Hip Appeal Review

Another fabulous review at Fashionista Momma.  Today’s post is about a pretty unique little gadget/style find that will make life a little easier.  It’s a stylish version of the fanny pack called Hip Appeal.  Sorry guys I’m saying it. “The fanny pack isn’t very stylish.”
But, this cool little band is perfect for runs, walks, trips to the gym or any outing that you don’t want to have your hands filled with all your belongings and you don’t want to carry a purse.  I used it primarily for workouts and loved it.  The band has two zipper compartments and a nice cell phone pocket.  It conveniently held my car key or house key, cell phone, and credit card.  I also stashed gum because let me tell you my workouts always include gum.
Now just an FYI if you are doing squats or any type of lunge the band will need to sit higher on your waist if you have your cell phone in the pocket.  If you wear it low on your hips the phone will get in your way.  The huge perk for someone like me is that you have easy access to your phone.  I have actually been carrying my phone and stuffing it in the back of my pants or my sports bra because I hate the arm bands.  I like to change my music a lot and I need to see the screen so, the ease of pulling my phone out is perfect!!
Final review ladies this is a great product.  It’s made well, with the perfect amount of stretch and comes in a ton of colors.  I would recommend it and you will see me sporting it on runs and at the gym.  These photos were even snapped on my way out for a run.

    I usually don’t like fanny packs, I think they look a bit like what older people wear but you made this WERK!

Have you been to Ensenada? What’s your favorite spots? We had a great time on our Ensenada excursion on our Carnival cruise. Including rain, pina coladas, La Bufadora and wine tasting at Santa Tomas winery. If you are in SoCal I recommend making your own way across the border to Ensenada.
