I’ll be back in a bit for your regularly scheduled blogging but right now it’s time to announce the kickoff of Healthy Holidays Giveaway Week!
Several weeks ago, I reached out to some of my favorite companies with a fun and festive idea.
An entire week of fitness-related holiday giveaways!
The giveaways start today and will last through Sunday. Every day I will be featuring a different holiday giveaway on the blog. Stay tuned for giveaways that include new gym shoes, fitness apparel, race entries and more!
Big thanks to all of the companies who agreed to give away some of my all-time favorite products for this week of fitness-inspired fun.
Let’s get things started with an awesome giveaway from BIC Bands!
BIC Bands Giveaway
To say that I am in love with BIC Bands would be an understatement. I wear BIC Bands every single day of the week. They’re the best workout headbands I’ve ever tried because they actually stay in place through long runs, circuit workouts… even burpees! Woop!
My favorite BIC Bands are the sparkly ones, but I am also a sucker for the fun patterns and holiday prints. So cute!
Another thing I love? The story behind the headbands.
They began as a fundraiser to help Sandy raise money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through Team in Training as she trained for her first half marathon. Because they were such a hit, Sandy decided to keep selling the bands, and keep giving back to those in need! Each month, a portion of the sales of BIC Bands is donated to a different charity.
B.I.C. Bands = Because I Can Bands
We raise funds because we can…for those who can’t so that one day they will.”
One PBF reader will win a $25 gift certificate to use on the BICBands website so they can pick out the BIC Bands they love the most!
To enter this giveaway, simply comment below telling me which BIC Band you’d select if you won.
I will randomly select a winner tomorrow afternoon.
Ginnie says
I the last 8 months, I’ve gotten engaged, married, sold a house, bought a house–I haven’t had a free moment to get a haircut and my bangs are flopping in my face. A red sparkly headband would be so much more attractive than my clip barrette!
Alexis says
I would love to be able to win so I could get the thick Rainbow Tied Together! It’s so cute and unique, I’ve never seen a headband like it and if it actually stays, it’d be perfect!
Jordyn says

This is great! I incorporated your superfast 15 minute circuit into my workout this morning. When I finished and looked in the mirror, I laughed at all of my fly-aways sticking to my face. I would pick the think aqua sparkle bic to add some sass to my workout.

I would love to have a minnie black glitter one! I have super long hair and it would help so much to have one of those when I go running or just to have something to wear when I want to pull my hair back when I’m out and about. I love that they have all kinds of different styles and colors, but black can go with just about anything and I’m all about sparkley accessories! 🙂
