Hi loves! A while ago, I talked about revitalizing the R lifestyle co. and I'm happy to announce that I've started the process.

As many of you know, I've always wanted the R lifestyle co. to focus on giving back to women charities and to use its channels to tell inspiring & empowering stories. I usually refer to the R lifestyle co. as a "passion project" rather than a "business" because it was never just about selling. My passion for the cause will always remain. To all of you who share the same passion for this cause, I appreciate YOU. Thank YOU for the support, the love, and all that you do to amplify the message.

For the past few years, I've been growing my private marketing consulting business (to be revealed soon!) with clients spanning from Canada and the US. Now, it has grown to the point where I can have a philantrophy 'wing' or 'project', and that's what the R lifestyle co. will transition to!

❤️ Organizing charity drives & fundraisers for women-centred charities in Saskatchewan

❤️ Creating scholarships for underprivileged students

❤️ Providing highly-affordable marketing services (fundraising/campaign content & event coordination) to women-centred non-profits/charities

❤️ Featuring and highlighting women-centred charities to increase awareness of all the ways we can help

While I know some of you have been asking about re-stocking R lifestyle products, I, unfortunately, won't have time or capacity to sustain crafting them as a new shift in my focus. However, I sincerely want to thank everyone who had been loyal users of my products and for supporting! (You all know who you are). I'll see what I can do for little one-offs, but no promises 😉

I'm excited to make this transition and continue my philanthropic journey on a grander level. Thank you everyone, and stay tuned for new & exciting ways to get involved with the R lifestyle co!

The beauty industry has been a subject of controversy for a long time, particularly with society judging women who choose to undergo beauty treatments.

There’s this expectation that women should look a certain way and even a standard for “natural.” When women try to reach these “standards,” there comes the criticism of trying to be someone you’re not.

There’s no ‘winning,’ in societal standards of beauty, so honestly, do what makes you feel like your best self! ✨

I had the opportunity to interview Christie Daguio, the owner of Saskatchewan Laser Hair Skin Care Centre, and she shared her inspiring journey of starting her business and empowering women.

From laser hair removal to skin rejuvenation and acne treatment, they cater to people of all skin types. Check out their services and support a business that want YOU to feel your best!

Tis the season of chaos, shopping galore, vacations, or perhaps community-giving, volunteering, and many other contributions to charitable causes. BUT... if you’re one who loves to shop and gift-giving is your love language, we guarantee that you’ll find a gem at Belong Lifestyle in Saskatoon! ❤👜

Dear : It’s that time of the year again. I’m not here to say that it’s not right to enjoy this wonderful season, but I think that it can be even better when give back 🤍 If you have the means, please consider donating and help change lives, one step at a time.

For the second year, the R lifestyle co. is collecting items for Crystal’s Gift (by Saskatoon Real Estate - Tanya LaRose), one of the charities in Saskatoon that focuses on supporting women and children fleeing from domestic violence. We are looking for donations of new or gently used household goods, small furniture & appliances such as:

- Utensils
- Pans
- Towels
- Toaster
- Small Chairs
- Small Tables
- Other

Pick-ups will be on Sunday, December 16th.

Let's come together as a community and help improve the quality of life of our fellow women & children and help them get back on their feet. We need to be there for each other in times of need, and that is now.

𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐄: Please send me a message if you OR your office/company would like to donate, and we will coordinate a time to pick them up! 🤍

Sincerely,
Ryssa
