Collected: December 2025

Things we’ve seen, heard, listened to or eaten recently that really tickled our fancy.

Loaded Honey

Every now and then the Spotify algorithm delivers. This track landed in Discover Weekly over summer and immediately set the tone. Catchy, carefree and sun-soaked — the exact energy of a New Zealand summer.

Topologie

On the hunt for a new tote and immediately drawn to Topologie’s blend of outdoors utility and city chic. The customisable straps sealed the deal. Functional, thoughtful design always wins.

The Let Them Theory — Mel Robbins

2025 started heavy on the mental front. This book, gifted at Christmas, has been grounding and surprisingly powerful. We knew Mel Robbins from TikTok, but the book itself goes deeper — simple ideas that hit at the right time.

Allpress Olive Groves

Our final day on Waiheke was spent at Allpress Olive Groves before heading back to Melbourne. Long lunch, perfect light, beautiful service. The kind of place that lingers in your memory. We’ll be back.

Jony Lee

A long-time favourite. Jony’s humour has always been sharp, but her recent content, more reflective, more layered, feels like a new chapter. Watching someone evolve publicly with honesty is something we deeply admire.
