From 11.59pm on Tuesday 1 September the North Island, south of Auckland, will drop down to Level 3. This is great news, and a sign we are heading in the right direction! It's exciting for us to have the opportunity to get some of our great products out to you! 

The sudden announcement of Level 4 lockdown sent me into spin…..not because I hadn’t done my grocery shopping…..and not because I had finished the last bottle of wine in my house the night before….and not because I would be locked up with 2 teenagers….but because I had hundreds of plant babies at Spacecraft that I had to abandon!!! 

So it got me thinking…do we need to take pride in our appearance when we are in lockdown? When only our bubble, plus a few hundred others in the masked queues at Pak’n Save, will see us? 

Nothing screams Level 4 Lockdown more than hearing the nation’s leaders speak on the TV every day at 1pm to give us a daily update. The same could be said for suddenly spying Hilary Barry doing a live Facebook baking lesson, dressed in a glittery gown and tiara whilst whipping up some traditional kiwi yumminess........
