ENTER TO WIN: $100 AmEx Gift Card Because Excedrin® Extra Strength Wants You To “Take a Holiday from Headaches”

Excedrin Extra Strength

You know and I know that November and December are wonderful months, despite the drop in temperatures.  There’s just so much going on, there never seems to be any down time. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s…we all look forward to the sights, smells, foods, and fun of these wonderful days. However, sometimes the things we love the most about the holidays could trigger headaches or migraines. I know first hand, unfortunately, that this happens all too often. That’s why the makers of Excedrin® Extra Strength invite you to “Take a Holiday from Headaches” by following these simple steps, provided by Dr. Keri Peterson, M.D.:

To help avoid your triggers:

  • Stick to your regular routine.  Eating, sleeping and exercising as you do the rest of the year can help reduce the chances of getting a headache. *
  • Manage your time and plan ahead. Coordinate plans and responsibilities in advance with relatives and friends, compose set menus when hosting a party and try to purchase gifts early so you’re not rushing at the last minute*
  • Stay in ventilated spaces. As you browse through the mall, watch out for those scented candles or perfume if you are sensitive to smells**
  • Eat and drink in moderation. Eat, drink, and be merry, but try not to consume sweets or alcoholic beverages in excess, as they could trigger headaches**

Holiday time can also mean lots of traveling, so be sure to carry Excedrin® Extra Strength with you when you’re on the go for fast relief should a headache or migraine strike.

Visit Facebook.com/Excedrin between November 1, 2013 and January 1, 2014 to enter the “Take a Holiday from Headaches” sweepstakes, where you’ll be eligible for a chance to win daily prizes including gift cards to popular retailers and one lucky grand prize of $25,000 to help with shopping, travel and other holiday expenses – all of which can give anyone a headache. See official rules here.

One (1) lucky Lady and the Blog reader will receive a $100 American Express gift card!!!

  4. Yes kind of, and I just try not to overwhelm myself and do one thing at a time.

  5. I *think* I’m ready for the holidays. I am doing a lot of my holiday shopping online to cut down on stress. I’m also not driving myself crazy with Thanksgiving preparations. This will be the first year I’m really going to recruit my kids to help prepare some of the food…Pinterest has been great for ideas.

  7. I handle stress by taking a time out for myself whenever it’s needed. Do one thing at a time and don’t rush myself to get it done.

  14. I am very ready for the season! I try to handle the stress by making plans in advance, sticking to my budget, and getting plenty of rest!

  15. This will be the least stressful holiday I have experienced in years. I am on top of my gift list and I only have 2 gatherings to attend. It’s going to be a breeze and I’m looking forward to several days of “staycation.”

  17. I’m getting there. My way of dealing with stress is taking a little time for myself each day…a cup of tea, a hot bath, or even just a few minutes of quiet.

  20. I try to keep organized with lists and by doing a little each time I can.

  23. I AM NOT READY YET. STILL LOTS TO DO. I GET EXTRA SLEEP AND WASH HANDS A LOT.

  24. I like to stay organized during the busy Holiday season in order to reduce stress. The main thing I do is to keep a notebook that contains all of my Holiday schedules, appointments, to do list, etc. I find that keeping everything in one place makes it much easier to be sure that everything gets done in a timely fashion. Thanks for the super giveaway opportunity. Keep up the terrific blogging.

    but if i can’t eat, a good snack and a cup of coffee will do

  45. I guess I’m getting ready for the season, began making lists, looking at ads. I handle stress during the holidays by taking time for myself, usually relax in a quiet room, listening to music, plus I delegate certain things to my husband and son 🙂

  46. I’m ready! I haven’t shopped yet, but I wait until the last minute (I never know what I might win that I don’t have to buy). I handle stress by nursing my wine.

  102. I usually do stress but this year I bought everything early so I wouldn’t

  115. We live in a different state than most of our family, which is lonely and stressful during the holidays. This year we are planning a weekend trip to spend time with our families for the holiday season! [email protected]

  116. Financially I am not ready, as my husband was laid off work the end of July and we’re having difficulty making ends meet. I will still decorate and celebrate regardless of whether there are gifts. We should all just remember the true meaning of the holiday.

  117. I am SO ready for the season! With the exception of not a completely clean house :/

  118. We just keep everything laid back and stress-free. We keep the focus on the celebrations. For Christmas, we just buy a few small things for our children.

  120. I dont think ive found a way to manage the stress of it yet but decorating and Christmas songs usually put me in a good mood.

  121. I am ready for the holidays. We have a very small family so it’s not stressful at all. I buy presents early when I see a good sale or deal and that helps as well.

  124. I am ready and I don’t get stressed I just have fun.

  143. I am most definitely not ready for the holidays yet! But I hope to be soon once our budget revives from the damage the dead car did to it!

  144. I just do what I can and improvise the rest. A glass of wine now and then helps!

  145. I am pretty much ready, I reduce stress by doing everything early if possible, that way I am not overloaded at the last minute.

  146. I don’t get stressed out because I don’t overdo the holidays. I spend them quietly with my husband and a few friends. We don’t even exchange gifts.

  149. I ended up in the ER last year the week before christmas because my heart was beating so irregular so this year I am trying to be pro active and get back into yoga – and I now have an anxiety medication I can take as needed.

  150. Yes, I am ready. It is much easier now that the kids are grown and moved out. I shop throughout the year so no last minute rush, I prepare my cards Thanksgiving weekend and never put my tree up until the week before Christmas. My free time is spent baking and making goodies! Thanks for the great giveaway 🙂

  151. I am ready for the holidays. They are usually laid back with the family, so not too much stress.

  152. Sometimes I just have to unwind with a book in a corner for a bit to unstress. (email is the same in rafflecopter as to comment)

  158. I handle the stress with a nice warm bath and some hot chocolate. I have been ready for the season.

    annabella @ centurytel dot net

  194. I am very ready. I handle the stress by just taking things one step at a time and not getting worried if things ddon’tgo as planned.

  196. I am ready for the holiday season. I love spending time with my family. We try to keep it as stress free as possible and just enjoy time with one another.

  198. I am ready for the season. I fill my freezer with meals during October so I do not have to worry about cooking during December.

  200. I’m not ready for the holidays. I haven’t put up the tree yet now have I done any Christmas Shopping. Times are hard this year with losing my job. I’m not going to stress about gifts I just want to spend quality time with my family. Jesus Is The Reason For the Season!!!!

  201. I just don’t bother anymore. That’s how it makes it easier on me. Sad to say, but I’m so many years of being the person who pushes sometimes you just have enough

  202. I shop for and make gifts all year long – it makes the “crunch time” easy and you can find sale & clearanced items that way!

  204. I shop for and make gifts throughout the whole year, it makes the hectic holiday crunch easy and I find deals on every gift this way.

  205. I’m always under stress, doesn’t matter what the season it, lol. I like to take 20 min breaks all to myself when I need them.

  215. I love the holiday season. I do a lot outside to handle the stress.
    timothy j 228 AT gmail DOT com

  218. I’m not ready! Have cleaning to do before Thanksgiving, & I dread bringing down all those boxes of Christmas decorations after Thanksgiving! It’s a pain in the back, among other places!

  219. i try not to actually treat it as different from any other time of year

  220. I’m not ready but I try to have fun with loved ones and not stress too much, if I do get stressed a treat like dark chocolate helps.

  221. Remember that it’s not about the gifts, it’s about spending time with the family and enjoying the company. And by keeping a bottle of excedrin in my purse at all times lol

  222. I just don’t let myself stress about the holidays. Holidays are about spending time with the people you love and having fun. There is no reason to stress. Money is tight, and society’s emphasis on gift giving can make me feel down sometimes, but as long as the kiddos in the family have a few things under the tree and we have a nice meal to eat, that’s all that matters! And I have no doubt that God will provide exactly that!

  223. I am not ready for the season. When I get stressed, I read (which is a lot!),

  229. I love the holidays but am already stressing this year.I normally have most of my shopping done or at least the money saved but due to vehicle issues have nothing done or saved.I am just not going to let it get to me and plan to do some baking and crafts with my 4 kids to help me relax.
    lstanziani(at)yahoo(dot)com

  230. I’m ready! I kicked it off with holiday shoppingin NYC, but I didn’t bring hand sanitizer and I came home sick

  231. I am ready for the season but I get way stressed out during it. I don’t handle stress well and end up with headaches.

    kport207 at gmail dot com

  232. I love Christmas time. I try to avoid getting stressed out by doing some shopping online so I can avoid crowded stores and long lines. I also stay home on black Friday and just enjoy time with family.

  237. I am not ready for the season at all! I know it is going to be stressful but I will try to schedule some me time each day to de-stress.

  238. I’m still looking for work so Christmas is going to be a little tough, but we will stay positive!

  239. I’m ready for the season because it kind of feels like it isn’t here yet. It came so fast and will probably blow by so quick. I try to have as much fun as possible. I deal with stress by working out everyday. It really helps.

  240. I handle the stress by taking a nap. I lay down every day even if I don’t sleep.

  241. Usually I cannot wait for the holidays, I love all of the shopping, wrapping and giving. This year I will be out of commission for most of it, so not really excited.

  242. I love holidays!! I am always ready!!The baking, buying, wrapping, decorating.. everything!

  243. I don’t feel like I’ve handled it until its over, but it goes by so fast.

  246. I’m not feeling it yet. As it gets closer I’m sure I will. My two little grandsons always make the season exciting for me. I am going to try not to stress over not enough money or time this year.

  248. I try not to get too stressed during the holidays but when I do, I cook! It eases my mind and comforts my soul. I do get a lot of stress headaches tho and I do think many people – like myself – wait too long before they take an excedrin or other pain reliever. This causes more pain, more stress and a worse headache! I’m starting to learn how to throw my tough gal ego aside and just take something to help… Especially when you’re as busy as I am!

  249. Yes I am ready for the Holidays and I handle it by going with the flow I don’t worry much about it I go at my own pace if it happens it happens!!

  251. I’m not ready, because I’ve been battling a cold. I have to take a deep breath and do the best I can to get it all done!

  252. I am somewhat ready but this time of year is very stressful to me..I stress over the cooking,buying gifts and being stuck inside through the winter but I do love spending the time with my wonderful family 🙂

  254. Living in S. TX means not a whole lot of change to the season; just more days with the AC turned off. As for celebrating the holidays…I find myself alone this year so I am just going to let then slide by as someone else’s problems. I prefer to ignore them this year.

  255. I just handle any stress by thinking about the rewards it brings

  257. I try to have everything on an organized schedule and shop sales to deal with presents.

  259. Unfortunately, I don’t look forward to the holidays, so naturally I’m not ready for them. It doesn’t help that Thanksgiving this year falls on the 28th, which was my brother’s birthday (he passed from cancer the year I got married) and the anniversary of a good friend of mine passing. I do still try to make things good for my daughters, though, and look forward to seeing my sister and her family.

  260. Not really.. I try and wash my hands a lot.. drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep.

  262. I make sure I do a big cleaning before the holidays to help reduce the stress during the holidays.

  264. Not remotely ready yet. I worry about being able to get everyone gifts that I’d like to.

  266. I am not ready for the holidays! I try not to wait till last minute but i end up doing that every year!

  270. In terms of reducing stress, we actually live near two of our relatives so we take the kids to stay with us so that the big get together place can be kept ready and clean for the big events of the holidays. onetime AT emethod DOT com

  271. I just try to get all shopping done early so I don’t have stress!

  273. I’m not ready for the season. I don’t handle stress that well

  275. I’m always glad to get the Holidays over with. I find it as a financial stress.

  277. I am done with my Christmas shopping now all I have to do is wrap gifts and I love to wrap. I get things done early so I do not have to stress over anything.

  279. I handle stress well not that I like it. I would love to have a bit more fun.

  280. definitely not ready this year! ahh! stressing out … we’re taking a big vacation that i didn’t properly budget for (we don’t usually) … so it’s very hectic and not at all fun at the moment. ehhn. my own fault.

    looking forward to december and christmas tho! should be good!

  285. I try not to over schedule our family and I’m trying to get as much done before December as I can!

  287. I just try to enjoy the holiday season, with as little stress as possible and take breaks whenever needed. Thanks.

  289. I love the season just take things one event/day at a time and if things get too crazy cuddle up with some hot chocolate and a christmas movie 😉

  290. Thanks for the giveaway… we rotate our big holiday dinners-parties-get togethers among a group of extended family & friends so that no one gets “stuck” every year (with an inordinate amount of guest induced stress) !

  291. If I start to stress out I try to calm down and myself that the Holidays are not supposed to be stressful. But they are supposed to be fun and joyous filled with great experiences with family and friends. 🙂

  294. I am not ready but I try not to stress too much about it. I just try to enjoy every moment I have with my family.

  297. I actually handle the winter season best. My outlook on life is like a monk’s or a Buddhist. My boss says I am low maintenance. I put my mind at ease and don’t stress out. Since having surgery for colon cancer I have slowed down and appreciate life more.

  299. I always fill a little plastic tote full of OTC meds & flu supplies & have it ready!

  300. It’s fun preparing for the holidays. And I enjoy de-stressing with my family, watching tv and movies together at night.

  301. About as ready as I’m gonna be I guess. Stressed out from working all the time!

  303. I’m ready, only because there won’t be much shopping to do. I used to handle the stress with lots of hot baths and hot chocolate after long days.

  304. Spending time with friends and family is always a stress reliever!
