Isn't he beautiful? Also yes, this is a REAL photo, taken by me yesterday at my brothers house with the fam for a Mothers Day coffee visit 🦋 Doesn't it absolutely suck - when we see photos or videos online now - and our first thought it asking ourselves if it's AI?

My personal advice to businesses on this rainy Monday - don't do it. Use AI as a tool, but don't be lazy and let it do everything for you. Don't let it write all of your posts without you rewording it. Don't let it create your event posters for you. Why?

Because they read and look no different to everyone elses who are doing the exact same thing.

Us being human, us being individuals, means that everybody is different. Human connection thrives because of it (can you imagine if we were all the same, how bloody boring). So to connect with customers, event attendees, someone who wants to approach you about a service you provide - give them something real to connect to.

🌻 Before I (try to) sign off for a day or two.. a quick couple of notes.
• We did it, we bought back the Christmas Parade 🎄❤️ so grateful for everyone's support during my crazy busy mind frame in getting that and the community event off the ground and done - isn't it amazing what can be achieved with the support of our lil community? It's a Gizzy Christmas is all done for 2025, thank you thank you thank you 🫶
• I wish I could say I get a 'break' over this time of year (I'll be honest, I need one!) but it is an event creator/managers busiest time - summer! ☀️
• Cruise Ship markets have started up again, Gizzy Monthly Market is back tomorrow evening for the first ever twilight market and then again on January 3rd for the normal timeframe.
• Dinner by the River is pencilled in for it's 12th event on January 17th.. the list goes on.
🫶 For anyone reading this, thank you for your support these last few months. Whilst ANLO Collective has been running under all it's separate names for seven years now, it was nice to find the right name to fit as an umbrella for them all this year, and have people recognise and support that.
Enjoy Christmas if you celebrate it, be safe over the New Year celebrations too🎄✨️

Going full Christmassy this year, with a gig on Friday and a market on Saturday, and then the Christmas Parade and community Christmas event both on Sunday. Usually I'm a long nail gal - but with playing guitar on Friday they needed to be short and out of the way. This is where Gemini Gels by Alice comes in. Gave her creative freedom but one rule - Christmas. Aren't they just the bee's knees 🤩
Friday 5th: Wrights Vineyard & Winery
Saturday 6th: Gizzy Monthly Market
Sunday 7th: It's a Gizzy Christmas

☀️ The Summer season is getting more and more busy - two upcoming Gizzy Monthly Market's for December 🎪, two Tairāwhiti Gisborne Cruise Ship Markets's for December 🛳, the It's a Gizzy Christmas parade and community event - both on the same day - in December 🎄, I have two gigs booked at Wrights Vineyard in December 👩‍🎤 (surprise, I'm a musician too), Dinner by the River falls on the 20th of December 🍜, and I've just taken on a role as a Social Media Manager for a local artist who is about to release her first album (more on that later). I LOVE being busy when it comes to work - it keeps me focused, motivated, and as I'm a serial procrastinator in the colder months it stops that from happening because I just don't have time to 😅 here's hoping it's a hot sunny month ☀️

Neat Places came to Gisborne and found out about Dinner by the River, I'm unsure how but how awesome to get some nice words about it on their website/social media accounts - I had no idea! Just stumbled across it yesterday on instagram 😅 So proud of my event 🥰 we're up tonight at Marina Park from 4-7pm if any of you want to see what the fuss is about 🍴

Hard to believe it with the beautiful sun now, but if the forecast is correct, then it'll be too wet for the Gizzy Monthly Market tomorrow. They're postponing to September 20th 🌧

August already?! We've got the Gizzy Monthly Market and Dinner by the River again this month under the ANLO umbrella, starting this Saturday for the market. Meetings are underway for the upcoming cruise ship seasonal markets and I've also started the planning for my annual It's a Gizzy Christmas event (started in 2024) and hopefully 🤞a Christmas Parade to add too. It will be a busy Summer ☀️ all going to plan!

Hi! Thought it was about time to introduce myself 👋 I'm Natasha, the owner of ANLO Collective, seen here on Night 6 of one of my events - Dinner by the River 🍴. ANLO includes all of my business adventures - of which events are currently taking priority, but for today I'm going to explain the origins of this particular one 🥣

I started DbtR with two trial months in February and March of this year to see if there was enough support for it after years of toying with the idea but waiting for the right moment to debut it - and the Gisborne public came out in force to show that there was indeed support, yay! ❤️

It was created due to a love of food, a strong need to support other local small businesses, and the idea that it would be pretty cool if all of our mobile food vendors could be found in the one spot atleast once a month, to have a night just to celebrate themselves and their creations. Dinner, desserts, coffee + bubble tea, we have quite the range to enjoy already and are hoping to include even more as time goes on.

Raging success so far I think! We have most Gizzy food carts with us on the 3rd Saturday of every month down at Marina Park, in the carpark during the wet months and on the grass of the reserve (which we prefer) when the grounds aren't wet and soggy (bring on summer!). The ones who don't come are either pre-booked, or struggle to move their food carts from their current semi-permanent spots so are giving it a miss.... for now ;)

Now that we know the support is there though, it's time to grow 🌱

I can't take all the credit for this myself, as without the food vendors, and the general public, this event would have stopped after the trial months. It's because of you Gizzy, that we have this awesome thing goin' on 🥰 let's keep it going and see where it takes us 🍴

Happy July 1st! ❄️ A new month means new event dates. The Gizzy Monthly Market is weather permitting so follow that page for updates, Dinner by the River runs in light on/off showers but same deal - keep an eye out for updates on both. There are new event collabs coming up and something BIG in the works 🎄👀 - we're just waiting to hear back about funding 🤞 before we announce what we're up to ⭐️
