Whenever I workout, I almost always wear a headband to keep my bangs back and out of my face. That being said, I also need to use a million (just an estimate) bobby pins to make sure it doesn’t slip out of place. Even my fancy and expensive lululemon headband requires pinning down.
So, when I made no-slip workout headbands that require no pins and actually stays in place by themselves, I was one happy and excited girl!
What’s even better is that they’re sparkly and they spruce up my workout attire when I’m at the gym or running. My face may look like it’s melting from all the sweat on it, but my hair looks damn good! Practical and cute, that’s a win in my book.
*I’ve gotten several requests for information on where to buy these. If you’re interested, email me at christineskari@gmail.com! Thanks!
The secret to the bands staying in place is lining the bottom with velveteen ribbon, which took me forever to find! I probably wasted enough gas going to various craft stores to buy a whole arsenal of sweatybands or bicbands, but where’s the fun in that ;)? There’s something so comforting about a sewing machine and trying to avoid sticking a needle in my fingers. Le sigh.
Anyways, I was thinking that is might be fun to give a few of these babies away in the future and spread the love! I’ve worn them for 3 days straight and can’t get over how well they stay in place. Poor Kyle, every 5 minutes when we were playing tennis yesterday I would exclaim something along the lines of, “KYLE!! IT’S STILL ON MY HEAD” or “KYLE!! HOW GOOD DO I LOOK?!”. That boy puts up with a lot.
Going along the lines of sewing, I feel so domesticated right now. Cooking, baking, and now sewing? I’m a regular Martha Stewart.
In other news, I got lunch from the hot bar at my local Whole Foods yesterday, and oh my yum, it was SO good! Their mac and cheese is ridiculously delicious and I had a chilled grilled peach that was amazing. I’m drooling just thinking about it. Mhmm. I also picked up a sweet potato, kabocha pumpkin, and some broccoli and beef for a new recipe I’m trying out. More on how that goes later!
Other than that, the rest of today will be spent working on some freelance work, getting sweaty at the gym, and cooking! Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!
Let me know if you guys would be interested in a small giveaway!
