Thank you!

"I was introduced to Margaret and her oils in Wellington while making the Lord of the Rings.  How lucky I was.

18 years later I am still using the products and my love of Margaret's products continues to grow...

...In short, I'm obsessed"

As I creep towards thirty, I am becoming more interested in the effect of active ingredients in my skincare but it can be DAMN confusing (anyone else dipping into scientific journal articles on Retinol?) 😩 @dermaviduals dermaviduals invited me to trial their facial at @elderberry.kate so I could learn about active ingredients (they're a salon only line - very profesh!). A relaxing room set the mood, with soft music and essential oils. ⚱️My dermaviduals therapist Gilly did a double cleanse, enzyme mask, deep green kelp mask and taught me about what I should be doing to correctly introduce active ingredients into my skincare. For example, not to use retinol on my skin immediately, but introduce a small amount slowly via the dermaviduals Vitamin Cream Mask, containing vitamins A, C, E & D-Panthenol, so my skin could get used to it. Essential fatty acids, like fish oil, would also help improve cell turnover. 🐠I am a big nerd so I loved learning about this highly scientific and safe skincare. 🤓 Gilly applied some very hydrating serums to finish! I am now going to trial dermaviduals for the next three months at home. Hopefully, it means a brighter, tighter start to 2019! 😚 . . [AD]

As time goes on, and our little holiday slips away, it’s easy to feel discontent. 🙇🏼‍♀️ . I know that Christmas is coming up, but when you are looking at an uncertain next few months, anxiety can hit even when you don’t want it to. It’s easy to forget that when we were travelling it was exhausting and sometimes really stressful. We tend to idealise things in our head and repeat ‘It was so good!’ Without remembering why. ⁉️ . The other week we had dinner with friends and they showed us a sign I think many of us should have as soon as we walk in the door, daydreaming of being elsewhere. The sign says, “REMEMBER: WE HAVE A GOOD LIFE”. Those words bring back our inattention to the small things which are amazing about where we live and our general state of being. Too often, we are elsewhere and forget to enjoy the little things which make every day special. I am definitely one of those people so this ain’t no sermon. 💒 . So let’s not idealise our old holidays, for they are past, but look forward to adventures ahead, even if that is as simple as getting an afternoon coffee or doing an interesting piece of work. It’s the small stuff that makes up life. 🤷🏼‍♀️ . . . Pictures at Versailles in the gardens wearing @summers_the_label

Final City Gallery Event for 2018. I love this place and being part of the art community in Wellington. This year we ‘bought a wall’ at the City Gallery Foundation Auction, I got to meet @theluckytaco_nz guys and have some wines with some really amazing people. It’s a cool place to belong. Get amongst in 2019 y’all!!
