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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
