Fortunately, there are effective techniques to help us unwind and promote relaxation, paving the way for a restful slumber. Here are a few tips to consider:
1️⃣ Bedtime routine: Create a consistent routine with calming activities like reading, bathing, or gentle stretches. Avoid electronic devices due to their interference with sleep hormones.
2️⃣ Deep breathing & meditation: Practice slow, deep breaths in a quiet space with closed eyes. Start with a few minutes of meditation daily and increase gradually.
3️⃣ Physical activity: Engage in enjoyable exercise like walking, yoga, or sports. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days.
4️⃣ Sleep-friendly environment: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Use comfortable bedding, a supportive mattress, and remove stressors like work-related items or electronics.
5️⃣ Relaxation techniques: Try progressive muscle relaxation, aromatherapy, soothing music, or gentle yoga poses. Release tension and prepare for a peaceful sleep.
Remember, it takes time to find what works best for you. Be patient and kind to yourself. By prioritizing relaxation and incorporating these techniques, you can reduce stress, unwind, and wake up refreshed.
Sweet dreams! ✨

My name is Rachael and my partner Aneta and I are available to pet/house sit.
Here is a little info about us:
My name is Aneta. I am 28 years old and I am a vet nurse at Veterinary Specialists Aotearoa. I have been a vet nurse for over 5 years now. In my free time I love spending time with family and friends and going for walks. I have three animals of my own 2 dogs and a cat, who currently live in Wellington with my parents. I have house/petsit for dogs and cats in the past, especially pets that have recovered from surgery or need daily medications.
I’m Rachael. I am 24 and also work at Veterinary Specialists Aotearoa as a Canine Hydrotherapist. I’ve been at VSA for 2.5 years now and have loved helping rehabilitate dogs in need. I currently have a cat of my own, and a golden retriever I co-own with my sister. I have also previously worked for a cat minding company taking care of feline friends while owners were on holiday.
We have plans to be away in Europe from August to October 2023, but are available before and after this period.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your home and/or furry friends feel free to get in touch!
Flick us a message if you have any questions or would like some references.
Thanks,
Aneta and Rachael

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.
Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.
Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.
