"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"

💕🌎 {Long-Caption} 💕🌎Love isn’t just romantic, a nuclear kind of love. Love is your relationship to your Mum. To your friends. To colleagues. To your Dad. To your aunties. To your hairdresser (here’s a photo with mine - and friend - David). Love is close by, smiling at your neighbours. Love is something you share sisters and brothers. With your local barista... . Love our future children and the children of strangers and ask yourself to give a s**t about climate change. . Love and speak up for racial inequality; don’t give anything to racist remarks. Love extinguishes far-right hate groups. Love and forgive those who slighted you in the past. We need to spread love everyday - not just Valentine’s Day. . . I’m going to take today to remind myself that I need to get out of my bubble and do things for the bigger world, zooming out and seeing I’m just a speck of sand on the beach, in a giant and vulnerable world I really love and care for. . Make love your mission in 2019. Approach everything with love. . Love matters. Love is everywhere. Love wins. . Happy V-Day ✌🏻❤️ . . #Loveisallyouneed #ValentinesDay2019
Went for a delicious swim in Oriental Bay on Valentines Day eve today. (I’ve written a blog post on my blog by the way about what to get someone else or yourself for Valentines Day if you feel like reading - the link is in my bio). It’s SO nice when you’re feeling slightly sluggy from a day inside the office to be able to pop on your bathers (mine are from @lonelylingerie of course) and take a dip. SPLISH SPLASH SPLOSH 💧 Like so many things in life, it’s freezing when you dip your toe in, but if you take the plunge you’ll find it’s actually quite refreshing! 💙 💦🏊🏻‍♂️ . . #orientalparade #orientalbay #summer #swim #lonelygirls #wellington #lovewelly
Moved our mirror into the living room one month before leaving our place and I am kicking myself for not doing this years ago! Wearing @ohhejhej jumper @chloe #tessbag @velvettees from @harryswellington @topshop pants Hope you’re having a good Monday ☕️😴 #pinkonpink #monday #wellingtonstyle #chloegirls #chloe
🔥❤️👁Meet Xoe and Ash❤️👁 🔥 Brilliant minds, good friends and creative collaborators 👯‍♀️ Have you popped in and seen their @feverhotel exhibition at @huntersandcollectors1987 on #CubaStreet yet? 🔥👁❤️ Love the amazing photos they take, which deal with sex, colour, feminist themes and dominance - and love Xoe and Ash even more ❤️ 🙌🏻 (Ash takes my photos for #theresidentsofwelly whenever I am in them (she’s on the left). Wellington needs to support awesome artists like these incredible women. 🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥Hunters and Collectors Gallery is upstairs at their Cuba Street store. Why not check it out this week?! ❤️❤️💃🏼
🌿🇳🇿Happy Waitangi Day! 🇳🇿🌿I hope you’ve had a pleasant and relaxing day, and if you enjoyed some spiritual and historical rituals, that those were beautiful for you and your soul in connecting to our wonderful country, Aotearoa. Today, dear friend @____glwilliams of modern Waikato farm @__olmh, her family, Matt and I went to government house for the Bledisloe Garden Party with the Governor General Dame Patsy Ready. Before handy amazing ‘hair-artiste’ (my term, not his) David from @mattforsmanhair popped by on his day off to make our tresses stand out from the crowd! He is a really wonderful person and a skilled expert in hair! I also wore my @taylorboutique dress and did my own makeup 💙 Before going along to Government House I had so many questions before going along today that I thought other people might want to know the answers too as well that I put a blog post up in conversation with Government House Engagement and Communications Advisor Jo Blick - What to wear, how to eat, how to address people and whether you can take selfies was all covered. It was a lovely afternoon with great food and wonderful energetic people. Go to www.theresidents.co.nz to read the blog post and find out how to do Government House right!
🌱Can you really find what you need in your bathroom to scratch your beauty and bodycare itch without buying into single use plastic? 🌱 This year we’re all trying to reduce how much plastic we use, whether it is saying no to straws or bringing our own bags to go shopping for groceries, right? So I wondered whether I could improve my carbon footprint by just stepping into the shower 🚿🛁. I paid a visit to @lush_newzealand and asked what they could do for me, from serums to self tanner. Did it work? What did I pick? And isn’t it all just about the bath bombs? (Spoiler: no but they’re still so close to my heart!) 💣 You’ll be surprised about how much of your regime can go naked. Go to the blog to read more about it! 🧽🧴🛀🏼🧼
