incorporating a men's magazine as part of a women’s magazine without sacrificing their respective environments, not only are advertisers going to see a much higher reach into the men’s market than they’re currently achieving, but many women will for the first time get the chance to not just peruse a men’s magazine but to influence the purchasing decisions of the men in their life who read it. The award-winning team behind Investigate continue to deliver quality journalism (indeed, nearly all the features in this HIS/HERS showcase are drawn from past issues of Investigate) but in a much more sit-upand-take-notice package. Who is a typical HERS reader? She's many women – a career executive, a mother, a wife, a partner. She is a woman in demand, sophisticated, stylish, discerning and savvy, and knows how to get things done. She desires things of beauty around her, wants balance, and to know her family are taken care of. She wants achievement and success; love and friendship. She’s a woman of substance who knows beauty is generated by how she’s feeling and interacting with the world, and enhanced by the products she chooses. Whether she’s working, or a mother, or both, she wants to feel great and to have things and ideas that stimulate and engage her. The HERS reader also wants to be informed, and to be ahead of the pack. Whether she's in business or running a household or both, she's looking for the inside story on major events, something deeper than the mainstream media can offer. She's also looking for intelligent debate – she might not always agree with it but she'll appreciate the to-and-fro and the way opinions are argued. HERS is a magazine driven by big, vibrant photos; snappy, interesting and relevant stories and a huge range of opportunities to showcase new products, fashions and accessories. The blending of feminine and masculine into one magazine, while retaining the individuality of each, mirrors the secret of a successful relationship. There is no dominance, only choice. For the hundreds of thousands of men who read women’s titles on the sly but wouldn’t be seen buying them, the format of HERS magazine is a blessing. For the hundreds of thousands of women who occasionally yearn for something more than women’s titles generally offer, likewise the ready access to HIS will complement HERS. And the special “inside covers” that preface each major section also make this new title much easier to navigate, as well as providing premium advertising opportunities for those categories.

The new Mazda3. The only car considered better than a Mazda3.
When we unveiled the Mazda3 in 2004, it soon became the number one choice of car in its class, setting new benchmarks for design, performance and handling. The only question was, could we make a great thing even better? The answer lies in the new Mazda3. Beyond the stylish new exterior you’ll find improvements to the interior that include enhanced trims, greater boot space and refinements normally found in a much larger, more expensive European, like cruise control, premium audio with MP3 BlackwoodKing0212
compatibility and a spacious cabin. Naturally safety matters, so we’ve increased the overall body rigidity, upgraded the braking systems and added a seatbelt reminder system to ensure the wellbeing of all occupants. But the real success story lies in the newgeneration MZR engines which feature Sequential Valve Timing and Electronic Throttle Control, offering refined performance and handling. All of which means there are now even more reasons to feel good about the new Mazda3.
To experience it for yourself, call 0800 800 626, go to www.mazda.co.nz or visit your local Mazda dealer today. Mazda will also cover Mazda3 service costs for the first three years or 100,000km, whichever comes first. The new Mazda3, available in sedan, hatch and new high-performance MPS. It’s the brilliant Mazda3, made better.

Where have all the good men gone? As fertility rates plummet, men just aren’t committing to relationships and children the way they used to. Is the parenting honeymoon over? WORDS BY DAN DONAHOO; PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALDRA ALEKSIC
M
y colleague shook his head when he heard the news. ‘Bloody good decision,’ he said. ‘I should have had kids younger.’ At 47, he was the father of a seven-year-old and a five-year-old, and was feeling the strain. He told me on more than one occasion that he’d be 63 when his youngest child turned 21. It wasn’t a prospect he was embracing. I was 23, full of energy and ready to tackle fatherhood head-on. For both men and women, there are many benefits in having children at a young age. Women are healthy and more fertile. The likelihood of complications in pregnant women over 35 increases dramatically. Men have more strength and energy, and are not yet set in their childless ways. And both genders carry less of the cynicism that the years seem to pile on. Despite all this, New Zealand men are helping stall the baby-making process. The average age for firsttime dads is 32.5 years: an all-time high. These days, if you are dad in your early 20s, you are on the fringe. Recent projections suggest we will continue to put off having children. Consequently, fewer couples will end up with kids. The Institute of Family Studies estimates that in 2016, more couples will be without children than with. The birth rate has definitely

boarded the down escalator, and the implications could be pronounced. While the statistics strike out, men of all ages are discovering that becoming a dad is an ambition that is never too early, or late to pursue. Young dads might be an endangered species, but they would do well to hear the messages from older men who are finding more in fatherhood than they thought was there. A friend of mine who became a dad at 42 is disappointed he left his run so late. He and his partner won’t be having another child. He now works parttime and shares the care of his daughter, which he says is ‘the bloody toughest and most rewarding gig he has ever had’. He can understand now why he grew up around so many large Catholic families. ‘Creating your own family is a feat greater than anything,’ he says. Men these days are often busy establishing careers and embracing singledom. But, for some, stumbling upon fatherhood has made life more fulfilling and shattered all pre-conceptions that having responsibility for a child is something to fear. I committed to a relationship and having a baby after only knowing my wife for 5 months. In a society where many men turn and run I decided to stand my ground. By not shirking the responsibility my libido had thrust upon me I suddenly found myself more

I think ego is such a limiting term to some degree. Yes, there’s a very thin line that separates ego and pride and enthusiasm for what you do. I mean, when I walk down the streets in New York, is it egotistical that I’m proud to see my name on buildings? Maybe. If it is, I’m fine with that. But if you put your heart into something and work your butt off every single day to make it as good as it can be, and then you stand back and talk about how great it is, is that bad?

lotions and moisturizers from head to toe, day and night. Lip balms lie within reach at home and work. You drink a gallon of water every day. But that routine isn’t working. No matter what you do, your skin feels coarse and prickly – and at least a size too small. What’s the cause? Some people are just born with dry skin; for others, skin gets drier with age, says Doris Day (yes, it’s her real name), a New York City-based dermatologist. Dehydration also could be a side effect of medications you may be taking. And then there’s the weather. “Extremes in temperature, such as going from a cold, windy outdoors to a dry, hot, indoor office, can leave your skin even more dry and uncomfortable,” says Day. And dry skin makes you look older. “Fine lines will appear; previous lines will appear deeper. The skin will have a more uneven texture due to scale and redness,” Day says. “It will be more sensitive to (skin-care products) and the environment. Many people who perceive their skin as sensitive really have dry skin that they are not addressing in the appropriate manner.” Here’s some expert advice on getting that “baby-soft” skin they’re talking about: #1. Know your skin type/condition “If you’re using the wrong products for your skin type, you won’t get any benefit,” says esthetician Sandra Leggett. Look for products specifically for your type. Also, if you haven’t done so in a while (five years or so), update your moisturizers. >>>
