A Headband That Stays In Place?!

Having horses means I'm outside a lot no matter the weather. I am always looking for ways to stay warm. Hats have been my only option as headbands constantly slide off making me redo them over and over. Pulling my hair in a ponytail only seemed to make it worse. This headband is the solution to that!

The material is thinner than I expected but it kept my ears very warm without the bulk of others I've tried which was nice! I've worn it to the barn a couple times now between riding and giving lessons without issues. Being able to put my ponytail through the band helped keep in place very well! It was super comfortable too! At one point I even had to take my ponytail holder out to put my riding helmet on over top and the back of the headband did not slide at all!  The quality is very nice and the fabric is soft.

The only thing I wasn't super keen on was it doesn't have much elasticity at all. That made it a little looser (mainly the back it seemed) than I'm used to but that's just a personal preference. I'm used to headbands having to be pretty tight to stay on but it didn't make a difference with this one!! I only really noticed when I was putting it on, not while I was wearing it. I would recommend this headband to anyone wanting to keep their ears warm without a lot of bulk! In fact, I already have to a friend!

Anchor Silicone Wedding Ring

I'm a very active person. There are many times I don't want to wear my wedding ring for various reasons - it pinches, don't want to damage or lose it, etc. This ring is the PERFECT solution! It fits great and is very comfortable. So comfortable that I forget I'm wearing it! That's why I forgot to take a picture while riding my horse the other day. I wore it for a couple days straight (except while sleeping) and loved how it felt! It's a perfect width for my hands too. I wear a size 7 so I ordered the 6-7 size. 

It is also very well made. The silicone is soft. There are no seams and it is thick enough that I'm not worried about it tearing! I have tried another silicone ring before but I like this one better, hands down. This is my go to ring for all my activities! I HIGHLY recommend the Anchor Silicone Ring whether you are active or not! It also comes in other colors!

21 Day Fix RESULTS!!

So, I wanted to post my results from the 21 Day Fix program by Beachbody so you can see for yourself that it works. I lost 4#, inches off my waist and hips, and toned up all over! I am very happy with this program and would highly recommend it! I will be continuing with it until I reach my goal! 

Muscle Roller Stick by BYC Fitness

I just started a new exercise program so this came at a good time. I was a little worried that the hard plastic rollers would not be comfortable like foam would be but they are. They help give a good amount of firm pressure instead of me having to push down harder. I used it shortly after one of my harder workouts and really liked how it felt. It is a LOT better than trying to use my hands to massage sore muscles! I mainly used it on my thighs since they hurt the worst. It rolled very nicely and I could feel some knots release when I put pressure. I was a lot less sore the next day thanks to it!. I tried using it on my back but it was a little tricky which I expected. The few muscles I was able to get to felt really nice. I will try using it on my back with different techniques later to see if I do any better. I could also have my husband use it on my back for me. Using it on my neck was easier than my back and also felt great.

My only concern is the gap in the rollers. It's a lot larger than I would've thought. I am worried that they may shift and I would get pinched. I did use it for awhile and it never happened though. (See picture)

Overall, I would recommend this product for sore muscles. It's easy to use, light weight and really does help loosen up sore muscles and knots. I know I will be using it a lot more!

21 Day Fix by Beachbody

Like a lot of people, one of my New Year resolutions was to get in shape/healthier. But, unlike a lot of people, I'm actually doing something about it. Enter Beachbody's 21 Day Fix! I had been thinking about trying this one for awhile. Well, thinking about it isn't going to help me get fit... In order for me to be successful, I needed accountability so I ordered the Challenge pack which included being added to my friend's (and coach) Challenge group on FB. We check in every day, ask questions, and get help when needed. Lucky for me I have a competitive side so that helps me make sure I check in.

The hardest part for me was changing the way I eat. I didn't eat horrible but I had a LOT of room for improvement! The containers helped me with portion control and making sure I ate more of the right foods. Meal prep (which I hate) is also a big help. I find I snack on much healthier things since they are already prepared vs grabbing some chips or such. There are a TON of recipes you can find too. My hubby even likes a lot of them and that says a lot ;)

The workouts were tough at first but you can follow Kat in the videos and do modified moves until you're able to follow Autumn (who does make the workouts fun). I've already noticed a difference in myself. I am more flexible and able to modify a lot less now.  I can't say it's been the easiest thing I've done but it's far from the hardest. I'm finishing up week 2 and am excited to start week 3 and continue getting fit and healthier!

I highly recommend this workout program for anyone who wants to make a difference in they're life! And I can recommend a great coach too! ;)

XYZlicone Infinity Band

My husband really likes this ring. It's a little narrower than a previous one he had which he likes. He works in construction and this ring is very comfortable for him to wear while working.

Also, it's a lot safer than metal ones if it were to get caught somehow! I would highly recommend this for an active lifestyle! I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. The opinion expressed here is my own. ‪#‎XhibitYourZeal‬
