Little Crazy

Finally I am getting a chance to write this!! meant to do it end of October but things just got a little crazy!


So so much has been going on and I've even had a birthday since my last post. So i wanted to fill you in as some exciting things are happening. October was a great month, filled with all the things I love. Makeup doing, birthdays, catch ups and concerts. Soul Factor was back doing their concerts and we had an absolute ball! Full crowds, great music, costumes and fun. Its been a few years since we did a Broadway Concert and it was such a pleasure to get back to it and the audiences loved it too.


Later in the month I sang at the Hills Choral Society Concert. It was a songs of Stage & Screen concert so it was lovely to sing some favourites. My solos were I Dreamed a Dream, When She Loved Me, Colours of the Wind and Buenos Aires and then I joined the choir for the Phantom of the Opera Medley. It was a lovely afternoon of music.



The 29th was my birthday and I had a lovely day celebrating with family and friends and then finishing the day singing at Broadway Sessions with some of my besties which was great fun! So now I am a year older and am excited for what is coming in this year! I believe its going to be my best yet!

I finished October off madly doing Mary Kay. DIQ is still happening and I so want to be a Director. I love sharing this business and the products, and building an amazing team of wonderful people that inspire me.
November is my 3rd month of DIQ and so its still full steam ahead. On Nov 8th my personal Mary Kay website went live and for that I am so excited. Connect with me, order from me and more all through the website www.marykay.com.au/rebeccaraymond . I'd love to connect with you so go check it out and if I can help you with anything please let me know.

November is shaping up to be a real mix of music and Mary Kay. I have a few new gigs this month which should be a lot of fun and I am excited to do plus i have weddings and Christmas Mary Kay makeup events and I am booking in lots of things for next year!!
So far I have 7 shows booked in for next year already 😅 I am excited because there is so much new and fantastic music plus the chance to create roles not done here before and to revisit roles I love. And aside from musicals the chance to share some wonderful music through other events. I am so happy and grateful that I get to follow my passion both for music and for makeup. I feel very blessed and I look forward to sharing all these with you.

But before we get to next year, this year has to end and Christmas is coming. Soul Factor's Christmas Concert is coming up and along with some wonderful Christmas music the second half of the concert will be a stand up musical called Searching for a King. You will be uplifted, moved and entertained but most of all you will begin your Christmas Season well. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.soulfactorgospelchoir.com/ and I would love to see you there!



Well I wish you well until my next post! Have a fabulous week!

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...
