Bondi Band Review & Giveaway

Alright everyone, get ready for something really exciting! I am finally doing my first ever giveaway, and I couldn't be more thrilled that it's for an accessory I seriously love.

My Ragnar Bondi Band!

Bondi Bands are slip-free headbands that keep your hair in place and keep sweat from getting in your eyes. I first tried Bondi Bands when I was running Ragnar, and I've been sold ever since. 

For one thing, I have a freakishly small head, so the fact that these headbands stay put without the help of any bobby pins is pretty amazing. For another, Bondi Bands run at about $10 a pop, which is really fairly priced, especially when you look at how expensive similar products can be.

I like that I can pull Bondi Bands over my ears if it's cold out. That's one multi-tasking headband, people!

Pros:

• One size fits all...for real. No need for bobby pins to tame those extra flyaways.
• Comfortable to wear.
•  Non-slip, won't pull hair or pinch your scalp.
• Inexpensive but not cheap.
• They come in a variety of colors and styles.

Cons:

• Certain styles of the bands can run a little wide. I fix this by folding the top and bottom under; no big deal! 

I folded the top and bottom under here, and was good to go!

So what do I have to give away? I have two Bondi Bands for one lucky winner! You can choose two from any of the three pictured below!

"Mirror Mirror", "Neon Pink", and "Marathon Girl"

This Week in Pictures

Ah, midterms. I seriously can't believe we're basically halfway through December...and halfway through the school year. I know you've all probably had enough of this, but I just can't wrap my head around it:

Double brag: temperature and MPG!

Actually, today was cooler again. I'd like to have the same kind of crisp, frosty run I had on Christmas last year, so hopefully it continues to cool down.

Earlier this week, I had a very sweaty run and my lifetime miles on Nike+ hit an interesting number. Talk about a great way to get back into training!

So drippy!

If only I had run one more mile...

Every year, Matt and I get a new ornament for our tree. This year, I cheated and got a special one just for myself:

This is my first official "only mine" ornament! I couldn't have picked a better one!

Archie was super excited when it came in the mail. Like the cat he thinks he is, he loves all things box-shaped and cardboard:

"Open up so I can be in you!"

Matt and I had Outback last night. I'm a tricky customer at Outback; a friend of mine who worked there in high school taught me how to order an actually healthy salad. You get the Caesar, but ask for the Tangy Tomato dressing. (I get mine sans croutons and with shrimp.)

Yum!

Outback always has the best coasters. Is that a weird thing to notice?

On a less upbeat note, Archie's been feeling sick today. Birds have evolved to hide illness, so when they're actually showing it, it's pretty serious. He's been sleepy, too weak to fly, hasn't been eating, and is throwing up. We're keeping him warm and set up a "hospital cage" for him.

Very few vets take care of birds, and the avian vets in our area are busy; we're hoping to get him checked out tomorrow. (We spent hours calling around tonight.)

Keeping warm on the heating pad.

Sleeping in his hospital cage.

I know it seems silly because he's not a traditional pet, but he's our little guy. We're as close to him as I've ever been to my dogs. Seeing him sick is terrible.

Are you a picky orderer at restaurants?
When is the last time you got a new ornament for your tree?
It's almost Friday! Any fun weekend plans?
