The Perfect Headband

Hello lovers! Happy Friday! – and the Friday of Memorial Day weekend at that!

What are your plans for the long weekend? Are you doing anything fun? Please share so I can live vicariously through you!

I am planning on lying low – I am still beat from Blend, apparently I don’t recover from all-nighters as quickly as I use to – and doing a lot of healthy eating and running and yoga-ing.

I’ll be back with my final Blend post later this weekend – I can’t wait to thank all of the amazing Blend sponsors by showin’ off my swag and to tell you a little more about what I ate over the weekend – as a little preview, I had a lot of protein and wine and beer and vodka ;)

Okay, since this is Friday and my 2nd favorite day of the week, I have a little treat for you!

My friend Danielle, who blogs over at Truffles ‘n’ Treadmills (remember the guest post she did for me while I was off drinkin’ Mint Juleps at the Kentucky Derby??) has started making no-slip headbands!

I can never have enough headbands so when she announced her new business, I ordered one right away! I chose the Sunshine Yellow chevron design and I absolutely LOVE IT!!

Sadly, I don’t have any photos of myself wearing it. I wore it on the way home from SLC last weekend but I looked like shiz never look my best when traveling so I decided to spare you the pain of my travel photos and just use Danielle’s.

Anyways, Danielle’s headbands seriously DO NOT SLIP. Mine stayed in place the entire time I was in the airport and on the plane AND lugging my 5 tons of swag home from the airport via train and a treacherous, rainy walk. Nothing short of a miracle I tell ya.

Plus, who doesn’t love headbands, especially if they’re as cute and fashionable and functional as Danielle’s?

She’s offering an awesome deal now through the end of May – $2 off a headband! – so head on over and check out her super cute headbands!

Seriously now, what are you plans for the weekend??!

BLEND Recap – Part 3 – Sunday!

Sunday was sad. Us “blenders” were exhausted (at least those of us who stayed up past our normal bedtimes…) and we knew we had to go back home, to our real lives but none of us wanted to. Not at all. If you haven’t caught up on my weekend at Blend in Park City, Utah [...]

BLEND Recap – Part 2 – Saturday!

blend

I apologize for the delay in this post – I typically like to have my posts up bright and early in the morning but Blend seriously took it out of me! Last night I came home from work, slept for 2 hours, woke up for dinner and then went straight back to bed. I was [...]

BLEND 2013. It was honestly one of the best, funnest, most fantastic, sleepless and inappropriate weekends of my entire life and I loved every single second of it! I have no idea of where or how to even begin recapping the weekend. I have so many things to tell all of you! From our awesome sponsors [...]

On Thursday evening, my friend Jen and I headed to Gust-O Blow Dry Bar for a fun girls’ night full of happy hour-ing and hair blow outs! We started out our afternoon at Urban Eatery located in Uptown – a fun, hip part of Minneapolis next to Lake Calhoun. To be honest, we were both [...]

Ugly Runner Syndrome

Becky 3

I have recently discovered something about myself and it ain’t pretty. Nope, it’s not pretty at all. It’s actually quite ugly. I like to call it the Ugly Runner Syndrome. Do you know what I’m talking about? A scrunched up face. A gaping mouth, taking in oxygen as if it were about to be submerged [...]

“Clean” Kitchen Tips

Clean Forks

I’m a little late to the Earth Month bandwagon. Yes, I know Earth Month is April and it is now May. In my Earth- and environment-lovin’ opinion, Earth Month should be every month so just go along with me here, okay? (Image Source) I’m all about “clean” cleaning – I hate using chemicals on the [...]
