This bracelet is made with a bead mix that I call "manawa" which means "all power comes from within". I like this bead mix because it reminds me that I am in control of my own life. This bracelet has the words YOU CAN to remind you that you can truly do anything that you put your mind to. You just have to be dedicated and keep trying because YOU CAN. I hope this bracelet reminds you that you are such a powerful woman and that you can truly do anything you want. All pre-made shopabbylynn bracelets are made with high-quality clear stretch bracelet string. I do not recommend stretching these bracelets with the intention of seeing how far they can stretch, you should always be careful with your jewelry.
