Rubi Readings Launch
Photo: One Confession Photography
I have worked so incredibly hard mentally, emotionally, spiritually for me not to celebrate my hard work. That is why I had decided to do a private launch party for RubiReadings.com. I wanted to be able to celebrate my progress as a healer, reader, teacher, guide and supporter for all business woman. So here is a little insight on how I celebrated and collaborated with talented individuals.

Castle Realty Partners, Inc provided a perfect space to host my event surrounded by pure nature, natural settings, buddhas everywhere and magical energy. They also gave out cute gift bags for guests. These woman are behind my vision as a business owner. They have taught me to keep pushing and persevere aside from any setbacks or challenges in life.

When I meditated on this event I had a vision to showcase individuals that truly uplift me and I admire their talent but there is one thing that I absolutely do not have the energy to do and that is coordinate it. I was blessed to have the best coordinator who took charge since day one, who was passionate in curating this event with me and who not only served thee best fresh Cucumber Margaritas but who invested so much of her time and energy to make sure everything flowed effortlessly. So thank you, Lucia Calderon, Owner of LC Special Events.

Setting the tone and the ambience for any event isn’t the easiest task and that is why I asked only the best party rentals to help us out. Joy’s Party Rentals are so efficient with making sure that the initial vision is carried out throughout the course of the planning of the event until complete set-up. This day was such a test for all of us in that we experienced high winds but they were able to help and ensure that everything stayed in place. Aside from helping with the complete set-up they were exceptionally on-time with the pick-up. Thank you so much for collaborating with me and allowing me to completely depend on your items for our vendors and our guests.
LA GARDEN
We had handcrafted succulents from LA Garden! Diana dedicates her time in combining passion and art into one. Check out her page for amazing monthly boxes, stickers, magnets and support this amazing woman! She truly dedicates so much time to her craft and it shows.

When it comes to combining passion, art and beauty Amanda & Carissa, Owners of Veiled Vanity Artistry know how to master that. There is something about sitting in their chair and seeing the transformation from both inside and out come alive. For this event they were the reasons why I carried such confidence and excitement. They truly know how to make me feel beautiful. Aside from doing my hair and makeup they created a thoughtful giveaway with hair and makeup products and showcased their best work. They own the best hair & makeup agency working only with the best photographers, models, brides and grooms.

My favorite card from the traditional tarot deck is The High Priestess. She is unbelievably balanced when it comes to reality and the subconscious. She is the strongest intuitively and carries so much wisdom that she loves to share with the world. She is compassionate, a spiritual goddess and extremely generous. So when I thought of creating my own version of the High Priestess I wanted her to carry a little of Rubi Readings. Diana Oliva helped me reach this goal by titling it La Brujita Shirt…La Brujita “The Little Witch” was a reference everyone used to call me when I first began to learn Tarot and I used to be so offended because I never considered myself a witch. Learning tarot is like reading a book. However, now, I am so confident in my abilities that I could careless what people refer me as and so I decided to own up to that name. Thank you Diana for collaborating and bringing these shirts to my event!

I have watched Raquel Munoz expand her hobby of candy buffets into a high-end candy buffet business. The Sweetest Touch brings an eye-catching buffet filled with themed desserts, candies and treats. It’s her attention to detail and creativity that makes you want her candy regardless if you are a child or adult. Her passion in what she does shows and I think anybody who has worked with her can truly see her vision.

I am all about ambience and tradition and that is why when I was manifesting this event I envisioned latin music to be playing as my guests arrived and enjoyed drinking and walking around. Hans Yunda is not only musically talented, he has a kind heart and soul that is felt through his music. Without knowing his setlist it brought a smile to my face as I had recognized a lot of the songs from my childhood. I am a firm believer that if you perform with passion in your heart you will go places, and this man, will definitely be performing countless of times in front of audiences who truly appreciate his talent.

I think that a hair salon is not just a place to get your hair done but it’s a place where any man or woman can devote time to themselves. Chemo and Veronica, from Salon 1971, create a welcoming experience to anybody. They greet every soul with such big smiles and laughter. They were so kind enough to come to my event and share their products, their purpose and passion. They are always finding ways to give back and I believe this is why they were brought to create more in this lifetime aside from just making someone feel incredible. Be sure to visit their salon if you are in the Downey Area.

Jocelyn Ramos, Owner of Luna Designs, has studied anterior design and has been creating artistically since she was born. She brings her art, passion and lust for culture in her designs. She can create just about anything and everything! Recently, she has been collaborating with Annette Romo Yoga by hosting Art Workshops. She makes anyone with zero art skills feel like a professional! She brought a do-it-yourself workshop to my event where guests were able to design their own ARY makeup bag.

Aside from celebrating the launch of Rubi Readings it was also the weekend of my 33rd birthday and Baby Pastries was so sweet to surprise me with a elegant and delicious birthday cake! It is within my core to collaborate with heartwarming, compassionate and creative individuals and Wendy, Owner of Baby Pastries, brought delicious treats for my dessert table. She speaks with love and sugar but her desserts bring a traditional hispanic culture in every bite. I have tasted just about every treat she makes from her vegan donuts, bars, cookies and cakes that I absolutely never ever feel guilty afterwards. Thank you for your love for Mexico, your love for baking and for your generous heart.

These woman right here have taught me what it is like to be open to receiving. Christina and Annette are the type of woman I choose to surround myself with because they empower me, encourage me, strengthen me and show me how to work with intention. That is why we decided to bring all of our passions into our own Intention Candles. This was our soft launch for our unique candles. I have been creating intention candles as part of Set In Stone but my longterm vision was to create blends that were infused with natural herbs, essential oils and crystals. These beautiful ladies and I finally did it!

Annette Romo Yoga and myself have been collaborating for the past two years. She has this innate ability to create mindful workshops to encourage inspiration, motivation, self love, creativity and to open the door to spirituality. Her entrepreneur mindset is contagious and was the reason behind creating this event. I have such a special place for her in my heart because she has given me a platform to explore and share my gifts with those who attend her events.

Alyssa N. Griego has been producing and directing all of my Set In Stone videos and I could not be more blessed to have her in my life. She has a vision and art that sets the tone for healing, believing and intention through the camera. For this event I had asked her to perform one of her sentimental pieces of poetry. A year ago she published her first poetry book, “Sad Girl Strong Woman” It is woman like her that encourage other woman to follow their path despite their troubled past.

Food is a must at any event and I think that for this particular event I needed to have traditional tacos. Tacos are our go-to in my family and when it came to choosing somebody to partner with I could not think of anybody else but Viveros Catering. This sweet family puts so much thought and love into their meals. I felt like everyone in this event walked around with so much love because of them. They brought me the feeling that my grandma was walking around making sure everyone was fed and happy.

I watched Rosie take her passion for crystals and essential oils into a small business venture. She created the best cleansing sprays to help clear negative energy and to bring soothing energies. Rosie contributed to the special giveaways in this event by giving out cleansing sprays.

Photo props are a must at any event and for this particular event I asked my talented friend Valerie White, Owner of Blissfulhearts, to create custom photo props and signs. Signs were placed on tables for the guests to use and have fun with such as “Sage Yo’self” “Passion Pays Your Bills” “La Brujita”. Valerie has a heart of gold and is in a stage in her life where she is turning her passion into a business. She devotes most of her time running wild with her creativity and it shows.

There are people who enter your life at just the precise moment destined to hold your hand through a monumental point in your life and Mark Mestaz is one of them. I had asked him to introduce Alyssa and myself as he has been part of our triangle of healing, empowerment and growth. He surprised me with exceptionally well put together speeches where he spoke of our personal journey. He always has a way to bring me to happy tears and reminds me of the strong person I have become because to be quite honest I tend to forget that. I honor Mark’s journey and I honor our relationship as one that reminds me what unconditional love is for another being.
I am so grateful and humbled to be able to look back at this memorable moment in my life. It takes so much to put something like this together and my heart is so fulfilled. Thank you to all who attended and who have constantly shown your support whether it’s showing up to events, workshops, purchasing readings or reiki healings or for even just being a supportive friend. I appreciate you and I recognize who you are.
