The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.
Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

De-tours are thirsty work and so they will conclude with a Devonshire tea at our 1929 cafe.

Learn about doTERRA essential oils and how they can naturally support your physical, emotional, spiritual and environmental well being.
It's a sad fact that we now live in a toxin filled environment.
We can't control the toxins and chemicals we are exposed to when we are out and about, but we can control what we are exposed to inside our house.
From the products we use to clean our house to the beauty products we put on our skin. Many of these can have nasty chemicals hiding in them that over time, can build up in your body and have negative side effects on your health.
I want to show you how to use essential oils to replace all these with natural alternatives!
In this class you get to smell the oils, learn about the oils and learn how to use them safely and effectively and have the opportunity to purchase oils to start on your own journey into a more natural toxin-free life.
And then sample some yummy essential oil infused treats!
And then stay on for a Diffuser Bracelet Make and Take class from
11 - 12pm.
Cost for this is $30 and you will make your own personal diffuser bracelet using lava stones and crystal beads and also your own essential oil blend to use on your bracelet.
PM, text or phone me on 021 474379 to reserve your seat.
I look forward to seeing you there!
