I googled "candlestick," and lo and behold:

Yup I googled it too lol
just to make sure it wasn’t all in my head. And it’s not - it’s just that Roodassb1tch will pick gaslight over google every day of the week.But what do you do, Ruby? Because you keep saying "we" an awful lot for things you have no involvement in.
Also "the lovely team at the warehouse" - the same people who Ruby keeps blaming for everything that goes wrong with the business.

I am also an idiot who thought a candle like that is called a candlestick (although I have no interest in candles, unlike Ruby who is supposedly OBSASSED with them). But if anyone picked me up on it I would definitely have googled and realised my mistake, rather than blindly insisting what I said was right.
It’s giving “ I don’t eat anything, and then when I’m about to faint I eat a cube of cheese” from The Devil Wears Prada….
From the vomit yellow of the cover to the horrible illustrations, the ruined book and that... Watercolor mess it's just painful. For a perfectionnist she doesn't spend enough time to properly learn and train. She has the chance to have enough money to create her own products to sell, she should really work more on it, or make collaborations with real artists.
And what's "fun" and "exciting" about that food? It just sounds sad and not really appetizing to be honest.

Well OBVIARSELY that is incorrect because it’s a definition from the Cambridge dictionary and Ruby is going to
What does she mean, she can't believe they're launching today? If she were really in charge of the company, she would have been in charge of the launch. She's been making these planners for years, it shouldn't have come as some sort of amazing surprise. She sounds like a little schoolgirl, not like a grown-up woman in charge of her own professional business.
I called it. Video for #5 is up. She is so boring and predictable!
Also, the fact that she didn't know what a candlestick is shows her narrow vocabulary skills, which will not do her any favours in school, nor in writing anything worthwhile. Does she even know the difference between a candlestick, votive, pricket, Menorah, candelabra, hurricane, dish, sconce, lantern and chamberstick, to mention only a few? Rubbish, you don't impress me, at all! After a full year off, maximal travelling and opportunities to brighten up, you are as dull as a low burning dip.
She has a new "GAT RADDY WITH ME" TikTok up in which she promotes the planner launch with the exact same spiel as every other time:
OIY RON THE BUSINESS. OIY DESOIGNED THE PLANNER MOIYSALF. IT'S THE BASST PLANNER AVVER AND SYOOTS AWL MOIY NEEDS.
But then she says a bunch of nonsense that only hammers home that she'd never had anything to do with the business beyond marketing and emailing the product manager with a list of bad spread ideas and childish doodles.
"Oiy'm planning on dyooing a full storytoiyme of...(waves claw hand around)...how oiy stahhted the comm-panieeee? Becoss...it's changed a LOT over the yehhrs. Syo whan oiy FARST started making the acadammick planners...oiy did it with anothha comm-panny and it was koind of...(waves hands around)...a collaborative thing? Bot now oiy RON THE COM-PANNIE INSTAD. And oiy wahhhrk as paahhrt of an INCRADDIBOL TYEAM. Bot it has been a laahrning carve becoss oiy've koind of been thryown in at the deep and with it? Omm... Bot oiy've lahhrned syo moch alraddy. Even josst in the space of a yahhr."
None of her stories make any sense and she can't keep anything straight. She's always claimed she ran the business, designed everything, girlbossed it singlehandedly, etc., then she admitted she'd worked with a designer, but quickly went back to claimed she did it all herself. Now she's saying she didn't run things at all and took over control later? And she's been thrown in the deep end the past year, even though the company has been all but dead for the last year and the new planner is a carbon copy of the last one? It certainly doesn't tally with all the lies she's told in the past.
The only thing I believe might have changed is that Sixteenth wanted to pull the plug when they shut down Jack Edwards' store at the beginning of the year, but Ruby talked them into keeping it open for one last crappy cash grab. They presumably told her she'd have to finance it, market it solo, etc., and she'd need to pitch in more because they had no faith in it and weren't going to front the costs. I do not believe for a second that she's actually running the business, handling logistics, managing a team, etc.
It seems to me that Ruby's inflated opinion of self is so contrary to her actual abilities. Her 'embroidery' 'painting' 'cooking' and 'book binding' efforts are all so woeful. There's no practice made perfect here. I think she assumes brilliance at all things just because of academic success. Threads here suggest the majority of us do not perceive her as brilliant or in anyway academically gifted. Her use and understanding of English for a native speaker yet alone one who studied English to degree level is, like her craft efforts, woeful. I'm not pretending any kind of brilliance but I do know what a candlestick is. I am able to pronounce most words as they should be said. I can make a cuppa without noise or mess. I can bake or cook things without burning them. I know the only way to improve a newly acquired skill is to practice it or learn from someone who already has that skill. I have (I hope) a realistic opinion of self and unlike Ruby I do not assume skill in every conceivable sphere of life. In fact v much the opposite my attempts at the cha cha would benefit from much practice and even then I'm not altogether hopeful. To get an idea of how awful I was my cha cha, skill wise, is on par with Ruby's embroidery skills. Yup, my cha cha was that bad - haha.
And, most importantly, I assume that if someone points out you're doing something wrong, you act like an adult about it instead of reacting like an 8 year old being bullied on the playground.
I'm so confused about her planner. What is it meant to BE? A planner, a friendship book, a bullet journal, a commonplace book? It's such a mess. And it looks so childish with all those doodles.
How very dare you, she drew all the doodles herself this year! (Presumably to save on costs and inflate her ego.)
She’s twirling on road now?
her feet look like they’re in need of an exorcism
She's how old? 23? I've got a case of second hand embarrassment. She is so cringe.
Her latest video is nothing but an Ad for her planner. An undeclared Ad. So I reported it. So did my friend. So should everyone. It is time she learns and if enough people complain, maybe, for once, action will take place. She should not be allowed to slip through the rules because her parents have some extra bucks. So sick of her entitled attitude. She gets worse every year. I reported, thumbed it down and not even bothering to watch it. I use Erin Condren planners!
God, this defensive, lie-filled planner-shilling video is beyond embarrassing.
Starting off a video acting huffy and with a chip on her shoulder is definitely a great look for someone trying to convince people to fork over £18.50+P&P for a pile of tit.
"OIY DYOO YEEESE THIS PLANNAHHH..." Ruby says, passive-aggressively.
(Ruby attempts to prove this by angrily flipping through a whopping two whole pages, then abruptly cuts away to a weird split-second image of some businesspeople standing in a field for some reason:
Then cuts to a different angle of her showing the same pages again.)
She claims she uses her planner daily for 4 years, yet still struggles to find any that have been used consistently outside of advertisements and the same planner pages always crop up again and again.
She's clearly aware that people know she doesn't use it and yet can't be bothered to either fess up or make the lies convincing and thought that committing to filling out a few fake pages in a row ahead of filming this video would sell her bull.
I don't know why anyone would buy what she's selling, figuratively or literally. Just endless lies to try to sell naïve children some overpriced trash that Ruby doesn't use herself.
The planner's literally only just launched and already she's telling customers that they'll be late.
And in a truly impressive feat of lazy incompetence, the listing page has the description for last year's planner by mistake, claiming the new one to have a woodland theme and illustrations from someone who's not Ruby.
"The forth annual Academic Planner is here." Perfectionist. Genius. Born for Oxford University.
They've had a whole year to plan for this and she couldn't be bothered to double-check the listing before it went live. Just staggering how she ducks up so much, so often.
