It’s the highlights from my Instagram, which you can follow over at www.instagram.com/threadnz to see daily updates and what’s new.

The Week On Thread Episode 127
Celebrating Trudi’s birthday at Auckland’s newest rooftop bar, with incredible views, at SO/Auckland at the brand new Sofitel hotel Customs Street with Lorna and some very delish mojitos.
With mega babe mumma and foodie queen Sarah Chase of jayandsarah, at the premiere of Sony Marvel animated film Spider-Man Into The Spider Verse. Loved the movie, go see it!
Oh my goodness Stevens has Christmas snow globes! Amazing. They do christmas hampers in 3 sizes of wooden boxes which are great reusable storage too. My mince pies are from @sabatonzand chocolate gingerbread clusters from @donovanschocolatesnz
At Skechers D’Lites party at Swan Hotel Parnell tonight! The D’Lites range is a 90s throwback to their original styles of Skechers, aimed at the young at heart. I’m wearing Shen Clothing, pic thanks @zeenatwilkinson. Great event by @publiclibraryshowroom with Clean Collective Mojito drinks, retro candy and donuts and music by Katayanagi Twins.
At Northern Club with Living Green today with Melissa Jack @thebestnest and Jay @jayandsarahnz – learning about the most natural home cleaning products in New Zealand. Unlike the two big natural cleaning products brands in NZ you know about that both start with E, and which have perhaps been resting on their laurels (sulphates), Living Green doesn’t contain SLES. A very elegant morning tea and extremely educational event, hosted by @lassoomediapr.
Off to @nzballet Nutcracker ballet in Hailwood. Silk jacket by Zambesi, shoes United Nude, clutch Mi Piaci, earrings Ore Design. Thank you NZ Ballet for a wonderful night.
Pink by design: Graham Norton rose by Invivo wines, compact by Elizabeth Arden, Olympea fragrance from Paco Rabanne, pink Himalayan salt tealight candle from TVSN, rose quartz jewellery by Miglio Jewellery.
Lovely morning with Weleda at Dear Jervois in Herne Bay hosted by Bare PR hearing about the beneficial properties of Weleda including their Hypercal, Calendula, Skinfood and more. It was fascinating learning about the Hawkes Bay farm and production.
Feeling Christmassy, thanks to the delivery of this nice picnic rug and holly leaves wreath from Ezibuy home and Devil’s Staircase Central Otago from Rockburn wines. I must have been very nice this year and not at all naughty.
Thank you Janelle of Mediajam PR for the blueberry jam, she sends a jar every Christmas, to enjoy a moment with family over pancakes and be together. It’s such an amazing heartfelt gift -not to mention a classic pun on ‘mediajam’ – and so I made pancakes with the children this morning with her delicious jam made with love. She stands out as authentic in an industry that can be anything but.
The sick child at home has been seconded into work for this Instagram pic, colouring in the Bees Brilliance ‘Colour Me Christmas’ Best Sellers Collection, which comes with felt tip pens to colour the box in for kids or adult colouring! The kit includes Skin Brightening Moisturising Cream and Manuka Honey Foaming Facial Cleanser made from manuka honey by bees in Brightwater, Nelson, New Zealand. Available at @beesbrilliance and beesbrilliance.co.nz
With @michikohylands at school Carols night! I’m working the PTA burger stall, and I had so much fun! Such a cute night! Money raised also went towards @spcanz and @kidscannz.
Waste less this Christmas! Some of the bestsellers for a reusable eco Christmas, available at New Zealand environmentally friendly store @ohnaturalnz
