STF Bracelets in Atlanta with Asha Patel & lululemon athletica

me with Asha

When I heard about the She’s the First fundraiser at lululemon in Atlanta, I thought, ‘Yoga, jewelry, and it is all for a great cause…How could there be a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon?’  I headed over to the historic Marietta Square in my athletic gear with my camera by my side, ready for a fun time.  This event and everyone involved were all amazing! All of the staff at lululemon were excited to be helping out She’s the First which was so exciting.

I got to meet Asha Patel, one of the organizers of the event and she had her beautiful magenta and teal ‘She’s the First’ bracelets with her, along with some other pieces from Asha Patel Designs.  Being a jewelry lover, of course I had to pick up one of the bracelets.  I am so lucky to have met Asha, she is an amazing person doing work worldwide for those in need.  I was excited to find that we have many interests in common; our love of helping others, making jewelry, and travelling to name a few.

The highlight of my day was doing yoga with Asha and the lovely ladies of lululemon. Asha spoke movingly about She’s the First at the beginning of our yoga session and our instructor Isabelle Casey ended our session on the same note.  There was a great turn out at lululemon, we almost overflowed the room where we did our yoga!  I had such a wonderful time meeting everyone and spreading word about She’s the First. I wish every Saturday could be like this one.

If you missed the Marietta event and you would like to have your very own Asha Patel signature  ‘She’s the First’ bracelet, don’t worry! You can find them on her website ashapateldesigns.com.  For every bracelet, 20% goes to She’s the First…now that’s what I call fashionable philanthropy.

Thank you so much to the organizers and all who attended; especially Asha, lululemon, Isabelle, and my dear friend Maisy, a She’s the First Researcher who told me about this event!

the signature card of Lululemon - their inspiring mantras resonate with us!

She’s the First supporters in Atlanta, there’s an upcoming fundraiser, organized by Asha Patel Designs & Lululemon, that has your name written all over it!

On Saturday, Feb.5, visit the Marietta, Georgia Lululemon store, 12pm-2pm, to can learn about She’s the First, enjoy a free yoga class, and meet designer Asha Patel, who made the signature She’s the First bracelets (available for purchase), which donate 20% back to girls’ sponsorships.

Isabelle Casey, manager of the Marietta store, encourages supporters saying, “Giving back to the community is the best gift one can give of self less service. We are all tied together in every way. Everything that we do affects our planet and all beings. If we live with the intention that we are here for each other, we create huge positive everlasting change.”

Asha, who lives near Atlanta, GA, flew to NYC and spoke at our She's the First Soiree on Nov. 1st.

If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by and show your support. If you’re not, you can still order your magenta and teal She’s the First bracelets at ashapateldesigns.com to show your identity as a “first” and give  back in style.

RSVP to marietta-showroom@lululemon.com, because space for the yoga class is limited. If you go, tweet us how it was, or leave a note on our Facebook Wall!
