And we’re back!!! Did you miss us?
The past 2 weeks have been filled with wild adventures and zero screen time - which I can totally recommend - and now we’re revitalised and ready to hunt down all the freshest drops for you. This week we’ve got:

  • a promising new space opening 💥

  • Free yoga weekend 🧘🏻‍♀️

  • Exhibition openings 🎨

  • second hand surf market 🌊

  • electro night 🔊

  • and lots of great workshops

Remember:
Worrying is just stressing about something that hasn’t yet, and may never happen. So exhale, relax and know that you’ll be able to deal with it if/when it happens.
