Sparkly Soul Headband Giveaway

Earlier this week, I told you about my Apprentice-style competition at work and asked for your help by watching my team’s video. Thank you to everyone who clicked and commented — I appreciate it!

If you need a little extra push, or just like to win really pretty, fun, incredibly awesome things — how about a giveaway?

It is well documented on this blog that I always wear headbands to work out and run races. Over the last three years, I’ve collected a lot of headbands from a few different brands. My most recent headband obsession is Sparkly Soul.

The headbands are (obviously) sparkly, they’re cute, they stay in place and they’re just a lot of fun. I own two; pink and blue, both in the thin style. For the record, I had a really hard time deciding between blue and purple for my second one . . . so I think we all know what my third will be. I wore my pink headband to the Read Write Run 5K, often referred to as the race I won (really I placed 2nd in my age group. Minor details).

Before the race, I struck up a conversation with some people who asked where my headband was from. When I told them it was Sparkly Soul they told me they know the company’s founder! And then when I said my name is Dori they laughed. Apparently that is her name too?! I wonder how she spells it.

Anyway, this headband made me win the race.

Not really, but it did keep my hair off my face, kept me looking good (helpful when a cute guy spoke to me after the race. Sorry Andy. I love you), helped antisocial me make some friends and was just a lot of fun to wear. This photo is me after the race, so you can see that the headband held my hair in place QW (quite well).

They come in lots of fun colors, as well as a thick and a thin style. I told Sparkly Soul about my competition and they agreed to donate a headband to one lucky winner!

Fit-a-licious Launch Giveaway

This is a really big week for me for a number of reasons — my birthday is Wednesday, my one-year anniversary with Andy is Friday and I have tickets to see The Hunger Games on Saturday.

But one huge reason this is such an important week for me is because I get to tell you all about a huge project I’ve been working on for months at my job — Your Beauty Advisor (yba).

Yba consists of four websites covering beauty and wellness geared toward women 30+. To officially announce our launch, we are holding giveaways for the next two months — and the very first one is my baby, our wellness site, Fit-a-licious.

We are giving away $400 worth of prizes, including a one-year membership to YogaVibes online streaming classes (they have well-known, incredible instructors), four workout DVDs (including Bethenny’s Skinnygirl Workout, which I’m really curious to try) an Aurorae yoga mat, supplements and a really cute Puma gym bag.

You can enter the Fit-a-licious giveaway here and it runs through April 1. After that, each of our other sites will have a two-week giveaway for skincare products, makeup products and hair products.
