We support a number of local projects and excited to be working on Version 3 of The Blokes Book for Hawke's Bay. We started this journey in 2019 with the very first edition and since then have distributed more than 15,000 free copies into our local community including CHB and Wairoa.

We have some new supporters for this version, Staros as our main sponsor, Bay City Gym, Pulse Accountants ,Maxim Barbers, Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawkes Bay, plus a few still to confirm, all with big hearts for our community and knowing within their business or industry the value of mens health and wellness.
This edition will be packed full of information of interest for anyone who has a copy from self care techniques to nutrition to listings for local groups and services, 50 packed pages.

But we still have room for more supporters and sponsors !

If you are a business who would like to collaborate with us by supporting the Blokes Book, helping us to reach more places and spaces including rural and isolated areas, so everyone can receive a copy that needs it.
Or maybe you have a workplace wellness initiative then the Blokes Book is the perfect resource for your team.

If you are a garage, mechanic, cafe, restaurant, club, brewery, courier ,retailer, glass company, ( the list goes on) we would love to include you as a supporter of The Blokes Book, plus receive copies for your own customers same time.

Something you may not know about Mrs Jaffa is that she is pretty passionate about plant based living!

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=667131908789808&id=100064790134055&mibextid=qC1gEa

Are you curious about what a plant based diet looks like? Maybe you want to live a more healthful life? Perhaps get to know the difference between a lentil and a legume? Not to mention what do you do with them! Whatever your reasons for inviting plants on to your plate, it is the best and healthiest way to eat!

Come along and join Cath for this fun 2 hour workshop on Tuesday 25 July 10:00 am – 12:00 pm and learn some fun easy and tasty ways to cook delicious plant based meals. Together we will learn how to make sauces, wraps, something sweet (yes you still can eat desserts on a plant based diet) and meals for the families.

The workshop will go for 2 hours but we hope you will stay afterwards and enjoy eating all the delicious recipes we have cooked together! Numbers are limited so please get in touch to register. If you would like to join, please call (06) 878 5401 or email [email protected]

Let’s face it sometimes it’s not how good you are at what you do or how good your product is that gives you an edge. But rather how you get that message out there!

What you need to know first before you start marketing what’s your flavour? What’s your unique selling point that makes you stand out in a crowd!

Confusion never sells a story 🔴

The new website for Harmony Gardens and Grub is live!
Had a blast being able to start from scratch with some simple design work which we integrated into the whole overall website.

Listening to what our clients want and gaining some knowledge around their business and vision is so important.
Based on our conversation we knew the main focus was to bring this businesses customers to one place - and let them enjoy being there.

Add a mail list for a weekly recipe, a blog and a funky but super simple design which works so well on any device as well as desktop PLUS a price that won't break the bank.

Thanks Harmony Gardens we love what you do to support others and your garden to table education and your passion for life !

Being able to focus on some work on a wet Monday morning, not always the easiest, when helicopters constantly going overhead remind you of what is happening around us and the needs of our community.

It's been great to finally get the new website for Janine @ Love to Dance Hawke's Bay live, adding new content and a refreshed new look.

We love helping to grow community so adding a newsletter sign up can help to keep your website your own personal hive of information, so many cool options always available with the amazing Rocketspark team bringing new ideas to the table constantly.
If you want to grow your community, give us a hola, it's what we do !

CARE OF WATER DAMAGED PHOTOGRAPHS.
Please share , we know how precious family photographs are and our hearts go out to everyone experiencing loss at this time.

If you have water damaged albums , framed or loose photographs do not touch the image side of wet photographs it will be very soft and vulnerable.

Never allow the image side of photographs to dry in contact with anything else, as they will stick together permanently.

Do not try to remove photos from glass frames or from photo album pages.

Ideally air dry but if not freeze photos and albums if they cannot be air-dried. Seal in plastic bags to freeze until they can be appraised.

We are working with several professional imaging businesses to provide an appraisal of damaged photographs and an affordable restoration service from here in Hawke’s Bay. More to follow.
