One of the best things about being a blogger is collaborating with brands. Nowadays on social media, you see a lot of people post pictures with products to raise brand awareness, but unfortunately, sometimes the influencers don’t actually believe or use the products themselves. As for me and I am speaking for myself only, I selectively choose with brands I want to work with because I believe in being transparent with my followers about what products I actually like and use.
I decided to collaborate with Same Sky because they are an amazing company that is dedicated to empowering women and I think there’s nothing more beautiful than having a philanthropic aspect, initiative and mission linked to a company. The company’s mission can be summarized by their quote below:
“We are a trade initiative, and we work to create employment opportunities for women struggling to lift themselves out of extreme poverty. The true value of a Same Sky bracelet is empowerment. It is a ribbon that ties you to courageous women a world away—a beautiful piece of jewelry made more beautiful by the connection it symbolizes and how it makes you feel.”
As you can see, there is meaning behind the bracelets. Not only is it a beautiful piece of handcrafted jewelry, but the proceeds are reinvested to train and employ more artisans in need. I was delighted to receive my gold jewelry for several reasons. For one, it matches my style! I love gold and I love simple, classic pieces. It’s also delicate, and I can tell that it was made with careful attention and love. I can’t help, but get the feeling of appreciation and want to treasure it.
Overall, I think it’s important to support organizations that do good deeds and I know some people don’t think about philanthropy when purchasing jewelry, but I encourage you to check out SAME SKY. If you so happen to like the products and their cause, then great! If not, it wouldn’t hurt to spread the word because I think we can all raise awareness to this amazing brand simply by sharing their mission and website.
