Every two weeks we share all the stuff we’ve recently enjoyed – from the latest TV shows to must-try foods and the most exciting spots to visit in New Zealand.
Netflix & Chilll’d™, Ben & Jerry
Ok, we might almost be a year too late – Netflix and Ben & Jerry first announced their collaboration back in January – but hear us out: peanut butter ice cream with sweet & salty pretzel swirls and fudge brownies! How on earth are we supposed to stay away from this flavour bomb?! Of course, as soon as Netflix & Chilll’d™ beckoned from the supermarket shelf, the battle was lost. The fact that the 465ml container didn’t even last three days speaks for itself.
By the way, here are eight cool TV shows that would make a perfect match for this ice cream!
GLORY: Magical Visions of Black Beauty, Kahran and Regis Bethencourt
From the husband-and-wife duo behind CreativeSoul Photography comes the #1 Bestseller in the ‘Children’s Photography’ section on Amazon.
It’s a collection of over 100 mesmerising photos and powerful essays about children celebrating the versatility of black beauty. In this really special coffee-table book, you’ll find the stories of the past, the glory of here and now and even a few forecasts for the future.
GLORY encourages children around the world to feel their power and harness it.
If you want to learn more about the black culture and racism that modern world is still too full of, here are six informative books.
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
We’re not saying our online editor and her husband were recently bullied into walking Tongariro Alpine Crossing by their friends but we won’t deny that either. The thing is, a 19 km route across the volcano was the last box to tick on their ‘New Zealand must-do list’ and had remained unticked for far too long, which their friends knew way too well.
So, armed with a backpack of Snickers bars, approximately 20 layers of clothing and an undying faith in their calf muscles, the four of them ventured on a journey of a lifetime this long weekend. Apart from one near-death experience when our tiny online editor almost got blown off the top of the volcano by a ferocious wind and only the ninja moves of her husband saved her from an embarrassing roll down, those were THE BEST. 7 HOURS. EVER! Breathtaking views, great company and that amazing feeling of being deeply proud of your own accomplishment – thank you dear bully friends for that much-needed kick!
