Millie & Hinemoa's trip

Publish date: Wednesday, 20 Dec 2017, 3:31PM

Hinemoa last made headlines back in June when Millie posted this snap of her brand new Moko Kauae:

Something very special happened in my life today, my mum has made her #Mokokauae (Moko Kauae - women's Maori face tattoo) something she has been talking about for years, its a symbol of a deep connection with your culture and ancestors....I don't often speak about my #Maori heritage because I feel so much more connected with my Greek side but when I see things like this and when I sat with my mum for her first #TaMoko (traditional Maori tattoo) I'm blown away with the power and energy around these traditions. I'm so fucking proud of you mum, it looks like it was meant to be there, it's so apart of you, you blow me away with you intuitiveness and strength I'm hoping to be even half the woman you are.... " For Māori women, the moko kauae, or traditional female chin tattoo, is considered a physical manifestation of their true identity. It is believed every Māori woman wears a moko on the inside, close to their heart; when they are ready, the tattoo artist simply brings it out to the surface." - broadly @ vice . . . . . #maori #tamoko #maoritattoo #māori #mokokauae #proud #mymumma

And it seems that the two have been spending a lot of time together over the past few months over in Thailand enjoying the beautiful culture & weather.

Millie shared this snap of the two a while back enjoying the pool on her 'CleaneatzNZ' Instagram account:

Could not be happier to be making these memories with my beautiful mum by myside @drhinemoa ✨ today was my first day of full juice, and supplements, I tried angel of water therapy again; it’s getting less gross 😂 I’m really enjoying this time to get serious about my health, we all need a little reboot sometimes and even tho it’s hard right now and I’m feeling a headache as I write this I know I’m going to feel fantastic at the end of it! When was the last time you really looked at your health? . . . . . #detox #wellness #retreat #thelifeco #mumanddaughter #thailand #phuket #recharge #reboot #reset #vegan #rawvegan #greenjuice #cleaneatznz

She also shared this one, of the two looking amazing in the pool together:

It doesn’t matter if you have long or short hair, if your goals are growth or health. Me and mum use @ora.pure.nz for totally different reasons, I use it for growth and she uses it for strength and thickness. Ora pure has just improved their formula, it now tastes less sweet and contains added Elastin for more supple skin and bromelain a digestive enzyme to help with collagen absorption, digestion, and inflammation. has anyone received their new formula what did you think? I’ve had some great feed back from ladies this week saying the have experienced reduced join pain, better poops (you know I’m all for the good poos💩😂) fuller hair, and less nail breakage, and added healing post op. Cleaneatznz will get you 15% off their products, I take the renew+ because I don’t enjoy taking pills but their capsules are great for people who don’t enjoy taking powders. They now have lay-buy for nz customers. . . . . . . #1111 #mumandme #hairgoals #hairgrowth #orapure #nz #phuket #thailand #wellness #collagen #haircare #cleaneatznz #gummywhat #activeingredients #realshit #realresults

And by the looks of things, Millie is making the most of having her mum/personal photographer by her side in the foreign land:

When your mum tells you to go pose on a rock you zoolander that shit 😜🌴 @drhinemoa ♥️ . . . . . . #ink #tattoos #inkedgirls #tattoogirls
