TERM 2 at @playdancecompany 🎤 I asked some of our dancers (and miss emily 💕) what they love about Play + their fave styles! Love all of their answers! 🫶🏼 I think me and my friends are going to make this a series because PLAY is too FUN not to share 🤗 love this place so much! Have a great term everyone 🫶🏼 #PlayDanceCompany

A big shout‑out to our amazing supporter, Mel from @joanneflowersofmanuka and Mel from @tinycreaturesco We made $6,000 in earring sales yesterday, not including donations and we truly couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for once again opening your beautiful space to us. Mel, Joanne and Mel (from @tinycreaturesco )we love that your shops is run by strong women, which fits so perfectly with our message of little women lifting up big women as we raise funds for women in brain cancer research at ANU at the @quinn_lab This year I’m joined by six incredible girls: Indie @offlondonhair , Vala @vala_star_ , Esme, Eva, Ruby @rubyblue_14 and Ali. The donation page is still via the link in our bio, and if you missed out yesterday, don’t worry Mel will have a little stand in her florist shop where you can pop in, say hello to her and her team, and buy your own pair.

The Z & M Co. girls have spent the past nine months creating more than 450 handmade earrings — and this red collection is just one of the many sets they’ll be bringing to tomorrow’s stall. This year I’m joined by six incredible girls: Indie @offlondonhair , Vala @vala_star_ , Esme, Eva, Ruby @rubyblue_14 and Ali. Every pair in this collection is completely unique and will never be repeated. The girls can’t wait to show you the full range and share the stories behind their work. 📍 Manuka Lawns (in front of @joanneflowersofmanuka ) 📅 Sunday 29 March ⏰ 8am – 1pm Come say hi, meet the girls, and pick out a pair that catches your eye. All funds raised go directly to the Zara Fund for Women in Brain Cancer Research at ANU, supporting mums and women in the @quinn_lab Quinn Brain Cancer Discovery Group as they continue their vital research. A collection made with heart, teamwork, and a whole lot of determination, ready for tomorrow.

Hi, I’m Zara — founder of Z & M Co. My team and I are getting everything ready for our fundraising stall on Sunday, 29 March. This year I’m joined by six incredible girls: Indie @offlondonhair , Vala @vala_star_ , Esme, Eva, Ruby @rubyblue_14 and Ali. Together, we’ve made more than 450 pairs of earrings to help support women in brain cancer research at ANU through the @quinn_lab Quinn Brain Cancer Discovery Group. We’ll be on the lawns at Joanne Flowers of Manuka from 8am–1pm. We’d love you to come by, say hello, and see what we’ve created. Every pair purchased — and every donation shared — helps women scientists continue their life‑saving research while raising their families. The link to our website and donation page is in the bio. Thank you for supporting our mission and helping us make a difference.

CANBERRA 🫶Thank you for giving where you live! Together we have made a real difference in the lives of those less fortunate. We look forward to helping many more people this Christmas 🎄 #givewhereyoulive #ittakesavillage #canberra #christmas

This week has been nothing short of amazing. Dancing all week, celebrating incredible talent, and walking away feeling so inspired 🤍 I am beyond proud of all my kids for pushing themselves outside their comfort zones and stepping beyond our little competition world in Canberra.
