Can be used all year round due to its dual functionality, looks great in any space and is currently on special at Dyson New Zealand. Check it out here.
PANTRY: Winter Essentials 2023
Load up your pantry this winter with all the essentials. This means honey for all those sore throats, and plenty of tea and coffee to keep you warm and cozy all winter long.
With so many options on the market it’s hard to pick a favorite especially with so many flavors of Tea and Honey but when it comes to coffee, we have a clear favorite!
With so many great options on the market it’s hard to pick just one roaster or coffee brand as a favorite. Over the years we have tried them all, but being health professionals, coffee is such an integral part of your day that you quickly get accustomed to all the options out there.
I personally prefer coffee black (long and short) and over the years I keep navigating back to Allpress. Their dark and espresso blends are amazing, full of flavor and body.
Couple them with a Delonghi La Specialist Maestro and you are in heaven! Pick up a bag of Allpress Beans or Powder at your local coffee shop or online at Allpress.
BEDROOM: Winter Essentials 2023
Obviously keeping warm means lots of blankets in the bedroom and for those that need absolute warmth, electric blanket options are all over the show. Unpopular opinion – I personally hate electric blankets.
I have seen them cause skin issues, back problems and in severe cases dangerous environments when they get too old or wires start to fray.
I also like dual climate personally, where my body is warm but maybe my feet or hands are poking out for some cool. I know, I know – that’s why I said unpopular. So, my go to when I need a little warmth during sleep is either a hot water bottle or a wheat bag.
Camden & Co Wheat Bags
Looking for a stylish wheat bag? Look no further than New Zealand’s own Camden & Co Range. Comes in multiple styles and finishes – the options are endless! Check out the range
Fashy Hot Water Bottles – Made In Germany
You know what we can't stop raving about for winter? Those incredible Fashy hot water bottles straight out of Germany. Ever since they started in 1948, Fashy has been upping their game, improving their tech and design.
