A few months back I dropped my phone while running and smashed the camera lens – I think it is time to invest in a new phone carrier! I am loving the stretchy armband options by MUV365 and the stretchy waist belts! -B xx

When you head out of your house for a run or a walk you don’t want to be weighed down with bits and pieces. Ideally, you will only take the absolute necessities – your phone of course! perhaps some earbuds, a house key or a card possibly to grab an organic coffee or juice on the way home. So where do we stash all of these items? Unfortunately for women most of our activewear is designed without adequate pockets that will fit our now super large phones!

Today we thought we would bring you some different options of phone armbands and carriers that would be perfect to stash your phone on your next run!
