Lola & Ivy Influencer Trip to SLO 2024

February 7, 2024 By Ruthie Ridley No Comments

Ruthie Ridley Blog Lola & Ivy Influencer Trip to SLO 2024

Every year our agency takes us away as their talent for an annual gathering with fellow creators. It’s always so much fun to connect with people in the industry that do what you do!! Our job can be pretty isolating so getting out and sharing our passions in a fun, laid back environment is always so life giving!! Every day is filled with activities surrounding food, drinks and connecting with one another!! Below is a breakdown of what we did each day while we were in SLO! I can’t wait for next year!!

Sunrise Soiree

One of the first events was a gorgeous welcome brunch at Region hotel. This was the perfect way to start off the trip! Everybody was dressed like they were attending a Taylor Swift concert and I absolutely loved it!! As you can tell, the theme was very bright and floral and, let me tell you, these girls did not come to play with their outfits! Everyone looked absolutely stunning!! The vibes, the decor, the food, everything was on point! It was so much fun to just dress up with your girls and have a delicious brunch!

MarFarm

The next big event planned for the week was a day spent at MarFarm. Now when I think of a farm, I typically think of manual labor in the dirt with farm animals everywhere. Not the most fun idea for a day trip if you ask me. However, this place is absolutely NOT your average farm!

MarFarm is like if you typed “aesthetic farm” on Pinterest. Everything about it is cozy, country, and picturesque. I’m sure you can tell by the pictures alone. They had the cutest activities for us to do, like customizing our own hats, making flower arrangements, sampling perfumes, etc. They even had a little wagon full of puppies!!! I was completely blown away at the beauty of this place and already wish I could go back!

 

Granada Inn Dinner Party

Our last big event of the trip was a gorgeous dinner at the Granada Inn! The theme for the night was glamor. Everyone was dressed to the nines and looked stunning! I decided to wear my new Petal & Pup dress. The sheer dress with the sparkle detail was absolutely perfect for the dinner!

 The food was immaculate, the drinks were delicious, the hotel was absolutely gorgeous!! This place literally felt like we were transported to a completely different time. Everything looked so moody and eclectic with a touch of vintage. Getting to have a delicious meal, sip on some cocktails and enjoy the company of these amazing women was truly the perfect way to close out our trip.

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 🤍
The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Comb The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Combo😝!!! You already know life is crazy, there is no “work-life balance” & we have stories to exchange for dayyys!!! 

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 🙋🏾‍♀️

Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD IS GREAT. There are seasons where God takes years and decades to answer prayers (and I’m still waiting for some of those) and then there’s the moments where God answers your prayers hours or a day later. He’s amazing in the suddenly and he’s amazing in the waiting. Thankful for the journey✨Thankful for his faithfulness - thankful that even as I wait - He is still good😌

The way she spoke about healing, freedom, and using your own story to create change was both powerful and deeply moving. Her journey is a reminder that what we walk through doesn’t have to define us — but it can shape the way we serve others.

If you haven’t listened yet, this is your sign.
