So...I got a Fitbit Flex

I have been reading about "wearable technology" for so long and decided to get a Fitbit Flex when I had the money (usually never!) I spotted a cute pink girly one and despite it looking a little cheap and plasticy looking, I still really wanted one to encourage me to scrape my ass of the sofa and get up and move! I am a sucker for all things weight loss so when I spotted this for £59.99 in the January sales I thought I would treat myself (well, what else are store cards for!) I got it home, set it up on my laptop and was really impressed with how cool it was. I thought that if this didn't encourage me to exercise, nothing would (unless Gerard Butler was standing in the distance with a cake telling me to run!)

I wore it to bed but when I woke up the next morning scratching my wrist and looking at a huge red rash underneath my fitbit, I knew something was wrong. After some internet research, I discovered the clasp on the Fitbit contained Nickle (which I'm allergic to) Oh joy, I thought as I got ready to return it to the shop. Ahh well, I think some more research is in order for another piece of wearable technology for me.....
