Did you know I wrote this exact same email to you precisely 365 days ago? Yes, the 30th of December 2017. And now we’re here – 30th December 2018, with another glorious year having flown us by.

I hope you’ve had a great one. Perhaps you started a new business or job? Perhaps you added a member to your family. Or perhaps, I hope, you made some positive progress on your own personal health journey.

If not – I’m here for you! My absolute joy would be to stand alongside you, and help you take those next steps towards you achieving your very best health in 2019.

Whether it’s coming to see me for a one-on-one consult, attending one of my in-person or online workshops, or simply sending me a quick email here. I would love to hear what’s challenging you right now with your physical or mental health, and guide you in the right direction.

Make my day and email me. Natural health truly is my life’s passion, so it would be the best birthday gift ever (cat out of the bag there!).

Lemon lovers – this is the perfect celebration cake! Deliciously healthy, tart and tangy, low sugar, vegan, GF, & with a keto option too. She might look posh, but contains just 10 ingredients + 2 simple steps.

In the meantime, a quick summary of what we’ve been up to here at BGO? Key milestones…

  • I had a baby, Torin Jack Glucina, 7th October. He’s a babe (I’m biased I know). We now have a perfect family of 4 = blessed.
  • We launched our essential oils and natural health workshops, I taught over 60 of them, and we now have 315 incredible members in our community.
  • We gained 3 new staff members – Holly, Becky, and Amber. Along with our Bella, we’re now a band of 6 (Tony counts, he does the accounts), and I couldn’t be happier with our glorious team.
  • We hit 39.4k followers on Instagram, 94.6k on Facebook, and had 1.8 million of you check out our recipes on Pinterest. What a tribe! If you’re not already hanging out with us over there, come find us.
  • We made a whopping 50 new recipe videosYes 50. Almost one a week. If you’re keen to see some behind the scenes action on those, stay tuned to my Insta stories – we’re going to be sharing a lot more of those there next year!
  • We got some super cool new products in our online Be Good Organics health store. My favs – these delicious Flint chocolates, this lush Scandi style essential oil diffuser, and my daily addiction – this life saving productivity planner and journal. If you’re in NZ or Australia, we offer free shipping over a certain amount, so get on that!

Thank YOU so much for being here with me this year. Reading my emails, making my recipes, sharing your remakes on social, and just generally being an all round awesome human. Without you – BGO wouldn’t be the 6 year old beauty that it’s become!

Oh yes – those recipes. Make sure you check them out. Five of our most popular – as liked, commented on, remade, and shared by you. If you’re looking for some New Year’s inspo, guaranteed to please even the fussiest of guests, this quintet is sure to give you the goods.

Take care, stay well, and remember – get in touch with me as we launch into 2019. Online friends are great, but in-person buddies are even better.

Sending you love from Costa Rica. Til 2019, stay well!

Here’s what you had to say..

  • “Anything citrus in a dessert is my absolute favourite and this tart definitely didn’t disappoint” ~ Hayley
  • “Hi Buffy, I have just got back from a neighbour’s Australia Day party after taking your gorgeous Citrus tart as my contribution. It was immensely enjoyed by all. Someone commented that it was like a gelato in a tart.” ~ Helen
