The ability of your body to adapt to the stressors in your life is a direct representation of how healthy you are 🌱
If the combination of stressors you have (physical, emotional, or chemical) outweighs your ability to adapt, then it becomes incredibly difficult for your body to regulate, function and heal at its best ⚖️
When possible, give yourself time to let your body heal. Try adding these protocols to your daily wellness practices as a start!

✅ Restorative movement - 30 mins per day (walking, cycling, swimming, yoga) 🤸
✅ Get off screens, especially 30 minutes pre-sleep 📱😴
✅ Breathwork - deep inhale through the nose, hold for 3 seconds, long exhale, hold for 3 seconds. Repeat 20 times in the evening 👃😮‍💨

Please follow our top tips to reduce the risk of mail theft:
✉️ Clear your letterbox in a timely manner
✉️ Put a hold on your mail delivery if you’re going away
✉️ Provide clear delivery instructions for couriers to leave a package safely hidden or secured within your property
✉️ Install security cameras and/or security camera messaging near your letterbox or front of property
✉️ Where practical, consider click and collect over delivery
✉️ Send parcels to a work address or ensuring you're home when they arrive
✉️ Contact Police (111 for immediate issues or 105 if it is after the fact) if you see people loitering around vehicles or looking into car windows
✉️ Engage in neighbourhood groups so more people can keep an eye out for suspicious activity

These tips are being shared after a 44-year-old woman will appear in Pukekohe District Court on 28 March charged with theft.
An alleged mail thief in the Pukekohe area has hand-delivered herself into Police, following assistance from the community.
Counties Manukau South Senior Sergeant MJ Riddle says Police were aware of locals discussing a mail theft on social media. A report was made to Police at the time in January and had included enough detail including CCTV footage and a vehicle of interest. Following Police enquiries, the woman has brought herself into the Pukekohe Police Station a few days later

“This is a great result for the community and a timely reminder to the public to continue reporting any thefts from letterboxes.”
Senior Sergeant Riddle says
“Our community should be able to receive parcels and mail without concern of interference but unfortunately there are people in our communities who take advantage of opportunities to commit thefts from mail boxes and front porches."

“We encourage anyone who has been the victim of dishonesty offending to report it as soon as possible,” she says."

Get in early and prep for Xmas 2024!

Awesome 2x advent calendars for two lucky little elves! Had these for the kids and they have out grown them now. Get creative and personally fill each compartment, you could even tailor the gifts/treats to recipient.

In great used condition with a little bit of paint missing here and there from where the box compartments were taped up during the year but it’s barely noticeable at all.

There are lights on top but I never used them and now I’m not sure if they are broken or just need new batteries - personally they are already stunning without the lights. You could even add a string of fairy lights if you wanted to.

L 53cms, D 13cms, H 30cms
