Layer Up & Save

Time to channel your inner pup and layer up! 🐕✨

Before you reach for the heater remote to bump up the temperature, try layering up first. Throw on a comfy oversized sweater, put on some thick socks, and keep plenty of cozy throw blankets on the couch.

Not only does it make your living room feel incredibly inviting, but your energy bill will thank you at the end of the month. 📉💛

Only heat the room you are using

Heating an empty house? That’s just burning through your budget! 💸

Save big on your winter electricity or gas bills by zoning your heating. Close the doors to spare bedrooms, formal dining rooms, or hallways, and only heat the space you’re actually spending time in.

Smart habits make for a happy wallet. What’s your favorite winter budget-saver? 👇

Let the sunshine in! ☀️

Your curtains are actually a secret weapon for temperature control. During the day, open them up on sun-facing windows to naturally heat your home for free. As soon as the sun goes down, shut them tight to trap that warmth inside and create an extra layer of insulation.

Use a hot water bottle or heat pack

There is nothing worse than climbing into a freezing cold bed at night! 🥶🛌

Skip the expensive electric blanket left on all night and go old-school. Pop a hot water bottle or a heated wheat pack under the covers 15 minutes before bedtime. It creates the perfect warm cocoon to help you drift off to sleep effortlessly.

How are you staying warm tonight? ☕👇

Brrr... feel that chilly breeze sneaking in under the door? 🥶

One of the easiest (and cutest!) ways to keep your home cozy and lower your energy bills this winter is by using draft stoppers. Whether it's a classic "draft dog" like this one or a sleek modern seal, blocking those gaps keeps the warm air in and the cold air out.

What’s your go-to trick for keeping your living room cozy? Let us know below! 👇

I'm at the back of our place early this morning and I'm absolutely thrilled to be surrounded by Huatoki river and the lush riparian zones we've planted over 13 years. We've just completed an incredible journey planting out the gullies and swampy areas with native trees, and now we're adding some stunning feature trees like Puri, which I adore, and provide a haven for wood pigeons and Tuis.
An investment into the future. Back breaking but worth it.
