One Sparkly Life

I was lucky enough last week to spend 3 days in Sydney with the rest of my Fundraising Management Team at a conference. It was great to finally put faces to names and voices that I have been chatting yo and working with for the last 12 months. Loads of information, great ideas and networking. Such an inspiring bunch. We worked out between us 20 individuals we have 138 years experience in Fundraising! Amazing. No wonder we are going great guns! On Tuesday night after a massive day were were treated to an amazing sunset cruise with dinner and drinks on the Harbour. (Thank you Barter Card for your loyalty points system for the free trip!) I managed to get some great shots of the sunset over iconic Sydney. The Opera House The Sydney Harbour Bridge Thank you Sydney for the most amazing weather! xxx

There were some amazing sunsets (as you can imagine) that I captured while in Fiji and I want to share them with you.  My trip was 6 nights so here are my favourite sunset shots from each night. Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 And a bonus....... Sunrise on my last day - the only day I managed to get up before the sun. Beautiful. (What else do you need to say??) xxx

Hopefully you have all stayed with me and you enjoy some highlights of my trip below.  WARNING: The following pictures may make you book a holiday in Fiji! So from the start - I booked my holiday to Sonaisali Island Resort , Fiji. 6 lovely days and nights in the sun. I packed the suitcase full of lightweight clothes, swimsuits and 5 very thick novels to enjoy. I planned a week of reading, sleeping, eating, swimming and sun. And that is what I got. Everyday was dawned bright and warm. After breakfast I would wander along till i found a deckchair with a view I liked, and there iIwould stay until sunset or hunger dragged me back to the main part of the resort for food and further refreshments. The island offered many activities to keep you occupied but i chose to just keep reading! And I LOVED IT! A week of pure rel

It's official, on Tuesday I will be jetting my way to a week in Fiji. I finally made decision and booked my holiday on Thursday. (Nothing like leaving it to the last minute). Found my passport, nearly finished packing my bag and I am ready to head off!! I am swapping this Melbourne Skyline from my Balcony For This.... Sonaisali Island Resort , Fiji A week of blissful peace, quiet, sunshine and reading. The playlist is complete and new earphones have been purchased.

Along with some snorkelling, cocktails, swimming and whatever else catches my eye.  But I am not going alone. Meet my new travel companion.... Bumble.

All this craving of amazing sunshine has come to fruition this weekend with most amazing weather. So how did I celebrate? With breakfast, music and a good book on the balcony, all weekend!
