Hello lovelies! How y'all been? Can you believe it's almost November? Um, time sure does fly, right? Fall is HERE and winter is quickly approaching which means the cold (and flu) season is almost upon us! Yikes! I loathe the cold and flu season, don't you? It's HORRENDOUS!! Being sick isn't pleasant and it truly sucks!! Tired of being sick? Um, who isn't right? Just because your family is SICK, doesn't mean you have to get sick, too! YAY! There's hope. By practicing a little proactive prevention — you'll be able to keep yourself healthy during the cold and flu season. And, one of the most easiest and effective ways to stay healthy during the fall and winter months is to thoroughly wash your hands. When you're out and about during the fall and winter — that's when germs seem to flourish and it isn't difficult to pick them up by touching things like grocery carts, door knobs and telephones. Pretty scary, right? The easiest way to keep those nasty little germs from entering your body is to prevent them from moving from your hands to your nose, mouth OR eyes — which are the TOP areas where the germs love to invade your body.

To stay on top of the cold and flu during the winter and fall, there's a wonderful little tool that predicts when the cold and flu will reach your area. How cool, right?

Cold and flu season has always been unpredictable. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), although epidemics of cold and flu happen every year, the timing, severity, and length of the season varies from one year to another. That means that the cold and flu can hit your family without warning, and if you aren’t prepared with cold and flu essentials like Kleenex Everyday Tissue, you might be left scrambling and playing catch up after sickness has entered your home.

Plus, it helps prevent the spread of germs, which we're all trying to steer clear of, right?
