With all the emphasis on hand-washing these days, we thought it would be a good time to share our story with you.
My partner and I were looking for a totally natural and gentle cleanser without the use of liquid detergent body wash. We found that the detergents in body washes made our skin dry and itchy while soap seemed to be far gentler (and natural!).
After our switch, what we did miss was the rich lather and scrub you get from using a loofah and a big dollop of body wash! The soap bars got used up quickly and became a slippery, soggy mess.
And that started our mission to find a better way.
We shopped around but couldn’t find anything that suited us. So, we decided to take matters into our own hands. We tried a few different things but success came after wrapping a bar of soap in wool and felting it under warm water.
Not only did the soap lather through the wool, it provided a gentle scrub, the bar lasted for ages and no mushy soapy mess in the shower!
Victorious, we decided that we couldn't keep this to ourselves. This was when Bruntwood Lane was born. We began hand felting bars and selling them at weekend markets. Those who hadn't heard of it (which was everyone) were intrigued by the idea and gave it a go.
The feedback was tremendously positive. And we’ve continued ever since!
A bar will typically last for 4-6 weeks so, if you’re starting to run out of your felted wool soap, don’t worry! We've continued to hand-craft our felted soap here in Tauranga over this last month to help kiwis stay clean with quality felted soap made from local ingredients.
And if you haven't yet, give felted soap a go!
" WE ARE OPEN "
Hope you are all well.
Regards Colin.

With the Te Papa Plan, we are aiming to create neighbourhoods where we have everything that we like and need to do on a daily basis close by, and we can choose how we get there. Share your views on how we can work towards this and what you think we should prioritise first.
We appreciate the reaction from some of you to transfer stations remaining closed at level 3 and possibly level 2. And equally, the questions raised about recycling going to landfill. There are good reasons for this, but it’s a longish story. So if you’re interested – have a read of this.

And by the way, your desire to recycle is making us proud. We can't wait to be able to provide these services again. Thank you.

From 11am NZST on Thursday 30 April until Sunday 17 May, Artfair.co.nz will be hosting a Virtual Art Fair where you will discover more than 30 galleries from New Zealand and Australia displaying works that would have otherwise been seen at the 2020 Auckland Art Fair.
The Virtual Art Fair is in recognition of the artists who have already made special works for the Auckland Art Fair that couldn’t happen, and the galleries who have supported them in doing so.
“It comes at a time of global uncertainty, when the importance of art, community and culture are especially apparent,” their team said in a recent statement.
The Auckland Art Fair is designed to be “a celebration – as best we can – of the talent and diversity of art making by artists from our region; not only across New Zealand and Australia, but also around the wider Pacific-rim. We hope that, wherever possible, some of these artists and galleries will be supported by someone buying a work of art.”
Browse, look, enquire and consider as you get to know new galleries and artists in support of contemporary culture at a time when the artists and galleries really need it.

We’ve asked members of our community what they think living in a more compact city could be like - right here in Tauranga, and in the Te Papa peninsula.
Listen to what Mary, Rick, Holly and Andrew think the future of our city could look like, and why this is the time to get involved.
