I always get really into the Olympics and so far this year has not disappointed. Did anyone see Jason Lezak win the 400 meter relay against France?

These rad headbands are by Spiffy Me 43 who makes all of her creations with recyced materials.

Now the question is, who will make the first DIY braided terry cloth sweatband, reminiscent of Olivia...
