BIC Bands Giveaway!

Sandy, the awesome creator of BIC Bands and the author of A Mom On The Run has offered to let me host a BIC Bands giveaway!

BIC Bands ~ Because I Can Bands ~ We run because we can...for those who can't, so that one day they will!

Sandy is so great because she donates $1 from the sale of each BIC Band to a new charity each month! This month, BIC Bands is excited to be raising funds for Back on my Feet and Just as I am ~ Downs Syndrome Awareness Association.

Sandy sent me two BIC Bands to try out and review. She makes thick, thin, and skinny bands. And there are so many colors and designs to choose from. I got to try a thick band and a thin band. Here are the ones I chose.


Aren't they awesome!?

The Review

Once I let Sandy know which BIC Bands I'd like to try, she shipped them right away and I got them really quick. I love that!

As soon as I took them out of the package I could tell that they were of great quality.




I have worn these BIC Bands for every workout since I received them. They DO NOT MOVE. They stayed in place while I ran, took X-Bike class, did Kickboxing, and taken Boot Camp. I have done floor work and lots of jumping and they have never moved or even needed adjusted. They are seriously awesome.

I've received many compliments on them while wearing them at the gym and while out running errands.

I highly recommend them and will definitely be buying more.

Sandy told me that some people prefer the thick band and others will prefer the thin. I love both sizes, but the thin one is my first thin band in this style and I absolutely loved it. I can't wait to get more!

When I got my BIC bands and opened them, Miss S really wanted to try one on. So here she is modeling the thin BIC Band.






Here is what they look like on me.
