😀 Hey Neighbours, I'm Anthea, the founder and managing director of Lifestyle Happy Place. I've lived in Auckland for the past 20 years, originally from sunny Hawkes bay.

😀 My goal in life is to be a person who is consistently moving forward in all aspects of life which meant to avoid staying stagnated in anything. I had realised that after 20 years in the healthcare industry I had done exactly that. So I went in search of a better way, to switch gears professionally and I found my solution.

😀 Together with my husband, we started a business that allows us to live where we choose to live, work the hours we want, travel and explore the world with our children in a way that I could only have dreamed about as a kid.

😀 We are passionate about working with mums & dads who want to create this level of freedom and flexibility in their own lives working a business of their own from anywhere.

😀 Our community of like-minded, self-motivated men and women all have one thing in common.

......"To create an extraordinary life filled with choices"......

There are no have to's in this opportunity, just helping people to move forward in their pursuit of happiness.

Fireworks are a ton of fun but carry real risks that need to be taken seriously. If you plan on lighting some here's some tips to keep everyone in your community safe and happy.

❌ 1. Never light fireworks in dry or windy conditions.

🔥 2. Only use fireworks in wide open areas, away from flammable items such as trees, grasses, gas tanks, and wood.

💦 3. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby.

👧 4. Children should never light fireworks themselves and need to be supervised closely at all times.

🧰 5. Keep all unlit fireworks in a secure bag or container away from any source of fire until they are ready to be used.

📞 6. Be considerate and let neighbours know if you're planning to set off fireworks. Aim to finish at a reasonable time.

🐱 7. Keep pets comfortable and secure inside. The loud booms and flashing lights can easily scare them off.

🐮 8. Avoid lighting off fireworks around farm animals and be aware of any newborns or elderly neighbours who may also be affected. If possible, change locations to somewhere that minimises any disturbances.

🌿 9. Be a tidy Kiwi and let's work together to keep New Zealand beautiful! Clean up any any rubbish and leave your spot better than you found it.

🧡 Someone told me yesterday that we are going to die one day. I thought, True!

🧡But then I thought, why do so many people not use that as motivation to reach for the stars and get that dream job, travel, money, love. You know, find their HAPPY PLACE!

🧡Its fear of change, I know it because I have overcome change a lot and great things have happened. That's why I love to help people move forward in life.

🧡 Everyday is a blessing, to hug my daughter, to kiss my husband, to laugh with my dad, to high five my teen.

🧡Everyday will be different, change is inevitable, people will come and go.

🧡Make your everyday count! Create a happy change, create a legacy, move forward and be happy doing it🤗🥰

Switch to LEDs for the climate

Andrew Caseley from Gen Less

Kahutara Primary School in Featherston is switching to LEDs. All LEDs are Gen Less bulbs as they use less energy, which ultimately helps halt climate change. If we all got on board and switched now it would make a huge difference
