I tried Sweaty Bands for the first time in October at the Runner’s World Half and Festival.

“OMG…they don’t slip” is absolutely true!

They have the cutest colors and patterns to choose from. The only draw back to Sweaty Bands is keeping all of my bands from ending up in my daughter’s room [true story].

Active Accessories’ On-The-Go Accessory Pouch is a versatile, sporty clutch designed for people of all ages who are always “on the go.” Designed to fill the reoccurring need of a “fun and athletic looking”  jewelry holder when going from work to the gym or running outside. Never lose an earring again!

Jen and I have been busy with the final details of the challenge to help keep you motivated and on track to reach your goal!
