Beautiful way to start the day ...

I did the most beautiful thing today. 

Picked up at 4am (!!!) we headed up to Mareeba which is about one hour 

out of Cairns to go Hot Air Ballooning. 

It's something I had always thought about doing so we decided why not. 

I wasn't nervous at all, surprisingly but just excited.

 As we arrived, the group before us was just taking off ...

 Then it was time for our balloon to get ready ...

 Eeek I'm chosen to be the first one in the basket ...

And up we went!

It's just not what I thought it would be at all.It is so quiet, so calm. 

You don't even feel like you're moving at all but then you realise the ground 

is getting further and further away and you just don't feel any fear.  

There is no desire to be holding on, you kind of feel free.

We got so high, 4,200 feet to be exact and we were surrounded by the clouds.

It was just white and silence - amazing. Such a surreal feeling. 

In the picture above you can see around the shadow of our balloon a rainbow circle.

Before we knew it we had to come back down. 

Our pilot Jay was amazing at what he does, it was so smooth. 

Smack bang in the middle of a field there was one bump as we landed and

then another slight one, but that was all.

 Fun part was you get to help the boys pack up the balloon 

which involved getting all the air out of it!

Now you all know I don't advertise or do any of that stuff on my blog.

I share what I truly love and if you are ever in the Cairns region you need to do this.

And you need to go through Hot Air.

They are also located on the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

It was a truly beautiful experience and the views just lovely.

The pilot and all crew were really great, professional and alot of fun.

The Offices of Ruby Press

It's no secret that I have a love of gorgeous, stylish workspaces or 

that one day I would like to have my own little business. 

So that's why I must share with you the offices of Ruby Press, a boutique Public Relations Agency representing style driven businesses. 

How beautiful is the detail on the facade of the building

A touch of modern in the space with the red Knoll stool

A must have - inspiration board

 

How lovely  to work in a space everyday that has those windows

Believe it or not, but the chairs are from Pottery Barn Teen!

You can read more about Ruby Press and their gorgeous workspace here at The Glitter Guide.

Memory Jar

How cute is this little idea, a Memory Jar.

 

Through the year note down your good, your bad, your happy, your sad moments and put it in the jar.

Then next New Year's Eve, tip them all out and read them. 

Truly remember the year you've had!

I'm definitely doing this in 2012.

2011 ...

I can't believe we are about to say farewell to 2011.

What a year it has been, I feel like so much has happened this year and I'm not sure how I fit it all in!

 

I guess first up at the beginning of the year, I moved up to Cairns. 

It was never a permanent place to be and has taken some getting used to.

The decision to move so remotely from friends and family has been a challenging situation.

 

I faced a few challenges and many successes at work and am proud of what I have achieved.

 

A few friendships have become much closer and I appreciate all their support and love. 

I don't think this year would have been as good if it wasn't for them.

Whilst maintaining these friendships next year, I want to spend some more time on a couple of other friendships.

 

This one speaks for itself really!

I travelled, almost every month I was on a plane whether it be within Australia or overseas.

I visited Hong Kong, Sanya and Singapore this year, all for work but managed a bit of personal time there.

Work or not, lot's of fun was had!

As always blogging has been a consistent and one of the most enjoyable parts of my life. 

I even introduced my second blog to nuture my love of fashion too, The Orange Book.

I thank everyone who reads, follows and comments on my blogs.

I can't express how much I appreciate it.

 

And now as the year comes to an end, I have so much going on.

I can't say too much at this time but I cannot wait to share some news with you all in the new year.
