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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
