Last month this happened!!
13 Brave and Beautiful Ladies bared themselves courageously with the focus to help raise $ for Hospice…. AND what a time was had! Nerves, laughter, soul food, mulled wine and new friendships…. The result – a beautifully bold, quirky, feminine & fun 14 month calendar of local legends to be proud of. Bringing Taranaki Hard Core to the next level…
A big thank you to those 13 who shook off their inhibitions and came out feeling empowered… YOU TOTALLY ROCK!
To the super power in her own right – Barbara Olsen-Henderson – without you this would not have happened! For opening your home, leading the way, filling our bellies and pulling it all together!!
To the uber awesome Andrea Leadbetter from TGM – for producing the calendar – and of course agreeing to be starkers!
To the lovely Lyn Humphreys for her talented writing and wordly magic…
To Kim Ferens & Robin Drake for your generous donations.
And of course to the lovely and talented hair and makeup teams – Ruby Blu Hair, Emerge Beauty and Well Being and Stacey Riddick – you made everyone feel rather special and famous x
The Bravehearts for Hospice calendar goes on sale later this month – please click on the website for info and a bit of a sneak peek…

BREATHTAKING….When things seem to be going not to plan but turn out heavenly… the skies opened last weekend and blessed us! Playing in the rain worked a treat on Saturday when Reto and Erica shared their special day. Reno met his beautiful wife for a first look in their New Plymouth home before setting off on some creative adventures. Brollies, water, laughter, beef jerky and wine – such a fun day! With a bunch of family travelling from far corners of the globe to celebrate at Okurukuru, Taranaki showed 4 seasons in a day and we got some gorgeous results. Thanks beautiful people for having me along for the ride! Here is a taster into their blissful day xx
