Hi,
I am a 54 yr old single mom/nana who has survived domestic violence, and every day I have to prove myself in the work place to make a living for my family. The story behind the Pura Vida is what captured my heart and I finally purchased not 1, but 8pieces and I loved them. My Instagram is @teddybearhugs4
