For those of you who have been following me for awhile, it’s no secret that I’m kind of obsessed with Sparkly Soul™ headbands.
I have always had a tough time finding headbands that fit my round head. Without fail, they slip off in the first two minutes of my run, and I don’t know about you, but nothing is as distracting for me mid-run as loose hair or a headband that is slooooowly inching its way down your head.
So I was understandably skeptical when I visited the Sparkly Soul booth at the Shape Diva Dash in September 2012.
All headbands claim to be “no slip,” right? And seriously, $15 for a headband? But I was caught up in all the Diva Dash excitement, and they were so pretty, so I forked my money over and bought a thin silver one.
And a love affair was born.
Obviously.
I mostly have the thin headbands, but I love my wider pink one for Body Pump and yoga class. However, I probably get the most use of out my black headband, which I wear most weekend days when I’m hanging out with the kiddos or schlepping them to birthday parties. It just gives a little something extra to a regular old ponytail.
Yes, I know it sounds crazy to spend $15 on a headband, but when I add up all the drugstore headbands I bought over the years that either (a) slipped immediately, or (b) gave me a massive headache, I’ve probably spent twice as much. And they certainly were not as cute. Or sparkly.
And they’re easy to wash: I usually just hand wash them with Woolite in the bathroom sink, then hang them up to dry.
Because I want to share my love of Sparkly Soul with you, I’m thrilled to be able to offer my readers a 15% discount to Sparkly Soul, for this week only! Just go to www.sparklysoul.com and enter the code KEEPINGMOMMYSANE (ends 3/16).
Also, check out Sparkly Soul on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram/Pinterest/Tumblr (SPARKLYSOULINC). I follow them and love the inspirational quotes they routinely post (which I guess is not surprising, considering the company was created by a marathoner and triathlete for all the women who find their strength and soul while pushing themselves to their athletic limits.). They also have a terrific blog, too!
Happy shopping!

Love them and have thought about it…..but…..really no headaches? Everyone I buy gives me a lower head ache….tell me more!
Jessica says
Seriously, no headache! Not sure if its because of the velvet lining or what, but I’ve never once gotten a headache wearing one, even after running 13.1 miles!

I think I’m going to get the thin silver one! Although the only exercise I’m getting these days being pregnant with two kids, is yoga once and week and chasing the littles, I still need to hold my hair back! Thank you for sharing the coupon code!!
