Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Recently I have been getting lots of compliments on the Lokai bracelet that I got for my birthday a couple of months ago.  They are fun, trendy and I love their background history. Lokai bracelets are clear, sort of rubbery and have one black bead and one white bead. This organization also donates 10% of net profits to various charities.

I think that the Lokai website sums it up best:

“The black bead holds mud from the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, signifying the difficult moments you experience throughout life. Even through life’s lowests moments, stay hopeful.” 

“The white bead carries water from Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, this bead represents life’s highest moments. It’s those times when you’re feeling on top of the world, that it’s most important to stay humble.” 

I was reading about the founder’s story and here’s what he said “I brought these two key elements together because life is full of cycles. The rest of the beads are clear, because we all have our own story of balance to tell.”

These bracelets have really made an impact in my life reminding me to stay hopeful&humble. Even a small accesory can help remind me to keep positive and happy. Lokai bracelets are $18US and about $25CA. They are a great gift for friends or family or something fun to buy yourself.

Also a note: I got a size small which is 7 inches around and it fits good wtih some room left still.

Over these last few years I have picked up some really good online deals. Most of the time I don’t like to shop unless I can get a deal there. If I don’t find a deal online I would rather go offnline and not have to pay for shipping. Have you ever seen how much shipping can cost in Canada? I have had to pay about $50 once, never doing that again!

Deal #1: Starbucks Birthday drink. If you don’t know already if you register a gift card online you can get a free drink on your birthday. I know this isn’t totally online shopping but it is a good deal to know about.

Deal #2: Sephora Birthday pack. At sephore of you sign up to be a beauty insider (it’s free) in the month of your birthday you can pick one of the gift options. Then they will send it to you. This will cost a bit of shipping so while you’re at it just buy a few more things to make it worth your while.

Deal #3: 50% off and free shipping. The reason that I found the site Tobi was because it has some really fun bohemian pieces that some youtubers bought for Coachella. On you first order at Tobi you get 50% off your whole perchase and get free shipping. I was so excited to find this store!

Deal #4: Email. At most online stores they will ask you for your email. I like to give mine to them. I have an extra email that I will give them or I have a special folder in my regular email for them. When you get emails from these online stores they sometimes give you special promotions that most people wouldn’t get.
There are so many online deals. Sometimes ypu have to scavenge around for them snd sometimes they are right in the open. Just dont give up and keep looking.

That dress though. If you don’t see black and blue you are crazy. It took the internet by storm over night. I still don’t totally understand everything but apparently it has something to do with the lighting in the back making our eyes focus on different tones in the dress. If you look at the dress with inverted colours it is somewhat shades of white and gold. And just to ruin everything for the folks who see white and gold the original dress is blue and black!
