More Than Just A Bracelet.*

When looking at a piece of jewellery how do you decide whether you are going to buy it or not? Do you decide based on the price? Appearance? Packaging? Slogan? I do all but not all.

What first attracted me towards Sailbrace.co.uk was their slogan 'Anchor yourself to something special' I fell in love with the words and to me it had such a beautiful meaning. The slogan itself had made me want...need one of these bracelets but with such a large range of colours how was I supposed to choose?

I based my decision on the anchor itself as I owned a lot of Gold and Silver Jewellery but not yet Rose Gold. Being a typical blogger I obviously was  drawn into this. I then had the hard decision of the strap/rope however I went with something slightly neutral compared to that of the Rose Gold, so that the anchor was the main feature.

I have been wearing my Sail Brace bracelet for about a week now and I have to say it is the comfiest thing I've ever worn, half the time I forget I'm wearing it! Obviously the bracelet isn't waterproof because the 'strap' would get ruined but because it can easily be tied and re-tyed it is easy to remove for a shower!

The bracelet would be a perfect present for a best-friend or loved one at christmas as it is suggesting to them, that you don't want to lose them and fell like you need to hold them close. Guess my friends already know what they're getting for christmas,

Sail Brace have only recently launched in the UK, so if like me you have completely fallen in love with the whole website then feel free to head over and purchase one yourself. I have a 10% discount code available to you which is 'abigailjessicax' so make sure you go over to sailbrace.co.uk to make sure you get a fabulous saving! If you are interested in the Rose Gold and Grey Bracelet then you better hurry as they are limited addition!

Pink October!*

 

Hellooo lovelies! 

Many people associate October with autumn and Halloween, but what you may not know is that it is also a month to raise awareness of Breast Cancer.

Over 50,000 women and around 350 men are diagnosed with Breast Cancer every year. This makes Breast Cancer the most common form of Cancer in the UK. One in eight women are diagnosed with Breast Cancer in their lifetime... resulting in around 12,000 women and 80 men dying from Breast Cancer each year.

However there is a rise in the amount of people surviving Breast Cancer each year. It is estimated that in the UK over 80% of Breast Cancer suffers survive their first five years after beating the treatment, this is a huge increase over a 40 year time period when it used to be 50% surviving 5 years. This improvement isn't just impacting the single person’s life. It is helping their families. Watching their Mother, Father, Grandma, Brother, Sister and many more survive Breast Cancer has to be the most fulfilling thing ever to happen. People are surviving Cancer longer because of our help.

People like you and I help by making donations. By giving on a just giving page or donating to the charity shop even buying products from different companies that then give a profit to Cancer research. This money is buying new treatments. More Breast-screening monitors. This will help the rate of people surviving Breast Cancer live past the next 5 years, increase incredibly over time.

One company which is supporting Breast Cancer this month is Glamulet. Glamulet creates stylish fashion accessories for women! They have started selling bracelets, necklaces and charms with the Pink Breast Cancer ribbon as well as many more different items to spread awareness. My personal favourite is the rose gold charm! The colours look ever so good together and would look gorgeous with any outfit! Every charm that is bought, they are donating 50% of the sales to a Breast Cancer charity. You can own a stylish piece of jewellery that in the long run could help save someone’s life.

If you think about it, it is just like an offer when you go shopping... 'buy one get one free' ... you are buying something for yourself while giving back to help someone else.

Please do go and check out the Glamulet website because they are helping to make a difference, and I believe everyone can.
