A woman’s body deserves to be wrapped in beauty. Waist beads are said to have originated in Africa among the Yoruba tribes, but the practice of wearing them can be seen within many cultures. Although most women wear them under wraps. some are displayed on bare midriffs. Initially they symbolized coming of age and fertility. Over the years they have been used to represent your intentions, your love of self, commitment to healing, mindfulness and accountability. A source of energy to remind you of your place in the universe. They have also been used to alert you of weight gain or loss by the way they fit your body, and a source of adornment for those who want to show off their beautiful midriff.
