DIY Mala Party

 When life is crazy, hectic and fast-paced, a girls night can help you to recharge your battery. You work, you party, have a glass of wine, vacation with your family or friends and even take personal days, but sometimes you need a bit more a moment, or a place to reconnect with yourself and find healing. That's what mala parties can provide. 

We partnered with J Sorelle to create a mala party ideas that encourage friendship, relaxation with vibrant color.

What are Mala Beads?

Created in India over 3000 years ago, they are traditionally a string of beads that are used for prayer or meditation and also as a reminder of our intentions. They can be made into bracelets or necklaces and are usually made with 108 beads that come in a variety of color and gemstones. 

Good Vibes

The goal of a Mala Party to make a space safe, that is bright and full of love and light. It should be a good vibes only zone. Plus, It's super easy to host your own Mala Party, here's how:

1. Pick a venue:

Where will you be hosting your party? Will it be in your home, at a park, in a community center? Where you host the party will dictate what types of decor you can use.

2. Get your supplies:

Gather supplies that will make your guest feel comfortable and that will set the mood as mentioned above. Make a list of supplies to ensure you don't miss anything. Don't forget the beads!

3. Set the mood:

Streamers, lanterns, tables and chairs, refreshments, and even cultural and religious items all add a positive vibe to your space for a relaxed and inviting environment.

Call, text, email, or send an invitation to your favorite women in the world and invite them to enjoy good vibes.
