31 Jan

The winner of this giveaway will receive one thin sparkly headband and one wide sparkly headband!

Here’s how to enter this giveaway (yes I know I called it a contest in the video – but it isn’t a contest, just a simple giveaway!). For each entry please leave a separate comment. And, if you do not complete the required entry, your other comments will not be counted in the giveaway.

  1. (Required Entry) Go to the Sparkly Soul Website and tell me which two colors you would choose if you win.

  3. (Optional Entry) Tell me what you would do to put your Sparkly Soul headband to the ultimate non-slip guarantee test!

It’s that simple ladies (and gents if you want to win one for your gals).

This contest will be open until Sunday, February 5th, at 12 p.m. EST. I will pick a winner using the Random.org number generator Monday morning, because there is no better way to start the week than with some sparkle!

  9. Stéphanie January 31, 2012 at 8:49 pm #

    And for the ultimate non-slip test, I would use it during my spinning class (and make it an extra intense work out).

  10. Jennifer C January 31, 2012 at 9:15 pm #

    I would love nothing more than to be the proud new owner of a red, & pink headband 🙂

  11. Jennifer C January 31, 2012 at 9:16 pm #

    I would sparkle all the way through my long runs on the weekend, and while getting buff in the gym—that’s how I’d wear my headbands!

    To put this to the test I would wear it to my dance class – we do tons of crazy jumping and spinning moves so it would be the ultimate test!

    since most of my workout gear is black or white, i’d probably have to go with the sparkly black or sparkly silver wide bands! so cute!

  26. Laurel C January 31, 2012 at 10:58 pm #

    to test out the sparkly soul headbands i’d go on my usual long run and see if it could keep my hair in place while still keeping me looking classy 🙂

  27. Alyson January 31, 2012 at 10:58 pm #

    I like the blue & purple. To put mine to the ultimate no-slip test I would wear it during my chunky dunk duathlon!

  28. Bernadette Chan January 31, 2012 at 11:06 pm #

  36. Amber February 1, 2012 at 7:25 am #

    To put it to the test, I would run outside in Chicago on a windy day. Saturday, I lost a pony tail holder so I need something that’s going to stay!

  37. Amber February 1, 2012 at 7:26 am #

  38. Meghan February 1, 2012 at 7:40 am #

  45. JessSutera February 1, 2012 at 9:27 am #

    I sooo want one of these! NO headband ever stays put on my head without clips too. SO annoying! I’d love the green or purple!!

  46. JessSutera February 1, 2012 at 9:27 am #

  47. JessSutera February 1, 2012 at 9:28 am #

    if it can keep my hair off my face for my first marathon this year (NYC baby!), then it’ll have worked a minor miracle!

  60. Laura @ scribbles and sass February 1, 2012 at 1:58 pm #

    Gold and Silver! I am loving me some metallic right now!

  61. Laura @ scribbles and sass February 1, 2012 at 1:59 pm #

    I’d wear it to Bikram. All that sweat would be an ultimate test.

  63. bdarchi February 1, 2012 at 7:44 pm #

    I love the black and purple (violet) ones

  64. bdarchi February 1, 2012 at 7:47 pm #

    If you saw a picture of me, you would swear I was Sideshow Bob’s sister. I have curly and thick hair. Finding a headband that stays on my head during yoga workouts and while jogging is impossible. So, the ultimate non-slip guarantee test for me would be for it to stay in place on my head during one of my 90 minute hot yoga classes. Off to tweet!

  65. Marty February 1, 2012 at 10:36 pm #

    I like the black and brown headbands.

  66. Marty February 1, 2012 at 10:37 pm #

    I tweeted about your giveaway

  67. Marty February 1, 2012 at 10:40 pm #

    To test the no-slip grip I’d wear it during one of my circuits. I can never seem to keep my hair in place when bouncing from one exercise to another.

  68. Kelly @ Cupcake Kelly's February 1, 2012 at 11:06 pm #

    I would want one of the pink colors and the silver!

  77. Marissa February 3, 2012 at 8:53 am #

  80. Paula Salisbury February 3, 2012 at 1:56 pm #

    I would want red and gold! I would put them to the test by running in them – and a test it would be! All headbands slide off of my head – i’ve been told it’s the shape of my head – should i take ofense to that? 🙂

  82. Sarah @i_will_overcome February 5, 2012 at 6:01 am #

    I would definitely do some jumprope, running hills, and an outdoor run to test these suckers out. Anything with me moving a lot to see if they are really non-slip 🙂

  92. Ellen @ UnderCover Runner Eats February 5, 2012 at 8:25 am #

    I am one sweaty chica, so I would wear them on my runs to see if they can stand the flood that is the sweat that pours from my face.

  93. Caroline February 5, 2012 at 8:34 am #

    I love the hot pink and silver ones! So cute:)

  94. Caroline February 5, 2012 at 8:35 am #

    To put this to the ultimate test, I’d run outside in the wind. That’s when my headbands always slip. Outside, wind, and sweat…

  95. Larisa D February 5, 2012 at 8:42 am #

    Def the sparkly Red and SIlver. ROLL TIDE ROLL!:)

  96. Lucia February 5, 2012 at 8:43 am #

    I love my sparkly pink headband and get lots of compliments on it. Now I want purple and green too!

  97. Kristine February 5, 2012 at 8:44 am #

    I saw someone wearing one in Central Park yesterday and I fell in love and really wanted to try one!
    1. Ice Pink – Thick Headband
    Gold – 3/8 headband
    2. I tweeted! @kymarie13
    3. Headbands have an extremely hard time staying on my head (I think it may be because I have a very round head, ha fail) but I would wear it during one of my long runs and I would also wear it to a class. If it can pass those to tests I know we are good!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

      I also tweeted. My test would be half-marathon training. If it can stay on through that it can stay on through anything.
