    2 weeks ago by melissajack_ Did the workout, did the couple of House-to-Do's I'm trying to get done each day, did the study...... time to read - also something on my daily-do list for 2021.

  • {AD} Would you rather………..walk the aisles of a grocery store each week or take back that time and hit the beach this Summer?! TAKE IT BACK MATES!! After final NCEA exams, after school, after swimming lessons, after work, after the busy holiday season, after @newworldnz have delivered our groceries, fish ‘n chips on the beach with the boys is exactly what making the most of Summer is all about! I order my groceries on-the-go whenever I have five minutes using New World online shopping; it’s easy, intuitive and the time-savings are priceless. #newworldonline #nzsummer #muriwai #fishandchips #blacksandbeach #nzbeaches
