So I just learned something new.
Did you know that the Monday of the last full week in January is called Blue Monday and is considered the most depressing day of the year? That’s this Monday – January 20 for those that are wondering when exactly you need to be depressed.
The reason for Blue Monday?
- The holidays are over.
- Credit card bills have arrived.
- We’re back to 5-day work weeks.
- New Year’s resolutions have failed.
So basically, we are all doomed this week.
Luckily I love Clif Bars. And even more luckily, they contacted me and want to give FIVE readers Clif Bar packs with their “Banish Blue Monday Woes with Clif Bar” promotion.
Clif recommends taking your workout outdoors for new motivation because it helps concentration, productivity, and releases endorphins to boost your mood. Or if you’re in a blizzard, get on the treadmill and I’ll post some Orlando pictures for you to look at longingly. That should help.
See? You’re feeling better already.
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment. You get an extra entry for tweeting about it. (Remember to enter with the Rafflecopter after you do.)
Giveaway ends at midnight on Thursday.

I loves some cliff bars baby!
Is it terrible that I’ve never heard of these bars?
Then you’re their target audience. Getting new people addicted to the goodness!
I love Clif Bars almost as much as I love Charlie Hunnam.
I loooove cliff bars!
I love clif bars!
I get Monday off for MLK day, so I don’t plan on being depressed about that. However, I suppose I can muster up some depression over my bum knee and the fact that you don’t get to come to Killeen for work anymore.
P.S. Love the new ‘do!
I too have Monday off, but since it’s 12 here in the CLE, I need some blues-busting.
I’ve actually never had a Clif bar, but I see them everwhere.
(winnnnnnnnnnnnning?)
My husband and I love Clif bars. Maybe a little too much! Haha
Yum! I’ve eaten these on and off for the last 5 years and am in need of more!
FOOD I LIKE FOOD GIVE ME FREE FOOD ME SO HUNGRY
I have no reason to be depressed this Monday, I might have to work, but I get paid overtime because it’s a holiday. And then I don’t have to go to school the next day, because of said holiday.
I feel like this isn’t open to non-US people… but hey, worth a shot! Any excuse to get out side and eat more!
The Clif peeps are sending these out and didn’t give me any restrictions, so I think you’re good!
Clif bars, the food that’s always in my purse.
Love, love, love Clif bars. They are part of my snack routine before a half marathon!
This Monday is massage Monday, so I’ll be feeling good. It has been more than 10 years since I last ate a Cliff bar. Maybe I’ll win and give them another try.
My husband and I LOVE clifbars. Hope I win! Thanks for the giveaway!
This makes perfect sense because January 20 = last day of my 20s. *tear*
Shoot, I’ve been depressed every Monday in January so far. I didn’t realize I was supposed to hold off until tomorrow.
LOVE me some Clif Bars! The “new” Sierra Trail Mix flavor is awesome
Love clif bars !!
Would love to try these…thanks for the giveaway!
I’m off Monday for MLK day, so I will disagree with the blue Monday assessment! A cliff bar would make anyone’s day better!
I have blue Monday off work (happy MLK day, kids). For me, the real blue Monday is next week…that’s when five day work weeks start big time. That’s when I’ll need a Clif!
Love Clif bars! The chocolate chip and blueberry bliss are my favorites!
Are Canadians eligible?! ‘Cause I want!!!! It’s not even Monday yet and I’m already blue in anticipation.
Never tried these but would love to!
Having equally awful weather in California as Orlando. Will likely be depressed in summer when I have to take three minute showers…
I love Clif bars! Actually Clif anything. They are how I fuel for my races.
I’m addicted to Luna bars but I keep meaning to pick up some Cliff bars since it’s been ages since I’ve had one. So, pick and feed me!! Maybe I’ll even take one day off from complaining about running. Nah, probably not.
thanks 4 the giveaway!!
Clif Bar is an awesome company that makes a great product!
Mmmmm my favorites are peanut butter crunch! Delish.

Clif bars are yummy! Still make me think of Cliff Claven from Cheers though. 🙂

Clif Bars never disappoint me, especially on race day. They are THE BEST.

I thought Blue Monday was the first Monday in January? I could have sworn I saw that on TV since we were off that day because of the snow.
Anyway, I love Clif Bars too. White Chocolate Macadamia is my favorite.
