I've been obsessed with bracelets since I was 13 years old. I used to wear millions of them on my wrists, for as long as possible until they broke.

I don't know how many of you were or are in similar boats, but there's just something about having a bracelet on that makes me feel secure. They were always my security blankets.

When I discovered Pura Vida, and all the different charities that they support, I immediately fell in love. Besides that, they are beautiful bracelets that remind me of summer and remind me of the cause I supported every time I look at my wrist or my ankle.

If you're in the mood for some new summer accessories, check out Pura Vida. Here are just a few of the organizations you could be helping when you make your awesome purchase.

Mental Health is something that is becoming increasingly more trendy in our society. But it's not just a trend, t's something real that millions of people struggle with, in many different ways. This is a bracelet that I, myself, wear proudly in remembrance of what I've come through, and that there is always hope.

Pura Vida

For those who have dreamt of being a mother and starting a family, and lost it. To those who felt hopeless afterwards.

8. Alzheimer's Awareness

Alzheimer's is something that plagues a lot of families nowadays. It's tragic to watch those you love slowly forget you, and themselves.

For those who never knew their real parents. For those stuck in foster homes. For those whose families were made complete when those papers were signed. Family by choice, not by blood.
