About Us
Kiaora!
Ko Donna taku ingoa. I'm Donna. My hubby Mike and I, together with our four teens live in Whangamatā on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula. We love everything about nature, the great outdoors, and adventure! Being in our amazing environment is what motivates us to preserve it - for us here and now, and for the generations to come.
You may also be on a journey of living a simple life, with a desire to use natural products with ingredients you can actually pronounce, to reduce waste and to tread lightly on our whenua (land).
Our small, whānau beekeeping business is making an effort to care for our bees, people and planet.
In 2016, my daughter Olivia - then 9yrs old came home from school announcing that we had to "Stop using plastic … because it was killing the sea turtles!". Their enquiry on ‘Te Moana’ was looking at the effects of plastic waste that ends up in our oceans.
Being beekeepers, I decided to have a go at making 'beeswax wraps' that I'd heard about. To save the turtles, yes - AND to show Livvy that you're never too young to be a voice of change. Littlbit Wraps was born to encourage and remind people that making small, sustainable changes to care for Papatūānuku - Mother Earth - is enough. Just do a little bit every day ... or every other day! A little bit CAN make a big difference!
Now along with our handmade, small batch soap range, all under the banner of Naturally Coromandel, we're excited to continue to bring these beautiful products to you..
Thanks for being a part of our journey toward a simpler life - getting back to basics to make time for what's really important.
Arohanui
