It’s not often you step into a space that feels like a warm hug. Then there’s Sala—a multidisciplinary movement studio, the brainchild of London native; Sarah Lindsay. Welcomed with an abundance of energy, Sarah speaks with wisdom and a uniquely refreshing worldview. Being in her presence is uplifting, her positivity contagious, and her energy magnetic. The kind of feeling you can’t help but want to hold onto.

So when we got a chance to chat with Sarah, the founder of one of Auckland’s most influential movement studios—the connection was, well… magic. Her story is woven through space and movement, made up of a million little moments that led her, and in a way, all of us, to here.

If you’re anything like us, sometimes it takes Christmas to bring out our crafty side ( enter this year’s limited-edition carry bag that turns into a festive decoration ). But then, there are people like Bex who have that magic touch all year round. From founding the iconic Willis York salon in Wellington to becoming a self-taught ceramicist in the sunny north, she turns everything she touches into art. Naturally, when we wanted someone special to help create a step-by-step tutorial to turn our carry bag into a Christmas decoration, Bex was on the top of our list, and lucky for us, we got to ask a few questions as it unfolded (or folded in this case.)

Life happens, messes happen, and that dribble of coffee nearly always happens. When it comes to laundry, it isn't our first rodeo (or The Dirt Company's either). So when we got the opportunity to talk to Frankie about all things laundry and doing less of it, you bet we asked her the dirty questions.
