  • 20 hours ago by melissajack_ I couldn't be more proud of this guy! He totally went about this challenge in the same way he does everything, quietly, unassuming, just head-down and got the work done - though I'm totally questioning his motives behind the endless supply of Espresso Martinis during lockdown, none of which he drank himself Lockdown was a really good test of our community at  @f45_training_massey  and I cannot believe how much our trainers brought us together and kept us focused on one of the few things we were able to control during those 7 weeks - choosing to show up to our
  • 2 days ago by melissajack_ I haven't rushed back to many places or routines over the past week. I haven't felt the need. In saying that I had been looking foward to today's appointment  @clinic_42  for oh, around 7 weeks! Sudden onset rosacea that appeared 12 months ago put a halt to my regular skin treatments as I had increased skin sensitivity. But today, I had my first in a series of gentle lactic peels with the goal to reduce the residual marking that the outbreaks have left behind. So happy to report I have no bright red flare-up and my skin looks so much
  • 3 days ago by melissajack_ Wishing I was back at  @villaswaiheke , snuggled up and eating the most delicious snapper and chorizo paella made by  @waiheke_chef . Eat the carbs, and the ice cream and croissants  #lessonslearned 
  • 5 days ago by melissajack_ Totes not sold on cycling as a means to an end  #mybutthurts  but, it's definitely an amazing way to see  #waihekeisland . Back on the bike tomorrow when we head back to the ferry terminal. I'll write a blog about our weekend here so keep your eyes peeled, but a massive thanks to Karla our host at  @villaswaiheke  for organising this incredible trip . . . . . .  #nztourism   #Waiheke   #supportlocalnz   #tantalusestate   @tantalusestate   #nztravel   #nzvineyard   #auckland   #cycletour 
  • 1 week ago by melissajack_ Yesterday I was thinking about the boys returning to school and decided that a little project was in order. I hadn't labelled Nixie's lunchbox and drink bottle at the beginning of the year and obvs (accidentally) sharing drink bottles is the last thing we want kids doing right now, so....... time to put my  @officialcricut_anz  Maker machine to work! I really enjoyed this quick and easy project, so nice to be able to whip up something necessary and functional at home! I've put a step-by-step tutorial up in my blog, the link is in my bio if you are keen
  • 2 weeks ago by melissajack_ Slow weekend afternoons Not interested in any sort of rushing around right now. I'm happy at home enjoying the Autumn colours with a good book and some organic 'booch. Low sugar, low cal,  @bootlegbooch  is the first alcoholic kombucha sold in NZ supermarkets, and can confirm, Pink Apple is just as delish as the Passionfruit flavour I enjoyed last weekend. . . . . . .  #bootlegbooch   #nz   #autumnnz   #everydaystyle   #otdfashion   #kombucha   #organicnz   #slowlived   #autumn2020   #akl 
  • 2 weeks ago by melissajack_ Had this feeling of 'something I was supposed to be doing' all afternoon. Decided it was totally fine to ignore that pesty vibe and sit in the sun and read my book. "HAVE THE PAST 2 MONTHS TAUGHT YOU NOTHING MELISSA?" ‍♀️
  • 2 weeks ago by melissajack_ I've been looking forward to this ALL day! Dinner and a movie with my team and  @disneyplusnz  - Maleficent: Mistress of Evil has just launched on Disney+ as of 7pm! The boys didn't notice my outfit, Mistress of Evil is de rigueur around here apparently ‍♀️  #maleficentwickedweekend  . . . . . .
