I have a love/hate relationship with headbands. I like them because they keep my hair out of my face while I’m working out, but I can never find headbands that don’t give me a headache with their tight bands or completely fall off my head mid-exercise.
So when I got the opportunity to review headbands from Bondi Band that looked comfy and cute, I gladly accepted the chance. My favorite one that I received was a black headband with the OM symbol on it, and I tested out my new fitness head gear with a few different exercise regimens today. First, I had a yoga session in my backyard bright and early.
I practiced some of my favorite poses, including downward dog variations:
Some Goddess love:
Eagle with a lunge: 
Backbend play:
One legged side plank (I know, I like to point my toes! 😉 ):
And of course, a certain little puppy did some photobombing:
At lunchtime, my hubby and I ventured over to the beach for a bike ride along the coast:
Not too shabby of a scene for a break from work right?
It was pretty funny because I told my hubby that I was testing out the headband, and a few moments later as we were riding, a woman we were passing yelled out to me, “I love your headband!” My hubby joked that it was staged. By the way, he’s also vying to wear a Bondi Band for when he goes on runs (but there’s little to no chance that I’m letting him stretch mine out!).
This evening I also wore the headband for a heart-pounding 20-minute Jillian Michaels DVD cardio + strength training workout.
I pretty much wore the headband for a good 14 hour stretch of time, and found it to be comfortable to wear. Since it has no tight elastic, it didn’t give me a headache. It did fall out of place during my cardio workout a bit, but you may want to take that critique with a grain of salt, because it’s coming from a girl that can’t keep anything in place on her body. Seriously, athletic tape falls off me in half the time it’s supposed to, and my hair stays put in any hairstyle for about 15 minutes! All in all, I’m a Bondi Band fan….and now it’s time for me to give away 2 of their headbands! Here’s how it works:
I’m giving away one headband to two readers. Here are your options:

Ooooh I want to win the “I hate running I love running” one because it’s pretty accurate of a statement for me!
Of course it has to be – Love Hate Running 😉
I LOVE the “breathe” headband! The orange is perfect 🙂
My favorite is the love/hate running headband because that is how I feel every single time I run.
I’m the same way with headbands. They never stay on my head! Even BIC bands. I’m convinced it’s because my head is abnormally large.
This one sounds like a winner though! You look awesome rockin’ those poses too!!
I like the “Run like a princess today.”

Has to be the Love.. Hate Running.
My mind does love running. After two stress fractures, its safe to say my hips hate it!
I adore the breathe headband! I might just buy it myself if I don’t win lol!
I’d love to win “I love running/I hate running”!
I like the “breathe” Bondi Band.
omg. I love the “Run like a princess today”. That totally suits me.
I would LOVE to win the I Hate Running/I Love Running one, no truer statement about running was made 😛
I want to win the Run Like a Princess headband!
I love anything pink, so that’s the one I’d choose!
So cool! I love headbands but I find that a lot of them fall off my head! I love the pink one because I’m a pink girl but I’m not really a runner so maybe the orange one!
Also, your yoga photos by the pool are gorgeous!
I love the “i love running/I hate running” one
Ooo I love that orange one – so bright!
I would love the “i love running, i hate running” headband and it looks like so many others do too! That’s what goes through your head during a run. So funny!
I recently took up running, so I’d like to win of the running ones. I have a love hate relationship with running, though it’s more hate at this point!
Headbands are a hit or miss with me, too! I’d love to try out the orange “breathe” one!
I really like the orange one!
I have yet to find a headband that stays in place. I hope the bondi band is a winner for me! I would totally rock the princess one. At least, I like to think I’m a princess. But in reality I’m probably just really whiny and picky.
I adore the one you are wearing! Out of those 3, I’d choose the “breathe” one, they’re all great though!!
I love the one that says i love running. i hate running. Pretty much sums up how I feel 🙂
Those are great! I like the love/hate one the best. Thanks!! 🙂
Would love the Breathe one!! I’d wear it for my hot yoga and my running 🙂
The Princess headband please!!
Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway! 🙂
