Relaxing by the Lake at Sunset

I put together a little compilation of clips from my last lake adventure and I am so blessed (or maybe cursed?) that several of these clips individually went viral over on my Instagram account.

This was fairly unexpected, though it was what I was aiming for with the clips (I plan to do a deep dive look at all of this at some point) and it has definitely been a wild ride over that last few weeks.

My account has gone from 13k, to over 26.4k and it's still going! 😲

I've been trying a few new strategies over on Instagram to grow my audience and reach more mermaid fans all over the world.

HOWEVER.

My YouTube channel does appear to be dying. I'm looking into that as well and have a plan I am working towards to maybe help bring it back to life.

That said, I am trying to be active over on TikTok (@vancouvermermaid) because creating short-form content is much easier and honestly a great deal more enjoyable/satisfying.

I've become increasingly interested in what constitutes a successful video between all of these platforms. Or maybe it really is just the luck of the draw? 

I see a lot of strategy videos for various platforms on YouTube but they all honestly say the same super vague things. I would love to see some concrete evidence as to why something out-performs something else.

The search for answers continues...

Mermaid Enjoying the Lakeside Sunset

I had the opportunity to sneak down to the lake for a very impromptu mermaid photoshoot with my husband Eric.

It was such a beautiful evening and the sunset was absolutely stunning.

The water was definitely too cold to be safe for swimming without protective gear, but regardless people were still out in it (I was shocked to be honest).

I'm stilling playing around with the styling for this wig and after the shoot, I decided to try different placement for the braids.

To be honest I can't really see myself enjoying the experience of actually swimming with a wig (especially one this ridiculously long) but it definitely did help keep me warm on land which was fantastic.

I forgot that it had actually rained the night before and so the beach was REALLY soggy and it did make switching from pose to pose a little... messy.

I would recommend bringing with a plastic/rubber mat of some kind to put under your towel because my bum was SOAKED after only a few minutes (while getting into my tail).

I recently did a TikTok showing how I edited the above pic if you would like to check that out for a little behind-the-scenes mermaid goodness. 

I am really looking forward to going back for more mermaid fun this summer! 💖

Happy Swimming!

Tail Orders and Fin Skin Production Problems

Though this photo isn't necessarily related to today's vlog I just had to share it because I'm so thrilled with how this shot came out! 😍

This week's vlog is actually from April 11th and 12th but because I took time off for my birthday I did get a bit behind on editing.

As of Friday the 22nd, the fin skins have been printed and I can't wait to see them in person. I will be sure to do another update video when I have them and can show how they turned out!
Back in my mermaid studio making the final mermaid fin skin prototype (running into problems), and cutting out mermaid tail orders in this week's studio vlog!
Thank you so much to those of you who are always patient and supporting me as I work through all of the curveballs life throws my way. As I'm typing this (on April 22nd) I have actually completed all of the previous tail orders (short of those on the Standby Queue who have yet to get me their measurements) and I am finally starting to feel the weight lift from my shoulders. 💖

I am very much looking forward to this next chapter and I am really looking forward to finalizing things for the next series of tails and fin skins that I will be making available in the shop.

Wishing you a MERmazing week and I will chat with you all again soon!

Happy Swimming!
