Bonding with Bondi

August 26, 2010 by Julie 35 Comments

Check out what I got in the mail yesterday!

Bondi Band!

I was the lucky winner of a Bondi Band through a giveaway on Shelby’s blog and couldn’t wait to slip this bad boy on.

I wore it throughout the night last night, feeling a lot like Brett Michaels.

Totally Agree Brett, Every Rose Has Its Thorn...

Apparently I need to work on my hard-core rocker face. 😉

Two things crossed my mind as I wore my new Bondi Band to the gym this morning:

  1. Wow, that’s a lot of face
  2. I wish I had one of these when I was training for the Chicago Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon

This headband is no joke! I wore it to the gym this morning and it kept all of the hair out of my face without slipping off or feeling too tight and uncomfortable.

It made it through 30 minutes on the elliptical and a power yoga class with ease. Thank you, Shelby!

Breakfast

Breakfast was a tribute to my love of cold oatmeal!

Oats

I made a yogurt bowl using a cup of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of cold oatmeal, a sliced peach and several dashes of pumpkin pie spice.

Oats + Yog + Peaches + Pumpkin Pie Spice

Fruity Oatty Yogurt Bowl

The combination was super tasty thanks to the cold oats.  They added a touch of whole grain goodness to the bowl.

Cold Oatmeal is GOOD

YUM.

Aaand it’s back to the grind. Work, work, work. 😀

    If I had longer hair, I’d definitely want a bondi band.

    That bondi band would be perfect for running. I’m always looking for better ways to keep hair out of my face!

    I need one of those bands! I feel like I have such an odd shaped head because regular head bands always pop off when I exercise…

    you’re rockin’ that headband though! Bret Michaels has nothing on you 🙂

    I’ve never seen that bondi band, but I could benefit since headbands of all sorts always slip right off my head (perhaps I have an odd shaped head???)

    I love using Bondi bands. I have a lot of little fly-away hairs near my face which can get really annoying when I workout. Bondi bands are awesome.

    I’ve been in need of a new headband for the job, that one is super cute. I may have to look into getting one for myself.

    I have never tried a band like that before! I have tried regular headbands, but they always slide off the back of my head. I pull my hair into a ponytail, but I’d love something like that to keep the rest of the small hairs off of my face as well.

    I just love how “unedited” the pictures of yourself always are! I am always so critical of myself in photos, you inspire me to possibly share more self-portraits with the world.

    Hi! I’m getting ready to order some Bondi Bands (i’ve wanted one for some time), but I have a question for someone who has worn one: Can I still pull my hair back in a ponytail while wearing the band? No, I’m not a fan of the ponytail hats, ha! Thanks!
