Sparkly Soul Headbands – A Review and Giveaway

Despite the freezing cold weather we’re experiencing here in VA the weekend is off to a great start!

As I mentioned on facebook, Isaac and I toured a wedding/reception venue this morning that we absolutely fell in love with. We’ve toured three other places and while they all had some great aspects, none of them seemed “perfect”. Today’s venue was not only beautiful, the lady who worked with us was so welcoming and friendly and by the time we were leaving both Isaac and I had the same feeling – we REALLY liked the place. We didn’t sign the contract today because we have at least one more place to check out, but I have a gut feeling this will be the place we get married. So exciting! I’ll be sure to share more details about it soon.

We also checked out the SlowFoodRVA TEDxManhattan – Change the Way We Eat viewing party at Gallery5 today. I love TED talks and this whole event was focused on something I’m truly passionate about so I was excited to check it out. My favorite part was the TED talk from Jamie Oliver about the obesity epidemic affecting our nation and what we can do about it. He emphasized that teaching our kids about where food comes from and how to cook nutritious meals is essential and needs to be done in schools. It was very inspiring and makes me want to get out and do something to help make a change. I’ve already got some ideas floating around in my head!

Changing topics to something a little lighter, do you like sparkly things? If so, you must check out Sparkly Soul headbands.

As part of the FitFluential Ambassador program I was sent two of the Sparkly Soul non-slip headbands to review. I hate having my bangs in my face while I’m working out but I typically don’t wear headbands because they never stay in place for me. I won’t lie, I was actually skeptical that these ones from Sparkly Soul wouldn’t stay in place but they’ve proved me wrong! Check out the video below for my review:

The best part… Sparkly Soul has offered to give away two headbands, one thin and one thick (in the color of your choice) to one lucky EBF reader!
