Re: Next Crystillery Community Pop Up at the Riverhead Citizens Hall 23 Sept 2023 | 8am-12noon
Kia ora koutou katoa, Shalom & Talofa lava,
On Saturday the 23rd of September 2023 we have the Crystillery Pop Up from 8am to 12noon at the Riverhead Citizens Hall.
For this month as Spring arrives in, we have a wonderful collective sharing and selling their creative pieces with you. As always we are supported by:
3 Lefts Art with Andy and Hanae who showcase, act and sell on behalf of local artists
Heritage Indian Café coupons for a coffee and Saturday morning home baked butter chicken pie! from Navdeep and Anmol (Namaste!)
Bruce Davey (Carver) and whānau who are Multimedia Artistes with their wonderful range of cards, gluten free wheat bags and jewellery
Crystillery Custom Goddess Jewels, Crystals Fossil and Stone Finds crafted and sourced by Riverhead local Leonard (and co-organiser)
Tarot (Rider Waite) Readings $40 - 30mins with Lisa with 22 years reading experience + vintage/retro curated pieces. LIsa will be starting at Crystal Visions Markets with the community of readers from October. Thank you Michelle from Crystal Visions x
And additional to the collective this month we welcome Innes Nisbet who will community to kōrero/chat about sustainability and rubbish reduction, Patrice Murdoch from Mandala Massage in the board room space offering massage! Helen Hare from our local Hare Krishna community with her lovingly hand-made beads and Carol Peace who enjoys creative knitting, colour and crafts positive message dolls. The children will love these and they are super well priced.
Locals Leonard and Lisa continue to thank local community and locality creatives for the continued support to get this pop-up market off the ground in Riverhead. We found out recently there is no funding for creatives in Riverhead! Something clearly needs to change at local council for this.
And of course, we all thank the local community for coming along, buying products that are hand crafted and having a kōrero/chat too. It has been refreshing to meet with people and hearing life stories in a post pandemic context now...
We look forward to welcoming you to the market on Saturday 23rd September 8am to 12 noon at the Riverhead Citizens Hall. Look for the signage outside!
Ngā tauwhirotanga o te wā

Sleep Smart: How to Pick the Perfect Mattress Firmness for You
Discover the key to a great night's sleep by finding the perfect mattress firmness. Learn how to choose between soft, medium, and firm options to enhance your sleep quality and boost your daily energy.
Let’s break it down into simple terms to help you make an informed decision that can transform your sleep quality and, by extension, your daily energy levels.
Spinal Alignment and Support
One of the most critical aspects of mattress selection is the support it provides to your spine.
Firm mattresses are often recommended for back and stomach sleepers as they offer a stable support system that maintains natural spinal alignment. This reduces the risk of waking up with back pain or discomfort.
On the other hand, soft mattresses can be a haven for side sleepers. The extra “give” in a soft mattress accommodates the hips and shoulders, aligning the spine correctly when lying on your side.
However, it's not just about sleep position; weight also plays a role.
Heavier individuals might find that a firm mattress provides better support, preventing the feeling of sinking too deeply into the mattress, which can misalign the spine.
Conversely, lighter individuals may prefer the cushioning of a soft mattress.
Durability and Lifespan
Investing in a mattress is a significant decision, and understanding the longevity of your purchase is essential.
Typically, firm mattresses have a longer lifespan because they are less prone to sagging over time. The dense and tightly packed materials in a firm mattress resist the indentations that softer mattresses might develop, especially in areas under continuous pressure from body weight.
While providing luxurious comfort and excellent pressure relief, soft mattresses might require more frequent replacement if the materials start to compress and lose their supportive properties.
This is something to consider if you’re looking for a mattress that will maintain its comfort and support for many years.
Comfort, Pressure Relief, and Temperature Regulation
Soft mattresses excel at providing pressure relief, which is particularly beneficial for those with joint pain or conditions like arthritis.
The cushioning effect of a soft mattress cradles the body’s contours, reducing pressure points and promoting a more restful sleep.
However, temperature regulation is another vital factor to consider.
Firm mattresses typically facilitate better airflow around the body, staying cooler throughout the night. This can be a significant advantage if you tend to sleep hot.
Soft mattresses, due to their enveloping nature, might retain more body heat, potentially leading to discomfort for some sleepers.
