My New NBR Hair Extensions

1/26/2019

As many of you might remember, last year, my health was suffering, and due to being constantly over heated and sweating, I cut all my hair off. I LOVED my short hair (with an undercut) but my long hair has always been somewhat of a security blanket to me, so I missed it! When Kelsey Jahnke of Salon Muse in Nanaimo approached me to be a model for her NBR hair extensions, I jumped on the opportunity! I had had extensions before for my wedding 2 years ago, but they were tape in's, and as much as I loved them, they were a disaster to take out, as the glue had melted into my hair! But Kelsey told me about her way of doing extensions (she is the only stylist in BC who is currently doing this specific technique) and since there is no glue involved at all, that wouldn't happen again! Kelsey put 2 rows into my hair (and was able to do it while still keeping my undercut! I was in and out of her stunning salon in under 4 hours, and I can barely feel my extensions! They just feel like my normal hair, and the best part is they are totally undetectable! When I had my tape in extensions I was always afraid of my tapes peeking out, but I never have to worry about that with my NBR extensions!

Why Natural Beaded Rows™ Hair Extensions?Natural Beaded Rows™ Hair Extensions is the perfect solution for both the stylist and the client.

You Are In and Out of The Salon in Less Than 3 Hours!
In less than 3 hours (if you have worn extensions before you know how great this sounds), clients are in and out of the salon leaving transformed and feeling more beautiful then when they arrived.
There’s No Glue or Tape Involved!

To sum up, I am TOTALLY OBSESSED with my new long hair. Kelsey was SO sweet and made my time in her chair so much fun. I cant wait to go back in a couple months to get them moved up!
If you're interested in trying your own NBR Extensions I HIGHLY recommend giving her a call to schedule your own appointment!

Holiday Corset Fun with True Corset

12/20/2018

Once upon a time, in a cold and darkened land, there were no corsets. “How will we achieve the perfect shape for our new outfit, or the hot celebrity look, or the special evening with our partner?” the women cried. Then True Corset rode into town (on a horse wearing a horsey corset, obviously) and the women of the world exclaimed “Hurrah! Now whether we require a great look for going out, a photo shoot, or a goth, burlesque, pinup, steampunk, cosplay, or vintage look, we know where to go for exquisite designs, expert advice, and amazing prices!”
At True Corset, they like stories, and are dedicated to making sure you feel like you have the starring role. They were instrumental in the corset revival and have been at the forefront of corset trends and tailoring for years, inspiring much of the work in the corset industry. True Corset is famed for making original designs and producing high quality pieces that you see across mainstream and alternative fashion scenes. Here are some of my favourites and how I styled them for the Holidays!

PLUS SIZE JUSTINE STEEL BONED CORSET WITH HALTER STRAPS, and BLACK VICTORIAN BUSTLE SKIRT

True Corsts, exclusive Justine Steel Boned Corset with Halter Straps features a unique floral lace overlay on the front panels and satin halter straps to frame your cleavage. This authentic steel boned corset was designed with the best construction and attention to detail. I was so pleasantly surprised with the fabulous quality of this corset and its structure. It provides a gorgeous shape and elegant posture, while still being comfortable enough to wear long into the evening. Whether you're wearing this corset for a night on the town or for a sexy SteamPunk costume, or an elegant evening at home, I just know you'll love it! It paired PERFECTLY with the Victorian Bustle Skirt, which has a tiered ruffle design and side zip closure. Two adjustable ties are placed beneath the layers allow to you adjust the amount of bustle and drape. The material is thick and warm, perfect for wearing out for an evening walk in the snow, or for a glamorous holiday party. Use the ties to gather it high for extra “bustle” or leave it untied for a flowing, smooth look, live I did here to visit my new horsey friend!!

KINNAIRD DUCHESS SATIN LILAH STEEL BONED CORSET WITH DETACHABLE REMOVABLE PANEL

SHOP THIS CORSET

As soon as I saw this wonderfully crafted corset, I knew I wanted to do a Toy Soldier inspired look. This corset takes cues from the steampunk genre with ornate engravings on the antique style brass buttons, that have been used at the front. As well as on the lush chocolate brown contrast binding that that is on the top and bottom of the corset and the front panel. The front panel can be removed to reveal a stunning black busk front closure, which creates a totally unique look.
The custom made black duchess satin is the final part, giving a soft matte sheen, which really works with all the other detailing. This corset has then been triple bonded to a high thread count 100% cotton twill. Triple bonding increases the strength of the corset, while making sure that the cotton close to the skin is as soft as possible. Put all of this together and you have a corset which gives the wearer an hour glass figure while being lighter, more comfortable and much stronger. The quality of these pieces really speak for themselves, and, the best part, none of them are priced over $100, as everything is ON SALE!

RAW - Beyond The Session - with Artist Jessica Rae

10/5/2018

I love doing shoots that use no photoshop or editing. Dont get me wrong, I am not "anti photoshop"...I don't mind it being used as an artistic expression, or to remove a blemish or bruise, or to smooth my hair...but the moment I don't look like me anymore, is when I have a problem. I was discussing this with my dear friend Artist Jessica Rae, and she showed me her series of RAW images, in her collection "Beyond the Session" in which her subject are captured in black and white, raw, with zero editing at all. I loved this idea, and immediately we booked a shoot.

I showed up at Jessica's studio first thing in the morning, with zero makeup on, my hair simply brushed out after getting out of bed, I stripped my clothes off and we got to shooting! What we captured are so beyond what I had hoped for, and I am so thrilled to share them with you all!

I think doing and sharing shoots like this is so important, and I really encourage you to do it yourself! So many people suffer with self esteem and mental health struggles, especially when all you see on social media are photo-shopped images, with heavy filtering and perfect captions. It's easy to think that everyone else is perfect and have perfect lives, but in reality, people are only ever posting their successes...they don't post the selfies they hate, or the bad days, or failures. I understand why, of course...(I don't post my failures either), but I always try to promote honesty, which is what I wanted to do with this set of photos. I wanted to show that even though my skin is so pale you can see my veins, and I have bags under my eyes first thing in the morning, and my stomach folds when I sit down (like EVERYONE) I am still worthy, and strong, and feminine and beautiful

Next time you're on Social Media, I challenge you to look at it differently. Ask yourself to think critically about the content you are taking in. If following a specific person always leads you to feel depressed or "less than" when you see their feed, unfollow that person! And when you yourself are posting on social media, think of those that follow you! What is the message you are spreading to the world? Are you being honest, and your most authentic self? You, yourself are unique, magical, and beautiful, and the world needs more of that! It is ok to have acne, or big arms, or scars, or cellulite, or rolls. Its ok to love yourself, JUST the way you are. And its also ok if you're not quite there yet....but as long as you are trying, you are winning.

Ruby VS The Troll

9/7/2018

Dear Troll,

I'm throwing in the towel.

I've spent the last few weeks trying to lure you into meeting me but no nibbles. Instead, though, I've learned a lot about you from some wonderful people and what I've learned is simple.

Sure you may operate in a virtual world with few if any immediate consequences but, my dear troll, the tide is turning and I'm optimistic the millions of good and decent people online will soon eclipse you and the hate you spread.

I've also learned that while being mean online may simply give you pleasure, its also likely that you're struggling with your own issues or trauma and if that's the case, I'm sorry for you, really I am.

However, my dear troll, I'm not going to spend my time and energy trying to shine a light on you anymore.

Instead I'm going to take that energy and use it in a much, more positive way.

I'm going to focus on sharing what I've learned about you with some pretty awesome people, and teach them how to safeguard themselves against you.

(I'm going to focus on sharing what I've learned about you the best way I know how and teach people how to safeguard themselves against you.)

So, my dear troll, that's me signing off.

Yours in positivity,

Ruby
