As you know I live a very busy, active lifestyle. I feel like I am always on the go…even during my relaxing days. I like to somewhat be up dressed, a little makeup at least, and hair somewhat done most days. My wonderful new Bolder Band has made my mornings more successful than I could have imagined!
About BolderBands:
Amy Crouse was the founder and creator of Bolder Band. She is a Colorado native and a cross fitting/running mom of three kids and a husband who is her business partner! She really enjoys working out, but could never seem to find the right thing to hold her hair back. Every name-brand elastic head band would pop off her head in the middle of her workouts. She got fed up with the interruption of fixing her headband every few burpees and decided there had to be a better alternative.
