Find your mantra. That’s the mission of Aysel Gunar, author, entrepreneur, and founder of successful jewelry brand MantraBand.
Inspired by her first child who was two years old at the time, Gunar started MantraBand in 2012 to remind herself to be more present and to live in the moment as her son did. With uplifting and empowering mantras like “Live in the Moment”, “One Day at a Time”, and “Enjoy the Journey” stamped on chic and timeless bracelets, necklaces, and rings, this collection of jewelry is meant to promote a lifestyle of optimism, positivity, and mindfulness.
Since then, the company has grown to include over 150 messages meant to encourage and empower every day. “Our pieces serve as gentle reminders of what’s important to the wearer. If you find yourself falling into negative thinking patterns, looking at a MantraBand with the message ‘Choose Joy’ can remind you that, often, choosing how you feel is in your hands. Or, when you want to make an effort to be more present in your life, a reminder that says ‘Live In The Moment’ or ‘Be Here Now’ can help bring you back to the present moment,” says Gunar.
Born and raised in Azerbaijan, Gunar speaks four languages and understands the power of words to empower, encourage, and enhance life. MantraBand bracelets are sold in more than 2,000 stores internationally and nationwide. The brand has been featured on Good Morning America, Woman’s World, Elle, Allure, PopSugar, and many more!
Not only does MantraBand fill you with good vibes, the company gives back in a major way. As a member of 1% For The Planet, the company donates at least 1% of annual sales to non-profit organizations that work to protect, preserve, and restore the natural environment. The company’s CharityBands® line of bracelets supports charities that create a positive impact on women’s and children’s issues like Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, Alzheimer’s Association, The Breast Cancer Research Fund, The American Heart Association, and more.
MantraBand is in San Clemente, CA. They can be found at www.mantraband.com and are also sold on Amazon as well as select stores.
