Jungle Nails NZ

Lap 45 incoming 🎂🌎👵

18 years apart 📸 I know this young couple had no clue what life had in store for them but I just know they would be proud of us 😊
Happy 6 months in our new whare to us 🏡❤️

Merry Christmas Jungle Nail whanau 🎄🎅🏻
I hope you all had a wonderful few days with your loved ones, ate lots of yummy food, laughed till your stomach ached, survived customers, rolled your eyes at your silly husbands, took naps, ate leftovers with pudding & fell in love with your people even more ❤
May 2026 bring us all what our hearts desire, go easy on our souls & lead us down the brightest path ✨😎
Let us ride this rocket to infinity & beyond 🚀 who's coming?!

On the way to the airport to drop my big Sis off we discovered this beautiful field full of Blossom Trees, we got some stuuuunning family pics which i still haven't printed out 🥴 You guys only get to see my mug though 😂 I love discovering all these new things in a whole new place, after living in the same place for soooo long it was getting so stagnant I'm so excited to be able to feel a bit more free now 💜

Last week of November for 2025, say whaaaat!
These last few months have been such a whirlwind the time has just flown by, I need to get my 🍑 into gear for Xmas 🎅
Buuuut I got side tracked, the point of this post is to remind you guys its spring (almost Summer) so now is the perfect time to give those plant babies a trim ✂ I finally got the courage up to cut my Monstera Thai Constellation. I brought this bebe when they first came out & she's got massive so lets see if giving her a trim encourages her to sprout some more growth points. Pluuuus fingers crossed the 3 cuttings Ive got in water & clay balls grow some roots & survive 🤞 maybe a giveaway to you loyal most engaged peeps to show how much Ive missed you guys! ❤

Holy heckkkka where have the last two months gone?!
Boy we have alot to catch up on, lets start with halloween 🎃👻💉 Two different things, two different looks, two times the fuuuun!!
And yep I could see out of the red contact easy as, ironically it was harder to see out of my other eye because I didnt have my glasses on 👓 I mean thats not very spooky is it 😂

We did it!
After sooo many huge changes, life throwing us curveballs, sickness, redundancies, big let downs, struggles & what felt like one thing after another we finally get to live this huuuuuge high of buying our new home here in the Hawkes Bay & I could not be prouder of my family!

Thank you so much to all of you who have been there for us in these last 15 months, checked in, listened, been there when i needed to vent, listened to me cry, made me laugh, lifted me & my family up when we really truly needed it ❤️ We couldn't have done it without you guys, you know who you are 💜

Huuuuge shout out to the stunning Home Loan queen Te Awe at 'The Finance Team' for being nothing short of a legend & making this dream a reality for us just when I was starting to think we were never gng make it. Te Awe handled pretty much everything for us even while fielding my freak outs & doubt. If you're looking to buy or even want to see where you stand & make a plan get in touch, I promise you wont regret it! Big high five to Natasha for being an awesome real estate agent being the second half of the dream team for us (& for giving me Doritos), hit her up if you're looking to sell & let her know I sent you so I can get a goody bag 😂 Thank you ladies 💕

Me to me 📢
Life just continues to try & test me, its latest test starts with 're' and ends with 'dundancy' 😏 Yep, Mr. Jungle is changing companies which feels like the right path for us to follow now we have it secured buuuuuut the thought of having to up root my whole family again this soon really shook me. Luckily for the Hawkes Bay we have it sorted & wont be going anywhere just yet 😎
So whats next life?! Bring it on! Just kidding leave me the f**k alone now 😂
