At the End of August

Can you believe that it is the end of another month??

I feel like sometimes I fall asleep and wake up a week later missing days in between 😂
What about you? But I admit I have been doing lots of interesting things and really enjoying myself which is important and it will soon be SPRING!!

So August for me started in Melbourne looking after my Niece and Nephew for a few days. It was a really lovely time with them, we learnt lots about each other and had lots of fun, at the end as I was not used to living with a 1 and 4 year old I was exhausted but so happy I was able to do it. There is a lot to be said for having your own business! On the final Saturday in Melbourne, my sister Lauren and I were able to have lunch and go see Aladdin. What a glittering spectacle that was and such a pleasure to see such a favourite film of mine come to life on stage.

After that week the dreaded lurgy that everyone seems to have caught this winter got me. And really it has taken the rest of the month to get better but other than a couple of days it has not really stopped me 😊 Lots of Mary Kay Classes, Theatre Makeup Classes, new singing students, a day on a film, rehearsals and auditions have kept me busy.

I am excited to have been offered the role of Princess Fiona in Shrek the Musical which is coming in January next year. This should be a great fun role and a chance to do a more comedic role which I have wanted to do for a while. So keep your eyes open for that!

Last week Olivia and I were the backing vocals for Jack Gatto and his Elvis show. It was such a great night of music and a lot of fun. So many songs but we are enjoying really extending our repertoire and even just going with some songs we didn't know 😅 Jack has a fantastic voice and is a great performer and the band (whom we know) they are fabulous. Add to that excited fans and you have a great night.



I really feel that so much is happening at the moment and I am so grateful to God for his provision and for the opportunities he is bringing to me. I am excited for what could be and look forward everyday to Him using me in a different way.

In September, I go into Qualification for Directorship with Mary Kay and am so looking forward to completing that and stepping up in the company. It has blessed me so much and so many other women. I want to help women be the best they can be and this is a beautiful way to do it!

At the end of September, Soul Factor is back with a Broadway Show!!! Its been a couple of years since we have done that and of course almost a year since we performed since we had a break. So get your tickets!! It is going to a fabulous night with a focus on songs by Cole Porter. So grab your friends, family, kids and come along. There are two shows on Saturday 30 September and October 1st. Click here for more info.


So have an amazing week and see you in 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...
