BabyLove

It’s been a few weeks since my last update. It’s because the long awaited baby Oliver finally arrived on July 16th at 7:02 a.m.

He’s a healthy 8 lb. baby measuring 20.5 inches long with a full head of hair and long eye lashes. 

These days, the RubyLove business is put on hold so I can focus on taking care of Oliver. He has been great, only cries a little to let me know when he is hungry or need his diaper changed. I feel overwhelmed with joy to have him, who bringing so much happiness and positive feelings. He has and will continue to bring inspirations, strength, and love to my life.

Barefoot at the beach for a cause!

Our RubyLove Girl of the month Megan is on a mission!

It’s been in the works for months, but it’s finally becoming a reality. On July 19th from 10:00 to 12 noon at the Boat Pavillion at Lake Forest Beach, Illinois, Megan is hosting a RubyLove fashion show to benefit “A Safe Place of Lake County“-a domestic violence shelter.

Megan came up with the idea a few months ago when she saw RubyLove in Seventeen magazine. She was in the middle of working on getting her girl scout gold award. And when she contacted me, I was very eager to help out.

The show will feature the entire RubyLove Reflection-Tees collection and promote the positive messages behind them. After the fashion show, everyone in the audience has the chance to make their own inspirational t-shirt. And they can also purchase RubyLove Reflection-Tees, which 30% of the proceeds will also be donated.

If you live near the Lake Forest area, I hope you’ll join Megan and have a fun afternoon at the beach for a good cause.

My Baby Shower!

Time has gone by so fast, I’m now less than 2 months from meeting my baby boy. And to celebrate his arrival, our backyard was transformed into the perfect location to host a baby shower on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

*********************

We served fresh summer fruits and hand decorate cupcakes for the big day.

*********************

Upon arrival, the guests were asked to sign in on name tags that read “HELLO, I’M UNCLE…” and “HELLO, I’M AUNTIE…” And before they left the party, each of them receive a little blue tea light candle that we asked them to light when the baby is born, and to say a little birthday wish for him.

*********************

Meet the happy parents!

I’m really looking forward to introducing you to RubyLove’s new addition very soon!
And who knows, maybe I’ll be inspired to design a baby line too!

RubyLove in Green

Our latest press comes from a great website called the Green Girl Guide that showcases companies that regularly make conscious choices socially and environmentally. The Green Girls scour the globe for the hottest earth friendly places and things in Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle and call them out on GreenGirlGuide.com.

Rubylove’s “Love Life” Organic Reflection-Tees was mentioned in a story featuring Organic Cotton Message Tees. Read on:

GREEN GIRL LOVES: Organic Cotton Message Tees

April 13 2008
Studded or slashed, hip-length or cropped, with sleeves that range from dolman to deconstructed, t-shirts are ubiquitous. And though the bitchy message tee seems to have gone the way of that mesh number you rocked before you were old enough to know better, there are a few words of wisdom inked on organic cotton that we Green Girls are proud to wear. First up? The “vote” shirt from be present, a Colorado-based yoga clothing company that cleverly integrates the symbol for the wisdom-inspiring crown chakra into the “o.” (Because if you don’t get wise and vote, we don’t have a chance in hell. Inference is ours, not theirs.) And then there are the positive vibes we get from wearing “choose happiness” from Tees For Change, which donates to the American Forests’ Global ReLeaf, or “love life” from RubyLove Reflection-Tees, which prints their block letters backwards so you’re reminded of the affirmation every time you pass a mirror. And, not to get all gushy on you or anything, but the hearts-from-a-smokestack image from RE:VOLVE gives us hope for the future—without any words at all.

But the mother of all t-shirt innovation award has to be handed to Loomstate, which partners with Barneys New York this spring to launch the first-ever national t-shirt recycling program. Starting April 13th you can drop off your old tee at any Barneys location nationwide and get 20% off any Loomstate duds sold in the store. Loomstate will then “re-fashion” the tees to create a new, limited edition t-shirt collection that bows at Barneys for Holiday 2008 and donates to One Percent for the Planet.

Messaging aside, it’s a good thing to think about organic or recycled cotton when looking for a new shirt this season, considering it takes two-thirds of a pound of pesticide to manufacture a regular cotton t-shirt. And now that organic versions feature just as many bells, whistles and sassy sayings as their conventional cousins, well, why the hell not?

Welcoming Spring

Dear RubyLove Friends:

Spring is here! other than a bad case of allergies, I am really enjoying the warm morning light and flowers in the garden.

It’s been a great 2008 so far for RubyLove with lots of new projects in the works. I’m very happy to share with you all that I’m now 23-weeks pregnant and feeling great! I learned from my prenatal yoga class that the baby feels 80% of what I’m feeling, so it’s more important than ever to be happy and take good care of myself.

With being so busy with getting ready to welcome the new baby, I’ve switched my focus for RubyLove to be more on working with organizations that shares similar beliefs. And reach out to specific groups of people who can benefit from the Reflection-Tees.

I’ve also been spreading the word about RubyLove by expanding my press to blogs and links to other sites. I’m hoping to introduce the Reflection-Tees to more people and continue to make new friends along the way.

Hear That? It’s Your T-Shirt. And It’s Talking To You!

Ever have one of those days? Like when everything seems so blah, your mood totally sux, and so does your hair?!? Yeah, who doesn’t?

Here’s my idea for a fix: these awesome tees from a very cool place called RubyLove. They offer tees that can turn even your ickiest self-loathing days into reasons to smile. Happiness in a t-shirt, you ask? Darn skippy!

Worn by everyone’s favorite Betty, America Ferrera, RubyLove tees sport self-confirmation messages on them in a backwards manner so that every time you look in the mirror, you can read the message loud and clear. Sayings like “Listen to Your *Heart*”, “Smile Big”, and “Breathe” are just a few.

These are so much fun, are totally well-priced and make a great gift for any occasion (that includes as a gift to yourself for any reason at all!)

Check out the RubyLove site for more information or to order – there’s a great tee there for everyone!

Sweets good for your heart

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. And I’ve got the perfect little bite of heaven that not only you’ll fall in love with, you’ll also be doing your heart some good!

Ococoa is started by a young entrpreneur, Diana Malouf, with a passion for chocolate, imagination, and self expression. She uses only fresh, hand-picked ingredients and flavorful combinations and textures to make her line of butter cups, barks, and chocolate covered fruits.

Throughout her years of making and sharing her chocolate creations, she has learned that if chocolate is a guilty pleasure, then it should be worth the guilt and provide the pleasure.

I love her unique line of butter cups, with flavors such as Sunflower Honey Butter, Sesame Fig, and Almond Cherry…mmm! They taste as good as they sound. And you also get health benefits from the variety of nuts which research has shown to help lower the risk of heart disease, a great source of protein, and rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin E.

Visit ococoa.com for these delectable creations. Diana has offered a 10% off discount for RubyLove customers in the month of February. You’ll receive an email with the coupon code and instructions when you make any purchase from myrubylove.com this month.

Enjoy!
