Giveaway Swellness: Win tickets to the SMUT Soiree in Toronto

One of the hottest tickets in Toronto this month? The SMUT Soiree, that pop-culture celebrity gossip panel discussion, hosted by Lainey Gossip – and it’s already sold out!

But hold up! If you missed your chance to get tickets, don’t weep, ladies, because you can enter to win a pair of tickets to the Toronto SMUT Soiree from Health & Swellness!

And because I’ll be traveling that week and missing out on the smutty fun (boo for me!), I’m giving away my pair of tickets, too! So that makes two prizes up for grabs!

Besides the pair of tickets, you’ll also score a package from the official wine sponsor of the SMUT Soiree, Jacob’s Creek Moscato (total value of the prize including the tickets is about $150). So you get to walk the red carpet and gobble up the juicy celeb gossip, and go home with some sweet swag.

*Please note you must be 19 years of age or older to attend the SMUT Soiree.

There are four ways to enter – enter all four ways to increase your chances of winning:

3. Comment on this blog post about which celebrity you want to hear dished about at the SMUT Soiree.
4. Like the Health and Swellness page on Facebook and comment on the SMUT Soiree wall post about the celeb you love hearing juicy gossip about.

If seeing great bods make us envious, why do we pore over magazine articles that just make us feel sad?

I want Halle Berry’s arms.

Sigh. (I’m looking at my majorly-in-need-of-toning arms as I type this)

So why would I pore over a magazine with pics of Ms Berry if it only leaves me feeling dejected? 

Well, a new study published in Media Psychology has revealed why we still read beauty and health mags even though the super fit, gorgeous celebs may leave us feeling depressed: When accompanied with articles that promise we, too, can look like that, we’ll keep on reading.

(OK, yes, I suppose I should note that I’ve written these very types of articles…sorry!)

But when not accompanied by these how-to articles, we’ll tend to avoid looking at these envy-inducing pics. (BTW, these findings are with regard to people who are dissatisfied with their bodies btw–those people who are satisfied with their bods, their reading habits don’t fluctuate).
