Without trying to sound cliché, generic, or full of shit, everything does work out eventually; you just need to give it time, patience, put in the work, and let the universe do it’s thing. This time last year I was still studying down in Dunedin, struggling through the last bit of my first semester. Each […]
First Year Health Science is one of the most intense university courses on offer. It’s the precursor for professional programmes Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy and Physiotherapy. As if any first year course isn’t challenging enough, Health Sci has 2000 students enrol, and limited spots at the finish line. It includes 7 compulsory papers, shit tonnes of […]

Post it to Instagram. In all seriousness, Instagram is so much more than brunches, selfies and holiday posts; its a platform for self-expression, […]
Fair Trade is a topic I personally had no knowledge about until my friend Kiera suggested it be a topic I write about on my blog. (Which i love – if you’re reading this and have a topic you want me to write about, let me know!) Already, I believe I am a more conscious […]
Sustainability was never really something on James Denton’s radar – which may be hard to believe considering he’s now opened a zero-packaging plastic-free store in Ponsonby. GoodFor Refillery is beginning to change the way people think about our consumption, and take a look at how much single-use plastics creep into our daily life. GoodFor Refillery […]
