Possibly like half the world we sat up way too late wtaching the amazing tennis final at the Australian Open.   Although we were disappointed when Roger Federer exited at semi-final stage, it was great to see the skills of Djokovic and Nadal as they thrashed away at each other for over 5 hours.

To our minds, Federer is probably the greatest of all time but there’s no doubt Djokovic and Nadal seem to have his measure right now.  But never right him off.

The Women’s final was a bit of a turn-off for us (particularly of the volume control) and had none of the drama the Men’s event delivered.  No sexist attitudes here – but the men  deliver the power and speed that baseline sluggers just can’t match.

On another sportinront it’s been great to see the NZ cricket team (let’s get rid of that childish “Black Caps” name) win two tests in a row.   We were the last team to beat Australia who are now claiming to be the best in the world – it’s only a few weeks since we knocked them off in Hobart so maybe we should be claiming world supremacy??  Dizzy stuff for our boys maybe, but it’s making for a good summer that the weather is doing its best to dampen down.

For a lot of people, it’s just a holiday season – but we all expect the spirit of goodwill to shine through.  What we find great is the positive feedback we get from customers who’ve ordered a Magne-Sleep from us.  At the same time, we take a little pleassure in hearing their comments on our “competitors”.  One lady who bought from us just 3 days before Christmas Day (and received her Magne-Sleep the morning after) was appalled at a certain competitor’s comments that “she left it too late” and basically they weren’t interested in helping her.

That’s their choice, but when you’re charging a huge premium for yor product it’d be great for them to provide service of a similarly high level.   Maybe their phone person was feeling the strain, maybe they need a holiday … maybe they need to sleep on a Magne-Sleep to restore their equilibrium!

As we all head for a holiday break, we wish you all the best for a brilliant 2012.   We’re taking a break too, but we’ll be here if you need us.

Seems like we’re in for a presidential-style election this year.  No matter what poor old Phil gets up to, he’s running a poor and distant second to a man who still learning how to shake hands properly!

John Key may have a bit of a geeky grin but he’s attracting a lot more voters than his snivelly counterpart.  The reality is, most of us would be hard-pressed to name more than 2 or 3 others in either of the major parties – it’s all focussed on the leaders.

Maybe JK sleeps on a Magne-Sleep, the way he seems to bounce up all perky every morning.  Something’s certainly keeping his energy leevls right up there and that’s one thing that Magne-Sleep really is good for.  Could be a good idea for Phil to add it to his party manifesto – a free Magne-Sleep to everyone, then we wouldn’t be worried about retiring at 65 or 67 – we’d all just keep on going strong for years and years.

With the broken Maui pipeline rivalling our politicians for output of gas, with Rena still on the rocks, Ch’ch still shaking and Richie’s foot to worry about, life’s pretty tough for kiwis.  So get yourself a Magne-Sleep and be as good as you can be, even while the world goes to rack and ruin around you!

NZ’s gone crowd crazy for the Rugby World Cup.  It just shows that Kiwis are not averse to a good time.

Without naming names, there are a few of the big stars who’ve used or are using magnetic therapy.  You can tell who they are – they’re the standouts who get hurt less and recover faster when they do.

We heard a rumour the Poms were tryingtack a magnet onto the ball Johnny W was goalkicking with, having furtively taped another magnet to the crossbar!  And if you look closely at the message on some mouthguards, you might just read the word “MagneSleep”.   That’s something to smile about!

You’ll find a lot of people out there telling you that “it’s all in the mind”, that magnetic therapy “just can’t work”.  But you’ll find a heck of a lot more people who’ll tell you just how magnets have helped them get pain relief and enjoy better sleep.

It’s fair enough to say that there are a lot of shonky “snake oil salesmen” out there.  Some of the stuff we read on some websites is pretty far-fetched – there just to prompt the gullible into a quick sale.   We take a bit of a different view, believing that our website should contain good information.  This is information we’ve gleaned from  other sources, as well as a lot we’ve learnt as we’ve gone along.  Feedback from our many thousands of customers has taught us not to be surprised – they’ve got some quite amazing results!

OK, maybe it’s all in the mind.   But if that’s so, why are their bodies working so much better?

Actually, a good mind is like a good magnet.  It attracts things (information) and it possess quite remarkable powers that can affect everything you do.
