Vi Bella...A Beautiful Life

This May I am embarking on an adventure that I never thought I would ever take. 

I have become a jewelry consultant that sells jewelry at parties. But I didn't just want to sell jewelry; I wanted to sell jewelry with a purpose. This is why I have joined the consultants for Vi Bella Jewelry. 

Vi Bella Jewelry is a business started by a woman in Sioux Center, Iowa, where I went to college. This woman traveled to Haiti soon after the earthquakes in Haiti in 2010. She saw how the women there were earning a living by selling their bodies, and she wanted to provide a better way of life for them. Thus Vi Bella was born, which employs women in Haiti, and now in Mexico, to make jewelry out of recycled goods. They combine recycled beads with purchased beads to create a one-of-a-kind jewelry line. 

My senior year of college, I had the chance to visit their warehouse in Sioux Center. The jewelry was beautiful, but what struck me the most was seeing the actual faces of the women that now have a stable income in Haiti. They're are very lovely women, and you can see it in their smiles. They love their jobs at Vi Bella and have the opportunity to join Bible studies while at work. The mission and goals of Vi Bella were just to awesome to pass up. 

I encourage you to take a look at their video posted here and to pray for these women. Vi Bella also takes donations at any time, and they also are available for fund-raising events. Contact me if you are interested.

Please take a look at their website, and if you want to order anything, please CONTACT ME. The leaders at Vi Bella encourage customers to buy from consultants because we don't earn any commission for online sales. With the money I earn from Vi Bella, I will help Josh and I save for a house, and I also hope to eventually pay for my own trip to Haiti to visit these women. The most important and best thing about being a part of Vi Bella is being able to help these women. I don't know them personally, but God does. They are his daughters, just like I am. I LOVE being a part of a company of Women Helping Women! Soli Deo Gloria!
