GO support Londen at Thebraceletessentials.com
Londen is an 11 year old entreprenuer who is very kind hearted and happy. She started collecting bracelets and was wearing them as an essential part of her daily outfit. She then took a liking to not only the bracelets, but also fancy sneakers that her mom wasn't interested in making the investment for.
