Pura Vida Bracelets

During this year I am going to be doing monthly features on my blog about a companies that give back. I have been lucky enough to represent some of these companies and I want to share them with you. The first company of the year is Pura Vida Bracelets. These bracelets are handmade by artisans Costa Rica and provide full time employment. These bracelets are beautiful and responsibly priced!

Do you know what else is awesome??? Not only do they provide full time employment to 100+ Native Costa Ricans, proceeds from each bracelet also benefit nonprofits. Depending on the bracelet you pick, a different charity receives the proceeds. How cool is that? With your purchase you are providing full time employment and a donation to a nonprofit. Below you will find links to so of my personal favorite charity bands and the link to the nonprofit they support!

Pura Vida has many different charities they support. The charities change quite frequently so they are able to spread their love to multiple different areas. If you have a charity you can submit a request for them to support you! (HERE) It amazes me how one business can have an impact on people all around the world. Pura Vida has partnered with over 190 charties and donated more than $935,358 to date. They are also apart of 1% for the planet, which means they donate 1% of their annual net revenue to environmental organizations worldwide! How incredible is that???
