Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

It's winner time! :)  But, before I get to that, I just want to say that I had a fabulous birthday.  Thanks to all of you for your super kind comments about how great I look at my age.  I celebrated the 11th anniversary of my 21st birthday with a quiet weekend... just the way I like it.  Tom and I went to the outlet malls on Saturday and then yesterday, had a great lunch with my mom, dad, sister and brother-in-law at Jason's Deli (have you people tried this place yet?  Holy yum!  And... free soft serve.  Love it!).  Then Tom and I came home and went for a slow, but enjoyable 10 mile run before being total bums the rest of the night, gorging ourselves on homemade beef and noodles and then enjoying warm brownies topped with walnuts and marshmallows. Yum!  It was perfect.  Although, I will say, getting old is tough.  I work up this morning feeling like I had been hit by a freight train.  I used to say that after a long night of drinking.  Now it's just because I'm old. :)

Okay, back to the good stuff.  So I ended up getting 113 comments from the contest for the Sparkly Soul headband giveaway.  Most of you pick four or five colors as your favorite (I'm telling you, you can't go wrong).  I would say the glaring majority of you thought that Tom was the highlight of the post.  I let him know which affirms what I thought - he doesn't read my blog.  I think he was a little mortified that his picture with a pink sparkly headband is making it's way around the internet.  Sorry buddy... that's what you get! :)  (muah... I love you Brady, you know that). 

So I used Random.org to pick the winner and the winner was comment #50 - CHRISTI at Pedestrian Runner! :)  Congrats Christi!  Shoot me an email and I will give you the information that you'll need to get your two headbands!!!

For those of you that didn't win (especially those boys who were hoping that I'd do your Valentine's Day shopping for you), Sparkly Soul is offering you a 15% discount through March 1st by simply using the code "FitFluential" on their website.  Trust me... you'll LOVE these headbands!!

Thanks for playing along everyone!

Sparkly Sparkle

How about that for a super girly title... one thing I'm totally not is girly.  Yes, I like pink, but that's the extent of my girly-ness.  I'd pick flats over heels and jeans over skirts any day.   But... there are some things every now and then that are totally girly that I love.

**GUYS... DON'T LEAVE JUST YET.  I HAVE A GIVEAWAY AT THE END OF THIS AND IF YOU ENTER AND WIN, YOU WILL HAVE A FREE VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT THAT YOUR WIFE-GIRLFRIEND-MOM-SISTER-WHOEVER WILL LOVE!  I'M LITERALLY DOING THE SHOPPING FOR YOU.  YOU ARE WELCOME!  :)**

Okay, thanks for continuing to read. :)

So my new obsession are the no slip headbands from Sparkly Soul.  When I got my hair cut back in August way too long ago, the stylist talked me into bangs.  They are totally in I guess (uh, yeah.  I have no fashion sense at all so I wouldn't know this).  I believed her and she chopped away, promising me that they wouldn't be so short that I couldn't put them back in the ponytail that I wear on a daily basis.

She lied.

So I find that I need to wear a headband when I do anything to keep said bangs from plopping themselves in my eyes.  Finding one that doesn't make my head feel like it's in a vice was my first problem.  The second came when I finally found some that wrapped around and they slipped.  Ugh

Sparkly Soul headbands are GREAT.  They come in a thick and thin width and have a velvet back so they don't move.  And I'm telling you, these bad boys stay in place.  I wear them... well all the time.  I have a pink one (because see, I do dabble in the girl stuff) and silver.  They are awesome.

 

 

 

Lola (the fabulous Jen's adorable daughter) would be so proud.  Check out this video when she reminds you all to stay pretty and fix your headband like her.

So you want to join the cool club and get a headband or two?  PERFECT
