Some if you may know that my other work is with Delightful Dogs Motueka

Today we visited Pic's Peanut Butter to celebrate with them for International Dog day!

And to support guide dogs training here in NZ and Aussie.
Check out our babies! We took the Little Wolf Club to check it out!

We've been enjoying PAWGUST all month, but today is also International Dog Day! 🐾

This wonderful bunch from Delightful Dogs Motueka came to visit us today at Peanut Butter World for our Pawgust Playdate event and had a pawfect day out!

We had plenty of well behaved pups come and visit us today but we wanted to give a shoutout to the Delightful Dogs Motueka team and the puppy parents for their generous donation to Blind Low Vision NZ today.

Throughout August, every jar of Pic's Crunchy Peanut Butter sold helps us donate a combined $50,000 to Blind Low Vision NZ and Guide Dogs Australia , supporting the breeding, raising and training of life-changing guide dogs across New Zealand and Australia.

There's still time to get your paws on a Good Dogs jar, or if you'd like to make a donation this PAWGUST, you can head to www.guidedogs.blindlowvision.org.nz/donate

I love cooking with fresh, simple ingredients—no preservatives, no weird numbers, just real food that fuels your body.

When it comes to eating well, I always encourage an 80/20 approach:
• 80% of the time: Focus on nutrient-dense veggies, fiber, and whole foods.
• 20% of the time: Leave room for flexibility (yes, enjoy that ice cream!).
You don't need to be 100% perfect or buy all-organic to nourish your family affordably.
One of my go-to meal prep secrets for busy weeks, travel, or quick snacks is Eggy Muffins 🥚🧁

Why they work:
• Versatile: Add whatever veggies or proteins you have on hand (bacon, tomato, spinach—anything goes).
• Kid-friendly: Easy to make mini or regular size.
• Convenient: Delicious served hot or cold.

FINALLY!!!
Tessa and I finally had the stars align to get out on our bikes! 🚲
We were regularly going but it’s been a busy few months!
For us it’s a time to chat about life, our businesses, our goals and successes. As well as a download.
As business owners it’s important that we can talk about the reality of life in a small town in NZ and running a business!
BUT the best bit is getting your hang with a friend while doing something we both love!!

Shout out to the new barista at the store Kaka Point Coffee. She made an AMAZING coffee for us and we had a good chat too 💚🙏🏽

This is such a great idea! I know I have clients and people I know that would feel overwhelmed joining a class straight off.
So learning a little bit about Pilates and YOUR body with Pilates is such a great way to begin your journey.
As you know. I’m about what YOUR body needs. So this can work for ALL of you!

As a lifelong lover of vintage treasures—from my grandmother’s wool blankets and crystal vases to old jewelry and hat boxes—my aesthetic has always been about honoring items with a history.

So when I saw these one-of-a-kind creations advertised, I knew I had to have one! I set my alarm for the Facebook drop, and the rush to claim one felt just like the thrill of a last-minute Trade Me auction bid.

I managed to win a gorgeous piece that I haven't taken off since it arrived. Beyond its unique look, knowing it’s crafted from upcycled, reclaimed fabrics really resonates with me.

Having studied fashion and textiles before becoming a naturopath, as well as being a lifelong sewer, I truly appreciate the craftsmanship, creativity, and effort that goes into turning forgotten materials into a beautiful, one-off statement piece.

A huge shoutout to this incredible business—be sure to head over and check out her work!

Lula Upcycled Designs thanks Annette!!

This week was hair cut week! It’s all about “self care”.
Self care isn’t just eating well, getting good quality sleep and moving. It’s about ALL the things that make YOU FEEL GOOD.
This is different for everyone - getting my hair done is one for me!


Fusion Hair Ltd

I’ve been seeing Cherie at Fusion Hair for a couple of years now, and she never disappoints!
Having a team of experience with Julie & Cherie means they can support the newcomers too!
A thriving salon who supports locals. Whoop whoop!
And we always have a good laugh.
After the head massage 💆‍♀️ of course!
