Happy Memorial Day, everyone!
I hope everyone has enjoyed their long weekend. I feel like I’m still in school mode, therefore I should be doing homework or studying for an exam. But that is totally NOT the case, considering I have already graduated. HA!
Since graduation was a couple weeks ago, this also means that summer is approaching and it’s approaching fast! I’ve always loved summer because my birthday is in June (Gemini baby & I love it!), hot weather is the absolute best, hiking, swimming and getting outdoors are my favorite activities, & I love dressing for summer!
Seriously, my summer style is so much cuter than my winter style. I also have such a variety, you know? Somedays I feel like wearing jean shorts to be more casual or I feel like having a beach-y vibe. Other days I want to wear a dress or a romper to spice things up. And you never want to forget the accessories! Simple & chic accessories can seriously make your outfit. It adds a little flare & something extra that not many people think of.
Lately, I have been rocking my Pura Vida Bracelets with basically any & all outfits! Regardless if I’m wearing jean shorts with my white sneakers or a floral romper, my Pura Vida Bracelets complete any look. They are stylish, versatile, filled with vibrant colors, & the perfect accessory to pull an outfit together.
The other great thing about Pura Vida Bracelets is what they stand for. They don’t only have affordable jewelry & accessories that are so on trend & fashionable, but their mission is absolutely incredible.
This is their story: “Pura Vida” means “pure life” in Spanish, a Costa Rican philosophy that encourages the appreciation of life’s simple treasures. Slowing things down, celebrating good fortune, and refusing to take anything for granted embodies this laid back lifestyle. “Pura Vida” means living life to the fullest. It’s more than just a saying… it’s a lifestyle.” Pura Vida was founded by two friends- Griffin Thall & Paul Goodman, after traveling to Costa Rica. In Costa Rica, they ended up meeting Jorge & Joaquin, which is how Pura Vida Bracelets was created. Their partnership has been such a success for all four of them and Pura Vida Bracelets is thriving! “The bracelets continue to serve as a tangible reminder to slow down and live in the moment.”
My favorite aspect about the company is the way they give back, it’s truly inspiring. They created the “Charity Collection – Every Bracelet Purchased Makes a Difference. Pura Vida has donated $1,440,822 to causes they believe in.” The charities include animal awareness (my personal favorite!), cancer awareness, women’s causes, & many more. They’ve created hundreds of jobs, donated over a million dollars to charities, & believe in appreciating life. If this isn’t the definition of a company that does great things, I’m not sure what is.
I hope everyone has a great week, talk soon!
