Express Yourself with Expressions Bracelets

It’s Blissdom week and I am excited to see some wonderful friends. While I am there, these are the bracelets I will be wearing. I absolutely love them. I found Expressions Bracelets about a year ago and purchased the colorful Stackable Bracelet set. I receive so many complements about the bracelets and I am beyond impressed with the craftsmanship and uniqueness of the bracelets. I have referred many friends and family to SaRatta’s shop and they all love her designs.

SaRatta was generous enough to send me a beautiful collection of bracelets to wear while I am attending the conference. I absolutely love the color combinations she came up with and my girls are huge fans of many of the new ones. Check her shop out and browse all of her designs. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

I have been a supporter of the Hearts of Haiti and Rawanda Path to Peace products since they came out. For one, the products are absolutely beautiful and secondly, they support a good cause.

Heart of Haiti is a “Trade, Not Aid” initiative that was launched by artist and social entrepreneur, Willa Shalit, The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and Macy’s. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and despite the devastating earthquake people there are filled with hope and a desire to improve their lives through employment. By creating one of a kind pieces – such as bracelets, metalwork, paper mache, and wood work - the Heart of Haiti initiative provides artists with an opportunity to make a living, feed their families and pay their children’s school fees.

Rwanda Path to Peace is a healing journey and a source of sustainable living that utilizes the incredible skill of weaving that is passed down by generations of Rwandan women. The sale of the baskets through Macy’s has given these women a source of sustainable income and pride. The project and the income it generates has improved the lives of at least 18,000 children, providing access to education, health care and more.

I have created a board on Pinterest sharing some of the photographs of the beautiful items I have in support of both causes. I would greatly appreciate your following my board and liking the pins. Also, support the causes and the artisans who have created these beautiful products. You will not regret it and I would greatly appreciate your support.
