Coachella + Sta Body 

April 18, 2016 By Ruthie Ridley 51 Comments

I’ve never been to coachella, nor am I going this year, but I am totally swooning over all the fabulous festival inspired fashion Ive been seeing all over IG and in the stores! A few weeks back I saw this oversized kimono with the embroidery and the tassels at H&M in the coachella section. I didn’t think twice! I scooped it right up! I was looking for something to wear on stage for Easter Sunday. It was perfect! I feel like this piece would be perfect at coachella. Especially in the evenings when it starts to cool down! Are any of you going to the festival this year?! Have you been before?! Please do tell me in the comments below!! 

Sta Body 

Today I wanted to share about this pretty cool bodysuit I am wearing below with my coachella inspired kimono. It is two pieces sewn together (combination of a tank top and thong) and helps ensure tummy security and smoothness(Lord knows I need all the help I can get after 3 kids and 2 C-sections)!! I ordered true to size (Medium) but would recommend sizing down if you really want to keep things extra secure! This piece is perfect for layering, it can be dressed up or dressed down.  It was created by Stefanie out of the comfort of her home! She made this out of the dissatisfaction of similar garments on the market. Here’s what she said: “Regular tank tops rolled up and annoyingly untucked and didn’t provide immovable coverage. Traditional bodysuits rode up and were less than comfy.  Regardless of our shape, we all want to feel great in our clothes. My mission is to help all of us love our shape as it is, but to create a garment that also adds confidence to your wardrobe. Feel good, be completely comfortable and look fantastic!”  I love Stefanie’s heart and motivation behind this little invention! Us girls want to look good and feel good in our clothes! I love my little Sta Body Suit.  It is simliar to the idea of Spanx, except I can breathe all day! LOL! Grab yours  here! 

What are you thoughts on body suits, tanks, Spanx and the sorts?! Please do share! Happy Monday all! Thanks as always for stopping by the blog!!

    This is seriously such a necessity and I’m glad to hear you can actually breathe in it, unlike Spanx hahah! You look great, my dear. I’m interested in the bodysuit — hope they ship to Canada.

    Ruthie!!!! You are simply one gorgeous babe! I LOVE the boho vibe on you – you are right – this would be a perfect festival piece!! You have really styled this look perfectly!! Boho chic, relatable, stylish, and fun! And that body suit?!? How amazing is that concept… I completely hate hate spanx, and being a shorty, body suits are often too long or end up in places they shouldn’t, lol. This is genius! Thank you for sharing, my friend, and – by the way – you look incredible, mama… never think otherwise <3!

You undoubtedly surpassed my expected results. Thanks for supplying such helpful, trusted, informative and in addition easy guidance on that topic to Kate.

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️
