Saying Oui to Me Time

All thoughts and opinions are my own.

What does “oui” mean? The word translates to “yes” in French, pronounced “wee.” In other words, it’s time to start saying “yes” to “Me Time.” Why?

Raise your hand if you can’t remember the last time you enjoyed “Me Time,” even if only for just a few minutes. Raise your hand if you don’t remember the last time you took care of yourself and thought of yourself as a priority. Raise your hand if you are craving “Me Time” to help become energized and renewed.

We’re always so busy. From running errands to answering work emails to taking care of kids … we are pulled in a million different directions day in and day out. From the moment the alarm or baby monitor makes a noise to the moment the head hits the pillow at night, days can be filled with so many activities, needs, wants, emotions, responsibilities, tasks, etc.

How can you squeeze in “me time” in a day or week? Here are simple ways to do just that. You deserve to be pampered. You deserve to be taken care of. You deserve to focus on you. That’s why I’m focusing on saying “oui” to “Me Time.”

Raise your hand if you’ve ever snuck into the bathroom or closet to enjoy a special treat to avoid having one of your kids try to sneak a bite or steal the entire treat. My toddler boy has an incredible appetite and an even more incredible way of eating food quickly. His love of food knows no bounds. And, just like most children, he has a special love for special treats. As do I. So, when it comes to “Me Time,” I enjoy food that makes my taste buds happy.

One simple way for me to enjoy “Me Time” is to always have a secret supply of Oui by Yoplait, an all-new French style yogurt. With its unique, thick, and creamy texture and subtly sweet fresh taste, Oui brings a new offering and experience to the yogurt aisle — and a moment of pure enjoyment in every spoonful.

Oui by Yoplait is inspired by a traditional French recipe. The brand uses simple, non-GMO ingredients like whole milk and real fruit (no artificial flavors and no colors from artificial sources) poured and set in each glass pot. Careful selection of ingredients and detailed craftsmanship, along with the process of culturing in each glass pot for eight hours, results in a deliciously thick yogurt with a subtly sweet, fresh taste.

With real fruit on the bottom, Oui by Yoplait is available in eight single-serve flavors (Strawberry, Vanilla, Blueberry, Peach, Black Cherry, Coconut, Lemon, and Plain) and two multipack flavors (Strawberry and Vanilla). You’re bound to find a flavor or two that you love. The strawberry and blueberry versions make my heart sing when I’m enjoying “Me Time.”

The next time you’re at Walmart, be sure to head to the refrigerator section and add a few glass jars of Oui by Yoplait into your cart. The glass jar makes the yogurt feel luxurious and exorbitant (even my husband said that the yogurt looked good but expensive). The price makes it easy to add container after container into your shopping cart. The yogurt makes your “Me Time” even more special. Plus, once you’re done with the treat, easily peel off the label from the glass jar, rinse out the jar, and upcycle into a succulent or candle holder. Or, simply be sure to recycle.

If you need a bit of “Me Time” and want to enjoy something that makes your taste buds happy, then this yogurt was made just for you. Now, go on and say “oui” to “Me Time” this week.

And just like that, naptime for this little man has ended which means “Me Time” is over and it’s back to mom mode. Thankfully, I’m feeling energized and renewed thanks to saying “Oui” to “Me Time” so that I can be the best mom I can possibly be.

I’m a firm believer that self care is not selfish. You cannot pour from an empty jar (see what I did there?). Fill that jar and enjoy what’s in it so that you can be the best you.
