Need a ‘Me Moment’? Enjoy the new Nestle Haagen Dazs Artisan Collection in your favorite flavor while you take a moment of some much-needed quiet time for yourself.
I am a firm believer in the importance of taking time for yourself. These ‘Me Moments’ are the ones where you spend time doing what you, and only you, truly enjoy doing in your quiet time.
A little self indulgence is good for the mind, body, heart and soul. Don’t you agree?
I know that Me Moments are likely different for everyone, but there’s always a common theme. It’s the one place where we personally find our inner peace and joy. And, we all need more of that.
Are you with me on this one?
So tell me, what is your ‘Me Moment’?
I know. Scary to think about, right? But, no worries if you don’t want to share…, I’ll go first. 🙂
Mine starts with quiet time, and a little self indulgence. Because I’m a huge fan of Haagen Dazs, their new Artisan Collection was the perfect ice cream to fill my ‘me time’.
Now, I know you have one! And you should totally share it by entering the Häagen Dazs #ArtisanFlavors Contest!

So, I told you I would go first, and I will. Are you ready for this?
For me, my ‘Me Moment’ always involves quiet time. As a career woman with a very busy, stressful and somewhat chaotic life, only quiet time, indulging in the things I love, will do. That means no television, no phone calls, no music – just peace, quiet and the sound of nature.
In truth, my favorite Me Moments are listening to leaves rustling, twigs cracking as the deer walk through the woods, hearing the birds chirp cheerful songs and the flutter of the wings of a Hummingbird flittering about.
For me, hearing nature with no additional distractions, is simply heavenly.
It’s in this moment, hectic life as we all know it, is completely, totally and utterly interrupted.
Often, it’s the little things that we don’t hear, that end up meaning a whole lot. And yet, we so often miss these important moments in the chaos of everyday life!
So friends, there you have it. That is my ‘Me Moment’. Indulging in quieter times. Oh, and ice cream. You simply can’t forget the ice cream!
There I am, chillin’ outside with just a piece of paper, a pen, a recipe idea and little bit of ice cream heaven. Believe it or not, but even my technology is put on hold.
These quiet, uninterrupted moments are where my inspiration comes from. You know all these blog posts, stories and recipes? =Me Moments. And Haagen Dazs helps me get there. To my happy place. 🙂
And, what I love about the new Haagen Dazs Artisan Collection is that they come in 5 amazing, rich, creamy and delectable flavors:
- HÄAGEN-DAZS® Artisan Collection Chocolate Caramelized Oat Ice Cream
- HÄAGEN-DAZS® Artisan Collection Tres Leches Brigadeiro Ice Cream
- HÄAGEN-DAZS® Artisan Collection Spiced Pecan Turtle Ice Cream
- HÄAGEN-DAZS® Artisan Collection Banana Rum Jam Ice Cream
- HÄAGEN-DAZS® Artisan Collection Ginger Molasses Cookie Ice Cream
Remember how I told you that I am a firm believer in taking time for yourself? Let’s just say I’ve had many of those lately, because I just had to try all 5 flavors.
No shortcuts. No compromises. No matter what. Just delicious indulgence.
You can find these delectable flavors at your local Walmart in the freezer section labeled Ice Cream.
Tell me readers – what flavor would you choose to enjoy in your Me Moment?
Enjoy!

Monica says
Okay…the image of some ‘me time’ with ice cream will not get out of my head now. Sounds wonderful. For me, it’s a quiet breakfast or lunch with a good book. Food and reading are my favorite me-time pastimes. : )
Kristi says
OMGosh Monica – I can feel it! I used to love reading. Seriously love it – and you’re right, it’s the best quiet time. And then…, I started a food blog. Hahahaha! You know what I’m sayin’. 😉

Me moment when i can made my niece and nephews enjoying any veggies infused dish i’ve made for them…..
and a simply smile of patients right after my treatments…
Kristi says
Awesome Dedy! What a great thought. Thanks for sharing!
Marcie says
Your me moments sound just perfect — nature or listening to the water are always how I love to relax! Ice cream never hurts either, and since their are oats in one of those flavors that makes it healthier right? I definitely need to try this ice cream!
Kristi says
You and me both Marcie! Give me some running water (especially a stream or a pebbly river, and I”m love forever. p.s. you will love this ice cream – it’s perfect for quiet time. 🙂
Shikha @ Shikha la mode says
We all need some moments just for ourselves, and ice cream makes that moment so much better!
Kristi says
Yes Shikha! I am so with you. And, I think of all the times I’m totally exhausted – and yet those moments by yourself are so important! Have a great weekend!
Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella says
This weekend I’m going to do a Me Moment weekend with some girlfriends! We’re going to have treatments, afternoon tea and learn the art of perfume making. We might just have to buy some ice cream to go along with it 😀
Kristi says
That sounds heavenly Lorraine! I wish I were joining you! Have an incredible time!
[email protected] in the Kitchen says
Oh I have never seen these before. I am going to have to head over to walmart to check them out. I am liking the sound of the Tres Leches one, or the caramel one. Which was your favorite Kristi??
Kristi says
The Tres Leches was absolutely delicious, but our favorite (as voted by The Husband and I) was the Chocolate Caramelized Oat! So rich, creamy, chocolate-y with crunchy chunks of oat. You have to try them Renee! I think you’ll love them. 🙂
[email protected] says
Oh wow! All of those flavors sound amazing. It’s hard to pick just one, but I would have to go with the Chocolate Caramelized Oat. I’m all about quiet time, especially if there is ice cream involved. 🙂
Kristi says
GAH! I knew I loved you Christin, and not just because you love spicy food too! That was my favorite flavor too. Good call! Have a beautiful weekend!
Marissa | Pinch and Swirl says
These ice cream flavors have my mouth watering! And what better to do during ‘me time’ than indulge in a little ice cream. 🙂
Kristi says
I know, right Marissa! It sounds like a perfectly fabulous idea!
Oriana @Mommyhood's Diary says

Kristi says
Thank you Oriana! What a great post. And, it was fun to get to enjoy and eat all the ice cream. Hahaha!

Kristi says

Cailee @ http://hellohealthyeating.com says
Oh my gosh!! WOW!! These look amazing!! So fun and delicious! What neat flavors!! That oat one is so intriguing!!
Kristi says
You’d love the oat one Cailee! It had chunks of crunchy oat in it and chocolate. Try it! Have a great weekend!
Harriet Emily says
Taking time out for ourselves is so important, and it’s something we definitely don’t do enough of. Personally, I like to go out for a walk in the woods or meditate! Getting that time alone is so great to just calm my mind, and I always feel so much better afterwards. If I’m not able to do that though – then a big tub of ice cream is definitely the next best thing! Haagen Dazs is just so delicious, and their Artisan flavours sound incredible – I could definitely do with a scoop of their Ginger Molasses right now!!!
Kristi says
I am ssssoooo with you! I love, love, love a walk in the woods – and meditation and quiet time is good too. I feel great after I’ve just taken a step back in life and contemplated on the things that are really important. Ice cream – that’s a bonus! Have a wonderful weekend Harriet Emily!
