It turns out the snow weather.com predicted is mostly a rainy mess. It’s dark, wet and drab outside. All I want to do in between training clients and teaching classes is take a nap.
To sparkly things up a bit and in honor of being the blogger of the month at Sparkly Soul Inc., today I’m giving away two fun headbands to one reader.
Being the blogger of the month for Sparkly Soul Inc. during the month of November has been so much fun! It was a good month to be on the receiving end of their kindness, especially with all the marathon chaos. (How are we still in November? The NYCM debacle seems so far away!)
Since you’re busy and have better things to do I’ll cut to the chase. Here’s what you can win: one thin Sparkly Soul headband and one wide Sparkly Soul headband in your color of choice.
Here’s how to win: Leave a comment below telling me what cheers you up on a rainy day.
Also be sure to follow both Sparkly Soul Inc and FCITC on instagram (my new favorite thing).Β
This contest will end on Friday, November 30th. Winner will be announced on Saturday, December 1 2012.
To add more sparkle to your day you can also follow Sparkly Soul Inc. on Facebook,TwitterΒ and Tumblr.Β

Anything sparkly cheers me up on a rainy day, so I would absolutely love to win a Sparkly Soul headband! And rain isn’t so bad. It prepares me to get sweaty during a great workout and after the workout, when leaving the gym, it cools me down!

On days I don’t want to leave the apt I love doing a full body workout at home! In February I had back surgery to treat a (two year) disc herniation. It was horrific! No longer do I stress my body and push it beyond its max. Rather I implement planks, push-ups, glute lifts and barre work to emphasize a mind body connection…my mind sparkles with ideas and so does my body when I wear my sparkly soul!!!

I love these headbands! On a cold rainy day I enjoy cooking something comforting, like a soup or stew
Allison says
I dislike the rain so much you’d think that I was made out of sugar. However, there’s nothing like coming home from work to my apartment on a cold and rainy day, taking off my rain boots (or snow boots in yesterday’s case) in the hallway before I walk in and hearing my dog jumping around, shaking with glee, and making these absurd little noises knowing that someone’s about to come home to her. It puts a huge smile on my face every time and makes me forget that I’m freezing and wet and that I’ve just spent the entire walk home muttering to myself about wanting to move back down South.
