If you are visiting the Mackenzie region, then a trip to Tekapo is an absolute must. Located in one of the most beautiful parts of New Zealand is the Tekapo Springs. A little oasis located under the mountains and right next to the stunning Lake Tekapo. Here you’ll find hot springs surrounded by snow-capped mountains and idyllic…
I’ve lived in Dunedin my whole life and yet I’ve never been to Nicols Falls until just recently – which is crazy as it’s just minutes from the city! It’s such an impressive waterfall and beautiful walking area…. which at night it turns into one of the most stunning glow worm experiences in New Zealand. I love…
Purakaunui Falls is one of the most recognisable waterfalls in New Zealand. This three tiered waterfall is an absolute stunner and a must-visit if you are visiting the South Island! Located in The Catlins, this waterfall is around 1 hour 45 minutes from Dunedin and around 15 minutes from the small town of Owaka. The walk to…
If you’ve been a reader for a while (or come over from Instagram, hi 👋), then you’ll probably know that I like my crystals. They are something I’ve gotten into in the last two years, and for the main reason that they bring harmony and calm into my life. Now I know most people fit into two…

I have been absolutely loving my essential oils lately, and recently got this Stone Diffuser from my faves at Eco Modern Essentials. This is the only oil brand I’ll use now as they are Aussie owned, 100% pure, and are vegan and cruelty free. They are always such a delight to purchase from, are affordable, and the…
It’s no secret I love Essano and I use so many products from this brand in my everyday life. I’ve been using their skincare and haircare products for a number of years now, and recently have become a huge fan of their home and gifting range. I have a number of candles that I love from this…
I did it! I finally got my hands on one of the always sold-out, mythical clocks…. so naturally I thought I should do a Kmart Toddler Sleep Clock review to share how we are finding this clock and whether it lives up to the hype. If you have a toddler then you’ll know that sleep time can…
It’s no secret I love a good candle. It’s one way to not only fill your home with an incredible scent, but also a way to bring in peace and harmony to your home. For me, it’s super important that my candles are natural. Many candles can contain chemical ingredients, which when burnt, release toxins into the…
