Mashiah Vaughn - Business Founder, Mother, Model, Actor
As founder and president of Open Sundaes, Mashiah Vaughn is a multi-tasking visionary with a personal ‘hands on’ approach. She has built her bath product business, along with a successful modeling and acting career, and now uses her resources to help women and children throughout the world by promoting female role models who inspire women to be their best.

Working as a model since the age of twelve, Mashiah’s resumé includes Victoria’s Secret, Club Monaco, The Gap, Ralph Lauren, Polo, FCUK, and Flare Magazine. She has also taught modeling, managed fashion shows, and scouted and cast models and actors.

Mashiah’s acting credits include feature films such as The Butterfly Project, Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Going the Distance, Sliders, Scary Movie 4, and Get Carter. Her TV credits include “Supernatural,” “Six Feet Under,” “Stargate,” “The Chris Isaak Show,” “Jeremiah,” “Dark Angel,” and “Smallville.”

Over the years, Mashiah’s modeling and acting career involved a great deal of travel. While on the road, her favorite way to wind down was with a fragrant bath bomb. This is where the seed of her bath and body products company Open Sundaes germinated. As a working parent, she appreciated the struggles women encounter and recognized that pampering oneself is important for peace of mind and soul. She combined the idea of creating bath and body products with her love of desserts – but not the calories – and launched Open Sundaes in February 2005.

Mashiah has always participated in projects that benefit the community. She has supported Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, Sage Women’s Shelter, The Vancouver Food Bank, The Vancouver Christmas Bureau Toy Drive, Boost for Kids, Vancouver Children’s Hospital, and Vancouver Women’s Hospital. In April 2010, Mashiah became a spokesperson for The Obakki Foundation and in 2007 was recognized as one of Vancouver’s 40 under 40 entrepreneurs. Next spring she launches her first in of a series of children’s books that she penned and illustrated herself.
A mother at seventeen, Mashiah learned at an early age to manage a career and family responsibilities. She now has a second son with her partner Jason Dussault.
