Why I #LiveLokai

Be humble through the highs and hopeful through the lows of life

Why I #LiveLokai

The Lokai is a trendy bracelet with an empowering message that prompts people to maintain a positive mindset and live a balanced life. The beaded bracelet stretches over the hand and rests comfortably on the wrist. With a quick glance at the wrist, the Lokai serves as a reminder to strive for a harmonious day; success is not attainable without first struggling, or sometimes, even failing.

Each bracelet consists of one white bead and one black bead that are connected by a string of clear beads. The white and black beads represent the high and low moments of life, while the clear beads represent all of the times in between those extreme good and bad times. The clear beads link the white and black beads together, symbolizing that life is a circular journey.

The white bead of the bracelet is infused with water attained from Mount. Everest. This bead represents those positive moments of life, or "high points" because it contains an element from the highest point on Earth. It is important to remember to stay humble when life is going exceptionally well.

The black bead of the bracelet is infused with mud from the Dead Sea. This bead represents those negative aspects of life, or "low points" because it contains an element from the lowest point on Earth. The black bead is a reminder to stay hopeful even when enduring the more difficult aspects of life.

Furthermore, Lokai donates 10% of their net profits to charities including: American Himalayan Foundation, Music Beats Hearts, Pencils of Promise, Best Buddies International, charity: water, World Wildlife Fund, Save the Children, Susan G. Komen, Alzheimer's Association, Jane Goodall Institute, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Make-A-Wish, Oceana, and New York's largest poverty fighting organization, Robin Hood.

Lokai has released 10 different limited edition bracelets. Instead of having the string of clear beads that connect the white and black beads, the limited edition bracelets have a different color strand which corresponds with the charity that the limited edition bracelet donates to. For example, the purple Lokai donated to the Alzheimer's Association, the blue Lokai donated to charity: water, and the tie-dye Lokai donated to Make-A-Wish. Currently, there is a pink Lokai that donates to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and is available for purchase through October 2016

I love that I #livelokai because I have developed an awareness of the way that I perceive the high points and low points of my life; the premise of the bracelet has encouraged me to understand that life is more about the journey itself rather than the final destination.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
