BIC Band Giveaway

August 16, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Goooooooooddd MORNING! I am back in Mississippi, and busy busy busy.  Sunday I drove to my parents house for a retailer visit Monday, and after the rain I saw the most BEAUTIFUL rainbow. Very rarely have I ever seen one from end to end, all the way across. I do not recommend trying to take a picture and driving like I was…do as I say not as I do, people.

God painted a beautiful rainbow!

My mom and I went to see the Help after visiting my potential store, and while it was a good movie, the book is better. So, if you liked the movie and haven’t read the book I highly recommend it! My mom also drove me by the house my dad grew up in in New Orleans. It was cool to see and hear stories from her about driving by his house before they started dating when she “liked” him, and he just happened to be outside cutting grass so she ducked down in the seat. How funny!

After, when I dropped my mom off at home, I got to see my NOLA girl! She is getting so big and growing “real” dog fur now.

I can’t believe Healthy Living Summit is SO close. I am finally starting to get excited. It seemed so far away when I bought my ticket! Lots to do before I leave though! Like….host a BIC Band giveaway!

In case you haven’t heard of these nifty little things, let me enlighten you. Bic Bands stands for “Because I can” bands.  So cool! Here is more:

B.I.C. Bands are headbands that will not slip~ (SERIOUSLY!) They are great for any workout, a trip to the coffee shop, going out with friends, work….
you name it, your B.I.C. Band will keep your hair looking FAB! They are headbands that stay in place and help others win their race!

B.I.C. Bands gives back to those in need with every purchase!

Also, really, they don’t slip, I love them! And, way stylish, right?

Yes, you read that right folks. For every band sold, they give a dollar to charity. How COOL! This months’ charity is the Leukemia and Lymphoma society/Team in Training (which of course you all know I am training for!) So, if you have been pondering buying one, please do it this month! I plan to buy some this month and save them for Christmas gifts. GREAT stocking stuffers! They have a ton of cool colors and patterns too. Go to their website and check them out!

Guess what? Because the people at BIC bands are so awesome, they have given me bands to review and one to giveaway to a reader! This free band, score!

How cute? It’s SPARKLY! And it can be yours! here’s how:

1.) MANDATORY Be a follower of my blog (and tell me you are)

2.) Go to BIC Bands website and tell me your favorite band. (separate comment)

3.) Go to Bic Bands Facebook page, become a fan, and tell them Running With Sass sent you (separate comment)

4.) Retweet, post on your blog, or FB page (one separate comment each) Be sure to enter my twitter name @runningwithsass and my URL for retweets.

That’s it, easy-peasy and you can get a free BIC band! This giveaway will go until Thursday night, August 18th, at 8:00 Central time. I will post a winner Friday.

QOTD: Have you ever been to where your parents grew up?

I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨

Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of my favorite traditions. ✨☕ 
From grabbing coffee to wandering through the decorated stores, there’s just something magical about this season. We laughed, made memories, and even managed to cross a few names off our list. 🎄 (ad) 

One of our favorite stops was Reeds at West Town Mall, where I spotted the new Victorinox Air Pro — a watch that’s Swiss-made with incredible craftsmanship, a stainless steel case, shock + water resistance, and even the ability to track 3 time zones at once. 🙌 It’s modern, timeless, and such a meaningful find for the men in my life.

The best part? Ending the day with full shopping bags, full hearts, and a gift I know will be worn and treasured for years. 💫 @victorinoxnorthamerica
