Upgrade your wheels: End of the month

Car dealers have monthly sales targets, so negotiating a good deal is often easier late in the calendar month. However, “dealers will always do a good deal. That is the nature of their business – they need to sell cars always, every day, every week and every month,” says motor vehicle consultants Car Solutions (carsolutions.com.au), who negotiate car deals on behalf of their clients. Have a firm price in mind, keep asking for a better deal and walk away if you’re not happy with the offer.


Get laser treatment: June and July

Let your summer tan fade before scheduling hair removal or other laser treatments, says Debbie Dickson, Australian director of skin specialists Danné Montague King. Tanned skin tends to absorb the laser’s heat energy, increasing your odds of developing a condition called hyperpigmentation – darkened spots that can last months. “The best time to have a laser treatment is during winter,” says Dickson.
