I AM SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT I AM HOSTING MY VERY FIRST GIVEAWAY ON THE BLOG!
So, clearly, all caps lock was necessary, because I am smiling from ear to ear while typing this! When I first started my blog a little less than a year ago, I NEVER imagined I would one day be able to host a giveaway, let alone have enough readers that followed my blog to give something away to! I am so incredibly thankful, blessed, and grateful for all of you readers and can't wait to share this product with one of you lucky ones!

Now, enough of my excitement, let's get to the goodies!
Through Sweat Pink, I was chosen to review Bondi Band.
Bondi Band is "composed of a unique blend of nylon, lycra, and spandex. The result is a stretchy yet form fitting band that holds up under the toughest hair styles and types for women AND men." And they have about 84985349 different varieties, thank goodness I was just sent two and couldn't choose two, because I wouldn't have been able to decide, they're all so cute!
With my review, I get to GIVEAWAY one of these awesome headbands! AND I have a coupon code to use below!
Generally, I NEVER wear headbands. Why? I've got a HUGE head and most head bands don't fit my big dome. Especially when working out, they don't stay in place through all of my jumping around and explosive movements. Instead, they squeeze my big head until they slip off halfway through my squat jumps and are more of a distraction than anything. Instead, I look like a wild woman most times at the gym because, even at the age of twenty three, I've still got baby hairs that create a halo around my head as soon as I get sweaty. Speaking of sweat, I tend to drip. Yep, I'm that girl that gets the mat and machines all wet, but no worries, I always wipe off :)
So, I was ready to "feel the difference" of a Bondi Band in hopes to find a headband that could tame my baby hairs and soak up some of the excessive sweat I create during a workout.
Unfortunately, I am still injured. My calf strain was a lot more serious than I had anticipated, and now rest is the best medicine, in addition to physical therapy, that I can do to heal myself. That being said, I couldn't put Bondi Band to the true test of an ALL OUT Amber Workout, let alone a workout in general, BUT I am more than confident that Bondi Band would be able to hold back my hair and soack up my sweat no matter what.
How can I be so confident in a product I didn't really put to the test? Because Bondi Band wasn't kidding when they said "feel the difference." From the minute I slipped the headband on, I could feel the difference. My head was not being suffocated by the headband, but rather felt a comfortable tightness. I did some "head banging" to test out the no slip claim, and it withstood the test. I even wore it to the gym to complete my strength training routine from my physical therapist, I didn't have to adjust it once the entire time I was there working on my calf and shoulder! Now THAT'S quality!

Can't see it, but I'm smiling sporting my Bondi Band! Since I am not a runner, I decided to keep the "Because I can" Bondi Band and GIVEAWAY the "Have a Magical Run" one.
The headband when worn at full thickness, feels/looks most similar to rocking a bandana, since it covers a good portion of your head. Except bandanas never stay in place, the Bondi Band will!
I LOVE the fact that I can wear it over my ears, this will help keep me warm in the winter when I decide to be crazy and run outside and keep my earbuds in while wicking away my sweat in the warmer weather! I love multi-purpose items!
Speaking of multi-purpose, it can also be scrunched up, or folded in half, depending on your thickness preference. I'm a visual person, so I decided to include photos below, of the other ways you can wear your Bondi Band!

 Folded in half - second favorite way I'll wear it! |  Happily wearing my Bondi Band before working on my calf with physical therapy exercises! |  Tucked behind the ear, bandana style! |
I am advocate of self-love, so the above photos have not been edited or re-touched, they were taken with my iPhone 5S. No makeup and natural hair, how I typically look on a daily basis. You can see a few blemishes, my overwhelming amount of baby hair, and the laugh lines I have so proudly earned from 23 years of giggles around my eyes in the photo on the right and around my mouth. Embrace yourself, whole-heartedly, the things you perceive as "flaws" are what makes YOU unique, I wouldn't be me without my wide-eyed smile:) Now, BACK TO Bondi Band, just had to squeeze in a little self-love promotion while the opportunity presented itself.
