“Create annual fresh start traditions around a personally relevant date, like your uni graduation, the day you got sober, the date you moved to a new place or purchased your first house, or the date your divorce was finalised.” People often seek a sense of a fresh start when attempting personal change, a new perspective, or an energy refresh. The quintessential fresh start timings are New Year or your birthday, but there are other ways to achieve this sense of new beginning that go overlooked. Try one of these options. 1 MAKE A SLIGHT CHANGE IN A ROUTINE. Changing your routines, even slightly, can unmoor you from existing habits and spur different thinking, including about yourself and your decisions. Research shows that even very slight changes in our routines boost…

Understanding the psychology behind colours allows you to make informed decisions when decorating your home, and harness their power effectively, ultimately creating a space that you love and feel happy in. We’ve got some tips when it comes to colour psychology, using Resene’s serene greens, calming blues, vibrant pinks and sunny yellows!

The versatile shade of green can be used in many rooms of your home, from bedrooms to living spaces. You’ll find that lighter…

FEBRUARY The hottest months of the year, February and March are the main harvest months. It’s all about reaping the rewards of what you have sown and planted. • Plant cabbage, broccoli, beetroot, carrot, beans, leeks, radish, rhubarb, blueberries, bulbs, lettuce, onion, parsley • Summer crops will be harvested and pulled out of the ground this month.

I have a confession to make. A few years ago, I visited The Tweed for the first time and fell utterly in love and subsequently made “tweed” my laptop password* so that I would think of it every time I logged in, because it made me so happy. So, revisiting the area again recently was a complete joy. For starters The Tweed is beautiful, an ancient caldera crowned by Wollumbin Mount Warning – the first point the sun touches in Australia each morning. It commands over ancient rainforest, hinterland and fertile plains that extend to the ocean – the earth it has fed with minerals from its volcanic eruption eons past. The Tweed River winds like a plush silk ribbon through the caldera facilitating river cruises and there are hiking…

This issue is possibly one of my favourites, ever! I’m excited to preface Good’s New Year edition which has personally brought me many insights that I’m excited to explore in 2024. The courageous and wise words of writer Kathryn Price – who ask’s the question, ‘If not now, when?’ – shows that it is never too late to go after your dreams and she admits to experiencing years of procrastination before she finally began kicking off her goals, no matter how small (page 30). I’ve realised procrastination has stopped me from signing up for that Te Reo Māori class, fuelled by fear of not being good enough, because I hold this belief that I’m not good at languages – a hangover from college days. And, also, like Kathryn, signing up…

Knowing how to replace a zip is not only an incredibly useful skill to have in order to prolong the life of the clothes you already own, it also opens up the horizons of secondhand and vintage shopping. Zips can fail and break, so having the ability to replace them will mean you can buy that unique piece safe in the knowledge you can make it wearable again in no time.

“Slowly but surely you begin to realise that you possess the ability to achieve what you have longingly admired in others.” Oh, to dream. What a wonderful thing it is. We all love to dream. Whether it’s overseas holidays, building a new home, buying a new car, starting our own business, or achieving some other goal, dreaming gives us a sense of hope. Staring out the office window on a sunny afternoon or daydreaming whilst drinking your morning coffee, dreaming is good for us, providing us with some light relief from our daily life that, let’s face it, can, at times, be mundane. Dreaming is a welcome reprieve. It’s also a starting point to much bigger and brighter things. Dreaming is often the motivating factor for change. There are many…

As we embrace a new year, many of us are reflecting on ways to make positive changes in our lives. One impactful resolution that not only benefits the environment but also promotes mindful living is the transition to a zero-food waste kitchen. Love Food Hate Waste NZ is at the forefront of this movement, encouraging individuals to minimise their food waste, saving up to $1,510 a year per household. 1. ASSESS AND PLAN: The first step to a zero-food waste kitchen begins with thoughtful meal planning. Create a weekly menu, consider perishable items in your pantry or fridge that you could use. This will not only help you purchase what you need but it also ensures that each ingredient has a purpose, reducing the likelihood of items going to waste.…

Happy hair and scalp A great part of my job is getting to test many different products though that recently led to having an itchy scalp for many months – argh!

Applying a stain to the plywood walls and ceiling of this basic one-room cabin helps protect the surfaces, while Resene Rock Salt stain creates a lighter timber effect, enhancing the room’s simple aesthetic. To better frame the rural view outdoors I painted the window and door joinery in the peaceful green of Resene Field Day. Applying it to the skirting boards also helps to delineate the space. Finally the chipboard floor is finished in the dramatic shade of Resene Night Magic, using tough Resene Walk-on flooring and paving paint overcoated in Resene Concrete Wax. YOU NEED: • Broom, brush and pan • Filler, sandpaper and clean cloths • Step ladder • Bushes: large, medium-sized, and angled sash • Roller and tray • 4 litre Resene Colorwood • 2-4 litre Resene…

1 STICK TO YOUR SHOPPING LIST It’s good to think about what you need to buy before placing your online order and try to stick strictly to this list. It’s just as important to do this when shopping online as it is when shopping in person, as buying only what you need ultimately helps to minimise food waste and saves money. Avoid online shopping when you’re feeling 2 REGROW FROM KITCHEN SCRAPS Make the most of your kitchen scraps by regrowing them into more produce. E.g., Leafy scraps will grow in water on a sunny indoor windowsill year-round. You can also transplant them from water into soil as soon as they show roots and new green growth. Celery, romaine and bok choy, are the easiest scraps to grow. gardentech.com 3…
