Day 3 of #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas

Thanks so much for stopping by my corner of the InterWebs today. Whether you've been following along on my journey since I started this blog OVER TWELVE YEARS AGO or you stopped by for the first time today - WELCOME!

And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.


Today is Day 3 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are absolutely AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series (and somehow rig it so I'd win) because they are just that AWESOMESAUCE.

Up for grabs today are: 3 Handful Bras.


For today, DAY THREE, three winners will be randomly selected, each winning a Handful bra of their choice.

Although there is much debate as to whether or not a runner should wear under garments on their bottom half, the need for over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders for females while running is a MUST! And finding said garment can be tricky.

I was introduced to Handful bras years ago and haven't looked back since. I'l be the first to admit (especially since I would consider myself a self proclaimed 'Frugal Fred'), they cost a pretty penny, but they're worth every cent (and not just because I've been an ambassador for them in the past, I was rocking these bras for years before they asked me to be part of their team and have continued even though I'm no longer officially part of the crew)! Not only do they #FlatterNotFlatten (say goodbye to the unfortunate unaboob), but they come with removable Lights Out™ pads, offer flat seams on the inside for added comfort, have performance wicking lining and the adjustable bras allow customization of the strap length and strap configuration {can be X-back, straight or tied up as a halter}. Although I'm partial to the Adjustable Bra, they offer three other models as well - the Y-Back Bra, the Bound and Determined Bra and the Now and Zen Bra.


As a part of the #SportsBraSquad (which, let me remind you, I joined very reluctantly because I do not always love the way my body looks, but when it is hot and humid and you sweat through your shirt before you start your run, you've gotta do something), I am STOKED to have found a sports bra that not only looks great, but makes me feel great!


Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget below listed on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)

a Rafflecopter giveaway Now, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.

Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being randomly picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prize. That means, for this specific giveaway, it will end on December 9th at 11:59pm PST and the THREE winners will be chosen on December 10th.


And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).

With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!

PS Just in case you aren't one of the THREE lucky winners, you can use code "CARLEEMCDOT" for 10% off your order (because EVERYONE is a WINNER in my book)! The code is good on both full priced and sale items (gift certificates excluded), but expires on December 31st, 2018, so go get your shop on and save a few dollars in the process!

  29. I love the handful bras! The max support ones are super cute while still giving me enough support to run in. I have found very few “max support” bras that actually do the job and even fewer that look so cute while doing so!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love my handful bras!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  41. I’ve never had an issue with my sports bras, but I’ve helped enough women in our store to know it’s a huge deal. I tend to wear Brooks. A lot of women with much larger boobs than me have had their running lives saved by the She Fit.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I love C9 from Target, but have always wanted to try Handful because they look cute and can be used as a swimsuit top!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I actually really like the Victoria's Secret sport bras.

  72. No I haven't found a running bra yet.

    ReplyDelete
  73. My go to is Brooks/Moving Comforts Rebound Racer. I’m the opposite of a full D cup (#breastfeedingproblems) and this bra holds all in place. I’m also a sweater so I don’t like padding since it soaks up and then retains all the sweat! And they’re cute. Have always wondered about Handful bras.... will they hold ‘em?

    ReplyDelete
  74. I have a few Ryka bras that I like, but none that I totally love!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  110. I love Lululemon, but they can be a bit tight sometimes. Interested to try these!

    ReplyDelete
  111. I have wanted to try these for awhile but the price keeps me away. I have such a tough time spending money on myself. But I need to find something because the only chafing that I had during Javelina was from my sports bra.

    ReplyDelete
  112. I use the Brooks Fine form. It’s the only one that doesn’t have a uniboob, has a back closure (no hernia taking it off), can be worn cross back or regular, has enough coverage for no headlights but doesn’t have removable liners that get crumpled after one wash, and is flattering.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I currently run in lulu energy bras. Never tried these!

    ReplyDelete
  114. I love my Brooks with the adjustable strap. I’m excited that some of the Handful brad have that as well!

    ReplyDelete
  130. I don't have a go-to sports bra, this looks like a good one to try.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
