So I have to ask…have you heard of the Shine Project? If not, let me fill you in…it was started by a pretty amazing woman, Ashley, and the idea behind it is to inspire people to go out of their comfort zone and reach their goals. Last year The Shine Project started a non-profit called The Shine Scholarship Project. They raise money to send at risk youth to college. How cool is that? I love people who have a passion to make change in the world! If you want to see a quick but very good video about it click here, you’ll also get to ‘meet’ Ashley…she is such a cutie 🙂
Ashley contacted me not too long ago about her shop that sells products to help raise money for The Shine Scholarship, it’s called Threads by The Shine Project. Threads employs the students that they give the scholarships to so they have continuous money coming in for college. The students make all sorts of amazing bracelets that are very Anthopology-esque.
Like this one, The Alex Bracelet, isn’t it gorgeous!?
And how about this one, The Change Bracelet. I love the simplicity of it, so trendy right now!
These bracelets are the perfect accessories for me, not too flashy and perfect for this momma to spice up her everyday outfits. They are made so well and are very durable…said the momma who has four kids hanging on her 24 hours a day.
They pair well with anything and everything! From my new addiction to loud and colorful skinny jeans all the way to my yoga pants mommy dress code.
If you have a moment, head on over to Threads and maybe grab a few things for you or someone you love…how about birthday presents, Christmas gifts, a ‘just thinking of you’ gift. You will feel so good knowing you are helping out at-risk youth and at the same time look stylish doing it…total win-win!
Thanks for stopping by today!
XOXO,
Love them !
It’s so strange to be perusing the blogs I follow, and stumble upon your post about Ashley! She has been a neighbor and friend since she was a young girl, raised in the spirit of SERVICE. It thrills my soul to know that her good works are spreading far and wide around the valley. It also reminds me that these blogs serve a greater purpose: to help us all feel more connected in this wonderful thing called LIFE! I envision Ashley on Oprah someday… then her SHINE PROJECT will go GLOBAL!
