Driving Down to Hawke’s Bay

Frank kayaked 40 minutes out from the main beach at Onetangi to take in the scenery and get allllll this trash (or as they say here, rubbish). Out-of-the-way beaches always have tons of stuff washed up on their shores because they aren’t visited very often. So whenever we go, we try to grab as much…

Running a business while working and balancing every day life can be really challenging, but I find this really helps me start my week!

We’re Diana and Frank. We lovvve wine but hate how stuffy ppl in suits tell us what we can and can’t drink. We think that’s bullsh*t.    So, we started Responsible Hedonist to bring tasty, sustainably made wines from Aotearoa New Zealand – that *aren’t* Sauvignon Blanc.    We’re just getting started, but we can’t…

We went for another bushwalk to another beach less traveled. We found so much stuff, the next time we’re gonna bring a bag to carry it all in. This one is for Chris and Jeanelle!

Frank and I usually go to less traveled beaches, but there’s always something to pick up – even at the most popular beaches. Palm Beach is frequented by locals and one of our favorites. We found scooped this up on behalf of Sara and Alex!!
