All things of August!!

What a month August has been! I have been meaning to write this blog post many times throughout the month but have either been too busy or new things have happened!

So this month started off rather crazily, last month you may remember that I did 100 makeovers and a concert, I felt like I was running haha!! But the 3rd of August was the Mary Kay Colour and Awards night and what a great night that was! I did win a lot of awards I really felt very blessed but it was a good night.

The next morning, I headed to Melbourne on a 6am flight!! I was singing at Salvos Cake for a Cause for the Melbourne Central Division at 10:30am. It was raising money for the Women's Ministries Fundraising Project which is now raising money for Nepal. To fund  Sisters Cafe and Beauty where they train women in a choice of Waitress, Chef or Beautician. It is a wonderful program and what was lovely is that it really connects with me as I am a Beauty Consultant so I was able to share that as well. I have really missed being able to sing and share with people in that intimate way. I was able to share stories and sing songs that I love but also that tell a story.
Some of the songs I sang were Too Darn Hot, I see the Light, He is with You, Your Grace. The people who were there seemed to really enjoyed it and I had a lovely morning.

I was then able to spend another 2 days with Lauren, Aaron and Bella which was just lovely. I do really miss my sister and so to grab a little time with her was awesome but little did Lauren know (and we all kept a very good secret....) that Olivia and I were going to drive back and surprise her on the sunday just after. It was a brilliant surprise and we were able to spend a lovely four days with their little family. Bella was very excited to have both her aunties staying at her house and spending time with her.

Coming back it was a bit hard to get back into work but my Mary Kay has been going really well and I have loved meeting so many new people and to have welcomed Four new wonderful ladies to Mary Kay and to my team. It really is such a wonderful opportunity for women and for all different women, you don't have to be like me or the next lady. It is a business for any woman who wants to care for their skin and to share that with others plus make money and CHOOSE when you work! So its been an exciting month and I love reaching my goals!!

To add to all this I then caught the flu, which I have to say I haven't been that sick for a while and I lost my voice!! I was not allowed to talk for a bit which if you know me would realise that that was rather difficult LOL!! But after 4 days in bed I was alot better so now I can get back into life!!

So what's coming? Well this week I am leading worship at church with a small group of women singers and we are doing things a little different. It really sounds great and I wm looking forward to sharing it with everyone.
Soul Factor has another concert on September 27th, a beautiful Cantata on the Lord's Prayer called "Our Father". So we are in rehearsals for that and I encourage you to come along if you are free. It will be a beautiful afternoon of music. For more info head here

Phew!! I think I've tried a bit of everything this month haha!! So I hope you are well and that your August has been amazing :)

Here's to Spring and September.

Happy Birthday Songs!

So I'm now 31! I can not believe a year has already passed since my 30th and all that was going on at that time. There I was last year thinking "Oh my goodness, I'm in a new age range I've hit 30" and that year has already past. Well, I can say that being in your 30's is not bad actually and if anything I am happy I'm here, yes minus a few things I thought I would have gained in that 30th year but I am happy, healthy and surrounded by those who love me so I am extremely grateful. This years birthday was a lot less flashy than last years (thank goodness because that was a lot of work haha!) but lovely all the same. It began actually on Saturday, my sister Liv had organised a breakfast and surprised me by inviting some of girlfriends to join us. The cafĂ© we went to was Harvest in Mylor, South Australia. It was really adorable and encourage you to check it out some time. We sat outside in gorgeous weather, under the tress and enjoyed each others company and...

"Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain"

I can't believe I am sitting here already a week after the opening of Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm and we have finished another fabulous season and I've already jumped into rehearsals for the next couple of things. But I wanted to take a moment to again talk about this show and to say how grateful I am to be able to perform like this. This season of Oklahoma was HOT!! in many ways but also "literally" haha!! The temperatures of the weekend were in the high 30's and Saturday was so humid, but the amazing cast, crew and orchestra pushed through it and the performances was fabulous. And thats not just me saying that but the audiences who came were again raving at how good it was and what I find wonderful is they all sat through it, in the heat themselves but did not complain. There is something about being on the farm, if you have never been to Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton I encourage you to (even better if it's for a show I'm doing...

Turkish and Other Delights! Part Two...

And so the story of the trip continues here Part One can be found here ! So we arrived in Istanbul on Tuesday 21st April 2015 and as I said in the previous post we were struck by how many people there were and how crazy the driving was but luckily we were picked up by our tour company, Travelshop Turkey. We did make it to our hotel, The Green Park Hotel, safely and this hotel seemed quite nice. We did find it weird we didnt know anything about our start time in the morning or anything else from our tour but the guy at the desk did say that they were rather unorganised and not to worry, he'd let us know. Dancers on the boat Our first experience began that night began with a Bosphorus River and Dinner Cruise (to be honest we didn't quite know what to expect), people had said that it was great to cruise on the Bosphorus and see Istanbul from the water. Well we got picked up along with some others we didn't know and headed to our boat. Well this night was an experience!...
