Bondi Bands! WooHoo!





Ever since seeing Bondi Bands reviewed on a blog a while ago I have been dying to try them. I have not been able to find a headband that actually stays on my head. I love to wear headbands while I'm cleaning or working out and if it's cute enough, in everyday life. But the headband would always start at the front of my head and slowly or quickly slide back until it fell off.














Well, not anymore. I have an awesome friend who gave me one as a gift a few days ago. I put it on the first night for a little while and it stayed put. I put it on the next morning and wore it until the afternoon and still it didn't budge. Bondi Bands are amazing! Thank you so much, awesome friend!!!


You might be wondering why my awesome friend chose the awesome saying "just don't be last". My friend and I have gone hiking with a meetup group many times together. Everyone knows I am a slow walker and that applies to my hiking as well. I always wait and start walking with the folks in the back of the group. And even though my friend could be leading the group of 60 to 1oo hikers she is always happy to keep pace with me so we can chat. :-)


However, even though I like being at the back of the group, I hate being last. And I didn't even fully realize this about myself until our last hike. 
In this hiking group there have been a few people that were always a bit behind me and my friend. But not this particular Sunday. They were blasting past us. And when I realized that we were the last two my friend got to see me have a silly, meant to make her laugh, plotting how to change the circumstances back in my favor, freak out about it. Even though I was trying to be funny about it, the truth is my pride was hurting and she knew it. 


Just don't be last!!!

  1. LOL!!! Joanne competitive??? No way!! It's crazy how you can be feeling that way even when the is no actual competition involved. Maybe you are born to be in triathalons? Food for thought.

  2. Funny thing is I had the same mentality in the first and only triathlon I did. I blasted past people in the swimming section and then got killed in the biking portion because I was riding a mountain bike rather than a road bike. When I got to the run the only thing on my mind was passing as many people as I could so I wouldn't be last. It was all I cared about.
