Stay In Place Or Slip? Bolder Band Review And Giveaway

Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

When I'm shopping for a headband, the first thing that I usually want to know is - Will the headband stay in place or is it going to slip off of my head? Then I want to know if it's actually going to help with keeping the sweat out of my eyes.

Let me introduce you to the Bolder Band.



My first thought was "wow, this is really a cute headband." But what I really wanted to know was is it going to stay put. And about a mile into the run, it slipped. But, if you notice the placement of the band, you will see that I'm not really wearing it where I should be. I had it too far back on my head. I should have checked out their video on the best way to wear the bolder band. 

Once I moved it down during the run, it did not slip, it stayed put, and it felt great. I also have a small head, and there is one size smaller than the one that I am wearing. 

I wore it for a 12 mile run, and of course I was drenched with sweat. But the Bolder Band did a great job of keeping the sweat out of my eyes. And another thing that I liked was that by the time I got home from my run, the Bolder Band was almost completely dry. Say what?!? With some of my other headbands that I wear, they seem to hold the sweat for quite some time, and it takes them awhile to dry. With the Bolder Band, it was actually dry, and honestly I could have worn it around town to help hold my hair back. 

I'm not exactly the fashionista, but I would wear Bolder Bands other than just for exercise. They are versatile, and they work.


But don't take my word for it. I'd like to give away one Bolder Band so that you can try it too.

  1. I have always wanted to try one of these bolder bands. I have the hardest time getting other bands to stay put... maybe I'll give one of these a try.

  3. I'd love to try this headband. If it's too hot I'm inside on my elliptical sweating into my eyes. If I'm outside on the trails in Northern VA (W&OD is really good) I'm sweating in my face and can't ever find a headband that works and wicks away sweat.

  5. I'd love to try these! I can't seem to find a headband that fits... they either slide/pop off in about 2.5 seconds, or give me such a headache that I take them off myself! I'm just now trying to get into jogging, and would love this as motivation!

Pinrose Petal Pack Review and Giveaway - 10 Winners!

Bear with me, I know this blog is mainly about fitness, nutrition, and occasionally about being a stay-at-home mom, but I got the chance to review what I think is a pretty cool product and I wanted to share it with you. I'm not one to usually wear perfume. I have allergies, and I'm super sensitive to smells. So usually I just bypass perfume. But when I heard about Pinrose , I was intrigued. Being someone who is constantly in motion, and I know that many of you are the same way, I found this product to be very useful.  I'm talking about Pinrose, and their fragrances are in petal packs. They are perfect on-the-go packs. And on their website they have a  synesthesia   test where you basically look at a series of images and they conclude from that test what they think would be your best fragrances. I found the test very interesting. However, you were supposed to go with your gut and not think too long. On one of the images I actually changed my mind and changed...

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Jogging Strollers Freedom And Fresh Air

Full Disclosure: I have partnered with Thule to #giveaway a Thule jogging stroller, but I have not been compensated in any form.  I remember when Lil Man was a baby. My only time to get in a workout was before Hubby went to work. Which meant I had to run at 5am or 6am after being up most of the night with Lil Man. You guessed it, those early morning runs just didn't happen most days. I tried. I really did, but I was exhausted. Yes, I have a treadmill which helped. But it didn't give me the freedom ( or the fresh air ) that my jogging stroller did. Pushing the stroller was hard. It became a challenge that I looked forward to overcoming. And on those days that running just wasn't going to happen, walking could. So I did. I could take Lil Man out at any time and get some exercise and fresh air. Sometimes it was all we needed to change both of our moods.
