As the year comes to a close we're taking time to slow down with friends and family. Here’s what our team will be listening to and reading over the break.  Boh Book: This coming holiday break I’ll trying to tame my garden/ plot of land which is both fun and daunting. I’ve started reading Trowel and Error; Over 700 Organic Remedies, Shortcuts and Tips for the Gardener by Sharon Lovejoy.  Songs: I’ll probably have my headphones on while pottering about dead heading roses so on high rotate (besides my usual rock favourites) will be a couple of new bangers I’ve taken a shine t ..read more

In celebration of World Literacy Day, Boh visited Sunnyvale Primary School in West Auckland in association with the Mazda Foundation and Duffy Books in Homes.

Meet my Partner in Shine, Toyah Attwell. Toyah is my friend, business partner and managing director of Boh Runga Design. The "left brain" to my right, Boh Runga Jewellery has made great leaps and bounds since the partnership. A timely suggestion by her at the end of 2019 to analyse and concentrate on the online side of our business meant that we kept our heads above water during what was to become years of great uncertainty and major adjustment for many SMBs facing the impacts of a pandemic. A year on from the birth of her daughter Marlie, Toyah shares some of her learnings; the val ..read more

Welcome to Take 5 where I take 5 questions to some lovely people I know (and some I don’t) and they tell us a little about themselves.   This Take 5 is a little different as I am talking with a critter. A very small, critter that needs our help. The Tara Iti is one of our rarest and most threatened species. This critically endangered bird has only 16 breeding pairs left in Aotearoa, with 12 pairs surviving on beaches between Whangarei and Auckland. The Endangered Species Foundation has identified tara iti (the New Zealand Fairy Tern) in its Top Ten Most Endangered Species List ..read more

Deborah Pead, who made the introductions that set the ball rolling and ..read more
