Fiji

Fiji.  The land of exotic tropical islands, big smiles, scorching heat and relaxing on their sun kissed beaches.  This was where we spent the last seven days relaxing and sunning ourselves on the Coral Coast south of the main island.  The five star hotel meanders down a gentle hill making it's way to the beach with little garden huts dotted in between palm trees and beautiful flowers as you stroll down.  We were luckily staying right next to the beach looking out over sea.  Situated on a hill behind the hotel is  BeBe Spa and bar where we spent most evenings there watching the sun set over the coast and eating tapas and treating yourself to a Fijian massage before you indulge.  

  The weather for the seven days was fantastic and not a drop of rain threatened us.  

This was the perfect holiday and I wish I could click my fingers to back under the sun, relaxing with not a care in the world.

P.S. apologies for the crazy amount of photos, too many to choose from!

Bon Voyage

One more sleep to go.  I fly to Fiji tomorrow morning and I am beyond excited, I'm almost like a five year old on Christmas Eve!  The boy and I are sharing a bag (no idea how we managed to compact everything down to one suitcase for seven days) I usually take the whole house and the sink anywhere I go.  But I'm guessing it will be hot so little is needed right?

A while ago I ordered some bits from Topshop and I was getting a little nervous that they would arrive while I was away (Australia post is not the best) but to my amazement there was a lovely polka dot package waiting for me when I got home after what felt like the longest day ever.

So what did I order....

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is one of their limited edition lipsticks.  I fell in love with the colour instantly.

The shade is called Pillow Talk.  It's a gorgeous soft pinky tone but very pigmented.  I usually do a few dabs along my lips to get a hint of the colour through and then for evenings I would apply with a thicker layer.

It feels gorgeous and moisturising on your lips which I like.  My lips dry out quiet easily so matt lipsticks out  normally out of the question unless I apply a balm underneath.  I'd highly recommend this little gem for your make-up bag.

Next was a blush in the shade Pop.  Now I normally like to test as much make-up as possible before buying online but I was in one of those spontaneous moods and went ahead and ordered it.  Feeling a little nervous when opening the packaging, I was stunned by out bright it was.  But when applying it lightly to the apple of my cheeks it gives a lovely peachy/coral tone.  I'm really looking forward to trying this while on holiday and looking a little sun kissed.

Topshop is finally opening in Sydney at the end of the year so I'm hoping they will have the make-up concession there as well so I can try out everything else.

Right, this was a super quick post I need to dash and finishing packing.  I know I'm going to forget something essential, but as long as I have my ticket, passport and bikini I'm a happy bunny!

Adios! x

Fiji time

Ok so I'm getting a little carried away....the boy and I have booked a seven night break in Fiji, however this little holiday is six weeks away roughly so I am wishing the weeks away (which is bad I know but this is our first holiday together in ages)

We're going to be staying in a resort south/west of the main island which is right next to the beach.  Since moving to Australia I am envious of everyone back in the UK booking cheap holidays to Europe and having long weekends in the South of France or Greece etc.  I do slightly regret not taking Europe to my full advantage while I lived there.  But still I've done more than your average 24 year old and I have been living in Australia for the past three and a half years, which get's heaps better summers than the UK will ever have.  

Not to mention to tropical Islands dotted to the East of Australia waiting for me to visit! So I guess I have one up on all of you back home....cheeky I know!

Anyway.  Fiji. Yes.  I am more than excited to say the least.  Here are some internet images of where we will be staying.....The count down is on!
