Want to know a little bit more about the gal who started the company???  Let me introduce her: 

My name is Amber. I'm 27 years old from Swartz Creek, MI. I grew up in a family of runners and avid gym-goers, but the mere thought of working out or running any distance more than a few yards was more than I thought I could handle.

When I was 24 I was at the tail end of a very physically and mentally abusive relationship. I had lost pretty much all my self worth and gained about 50 lbs. I had isolated myself from virtually all mt friends and family and had found solace in large quantities of junk food. One day after weighing myself, and to my complete terror seeing the numbers "192", I knew my 5"2 frame needed a change, and I needed it now.

I started working out 5x a week at my local gym, and running a few times a week in my neighborhood. Running is something I literally never dreamed I could do. I had short legs and was big busted (a tragic combination for a runner). Determined, little by little, my running improved. My posture, speed, distance and breathing started to resemble that of an actual runner!

Since 2010 I've done a handful of 5ks, 8ks, 10ks, and one very hilly and grueling 15k! This year I look forward to training for my first 10 mile (The Crim) in August.

I've lost a total of 50 lbs so far. My boyfriends wonderful cooking and my love for food makes for a daily struggle, but with moderation and 45 minutes of running or working out ( I'm currently doing Insanity) I go to bed feeling confident and genuinely happy with myself, which is more important than anything.

I had two problems when I was running though; my earbuds NEVER stayed in my ears and my hair would ALWAYS fly in my face. I looked for headbands at the store, but they were never tight enough around my head. I looked online and found some spandex headbands, but they were $18 a piece! I thought to myself " I could make these myself much cheaper and more importantly, much cuter!". I ordered the material, got out my sewing machine, and went to work. I make my headbands snug enough to without a doubt stay in place while running, and wide enough to put over my ears while I'm running so my earbuds, without fail, stay in place!

Now go and enter to win!!!
