God is the biggest Love of my life....so here are some pics of my church :)

I currently go to HILLSONG church in Sydney, a very large christian church. You can visit their website on hillsong.com

I really love going there and wanted to share some photos with you so you can sorta see what its like!!


these pictures are from church this morning (28th Feb 2010), some mite not be so clear because of the lighting in the room




so thats me posing in front of one of the hillsong buses :) these are courtesy buses that pick people up from different suburbs and takes them to church and back for FREE....gotta love that :)





More of the bus :)






a very small section of the front of the building....Picture really doesnt do it justice!
on the top it says-Jesus, hope for humanity!






This is the back half of the church-roughly....in the shadows at the top is more rows of seats but its too dark to see.....basically at the left of the screen is where the stage would be, then stacks of chairs in the middle...then this is where this pic picks up the rest of the room :)





front section, including stage...i was waaaaaaaaay up the back :)


It was so cute, this morning we had baby dedications, where we pray for lil bubs...so we had a line of parents with their little ones and the whole church prayed for them...i got real clucky :) hahaha


and last one........


last pic of the church.......think you got the idea


so yeah, there are just a few pics of my church so that my family and friends can now picture where i am when i go to church every sunday :)





Now, something different.........last nite I went out to dinner in an Italian area near the city, the area is called Leichardt. It is a beautiful area full of cafe's and restuarants, a lot of them are obviously Italian style but there are the random restuarants like Japanese, Asian etc....

anyways last night Emmanuel and I went out with an Italian friend (Alessandro) for dinner and coffee....my camera was playing up a bit with the flash and because it was dark, pictures of buildings etc just wouldnt come out......but here is a few

Alessandro and me :)





Emmanuel and me





The restaurant we ate at!!





My gorgeous hubby Emmanuel




area called THE FORUM....its where the restaurants are....well a couple, plus there are apartments above with cute little balcony's...would be such a nice place to live, like a little Italy :)




After dinner



this was the bar in the restaurant....i thought it looked pretty :) well as pretty as a bar can be!!

YAY FOR MAKEUP :)




MAKEUP

Im a makeup artist, so yes makeup would be one of my loves!!! I love colour and love all the amazing things you can create using makeup!!

I dont beleive in being dependant on it though, ie-where you wont even go to the clothesline without foundation and mascara on in fear one of your neighbours will see the real you :)


It should Never be like that!! Im a real woman with real flaws and i understand the power makeup can give you, it is like an instant confidence booster.....but.....



MAKEUP IS FASHION.....DONT LET IT DETERMINE YOUR BEAUTY



Show off what you love, and hide what you dont!!! dont hide your entire face!!!!


Anyways enough preaching :)


in the following pictures I am showing you my version of a 'Ruby Rose' makeup photo.....



She is a real Australian stunner, and i love the looks she wears, she has a tough chick image, but still brings the feminine side.....and her skin looks amazing.....you can tell this woman drinks water :)



here she is...
probably not the clearest of pictures, cause i took the photo off a magazine page....in the actual picture her lips are way more pink.....like a bright pink!!


So here is my version....you cant see my eyes so well because of the flash etc, plus i have real deep set eyes!!! and NO im not saying i look anything like her....just having some fun!!




but here I am in my version of Ruby Rose!!





Enjoy :)













So there you go....bit of 'RUBY' fun for the day
Love Hollie
