Davina for Next: The conclusion

February 8, 2012 By jbmumofone 14 Comments

Honestly folks, I feel quite sad writing this, my final review post of the Davina for Next gear.  I was a little unsure about writing sponsored/paid/compensated posts on the blog but I was quite genuinely selfishly smitten with the idea of being given this stuff to review and was just THRILLED to get picked.

However, I was determined to do it honestly.  And I have.  So here it comes.  After four weeks of pretty thorough testing, my final thoughts…

The Davina for Next Vest:  I love it.  It takes a little wriggling to get into but, once in, there will be no wardrobe malfunctions mid-run.  Now that I am being regularly put through my running paces the pounds are slowly shifting and am so impressed with it have actually purchased this with MY OWN MONEY in a smaller size.  That’s how much I like it.

The Davina for Next Trainer: I have now put these trainers through over 30K’s worth of running.  Not even a hint of a blister or a bruise.  I wasn’t sure about the elastic laces but I now quite like them.  I do though suspect that the claim of activating your calf muscles by an extra 8% is TRUE.  Mine often hurt and need a whole load of stretching after a run.  They would maybe serve better as a gym shoe than a running shoe.

The Davina for Next Capri Pants: I love these.  They are tight in a ‘will support you enough to stop your ass-wobbling comically’ way, but not tight in a ‘will make you feel really fat’ way.  I am hoping that eventually I will shed enough pounds to buy these in a smaller size too.  If that miracle ever happens I will.  Given that my ass is currently the size of Argentina I am not holding out much hope.

So, all in all, I am SO GLAD that I got to review these items.  Not only did I love the stuff but it really gave me the kick in my Argentine-sized ass that I needed to get fit again.  A 10K race is now on the horizon.

So big thanks to:

Next: Your bloggers network is just awesome.

Laura J Janssen: Possibly the loveliest PR person ever.  Mwah, and you will have that bikini bum by the summer I am sure.  You sound skinny to me.  If you are ever in a Bristol we should go for a beer run together.

Pam and Monty:  Hope your paw heals soon Monty.  Go easy on me Pam.  But thanks for keeping me going, especially up the hills.  Ouch.

Davina:  Good stuff.

So check back in with me in six months my lovely readers and hopefully you will find this…


instead of this…

…fingers crossed.

    Well done you! I’ve decided February is diet month and the March will be exercise month so hopefully I won’t embarrass myself too much in front of your mum in July. Keep up the good work. x

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
