Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,
Thank you to everyone who submitted questions about their sickly plant babies. Houseplants might be fashionable, but they can be tricky to get right. Whether it’s the wrong light, too much or too little water, or a pesky draft, it doesn’t take much for your prize peace lily to turn yellow or an infestation of bugs to set in.

We put some of your houseplant questions to the plant doctors from Kings Plant Barn to diagnose. Find their answers here.

💡 So why not back yourself ? Take a silent pause on that question.

🙋‍♀️ We all happily go into a new job not knowing how to do all or some of it & we absolutely know we will learn what to do & do it. Why then do we find it so difficult to bet on our own ability to succeed working for ourselves ? Is it conditioning ? The recent pandemic & resulting lock-downs & the flow on effect of that has taught us jobs aren't necessarily secure or what is best for us.

Done with sky-high Wellington rent, Olivia Caldwell moved to rural Otago.

In her new location, Caldwell has privacy on her very own front porch, has sheep and deer in the paddock in front of her and a short walk up the back the farm takes her to an incredible picnic spot, overlooking Lake Wānaka.

Her Wellington flat was shared with two blokes and scented with a mix of Ecoya candles, incense and mould. She wasn't sad to leave it behind.
