'The Good Guide' Summer 21/22

Welcome to our 'summer' edition of the good guide.
What a start to the summer we have had in the Bay of Plenty: Whakatāne & Ohope are the top spots for sunshine, and the water temperature, as warm as I can remember. Fantastic for blowing away the cobwebs in the morning and refreshing the senses in the afternoon. There's a reason Donna & I have always drifted back to the Bay!
We have put together our top 10 summer essentials from Sol+Sea, our favorite mineral sunscreen, and natural skincare range, designed for a generation that knows better and cares more about the future in front of them. To Goodbye SANDFLY,  we love to use natural products, especially on our skin, Goodbye SANDFLY is New Zealand's #1 selling natural repellent since 2009, Use to hide your smell from mosquitoes, no-see-ums, midges and black flies.

Hopefully, your reading this on your deck, or at your desk, planning your summer adventure with the family, wherever you are, we wish you a fantastic fun filled summer, full of adventures and stories to be shared.
