New Feature: Monday Moments + Giveaway!

I am a self proclaimed Starbucks Junkie! I LOVE splurging and going out for coffee on the weekends! Luckily, I usually have free gift cards that I have earned through Swagbucks so it's not really even splurging!

I also really love their bottled Frappucino drinks. They are handy to have on hand if I don't feel like making a pot of coffee in the morning and are great for afternoon treats! Recently Starbucks came out with a new flavor for their bottled fraps, Vanilla Light. They contain 1/2 the calories and less than 1/2 the sugar than the classic vanilla flavor.

STARBUCKS FRAPPUCCINO
To promote this new flavor, Starbucks is running a campaign for the next 4 weeks called, Monday Moments. It is similar to Wordless Wednesday except it will have a bonus, a giveaway! More details on that later in the post. Monday Moments is all about taking time for relaxation and cherishing personal moments.

Starbucks is also offering a Fabule$$ printable coupon for $1.00 off HERE.

Monday Moments

My Monday Moment this week is all about personal relaxation. Relaxing to me is just as the photo looks, curled up in my big comfy chair with a blanket, a hot cup of tea or coffee (and usually some chocolate!) and my laptop!

***GIVEAWAY!***

Every Monday for the next 3 weeks I will be posting my "Monday Moments" here on the blog and hope you will get your entries in for the great giveaway Starbucks is offering! One lucky Fabulessly Frugal Mom reader will win a 4 Pack of Vanilla Light Frappucino and a $10 Starbucks gift card!

You can earn 1 entry per week for 3 weeks and all you have to do to enter is leave a comment on each Monday Moments post with your answer to my question that week! One winner will be chosen at random on Friday, April 16th. The winner will be notified by email and announced here on 4/19. I am hoping that the winner will email me their Monday Moment photo to feature on Monday, April 19th for the final installment!

For this week's entry leave a comment with your answer to the following: What is your favorite way to relax when you are on your own - no kids, no spouse or friends, just YOU??!!

Disclosure - Starbucks is sponsoring this giveaway for one of my readers and is also sending me the same items to review and use. No compensation other than the $10 gift card will be received and all opinions and "Monday Moment's" are 100% my own.

  8. I love to read or journal. Reading helps me escape the crazy world and let's me travel to a different world. While journaling helps me justify my feelings and thoughts - helping me dream, hope and feel rejuvenated. All with a much needed cup of black coffee or tea =)
    And lastly I like to go for a run outside. No music; just listening to my breathing, thinking and breathing fresh air.
