So sorry if this is boring, but I got some new bracelets so hey , that should cheer you up :). NOTE: * steps mean to do them on all types of Alex and Ani bangles. Also, all of my bracelets are shown here. I would really appreciate it if you told me your favorite one! ;)

Step 1: Caring for Beaded Bangles

Here's how to care for beaded Alex and Ani bracelets. *1.) always store your bracelets on something round while you aren't wearing them. This will help them keep a circular shape. 2.) make sure that when you clean your bracelets, you take a soft toothbrush and gently scrub in between the beads to release dust and dirt particles. *3.) always take your bracelets off before showering, swimming, using abrasive cleaners, and applying beauty products. *4.) never store bangles when wet. *5.) clean bangles regularly to keep your bracelets looking their best.
