If you love a bit of bling and are inspired by the art of Gustav Klimt, these two weekends in Sept/Oct might be just for you. You don't have to have art experience as this is a highly structured and guided course. It's also great for experienced artists as there will be a lot of potential for creativity in developing a work. You bring two gel pens and I'll provide you with all the other materials you'll need to leave the course with an impressive art work.

I couldn't believe the number of people who were going through the clothing and other things that had been dropped off. I know people are asked to not drop off items after hours but that is still no excuse for what these people were doing.
At least four groups arrived and took items away in their cars or bikes. One guy had a huge carton full balanced on his bike.

The last few weeks have been particularly cold, especially here in Wellington! Usually the coldest nights are followed by brilliant clear days, with the sun out in full force! 🥶😎
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall wellness & supporting immune function. 🧘‍♀️🦠
Vitamin D deficiency can have a variety of impacts on the body, including:
❎ Bone weakness & increased risk of osteoporosis
❎ Muscle weakness & pain
❎ Impaired immune function
❎ Mood disorders
❎ Increased risk of chronic health conditions

While it can be obtained through certain dietary sources and supplementation, sunlight exposure is a primary and natural way for the body to absorb, synthesise, and utilise Vitamin D!

Key Tip 🔑:
Getting outside for natural light exposure in the morning is an great way to get the day started, and get the Vit D intake! Try couple this with a 30 minute walk so you nail your movement goal too!
