Every two weeks we share all the stuff we’ve recently enjoyed – from the latest TV shows to must-try foods, gorgeous makeup products and the most exciting spots to visit in New Zealand.
Outdoor brunches
The weather is just perfect for weekend lazy outdoor brunches right now – it’s not too hot yet but also not too cold either.
We spent the most beautiful morning at Dixie Browns at The Mount this Saturday, enjoying the sunshine, the views and their delicious, beautifully presented food.
My only complaint – that large size flat white could’ve been twice its size 😉
Lifehack for future visits: when paying for your brunch, grab the pre-packaged fudge they always have on offer – it’s beyond amazing!
Kokolu vegan and sustainable sneakers
We love fashion but we love fashion that doesn’t harm the environment even more. Kokolu sneakers are made from plant-based, recycled and recyclable materials and are vegan and completely biodegradable in just three years (compare it to 200 years it would take any other sneakers to biodegrade!)
Their vegan ‘leather’ upper is made from bamboo and corn stalk, zippers are made from 100% recycled metal, laces are made from beech tree, the softest insoles are made from sugarcane and recycled material, soles made from recycled and natural rubber and the entire packaging is recycled, recyclable and biodegradable.
The entire process of creating these shoes requires 80% less waste, 60% less carbon, 35% less water and 30% less energy.
Help Kokolu launch their wonderful collection by pre-ordering a pair with an awesome discount
(starting from 51% off) through their Kickstarter campaign.
Nine Perfect Strangers
If you think Nicole Kidman was awesome in Big Little Lies, wait till you see her as Masha, luxury resort owner and wellness guru with a mysterious background, in Nine Perfect Strangers – a miniseries adaptation of a 2018 novel by Australian author Liane Moriarty… And if her name sounds familiar, you’re not wrong – this author also wrote Big Little Lies!
The cast of the show is just incredible. Nicole Kidman is joined by Melissa McCarthy, who absolutely shines in this more dramatic role, Samara Weaving, Luke Evans, Bobby Cannavale, Manny Jacinto and other talented actors. And together, they create pure magic in the enclosed space of Tranquillum House.
