CLOSET COUTURE blogs Brazilets!

"You won’t find this collection of accessories off the runway, but in an attempt to stay positive, go green, and maintain a true recessionista spirit, I recently discovered Brazilets and caught up with the company’s founder, Kael Robinson. So when Kael explained that Brazilets are a sacred 200-year old fashion accessory that promises to bring good fortune while saving the Amazon rainforest, I got pretty excited.

Cited by US Style Watch and Life & Style magazine’s ‘must style green wear,’ Brazilets are ancient bracelets from Bahia, Brazil that are stylishly worn through Latin America, yet have retained their spiritual significance. It is believed that when the material wears down and the Brazilets fall off naturally, your wish will come true. Brazilets have even caught the attention of celebrities and just last week, Lauren Conrad was spotted wearing multiple colors of Brazilets.

Brazilets are committed to protecting the Amazon Rainforest, and so far, they have planted a couple thousand trees and are working toward 1,000,000 trees by 2010. As Kael explains, “I was inspired even more as the economy and environment keeps affecting everyone's life. I thought it would be great to bring something unique and special that are known for their miraculous healing powers.” And while the Nasdaq may be down and there is a cynic in all of us, this go green accessory is definitely making it on to my list for summer."

more wishes..

Dear Brazilets Company,
My name is Kaitlin and I have been doing gymnastics for 13 years. I train gymnastics 5 days a week, so as you see I'm pretty serious about it. While doing gymnastics my ankles got really bad so I had to get surgery on my ankle last summer and this past summer. My wish is that I can get all the way healed again and will be able to compete for LSU next year.

Thanks,
Kaitlin

"Not an exciting story, but . . . . I am a recently divorced mom with a 13 year old son and a 9 year old daughter. I'm trying to turn my passion and part -time career of photography into a full-time career that will allow me to support myself and two kids . . . and two cats and two dogs! That is my wish" - Rhonda

"I wish for all my blood, sweat and tears to pay off" - Carrie

"when my daughter was 4 weeks old she started having seizures. at 8 weeks of age, she was diagnosed with a rare disease called tuberous sclerosis. the disease causes tumors to grow in her brain, heart, kidneys, eyes and skin. a few months ago, she has brain surgery to help control the seizures. we're still waiting to see if it was successful. in the meantime, she sees therapists every day so that she can learn the skills that most kids pick up on their own--communicating, holding a bottle. so my wish is this: "i wish that my beautiful 20-month old daughter will be seizure-free and learn how to say "mama and dada, i love you."" - Anita

"My wish came true when I least expected it. For months my brazilet was on so tightly that it showed no sign of ever coming off. Then, one morning I'm lying in bed and it just simply came untied. I wished for love and it happened with a man that I had no idea I could love the way I have. We met randomly through a mutual friend and at a NYC nightclub. Instantly, we were inseparable. Within weeks we moved in together and we still love each other:)" -Nanette

I wish that I could wake up every morning knowing that there is no racism happening in the world. I wish we could all stand together in peace. I also wish that I can adopt a African baby boy. - Chuck
