BONDSPO kicked off with a bang on Feb 28 2014 and ran for 7 days, where Bonds Instagram followers were invited to replicate a fun, sporty challenge each day for their chance to win prizes and become a Bonds guest ambassador. There were some amazing entries, but we had to narrow it down. And our favourite was... Shayelle, an all-round great Aussie chick from Cronulla New South Wales, who loves surfing, yoga, travelling and discovering new ways to keep healthy and open the mind and soul. Find her on Instagram and view her winning BONDSPO entries there too: http://instagram.com/shayellelajoie 

What was your inspiration for winning Bondspo #DIYchallenge?

My inspiration for the DIY challenge came from my adoration of yogis and their combination of strength and flexibility, I wanted to try out a move of my own and see how far I could push it.

Three words to describe you?

Adventurous, Active and Joyful…  although my mother refers to me as cyclonic!

What is your fave outdoor activity?

My favourite outdoor activity is surfing.

What is your top tip for keeping fit?

Get creative in mixing it up so each workout is enjoyable.

What is your earlier memory of Bonds?

Growing up I did dance classes after school three days a week plus weekends and when it came to clothing, my entire dance wardrobe was Bonds! Also Fridays at school were always “sport” day and for some reason (most likely because we would mingle with other schools), we would strive to look our best on that particular day, which started with having the comfiest and coolest of underwear on. It felt like it was national Bonds day, everyone at every sport seemed to wear them and that’s the way it stuck. To this day I still go for Bonds when I am out to exercise!

What is your fave Bonds item?

It is so incredibly hard to choose just ONE favourite but the boyfriend tees and cuffed trackies are my top two. The Bonds line I find is essential to my active lifestyle because the items are so practical, stylish and most of all comfy.
