| Excedrin Migraine Relief Poster at Duane Reade New York City |
If just hearing those sleigh bells jinglin', ring ting tinglin' to is starting to make your head throb, and the stress of the upcoming cooking marathon that is Thanksgiving Day has your head aching and you feel a Migraine coming on, knowing what your actual triggers are is half the battle won. For some of us it's Stress, for others it's hunger, sleep deprivation and more.

The Event Kicked Off with Massages provided by Oasis Day Spa, I don't know about you, but a good massage definitely helps me relieve stress!

 |
| Meeting my Masseur! |
Getting Started!
 |
| Masseur at work! |
If you spend as much time in front of a computer as I do, your neck muscles probably get super stiff and sore too!
 |
| My Masseur has his work cut out for him, I hold a lot of tension in my shoulders! |
A sunny, breezy November Day, you can just start to feel the chill in the air, but a massage just makes this beautiful day in New York City that much better!
 |
| As you can see we had to spend quite a bit of time on my shoulders! |
By this time more of a crowd was starting to form, you know free massages in the heart of the shopping district is going to draw attention!
 |
| Ah! A little slice of Heaven in the City that never sleeps! |
Can't help but love being a New Yorker on a day like today!
 |
| All Smiles! I'm one happy butterfly! |
But I think this massage was to get us ready for what came next!
 |
| Reporters jockeying for positions! |
Jordin Sparks is not just a songbird with a beautiful voice, she is a Migraine sufferer too, no wonder she is the 'voice' of this campaign!
 |
| Ascending Butterfly hoists her Olympus Camera in the air and hopes for the best! |
Close but yet so far away! I got the top of her head, as she sings the song 'Faith' (A capella no less!)

As 'The Official #TwitterPartyDJ' I can assure you, it's not studio work on that voice, she can really belt it out!
|
 |
| Um, Did I mention I had to jump up on a platform for this shot? |
While events can be fun, it's not so fun or so easy jockeying with the pro-photographers for the perfect shot!

OK that killer smile made all the jockeying worth it!

Jordin Sparks heads off for one on one Media Interviews! Butterfly did good, if I do say so myself!
|
Team Excedrin's Street Crew handed out discount coupons for Excedrin Migraine to the crowd, so I headed over to the Duane Reade on 35th and Broadway with a few of the bloggers in attendance to check out the Excedrin Migraine display and do some shopping!
 |
| Looks like it's Aisle 3 for Pain Relief! |
I am sure we confused the poor store staff. A group of bloggers with Cameras is not an everyday occurence, not even in New York City!
 |
| Eureka! We found it! |
Is it just me, or are Migraines getting pretty expensive? Thank goodness for the discount coupon from the Excedrin crew! Thanks Excedrin!
 |
| Excedrin Migraine it is! |
Because of Hurricane Sandy followed by a NorEaster in the North East, all of my meetings and events got shifted to the following week (last week), I literally put in 16 hour days for 7 days last week, to say I was stressed was an under-statement, I can tell you I made sure to keep my Excedrin in my desk at work and at home and I also kept some in a pillbox in my purse too! There was no time for Yoga last week, so having something to treat a Migraine with me was super important!

| This was on the floor near the Excedrin Migraine Display in Duane Reade!
Parting is such sweet sorrow! I literally had to run from this event to another one but I had a great time with both team Duane Reade as well as team Excedrin! And I greatly enjoyed hearing Jordin Sparks sing, she has an amazing voice!
