Hey Loves,

 

I'm Alysha Renee', Creator of Waisted Hippie. I am a lover of all things natural and have spent the last few years on a journey of getting back to my roots. A few years ago, I had gained weight to the point I no longer felt comfortable in my own skin. As we all know the number on the scale many times means nothing. I needed something that would visually show me losing weight and that's how I found out about waistbeads. Now granted I originally used them for weight loss, but I realized they were for so much more. I found confidence, body positivity, and healing. There's something so exhilarating about feeling your waistbeads move along your hips while walking or even seeing them drop as you reach your fitness goals.

Society tells us that women should look a certain way. I love that with waistbeads there is no limitations on size. I fell in love with stretch marks that I had once hated. The confidence that was born combined with the history that comes with waistbeads was something I had to share. I wanted other women to embrace their bodies, sexuality, and spirituality as I was able to. I wanted others to understand that you don't have to fit "in the box" and that's how Waisted Hippie was born. I now sell custom waistbeads, bracelets, apparel and crystals for all your confidence-building, weight loss and spiritual needs.
