Pura Vida Bracelets Instagram

I was scrolling through Instagram when I stumbled upon a picture of a wave ring. I found one of these in a store a few years ago, but I talked myself out of buying it. Instantly regretting that decision, I have been searching for a wave ring for awhile now. I found the perfect sized one featured on an Instagram account called Pura Vida Bracelets.

I did some major scavenging on their website and fell in love with every thing I saw just on the homepage. Not only do they sell bracelets, but also clothing, bathing suits, anklets, rings, clutches, and necklaces. Most bracelets are only $5, and there is always a sale going on so you can purchase a lot for super cheap.

What really draws me to Pura Vida Bracelets is their story, which you can read here. They are partnered with over 190 charities and have donated over $935,358. All bracelets are handcrafted by artisans in Costa Rica, which have now given individuals who were once living in poverty full time jobs.

I personally have purchased quite a few bracelets and the gold and silver wave rings myself, and not pictured is a boho clutch that I store all of my make up in.

Pura Vida Bracelets are very active on social media, especially Instagram. I encourage you to give them a follow. Their photographs are very aesthetically pleasing, and their website has the option to "shop our insta." You can get inspiration from their photos and see which bracelets work well together. Not only will you be looking trendy, but also aiding a wonderful cause.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
