     Since school is back up and running, trends are now starting to appear on wrists, in hair and ankles. Some very popular jewelry items at OFHS are Pura Vida bracelets and scrunchies. Pura Vida bracelets are made of wax-coated strings, beads, and metal trimmings for different designs. The metal trimmings can be gold, silver, platinum, copper, or any other metal material that can adorn the bracelet.

       What do students like the most about Pura Vida bracelets? Courtney Sipos, 9^th grade, said, “I love how there are so many styles to choose from. The colors are very unique, and they make an outfit that much better.” Scrunchies are another trend that has made its way back. Scrunchies were invented to give people a fun way to style their hair, but also prevent damage like a hair tie would. What makes a scrunchie different than a hair tie? Kyler St. Cyr, 10^th grade, said, “It gives your hairstyle character and it also makes a cute accessory to wear on your wrist.”
