Helpful Item
Handmade Breathe Bracelet
Designed to be reminiscent of a wax stamp used to seal letters, the organically shaped BREATHE charm is nestled between natural turquoise blue acai seed beads and intended to inspire self care and healing.
I love this bracelet and wear it a lot! I like the beads are not plastic but natural seeds, I feel good that it's environmentally friendly and I like that it's blue because that's the color of healing.
And most importantly, The BREATHE charm is a call to take a deep breathe (or 3!) when anxious feelings start. Deep breathing oxygenates blood causing our brain to release endorphins, which in turn helps relax the body. The other side of the charm is a old world flower design that serves as a reminder of nature.
The bracelet is hand-made in the USA using fair-trade seeds of the acai berry.
- 7" in diameter
- 2/3" recycled pewter wax stamp
- Handcrafted in the US
Price: $28 plus S&H (comes gift boxed with a keepsake bag)

Life can be hard.
