A few weeks ago I started testing out a new product called Bitbelt, a product that promises to ease your worries about losing your fitness tracker bands.

Bitbelt, a company started in 2013 during the rise in consumer wearable wrist fitness trackers such as the FitBit, that promises to answer the prayers of anyone who fears losing their wrist trackers. The goal of Bitbelts is to protect people from losing their costly fitness trackers due to weak or flawed fasteners or from snagging and falling off. Bitbelt makes safety belts for in sizes for both Fitbit Flex and Force, Samsung Gear Fit, Vivofit, and the Disney Magic Bands.

I've been wearing my Bitbelt for almost a month and I can't image wearing Fitbit without it now!


The two rubber materials of the Bitbelt and the Fitbit band don't slide well against each other making it near impossible for the Bitbelt to come lose. It might be a little difficult to get on but that makes it just that much harder for it to accidentally fall off.

There's not more worrying that my Fitbit is going to snag on my coat or sweatshirt when I'm taking it off and loosening the clasp, allowing for the band to fall off and get lost later.

Thanks to Bitbelt, I now have the peace of mind when wearing my wrist fitness tracker that I won't lose it! It also doesn't hurt that they come in a bunch of fun colors (some even glow in the dark) and they're offered at a great price so there's no excuse not to have at least one.


I love Bitbelts so much that I want to give away a few to some of my loyal readers!

I recently hit up Downtown Detroit Days with some of my girl friends in support of Detroit's new shopping scene, pioneered by Somerset Collection's CityLoft. Downtown Detroit Days (DDD) runs a few weekends throughout the summer (there's no more scheduled this year) and has been a Detroit tradition since the 1950s. DDD transforms an empty lot, once home to J.L. Hudson's, an outdoor marketplace featuring the best Detroit and Michigan based brands, local artists and entertainers. We shopped and had a great time all while taking in the sights of downtown and the heart of Woodward.

For awhile now I had been in search of the perfect bamboo iPhone case so I was pleasantly surprised to find one at DDD in the Eye Zig Zag booth. And since there was a "buy two" deal going on and I wanted to support a local startup, I figured this would be a great "Back to School" giveaway!

The real bamboo brings balance to your high-paced tech life with its natural grain and texture and it also makes for a perfect autumn accessory! The hand-made case slides apart into two pieces for easy application and features a felt internal panel to keep from scratching the backside of your phone. Cutouts in the wood allow for access to all the phone's components.

As everyone gears up for school and mourns the end of summer, I thought my followers might need this back-to-school, fall-is-upon-us pick-me-up!
