BIC Bands Review

The Weekend

Pretty boring. Watched a million and one episodes of Giuliana and Bill yesterday. Saw some cool people. Solidified plans for New Years Eve, and I’M SO PUMPED. Love parties with these peeps. And I started packing for the move to California in January. That stopped about 30 minutes later after realizing there’s no point to start now because I need everything still…

Workout

Today’s a 9ish-miler. I’m thinking I’ll start building up my longer run a bit since the marathon is approaching. I’ll probably just do 9 today, though. Just—Ha. That’ll happen around 1 when it’s warmer out. The extra 3 degrees that the weather channel tells me it’ll be I deem worth the wait.

And now for something I’ve been loving these past few weeks.

BIC Bands for the Win

The wonderful people at BIC Bands sent me a few headbands to try out, and I must say I’ve been having quite the pleasant experience. I got the Thin Hip To Be Square headband and the Skinny Sparkle Black headband.

I don’t know about you people, but I have insane “wings,” as I call them. My hair is the curliest right on the sides of my face, and when I workout that shh gets cray. (It’s appropriate that they sent me the “Hip…” headband because I’m all up on the lingo these days).

In other words, I need some intense hair control. I usually opt for bobby pins and/or a headband, but headbands usually slide off several times during my runs, which is quite annoying. I’ve heard good things about BIC Bands, so I was really excited to give them a try!

I didn’t use anything but the band to keep my bangs and wings under control. My whole run it stayed in place, which pretty much NEVER happens with stretchy headbands. I’m definitely a fan now and highly recommend them. They’d make a great fitness gift or just gift in general for Christmas!

The underside is a felt material, which helps it stay in place. I think it also helps that the entire thing isn’t stretchy, just a section at the bottom. So, I’d say the combo of felt, the perfect amount of stretch, and magic is what keeps these babies in place.

Now I just need 5 more so I can have one for every day of the week. The only downside I can see to these headbands is they run a little more pricewise, ranging from $12-$15. Then again, if I would have bought a BIC Band instead of buying all the, more or less, defective headbands over the years, I probably would have saved money. They’re definitely worth every penny.

PLUS, according to the FAQ page, the B.I.C. Bands brand revolves around giving back and stands for “Because I Can.” Every month the company donates money from each band sale to a different charity, helping those that “Can’t.” Spending a few extra bucks on a foolproof headband while helping those in need? Ya, I’d say that’s money well spent.

So, now that you’ve been educated on the amazing world of BIC Bands, you should check out their website. There are some really cute options. I know I have my eyes set on the Thick Peacock option.

Now that you’re probably sick of my face, I will bid you adieu. Farewell, friends! Tomorrow I’ll be sharing a new favorite recipe with you so make sure to check back. Have a marvelous and not-so-manic Monday!
