It's Friday I'm in Love

Ahhhh nothing like clearing the desk, shutting down the PC and leaving work for the weekend. Just awesome!!!!
So my weekend has begun with a relaxed night in with the family. All set to watch my Kangaroos play tonight and maybe some chorus in between.
Then Saturday...fun filled day. I'm heading to the Melbourne Souq to check out Dian Pelangi's current range which will be showcased. It's an event filled day. Can't wait to catch up with friend & shop the stalls that will be available.
I'll update the blog with all the pictures from the day and a dinner with Melbourne bloggers and our beautiful sisters from interstate Neemah from Chronicles of a Hijabi and Haiina from Muslim Street Fashion.

Photo Walk

 

 

Two weeks ago a friend and colleague Melissa organised a photo walk for me and others to do. Melissa is a photographer who runs her own business called Memories of Mine Photography. A talented photographer and a even better friend. I love her work and can’t wait to learn from her more and more. She suggested I hire the lens I was planning to buy soon and boy was that a great idea. Being able to use the new lens with her help at the time was great. I was able to see the potential in both lenses which made the decision very easy. It was extremely kind of her to spend her time with me and my cousin. Having her mentor and friend Allan a Nikon user come to help me as a fellow Nikon user was fantastic. Talking to them and getting tips was certainly wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and looking forward to more photo walks to come.

Hiring is a wonderful idea, one I wasn’t very familiar with. I hired the 50mm 1.4f and the 1.8 prime lenses for a day from Michael’s Camera house.

Here is the link to her website and Facebook page:

And now here are the shots Hiba and I took with the two lenses I was trying:

 

 

 

Here are Melissa’s photo’s:

There you have it. This is how I spent a Sunday strolling Melbourne’s hidden walkways and lanes.

Please like Mel’s facebook page and check out the beautiful work she does.

Until next time,

Love always,

Rock climbing anyone?

 

It’s been awhile alright. I’m back!!!! hopefully that was the end of the break. A break I needed and happy to have taken. So much outings and events I have attended but never shared on here. Blogging became a chore at one stage and so I thought to give it a break. I want to go back to enjoying the sharing. And also for my beautiful niece Hajar who’s repeatedly been begging me to go back to posting so she can keep up to date with me. This is for you gorgeous.

So to kick off the new post here is a indoor rock climbing centre the girls and I visited 2 weeks ago. Let me set the record straight.. Rock climbing is bloody hard work. Yeah no, I knew that but boy did I underestimate the fitness levels required to get up. Loads of laughs and so partner trust issues was experienced but all worth it. Sweaty and exhausted we headed off to get a bite and refuel. I'm very lucky to have these girls willing to go out and always try something new. Thank you lovelies.
