Big Shop Update, 7 NEW Shellusions Design & eBook!

1/13/2023

Hey friends and fishes!

The first update for 2023 is now live over on www.ShopVancouverMermaid.com and it includes 6 all new Shellusion Merfolk Top designs plus one returning design (with some modifications) as well as my brand new Pose Guide for Merfolk PFD!

I opted to start us off with all the base shells I plan on offering moving forward (of course I may add to this list in the future) in super neutral/natural colours to make these tops work with multiple mermaid looks.

I think the Nixie design is probably my favourite and I may have to order one for myself! 😅

After this update you can expect to see some new variations in shell colours with with new decorations and details (like different starfish, shells, pearls, gems, etc.).

As far as the eBook goes, this has been a little side-project of mine for a while now and it's actually something I've felt like I've needed on days when I need a little inspo.

So I went through SO MANY photos and videos and broke down my routine as well as all of my go-to poses and classified them into three main groups. I included examples as well as tips, PLUS my actual pose routine to give you a starting-off point.

This is meant to be used on your phone/on the go and is the perfect thing to hand to your photographer so that they know what you are looking for and they know what they can ask of you as well.

I hope you all find it helpful! 💖

That's it for this update and I look forward to getting started on the next one!

Happy Swimming!

Among the worst offenders of BAD IDEAS is 5 Minute Crafts and their DIY mermaid monofins. I made it 3 seconds into the video and had to stop. 🙄
