Six Things I’m Loving Today

Great clients – This is a photo sent to me from my latest client. It’s humbling to see my work being displayed and appreciated. It’s moments like this that make all the fear you experience when putting yourself out there, worth it. Buy a painting: Starting from $50 Mayday by Shepard Fairey – A book [...]

Six Things I’m Loving Today

My Sussie Skin Care Package: This arrived for me on the weekend and I am in love. My favourite product is the eye cream Toucha’ Love. I started using it on Monday because I am having a fierce reaction to something in Invercargill. It’s like hay fever symptoms quadrupled. I found myself on Sunday having to [...]

Six Things I’m Loving Today

#1: Weekend getaways with girlfriends. I had the best time on Saturay. I went on a little road trip to Dunedin with a carload of new girlfriends and we shopped the day away. Our feet were killing us and I’d almost lost my voice by the end of the day but I had so much [...]

Getting Rid of Mondayitis

Don’t you just love it when you have a great mail day? Instead of bills all you get are things like cheques, presents and magazines. Well I didn’t get any cheques today sadly (hehe) but I did, however, receive four Artist Trading Cards from four fellow NZ Artists. Yay! A big thank you to Collette [...]

Six Things I’m Loving Today

Number One: Bella Kai – I’d heard the name a few times but never paid much attention, that is until we drove out for some fun on the weekend and I spotted the new building located at the edge of town. Bella Kai is a new store in Invercargill and it’s awesome! It’s exactly what [...]

Come Go With Me

We carried on exploring our local surroundings on Saturday. It was amazing. Do you often explore the area where you live? After a week of horrendous weather, we woke up and saw the sun shining down on us and knew we weren’t staying in. No point in wasting a beautiful day! This time we headed [...]

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...

My name is Chavah. They say for a relationship to work you need a dreamer and a realist. I am the dreamer. My dreams are what I MAKE my reality. I am passionately curious, sometimes awkward and I have a somewhat ridiculous but infectious laugh. I live in the deep south of New Zealand, married to my realist husband. I need him, he keeps it real... like realists do. I spend my days raising four out-going children, it's as exhausting as one would imagine. Currently I live and breathe transforming my body into a powerful weapon. It's my new found love, so if you need me - find me at the gym. Actually don't, I dislike talking while I'm training. I've been described as eccentric, I quite like that. The definition of eccentric is 'deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice'; that sounds about right. I'm the crazy creative type, well actually I'm not that crazy. I know exactly what's up but I am creative. I'm an Artist that's exhibited extensively throughout NZ and sold pieces internationally but right now I'm busy raising children so instead my creative tendencies have been refocused on up-cycling furniture, redecorating my home, event planning and writing.

Stick around to read all about it.
