No matter your age or health condition, there's plenty of ways to add more physical movement to your life.
If possible, you should do exercises that improves your strength, balance and flexibility. Carrying heavy shopping is suitable because it strengthens muscles.
Our Manukau East Shopping Shuttle is a service enabling people in our community to stay active and independent by providing a door-to-door service to Botany Town Centre/ Pakuranga Plaza.
We'll collect you from your home in the morning, give you two hours of shopping time and return you home early in the afternoon.
If required, our volunteer-companion-shoppers can help you with tasks. Mobility equipment is also available if assistance is required.
The $10 return trip also includes a cup of tea or coffee.

The bags themselves are a visual feast, but we've dug deeper and fallen down rabbit-holes to bring you the bigger picture of the life and times of these popular accessories. We guarantee that the De-tour stories start with bags, but who knows where we may end up?
De-tours are thirsty work and so they will conclude with a Devonshire tea at our 1929 cafe.
Saturday and Sunday afternoons, 10 - 11 and 17 - 18 August. Bookings essential.

In reality, the work-life balance is an intense and personal process, one that each business owner must define in their own life.
Even when considering the personal nature of the work-life balance, there are some general tips everyone can employ when seeking the illustrious state of balance.
The process begins by setting boundaries. Determine the time you will leave the office each day; then stick with it, regardless of what arises throughout the day. Set your outgoing message on the weekends so your clients know you will not be taking calls or answering emails until Monday morning. You can also note a time each evening in which you will no longer be available.
The key to these boundaries is they must be realistic. The goal here is longevity in both business and life; and in order to keep yourself motivated and committed - your boundaries should be built into your daily routine seamlessly, reducing stress, not introducing more.
Next, you must understand your own expectations. More specifically, you may need to lower your expectations! You cannot and will never be able to do it all; once you realise this, you can move forward successfully.
Utilise calendars and colour coding for work, family and personal time – this will provide a clear view of where you are spending the majority of your time and then you can organise your schedule according to your priorities. Create daily, weekly and monthly to-do lists to accompany the calendars and keep you on track.
Remember to schedule breaks and actually take them - short breaks during the day as well as time on the weekends dedicated solely to family and personal time. Always take your holidays!
Build flexibility into your plans. Studies show those who are given the freedom to work when and where they need to will be more productive. Even the best to-do lists and schedules can be turned upside down by unpredictability. To stay balanced, you need flexibility.
Lastly, create your personal version of success. By listing the things you want to achieve both at work and in your personal life you can be successful in both places. List your desires, define why you want them, and then determine how to achieve them.
Monitor these goals regularly to find out where you might be lacking the focus needed, and then you can redirect your time and energy toward success.
Work-life balance isn’t about finding a way of completely separating the two – it is about allowing them to intertwine and complement one another. Discovering what will work for you personally will increase productivity and reduce stress, both at home and at work.

I am a Life Coach, meditation teacher and facilitate personal growth workshops for mature women and our youth of Aotearoa.
I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to enjoy house & cat sitting for others while they are travelling and need someone who is home for most of the day and night. I grew up with animals as a child and had cats while raising my children. My services allow cats to stay in their home which causes less stress to the pets as well as their owners. I am reliable, loving and can provide your cat with a safe loving environment while you are away.
Currently I offer my cat sitting services in Central, East and South Auckland Regions. Please don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions.
Here are a few references from previous house/pet sits from clients:
"We recently had the pleasure of having Dee house & dog sit for us. Dee was amazing, she looked after our dog as though it was her own, taking him for lots of walks and sending us updates of their adventures.
We were able to relax on holiday knowing Sparky was in capable & loving hands and the house was with someone we could trust. We came back home to a happy dog, super tidy house and home baking! We highly recommend Dee.
Thank you so much Dee!" Jackie

"I was fortunate enough to meet Dee Petit at the end of last year and have her house sit for us over the Christmas & New Year period. She cared for our cat and home beautifully and we just loved arriving home to a clean, fresh house full of flowers. Our cat was well loved and it was just so nice having the house lived in while we were away. Dee left her special touch while here and it was lovely to come home to. Thank you Dee," Johanna
