Readers, seriously, these babies, are my new best friends! They are called Ionic Balance Bands and I think everyone in the entire world should be wearing one, like we are all from some kind of sci-fi movie, without Ewan MacGregor in it *sigh*

I noticed nearly every second person in my hometown wearing one of these bands, and at first I thought they were just another fashion fad.  Even one of my friends little 8yr old girl had one on and she told me it gave her energy, but frankly, that child has bundles of energy anyway and I kind of smiled and said ‘Oh yeah?’

On Monday evening, I was at my kids Taekwondo class, and I noticed a friend wearing one of these bands and I just asked her why were all these people wearing these bands, what the heck is it about.

She told me she got the band a couple of weeks ago and that since wearing it she has been sleeping better, how on earth can a band help you sleep!?!?

She proceeded to tell me that the band contains a mineral of sorts in the band, she didn’t understand how it works, but she notices a huge difference in her everyday living, she suggested I googled it.

I did, and reader, I really really suggest you have a look at the website too.

I suffer from insomnia, I am really lucky if I get 5hrs solid sleep, that’s on a good night, I go to bed exhausted every.single.night, but as soon as my head hits the pillow its like my brain is on 100 miles an hour and the off switch doesn’t work.  So if a bracelet was going to help me sleep, then why not!

When I saw what the band claims to offer, particularly what it could offer me….Faster recovery (my fractured ankle) Improved mood, reduce fatigue, deeper sleep, and most importantly Enhanced Immune Function, all these symptoms are linked to my Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is of course is an Autoimmune disease.  So, if this was claiming to aid the Immune Function then dammit, I want a piece of  it.

looking more into the site and the company Facebook page I discovered so much praise and claims for this little wonder, that I needed to get one more and more.

The next morning I dropped the kids of at their summer camp and I legged it across town to a retailer I know personally.  I got myself a small band, a nice girly cream one with purple writing.
