Making GIRL TIME a<br />
I recently had the opportunity to catch up with<br />
two of my school friends and their partners in Noosa<br />
for a few days. We have known each other since<br />
before double digits and always manage to sneak in<br />
a get together as often as our busy lives allow. The<br />
last few years have included wedding trips full of<br />
rushing around, both for our own and for mutual<br />
friends, so this was the first time in a few years we<br />
had the chance to just chill... beach time, late<br />
lunches and shopping without a time schedule, and<br />
it was so good for my soul to see these girls again.<br />
I have come to the conclusion it wouldnt matter if I<br />
didnt see them for 2 or 3 years our relationships<br />
would still be the same, but I really have to make<br />
seeing them more often a priority. Its important to<br />
make time to catch up with those friends of ours who<br />
we can be our craziest selves with, because they<br />
are the ones who give us belly aching laughs and<br />
we all know how good for us they are!<br />
Even if you can only afford to plan one weekend<br />
every 3 years, SET THE DATE, and make a plan.<br />
Even just the thought of knowing you will see the<br />
girls in the future could be enough to get you<br />
through that next load of washing or those next few<br />
hours of work. Some girls I know have some very<br />
exciting trips planned but for me while my baby girl<br />
is little I am playing it safe with planning a weekend<br />
at home this summer! BBQ’s, walks to the lake,<br />
lunch at the vineyards....<br />
perfect!<br />

Too Easy....
Body<br />
Box<br />
The body Box launched by accident really, we knew<br />
we wanted to branch out into the ultimate mummy<br />
boxes and underwear for men but beauty and body<br />
products were not our main line of business. Over<br />
the last few months however we have been emailing<br />
every beauty and skincare supplier in New Zealand<br />
to request free samples for our underwear boxes.<br />
We have been met with the same response from<br />
most people - “no freebies but here is our price list”.<br />
I’ve never thought much about the wholesale price of the skincare and cosmetic products I buy but when<br />
we saw the price list we knew we could provide great boxes for a reasonable rate and becaause we<br />
already promote our website to busy working women, it should be easy to get the word out there! Plus this<br />
product could actually suit our existing customers. We set to work getting samples and making up mock<br />
boxes so we could see the type of goodies we could put together and we realised that the best items we<br />
could include were the ones that offered the recipient the opportunity to slip away for 15 minutes a few<br />
times throughout the month to try their new face scrub, or taste the new herbal tea blend. So with that in<br />
mind we are stocking up on products that offer 15 minutes of relaxation and luxury to our members!! Enjoy<br />
the body box and if you want to know what our latest customers are saying visit our Facebook page!<br />

Instagram<br />
Meet Jess... the MyTreat Instagrammer. Jess and<br />
Rosie have known each other since before school<br />
and when Rosie and Johanna became friends<br />
around the age of 11, Jess was introduced too. So<br />
it’s a perfect fit for Jess to join the MyTreat family<br />
and combined with her entertaining social posts, her<br />
presence adds a breath of fresh air to the MyTreat<br />
marketing team.<br />
She has recently returned from 2 years in London,<br />
travelling to all the best spots in Europe so she has<br />
had plenty of practice taking a good picture. Jess is<br />
also a proud plus sized woman, she is sharp,<br />
confident and beautiful, and the perfect person to<br />
help MyTreat make sure their plus sized products are<br />
on point!<br />
Jess, Can you please tell us why you think New<br />
Zealand women would benefit from a MyTreat<br />
subscription?<br />
New Zealand is a small country and we can<br />
sometimes be limited in our choices depending on<br />
the styles and sizes the retailers in our communities<br />
choose to offer. MyTreat engages with a range of<br />
styles and sizes to offer more range and creativity<br />
than a traditional retailer.<br />
What do you like about the My<br />
What do you like about the MyTreat underwear<br />
products you have tested out?<br />
Lace is favourite feature for me. And variety of colour!<br />
Are you a city or country girl?<br />
I grew up in the country but fell in love with the big<br />
cities. I love the collaborative vibe of a city.<br />
There are people from every country and culture<br />
which build’s vibrant neighbourhoods that offer<br />
characteristics, activities and different foods<br />
around every corner.<br />
What do you think is the ideal instagram post?<br />
I like posts from designers. Room decor ideas and<br />
anything promoting body positivity.<br />
Personal obbsession?<br />
Nail polish. And nail art.<br />
Make up<br />
And any hair product that help me tackle dry or<br />
frizzy hair!<br />
What is your pet peeve about shopping for<br />
underwear?<br />
Lack of variety in larger Sizes. Lots of retailers still<br />
stop at 18, also an 18 is not always consistent<br />
across all shops so even though you many fit one<br />
size in one place you may not fit it in another.<br />
”Every woman likes choice<br />
regardless of her size”.<br />
@MyTreat
FINALLY<br />
we<br />
found<br />
the<br />
perfect<br />
plus-size<br />
supplier<br />
So we launched our<br />
MyTreat.co.nz site in<br />
August and within a few<br />
short months we have<br />
received over 200 sign<br />
ups from women around<br />
New Zealand.<br />
We are all about feedback<br />
and openly ask for it<br />
throughout the website,<br />
one comment we kept<br />
receiveing was ‘what<br />
about bigger sizes...??’.<br />
With the help of our<br />
Facebook followers we<br />
have tested the quality<br />
and size of our new<br />
plus size supplier and we<br />
are all really happy to finally<br />
have beautiful XL and XXL<br />
boxes available to our<br />
customers. We know its<br />
important to cater to all<br />
women and all sizes so the<br />
hunt is on for even more<br />
quality sources so we can<br />
continue to offer cute<br />
underwear for all sizes.<br />
To start with we contacted<br />
China but they have got no<br />
idea about western larger<br />
sizes and after recieving<br />
stock marked XL that fitted<br />
my size 10 sister, we knew<br />
we had to search further<br />
afield.<br />
The end result was<br />
contacting a department<br />
store in the USA and<br />
having the store manager<br />
go and hand select the<br />
plus size items for us.<br />
Unfortunately he was<br />
unable to send direct to<br />
New Zealand so we got<br />
them shipped to Australia<br />
where my mother in-law<br />
lives and I picked them up<br />
last week when we went on<br />
a fanily and friends<br />
holiday to Noosa. But it is<br />
worth all the effort<br />
becausethe stock is<br />
perfect... you will LOVE it!<br />

Why we love Linden Leaves<br />
We love family businesses, and we love businesses<br />
who give back to the community and the<br />
environment, so when you combine these two<br />
together in a New Zealand cosmetics company that<br />
is focused on providing luxury products you can<br />
understand why our ears pricked up! Using<br />
sustainable ingredients and employing the family to<br />
help grow the business, its exciting to learn more<br />
about what drove a family to take the durastic step<br />
of starting a skin care brand.<br />
Linden Leaves was founded by Brigit Blair in 1995<br />
in Christchurch, New Zealand to help care for two<br />
of her children who suffered severe eczema and<br />
allergies. At the time, natural and effective products<br />
that were kind to sensitive skin were hard to find,<br />
and so out of necessity, Linden Leaves was born.<br />
Brigit began harvesting and freeze-drying roses,<br />
and blending fruit and flower oils with the unique<br />
scent of essential oil blends. It became a real<br />
labour of love for Brigit, who set out to create<br />
beautiful, effective and quality handmade natural<br />
products that were kind to the skin.<br />
From a humble family kitchen operation, Linden<br />
Leaves has expanded into an internationally<br />
recognised brand known for its natural everyday<br />
luxury handmade products.Devoted to effective,<br />
natural products created from the best quality<br />
ingredients, Brigit’s vision for Linden Leaves has<br />
always been focused on beautiful, effective and<br />
gentle products to nourish the skin and soothe the<br />
soul.<br />

OUR<br />
NEW<br />
FAVOURITE<br />
things:<br />
Seamless underwear<br />
How have we never found these<br />
before? For anyone who is not a<br />
fan of G-Strings but still loves to<br />
wear form fitting pants, you will<br />
LOVE these!! They are so<br />
comfortable and there is<br />
absolutely no underwear line!<br />
Since we have received our<br />
stock, I have seen them on the<br />
racks at farmers starting from<br />
around $19.95 and the best<br />
thing is the range of awesome<br />
bright colours!!!<br />
We do have some limited stock<br />
left which will be going out in our<br />
MyTreat underwear boxes next<br />
month and when we get your<br />
feedback, (provided you love<br />
them as much as we do), we will<br />
order some more for the new<br />
year!!<br />
Love a POP of<br />
colour!
