Sports Mama Review: isplack Colored Eye Black

I love supporting my boys and their teams in any and every way possible! From attending each and every game to being team mom to wearing their team colors- I try to do it all.  Nail polish, shirts, hats, jewelry... if it comes in their colors, I probably have it!


Colored eye black is one of my absolute favorite ways to show my team spirit. It's quick, easy, and inexpensive. Not all eye black is created equal, so isplack is the way I go.


What makes iSplack different from other eye black? It is waterproof, sweat proof, and contains NO harmful chemicals. I use it on my 12 and 13 year old's faces (as well as their teammates!), so being healthy and safe for their young, sensative skin is a must!


As previously mentioned, my boys switched football teams this season. A new team means new colors! isplack comes in fourteen different colors, so I knew that they'd have the exact blue and orange that I was looking for. Electric Orange and True Blue were the perfect match!

The colors are very vibrant, the texture is super creamy (reminds me of a high-end lipstick!), and it is extremely easy to apply.


The boys were so excited to wear it yesterday! In fact, one of No. 2's teammates even said, "we better win since we have this war paint on!". And they won, alright. 19-0! Ha!

A whole football game (and a bunch of sweat!) later...

and their colors were still on!


Don't worry, mamas. Players aren't the only ones who can rock it!

I'm wearing the color Pure Maroon in the top photo, and the bottom two are in Power Pink (which by the way is THE perfect pink to use next month to support Breast Cancer Awareness!).

isplack's colored eye black retails for $8.99 and can be purchased on their website, at your local Dick's Sporting Goods, or on Amazon.

This product is a MUST for Sports Mamas of every sport!

What are you waiting for? Get your colors on!!!

Sports Mama Review: Create out Loud Cowbell

As previously mentioned, my boys are playing football for a new club this season. A new club means new teammates, new mama friends, new colors, and of course, a NEW COWBELL! I mean, what good is a football mama without her cowbell?!


I purchased the Create out Loud Large Cowbell with Handle from Walmart. The online description says "The Create Out Loud range of noisemakers will help elevate your team spirit to the next level. The customizable cow bell will help you cheer your team on! Add your own unique touch to this cowbell with paint, stickers, markers, stencils, etc.!". The bell is 10" tall and 3" wide. The bigger the better, right!

It is lightweight, yet seems quite sturdy. And best of all, it is LOUD! I haven't tested it at an actual game just yet, but I have rang it quite a bit at home- my kids and puppy must love me! Ha.


To customize my cowbell, I began by covering it with two coats of orange spray paint. (Tip: I covered the handle with aluminum foil prior to spraying, to ensure it stayed black). I then let the paint dry for a solid 24 hours before decorating.

For decorating supplies, I took a trip to my local Michaels. I bought football shaped stickers as well as blue and white markers. Don't forget to use a coupon! I also dug into my craft bin where I was able to find white, sticker letters that I colored blue. I ended up hot gluing the stickers on for an added layer of protection. (I can go a little crazy jumping up and down ringing my bell sometimes).


Here is the finished product!

I'm very happy with how my bell turned out! I will be sure to update my post about midway through the season with how it is holding up.


GO SYC!!!






***UPDATE: Football season ended last week and my bell was still going strong... even after all of the ringing and jumping up and down I did! It was by far THE loudest one in the stands and I received SO many compliments on it. I can't wait to ring it again next season! #icantkeepcalmimafootballmom
