I don’t know about you but I have been finding the New Year to be a difficult one. I won’t go into politics, although you probably know where I stand if you follow me on IG. But, I have been looking for ways to stay motivated and positive the past week.

Introducing  Free Luma™, a company empowering individuals through custom daily message bracelets. Each day, the innovative bracelets deliver inspiring messages to your smart device tailored to your unique style, fostering a sense of connection, mindfulness, and motivation. I am finding the positive messages are helping me on a day to day basis!

Free Luma comes in adult and kid sizes and they have Christian lines along with mental wellness and positivity.

The founder, Gary Rakes, is a software engineer who was motivated by his own experiences with mental health and the desire to create a space where people could truly feel supported and connected. Transforming lives by RFID bracelets, Gary struggled with telling loved ones that he was gay.  He will always promote inclusiveness. 

How does Free Luma™ work?

• Scan your bracelet for a daily message to brighten your day – place your smartphone to the Free Luma™ logo each day for a new message.
• Free Luma™ are inspirational RFID bracelets. An RFID bracelet uses a ‘smart tag’ embedded in the wristband itself which stores and transmits information to an RFID reader.
• With just a tap, wearers access a range of uplifting content, including daily Bible verses, motivational quotes, chapters read aloud, meditations, and exclusive videos from the Free Luma team. Additionally, the platform allows users to create personal profiles, interact through likes and comments, and share their reflections with fellow members worldwide.

How they give back:

• Giving Back: With partnerships with charities worldwide, we’ve helped make a positive impact on numerous causes.
• Eco-friendly Packaging: We ship all our products in eco-friendly, recyclable packaging and provide an option for plastic-free shipping.
• Support Local Artisans: We collaborate with local artisans to craft handmade products, ensuring sustainable and fair employment opportunities.
