There’s something about the end of the year that makes people run around frantically with their heads spinning and their hearts pounding. Sleep becomes both the enemy and the most desirable need of the day. Manners are left at home, traded instead for maniacal driving, parking space stealing, and toy-fighting.
But isn’t it supposed to be just the opposite? A time to relax, unwind, and appreciate. Time to snuggle up on the couch in a cozy blanket with a hot mug of cocoa and a cheesy made-for-TV holiday movie. Time to squint your eyes and let the lights of the Christmas tree blur and make twinkling starbursts. Time to spend with your family, soaking up the moments you don’t normally have time to appreciate.
So take a few minutes; slow down. Don’t worry about having perfectly wrapped gifts or elaborate dinners. It’s ok if the Christmas cards don’t go out in time or the house isn’t sparkling clean.
Make double portions of your favorite meals and pop them in the freezer so you can take a break later in the week. Let breakfast cook itself overnight. Dig into a batch of freshly baked cookies without guilt. Employ any shortcuts you have and use the extra few minutes to soak up the spirit of the season.
In honor of relaxing and enjoying your holiday season instead of stressing, I have a giveaway for you!
To celebrate the release of the newest smoothie flavor, Chocolate Banana, Yoplait is giving away a prize pack including a coupon for a bag of free chocolate banana smoothie mix with a smoothie tumbler, a soft neck pillow, and a lavender eye mask.
Yoplait Chocolate Banana Smoothies have live and active yogurt cultures, and deliver 50% of the recommended daily value of calcium. Each package contains enough frozen fruit and real yogurt to make two 8 oz servings, when blended with 1 cup of skim milk. They also make Triple Berry, Strawberry Banana, Blueberry Pomegranate, and Strawberry Mango Pineapple flavors.
Don’t want to wait to see if you win? Download a printable coupon for $1.00 off one package of Yoplait Chocolate Banana Smoothie.
Now I’m not going to lie and say it’d be hard to make a smoothie on your own. But heck, sometimes letting someone else do the work makes it taste that much better. 
To enter to win the relaxation pack, simply leave a comment below telling me what flavor smoothie you’d like to see next from Yoplait.
Disclosure: The Yoplait® VIP Coupon, information, and giveaway have been provided by Yoplait through MyBlogSpark.
