Count Me Healthy bracelets are not only pieces of jewelry, but also monitors for different health goals, keeping track of things like number of glasses of water drank per day. Designer Chelsea Charles created the multipurpose accessories, initially to track personal fruit and vegetable consumption.
She wanted to make sure she stayed healthy and fit and the simple beaded reminder on her wrist helped with that. Soon celebrities and television personalities were excited about the craze and began wearing her pieces, including Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Fergie and Giuliana Rancic. The Color Me Healthy line now boasts more than 16 different styles and colors like silver, gold and rose gold.
The beaded bangles can be mixed and matched and the 12 beads on each serve as reminders for different health needs, like eating veggies or getting those daily doses of water. Through the day, the beads can be slid from one side to the other, almost like making a check mark off of a list of things to do. Made with a unique, patented “jump ring†form, the beads will not move without being touched specifically by you for that purpose once pushed to the other side.
