Yoplait and MyBlogSpark were kind enough to offer me a “Nourish Your Inner Goddess” gift pack, as well as two coupons for their new Greek yogurt all for free. I was absolutely delighted to receive the gift pack because it gave me a chance to spoil myself.

My favorite part of the pack is the velcro wrap-around towel. Ladies, you know how it is trying to do the towel tuck under your arms, which ends up falling apart if you do it wrong or too loose, so you then have to clutch madly and awkwardly at the towel with your armpits to keep it from falling and perhaps even embarrassing you. Yes. We all know how this is.

The yogurt was a bit difficult to get my hands on. My boyfriend and I went around to two different stores and came out empty handed, though finally we went to the “rich” part of town and found it in their grocery store. Relief! My long, hard search ended in success when I had been worried about certain failure. We selected our two yogurts, one blueberry and one plain. Since lately I have been very vitamin aware, I was pleasured to learn that Yoplait Greek contains a large amount of protein, as well as vitamins A and D.

The one thing I noticed right away about the yogurt was its thickness. It’s thicker than typical yogurt, a lot more creamy. Sort of the texture of… sour cream. Stirring it up to mix in the blueberries at the bottom made it fluffy, but it still retained its thick heaviness. As opposed to the sweet taste of typical yogurt, the Greek style Yoplait had a slightly sour taste. I was a bit worried about this, as the date on my yogurt was well before the sell by time, so I did a little of online looking to discover that this sourness is normal. All in all, it had a really distinct and unique flavor and texture. It was yogurt-y, but yet very different. A good yogurt, though? Yes, yes it is.

Giveaway!

True Blood and Philosophy: We Wanna Think Bad Things with You (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series) (From publisher)
Vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, fairies, telepaths—True Blood has it all. In a world where supernatural creatures coexist with human beings, Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton wrestle with powerful desires while facing complex issues concerning sex, romance, bigotry, violence, death, and immortality. Now, True Blood and Philosophy calls on the minds of some of history’s great thinkers to perform some philosophical bloodletting on this thought-provoking series. From the metaphysics of mind reading to Maryann Forrester’s cult of Dionysus, from vampire politics to the nature of personal identity, and from contemporary feminism to the rights of nonhuman species, True Blood and Philosophy mines the thinking of philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, John Locke, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, and John Rawls to enlighten us on the intriguing themes that surround this supernatural world. You’ll find no shortage of juicy metaphysical morsels to sink your teeth into!
