A few weeks ago just after Level 3 had finished and we were allowed to travel around NZ again, Zac and I shot over to the family batch in Whitianga for a change of scenery.  I think everyone can relate to the fact that during lockdown, Zac and I hadn’t worried about our appearances at all!  Things like hair, my makeup, clothing choices and any part of our physical appearance had gone to the bottom of the list and instead, re-growth, sweat pants and oily hair were trending. So when Level 2 hit I began thinking about my/our appearance again...

Hey Team  Well aren't we all nailing our no takeaway diets!!!  If your husband, yourself or any family member is like mine and missing their favourite burger, I have figured out how to make it at home from simple ingrediants found at your local supermarket. Note: I couldn't get the exact ingrediants for some of the items so I just did what I could considering we are in lockdown. Start by making the sauce as it needs to be chilled.... Big Mac Sauce: 1 Cup mayonnaise 1 tbs gherkin relish 2 tsp white vinegar Pinch of white pepper (I used...

On the 25th of October 2019 I married the man I had been put on this earth to find.  As we all know, the path in which we found each other was very serendipidous but then that's a story for another day!  5 months after our wedding day I can't believe how much my life has changed!  Yes being married 'is' different; weird that no-one says it isn't but it so is!  You feel safe, less vulnerable, more in love, scared for his safety and also very protective.  But the biggest change for me personally is that people are openly...

So one night when we both walked in home late, and were missing each other so much we made a conscious decision to spend a weekend together.  Finding that weekend was difficult but when we finally did, we enquired at Songbird Retreat straight away and they were more than happy to accommodate us! Songbird Cottage sits comfortably within the native bush just above Matheson Bay, on the Matakana Coast. Once a former potters workshop, it has since been...

 Zac and I have just spent 10 days traveling South East Asia and I gotta say it was so good to have time with him however, it  meant having to spend a lot of time in airports and this brought back so many memories of how stressed out and annoying people can be while travelling!  You need to keep your cool in airports people otherwise it's just a nightmare for everyone!  These are some of the things (in my opinion) that I try and do to keep my own self calm and cool in an airport.. For example the...
