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!

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!...

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...

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...
