Inspiration
An invitation: Be Gentle AF
Being gentle with ourselves means giving ourselves permission to slow down, and recognize that we may not be capable of our normal pace at the moment. Depending on where you are in life, your responsibilities, and mental health - your pace will look different than those around you. Sometimes, it’s just getting through the day. Sometimes, it looks like social justice work and immersing yourself in action. Sometimes, it looks like holding space for those you love, for yourself, or for community. Sometimes, it’s allowing others (your community) to hold you.
Especially important when we’re having challenging conversations or doing things outside of our comfort zones, we must be gentle with ourselves as we learn. We must be gentle as we UNLEARN harmful conditioning and systems. We must release the need to be perfect, sit with discomfort, lean into that discomfort, and take accountability for our mistakes. This is an invitation to be gentle AF with yourself as you endeavor on this journey, as you get through your day or week, and as you give yourself space to be the best you can in this moment.
This can also look like an invitation to be gentle AF to those you love and those in community with you, as working through trauma looks differently for everyone.

AVOID WATER & SELF CARE PRODUCTS
Avoid exposure to water (especially saltwater and chlorine), lotions, sprays, soap, etc because they can damage the elastic over time - and this can lead to snapping. Even the oils and sweat on our skin can wear out the elastic eventually.
Remove your bracelet when bathing, swimming, doing the dishes, etc. These activities can also dull the crystals.
STORAGE + CLEANING
Every bracelet comes with an organic cotton pouch for safe storage when not in use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause crystals to fade over time. Keep your bracelet out of reach of children and pets, as they can easily snap the elastic.
Use a soft cloth (like microfiber) to wipe off oils, dust, or dirt. Avoid soap or harsh chemicals, and just use a damp cloth if needed. Allow your crystal bracelet to dry before wearing it again.
REMOVE BEFORE ROUGH ACTIVITIES
Avoid getting your bracelet caught on things by removing it before doing activities like playing with kids or dogs, yard work, exercise, etc. You can also wear them on your non-dominant hand to reduce chances of getting caught and snapping.
GENTLE HANDLING
The elastic can snap if handled roughly. Gently roll your bracelet over your hand when putting it on or taking it off, and avoid pulling or stretching too hard.
