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...

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!...

2018 Celebration!!

2018 has really been an amazing year.  When I look back on what I've actually done this year it is actually quite crazy but I've enjoyed every minute of it.  There have been times of difficulty and real stress when things didn't go to plan but God has blessed me so abundantly and really allowed me to use my gifts to share with people and to create a life that is really full of joy. So at the beginning of this year, I actually said I was gonna have a quieter year and that turned out to not be true in the slightest. But it has been amazing!  So this year, I have done Oklahoma on a Farm twice, played Princess Fiona in an SA Premiere of Shrek (plus learned to tap dance), done a Bee Gee's Tribute with my sisters, climbed aboard a Pirate Ship many times, been a Siamese Twin in SideShow the Musical, been an Ice & Fire Queen, learnt and performed many Elvis songs, sang on a Cruise Ship,  sang on the radio 4 times, perfomed in concerts, gigs, dinne...
