Violet Love Headbands

I’ve been eyeing those trendy thicker headbands people have been wearing for a while.

I use my cheap black Walgreens headbands to keep my hair in place when I work out, but those other ones look so cute on people! Meg comes to mind:)

SO even though I’m not accepting as much stuff anymore, I wanted to say yes to Violet Love and see if I liked this style of headband.

I got to pick out my own fabrics and went with more basic ones, even though they have all sorts of patterns. Tons, actually.

They are SO SOFT. And so light weight!

I wore it to the gym one morning (this one from their “signature line”), and will admit I felt a little silly in the weight room with the guys with a flowery headband. Gotta be proud!

Anyway, it didn’t move one bit and I loved it! It didn’t feel super tight around my head either.  I also really love that you can adjust the width of the band so I could make it a little thicker to try that trend. Still not sure if I looks good on me!

I was really excited to try it at Bikram since my little flyaways bug me to no end while I’m supposed to be keeping calm and not messing with my clothes and hair. I wore the pink “performance line” there. (To be honest, I can’t tell what makes it any different or “performance”. It’s the same material I think?) It was perfect. Light enough that I didn’t feel too hot, but kept all those pesky hairs out of my face!

I’m so excited to have these !I think they’ll be a bikram staple and I like them with regular outfits too!

The Comparison Trap

I read about the comparison trap pretty often  as it relates to health and fitness. There are endless different "right" ways to eat and exercise, and it's easy to get caught up in what other people are doing. It's important to remember what's … [Continue reading]

Scenes From The Weekend

The weekend was incredible. Just the quick break we all needed from chemistry, though it was never far from our minds. Not only are we making really cheesy chemistry jokes already, but we had a Tuesday test looming over us. We all took some time … [Continue reading]

Some random observations about life 3 days into my Post-bac Premed program: I have get to wear real clothes again. Not fancy, but no one has quite gotten to the "wearing pajamas or gym clothes every day" phase yet. I'm sure it will come, but … [Continue reading]

Forgetting Free Time
