BangBands by Linny Review

I have very messy hair - it's curly and it has a mind of its own which is very annoying when exercising or running.  I am always looking for a good solution. I've tried many different hair clips, ties, bands, hats - you name it, I've tried it.  

Luckily I found BangBands by Linny on Facebook.  Her bands looked promising, so I then went to her Etsy store to check out the variety of bands.  She has a wide variety of bands to choose from, and if you are a sports fan, you're in luck!!

I was surprised to find out that each and every BangBands is made by hand so you know that it will be well made.   I chose the St. Paddy's Day Clovers with reversable Polka Dots.  It's cute, but most of all, it stays put when I workout and it keeps my hair out of my face and eyes.

These bands are great!!  I love mine, and I know you will love one too.  Scroll to the bottom of this post to see an offer just for my readers.

BolderBand Headband Review & Giveaway

Disclosure:  I received a free BolderBand in exchange for an honest review, and another band to giveaway.  All thoughts and opinions are completely my own.

I have big, curly hair and it is almost impossible to control.  I don't like to always have it back in a pony tail, but I just couldn't find a head band that would stay in place - even the ones that claim to be non-slip.

BolderBand sent me a band to try and I figured that these bands would be just like all of the others that I have tried.  Boy, was I wrong!!  These bands DO stay in place and they are cute to boot!! :)  What more can you ask for?

The BolderBand I received to review

To ensure that the headbands stay put, there is a video on their website to show you how to wear them, and the headbands come in different sizes.  These bands fit and stay put.

I wear my BolderBand when I go for runs, when I lift weights, and even when I am out and about doing errands; they are versatile and stylish.

BolderBand was generous enough to send me a headband for me to try out and a second band for me to giveaway to one of my readers.  Now who would like a BolderBand of their own?

You can win this BolderBand!!

To win the cute purple BolderBand pictured above, all you have to do get an entry into the draw is go to BolderBand's website (here) and leave a comment below as to which band is your favourite.
You have until July 11th to enter, and a winner will be randomly selected on July 12th. 

Good Luck!  :)

I'm a Strong Figure Ambassador & I Love My Flipbelt

I'm a Strong Figure Ambassador!!

I am sooooo excited!!  I applied to become a Strong Figure Ambassador, and just got word this morning that I have been accepted!  Yay!

On Strong Figure's website, they describe their ambassadors as: "Strong Figure’s Ambassador Program is made up of messengers and/or representatives of our brand. We want the BEST, FITTEST, STRONGEST, HEALTHIEST people we know to help support, promote, and be a part of STRONG FIGURE."

I am still working my way towards being fitter and stronger, my journey is no where near finished, but I hope that I can be an inspiration for others to take that step towards their own fitness goals.  Fitness is for EVERYONE!! 

I have been looking for a different way to carry my phone, keys, ID, etc when I run and especially when I do races.  My arm band is a bit annoying, so I have been looking for a waistbelt-type that is comfortable and not bulky (no old-time fanny packs - lol).

I came across the FlipBelt and thought it would solve my problems, so I ordered one.  

My new FlipBelt

They come in cute colours, and they have  neat little openings in it to fit your phone, keys, etc.  Once you have your items in the FlipBelt, you just flip the belt over so the openings are against your body and they are "locked"in.  It's really cool! The only problem I have is that if you don't want your items to come contact with moisture (ie sweat), you have to put them in a waterproof bag.  Other than that, it's great and it is so much easier to run with than my arm band that bounced all over the place.

Cool little hidden pockets for phone, keys, etc.

My iPhone fits so well
