A new type of "wine cooler"

Published on December 9, 2017 by CharLeave a comment

It’s always fun to get these packages in the mail! Here’s the beautiful package I received recently as a milestone reward as I work to earn a trip to Jamaica! (I can actually see that trip from here.)
It’s always nice to feel appreciated, isn’t it. This is an insulated cooler that is just the perfect size to hold a bottle of Pinot Grigio. I guess you could call it a “wine cooler,” but we all think of something else when we hear that?
Wine bottle rewards
I’m always looking for women who want to become my business partners with Ruby Ribbon. It’s a mix of fun, flexibility and of course, some work, but you’re always building your own business, your way!

Jewelry just lands on my doorstep….

Published on October 11, 2017 by CharLeave a comment

20171007_195548000_iOS I’ve shared with you before how much I love the support and encouragement I get from my Ruby Ribbon leaders, and I experienced it again this week when some beautiful silver jewelry arrived in the mail.
It was in recognition of my Ruby Ribbon team of business partners reaching a milestone and it was such fun to share this milestone with them.
I look forward to earning more charms to sit on that charm bracelet over the next few months.

Hmm, so what did the stylist get for herself?

I placed my own first order for Fall 2017 items, and thought I would share what I got and why?

Suedette Leggings in Spruce — I got the Spruce color to wear for NDSU Bison football games this fall
Fast Track Leggings — fun to have leggings in a deep blue and the black stripe will be flattering
On Waist Thigh Slimmer – I already have one of these, but I wear skirts so much that having a second one is a must!
Lace Up Tunic – A great option for a more casual look
Flare Leg Ponte Pants in Sapphire — my black pair of these pants are a wardrobe staple, and I look forward to expanding into a second color
Nothing but Net Tunic — I tried this on at Runway and fell in love! Unique, sporty, fun – what’s not to love?
Ponte Jacket — “The” jacket for Fall, and of course, I needed one!

I want it ALL!.png
Of course, all the items I got were either free or half price because even stylists can be a hostess! (You can too!) And, of course, I want it all! LOL

It's a great perk of the job

Published on June 13, 2017 by CharLeave a comment

So, one of my personal favorite perks of my Ruby Ribbon part-time gig is shopping my samples occasionally. Yay!
Today, I wanted to change things up so I brought in the Ruby Ribbon Pleated Mesh Dress to wear to my day job. What a fun way to switch up your wardrobe at no cost. And honestly, I ‘ll maybe wear it a few more times this season, but mainly it will be a sample and I’ll sell it at one of my popular samples sales. (Can you say great discounts to my Ruby Ribbon VIPs!)
It’s not every job that gives you something new to wear whenever you have that whim!
I paired this dress with silver jewelry and a cute pair of casual black sandals. And of course, I wore a black Ruby Ribbon Lace Classic Cami under it (totally brafree). Warm day, but looking and feeling oh so breezy and cool.
Looking for a part-time job where you also can get new clothes any time you feel like it? I can show you how to add to your wallet with a fun fashion business starting for only $299.

As an owner of a gym, you already realize that the satisfaction you get from empowering women and helping them feel great is a real uplift to you personally. You can get double that feeling by adding Ruby Ribbon to the offering at your gym or fitness center.

If you’re wondering why I do what I do, here are just a few of my reasons:

It’s about watching a woman’s face light up when she tries on something she didn’t think was right for her and finds it’s oh so right!
I love having the latest fashions at my fingertips – so many clothes (and for free)
I’m building a base for a business I can continue later when I retire from the software industry

Taking "style" to all levels

Hairstylists all over the US are adding Ruby Ribbon products to their salon offerings. It’s a natural fit to extend your style business to other aspects of her life.

A business that is both fun and flexible

Published on April 4, 2017 by CharLeave a comment

I love that my Ruby Ribbon business is so flexible but also a lot of fun. I love meeting new women, and seeing their faces light up when they find just the right new outfit that they didn’t think would look great on them. Or, when they see how supported they can be and NEVER wear a bra (oh, those underwires) again.
With only 1800 stylists in the entire US, and very few in the Midwest, now is a great time to look into putting extra money in your purse while sharing a designer clothing line with women in your area. Earn up to 40% commission, and get free clothes each season too.
Plus, we are adding shaping swimwear to our line in April — this will be a Must Have for so many women!
If you might be interested, I have a video I would love to share with you to give you more information. I promise no pressure.
