If you ain’t got your health you got nothing

We have all heard it many a time but it’s more than an age-old adage, it’s the damn truth!

Career, sport, socialising, cooking, playing with your kids, it’s all out the window.  It’s like the wind won’t even blow your hair back so you can have a moment of carefree folly.

Why am I moaning on like some jaded old women?

I’m currently living in the limbo of misery illness. Is it an allergy? Is it the immune system gone wack? Is it blah, blah….

After seeing a rather pricey specialist today it’s fingers crossed the 4th blood test may shed some much-needed light.

But I’m still functioning … just, and I’m still doing what I love – Your hair but the concern is when do I get better!!!  I wanna know.

So it’s at these times we ( that’s me really ), find out what we really love about our lives and feel grateful for, all the cool and lovely things.

Why now??? Cause we miss them like crazy!

• Walking the dog
• Picking up Nina when she demands a cuddle 
• Getting creative in the kitchen to the applause of Steven
• Worst of all, doing my hair!

So if this is what it feels like to be frail then thank you for the lesson cause when I’m better I’m gonna cram as much into my years as possible and relish my rainy, wet dog walks, cause at least I can.

Praying for my return to good health.

These are a few of my Fav things

Nico LOVES the beach

Ok so it’s not the worlds largest city but there are still a lot of choices in Auckland.

I love recommendations, they work, heck our whole business so far has been built on word of mouth recommendations, so I’m gonna tell you about a few things I love and would love you to comment with anything you feel we all need to know about.

Foodbox – Delivered to your door, in season, the best the market has to offer Fruit and Veg.

Fresh as and extremely affordable. I love foodbox because instead of buying the same old trusty veg you branch out and they include info in your box about how to use, as well as recipes online and facebook. Check them out www.foodbox.co.nz

Hansan Vietnamese Restaurant – In Nuffield  St, Newmarket

This place is amazing, the food is so yummy and fresh. The surroundings, clean and modern. I highly recommend B16 but are yet to try anything I don’t enjoy. The staff are really friendly and never seem to mind when we leave a huge mess thanks to Nina’s noodle technique.

Poppy Jones – New North Rd, Eden Tce

Sarah is super creative and what she does with flowers is inspiring. Very down to earth and personable service. I love that when I send bouquets friends always say “ OMG they are the most amazing flowers”,  not just “Thanks for the flowers”. www.poppyjones.co.nz

St Leonards Beach – Takapuna

We just learnt about this place this summer, better late than never but anyone who has a dog that loves the beach and thinks it’s a crime that in summer you have to be gone by 10am then your gonna love this place, an all year round DOG BEACH.
Take Lake Rd like your going to Devonport, turn left at Takapuna Grammar, Park up, down the path and Yay swim with your puppy. map

Angelique at Acupuncture Heath – Sandringham

Sweet relief from pain and a fertility specialist. I have much to be grateful for with Angelique’s assistance, as do many of my friends.
Caring, relaxing and beneficial to your health, no pills needed and HONESTLY the needles don’t hurt a bit. www.acupuncturehealth.co.nz
