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.

A Dream is a wish your heart makes....

A dream is a wish you heart makes... Do you have a dream? something that you want your life to be? or somewhere you want to go? Are you reaching for it? I have had a dream to be a Mary Kay Director since I joined the company 10 years ago and this month I took a huge step to achieving this. On October 1st I entered into DIQ or Director in Qualification, I now have 4 months to become a Director. I am very excited about this, the timing seemed right and when I do it I will be able to do just Mary Kay and Singing which will be perfect! It is rather scary though because there is a lot of work to be done in those four months, I have to build my team and reach certain production goals and sometimes it seems crazy, but that's the idea of moving up isn't it? taking a leap of faith? So why Directorship you ask? I understand leadership is not for everyone but I have always been drawn to it. I do have a passion for helping women feel good about themselves and I believe that we are...

MMMBop and road trip classics 😉

Road trip singalongs are the best! Do you agree?  What are your favourite songs to sing? Do you have specific lists or eras or styles of music you listen/sing to?  For me it usually depends who I am travelling with but nothing beats a good 80s/90s song list.... So last weekend I was on a road trip to Halls Gap with my sister, my brother in law and my niece and nephew. We had a fabulous time singing away the hours to many a favourite. Of course the kids occasionally asked for a song they knew but we thought it was important we listened to the classics haha 😜 We headed to Halls Gap for NanaFest 2019! A weekend to celebrate the 90th Birthday of my Nana Dawn. Staying in cabins and tents the family came from Victoria and SA and shared a weekend of catching up, a party, jumping pillows and bonfires. I do love my family, there is a a lot of us and it is lovely to see the all the generations interacting and enjoying each others company. We had wonderful weather and m...

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day...."

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day......" Well actually its been a beautiful week! I did have the absolute privilege to play Laurey in Oklahoma! presented live on Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton SA. It was such a beautiful setting to be in everyday, trees, fresh air, animals in the paddocks around and one rather show stealing peacock!! The cast was fabulous, the orchestra amazing and the sound superb (Tim Freedman, Allpro Audio  love your work!!). At the risk of sounding cheesy it was a magical experience. From the moment that Curly rides along the ridge on his horse (an actual horse!) singing "Oh what a Beautiful Morning" people were captivated. It was such a labour of love for all of us, and to see the joy in people's faces was so wonderful. This production was the idea of Emma Knights from Emma Knights Productions and along with some other wonderful people who captured the vision of it all as well, it actua...
