Hibiscus Kiss Waistbeads

Once upon a time, summer meant MSN statuses, body glitter and making major life decisions based on a song lyric.

Now you get excited when an appointment is cancelled.

Growth.

Hibiscus Kiss is for the woman who does not want to be twenty-two again, but would occasionally like to borrow her for the evening.

The version who danced without checking the time.
Bought something simply because it was pretty.
And could leave the house without consulting three calendars and a weather app.

Was she responsible?

Absolutely not.

Did she have excellent stories?

Unfortunately, yes.

These traditional West African tie on waistbeads are knotted around your waist or hips and remain there continuously. No clasp. No elastic.

They stay beneath your normal clothes while you live your very organised adult life.

But every now and then, you will feel them against your skin and remember the woman who existed before life became passwords, appointments and asking the group chat to choose a date six weeks in advance.

She did not disappear.

She simply became responsible and developed trust issues. 

Hibiscus Kiss is a little hello from her.

Not an invitation to recreate every questionable decision.

Just the fun ones.

Part of the limited Summer of Self-Care Collection.

Choose your length. Your younger self has been waiting, and apparently she still has excellent taste.
