Healthy Swellness: Learn about the flu during the Shoppers Drug Mart Tweet Chat on Tuesday, October 22!

(Sponsored)

There are more myths about the flu shot than Taylor Swift breakup songs (and we all know how many of those there are!). What’s the truth, though? Well, take part in the Shoppers Drug Mart #letstalkflu Tweet Chat on Tuesday, October 22, 2013, from 7PM to 8PM and find out (and have the chance to win a prize!).

I’ll be participating — I’ll admit it, I haven’t always gotten the flu shot, but now wouldn’t dream of not getting it after having learned more about it.

What’s the Tweet Chat involve? Well, Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacist Victor Wong will be moderating the chat. Can the flu shot give the flu? Is there anyone who shouldn’t get the shot? He will take questions and dispell misconceptions. So #letstalkflu!

Plus, there are prizes to be won for people who take part in #letstalkflu. There are five prizes to be won, and each prize (valued at more than $150 each) consists of a Shoppers Drug Mart Cold & Flu Defence Kit (that’s it above!), which has:

• a humidifier
• Life Brand hand sanitizer
• Vapo Rub
• a digital thermometer
• sugar-free cough drops
• facial tissue
• Vitamins C and D
• Simply Food Chicken Noodle Soup
• a $50 SDM gift card

(Sound familiar? Yes, it’s the same prize I’ve giving away — have you entered yet? Anyhow, if you don’t win one from me, you can win one of five by participating in the Tweet Chat #letstalkflu!)

Go ahead and follow @shopprsdrugmart on Twitter if you are not already so you’re all set for Tuesday, and pencil in Tuesday at 7PM!

‘Health & Swellness’ Swellness: My Digital Detox feature in Glow magazine

In November, I gave up social media, texting and personal emails for ONE WHOLE WEEK.

Was it torture? Did I snap under pressure and tweet? How on earth does one keep in touch sans texting?!? To find out how it went and what I learned about FOMO, you’ll just have to pick up the March 2013 issue of Glow!
