I received product/compensation in exchange for this post, all views, and opinions expressed here reflect those of my own.
When you were a child, did you make a new wish on each birthday? Perhaps blow dandelions and dream about what was to come? Did you indulge in the superstition of wishing on eyelashes? Other than the moment of the wish, did you think about what you were hoping for? Did you leave it to chance and “if it’s meant to be” or actively think about and pursue your wish? How about now?
I ask myself some of those same questions, then look back on past wishes. Sure, some may have been frivolous, but some had so much heft and meant something to me, or my family. When I heard about Wishbeads, I knew I needed more information. On first look, I knew they created beautiful jewelry. Then I read the story of how the company came to be, how it helps you along on an individual journey, and how a small piece of jewelry can help you visualize your purpose or wish.
Wishbeads was created by Alexa Fischer, an actress, mother and motivational speaker. Not only do you help yourself as you purchase a piece from Wishbeads, but each sale makes a workshop possible for underserved teens. “Wishbeads Workshops helps students articulate their wishes and goals and create a physical, visible reminder they can wear every day. These goals might relate to going to college, making the varsity swim team, building a better relationship with their parents, or finding a friend group that really supports them.”
Wishbeads comes in bracelets and necklaces and offers pieces for men and children too. When you receive your jewelry, each piece is beautifully packed. Ready for gifting or wishing. Then it’s as simple as write it, wear it and witness. You’ll write your wish on the enclosed wish paper, roll it with the help of a toothpick and enclose it in the jewelry piece. Then each day as you look at your beautiful piece, you’ll be intentionally reminded of the wish you’ve made. I also recommend you get the Wishwork book. Wishwork gives you the tools to make your wish and put it into action with daily lessons, journaling, and progress tracking.
Wishbeads are perfect for a gift for a friend, loved on,e or even yourself. Please check them out on Instagram and Facebook. After checking them out, let me know your favorite necklace or bracelet you’ve seen!
