Stay Healthy with the Vicks Cold & Flu Survival Guide {Vicks Behind Ear Thermometer Giveaway}

Ah, 2013, the year that the Mayans thought wouldn't exist.

Fortunately, we're all still here and this year is already shaping up to have some marked events. Astronomers are on the lookout for the brightest comet seen in many generations, gamers are eagerly anticipating the release of the Xbox 720 and Playstation 4, and the whole world will be on pins and needles waiting for the first glimpse of William and Kate's baby.

Unfortunately, 2013 could also represent the strongest nationwide outbreak of influenza in a decade — and experts say the season is only getting started now. Even worse, now that holidays are winding down, infectious disease experts expect another surge following the family get-togethers with all the sharing of food and affection.

What a way to head into the New Year, right?

Fortunately, there are companies that care and want to help.

The most recent partnership that I have learned about is Vicks teaming up with the non-profit charity Baby Buggy (founded by Jessica Seinfeld) and the promise to distribute $25,000 worth of cold and flu products to U.S. families in need.

Along with all of their high quality, convenient and safe products that can help keep your family healthy or make them feel better, Vicks also has a Cold & Flu Survival Guide that can help us make it through this season of sniffles and coughs.

Filled with great tips from pediatrician and American Academy of Pediatrics fellow, Dr. Jennifer Trachtenberg, this Guide just might help us make it through to spring without finding ourselves laid up in bed with the flu.

But, there's more!

First, for every email, Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest share of the Cold & Flu Survival Guide, Vicks will donate a Vicks Behind Ear Thermometer and Starry Night Humidifier to Baby Buggy (which is dedicated to providing U.S. families in need with essential items for their children). With the quick links right on the side, sharing of the Guide couldn't be much easier — as well as for a better cause!

Second,Vicks wants to help your family as well. Everyone who visits their Cold & Flu Survival Guide can easily sign up to win their own Vicks Starry Night Humidifier simply by entering their name and email address between now and March 1, 2013!

Be sure to head over to the Vicks Cold & Flu Survival Guide to support this wonderful initiative as well as sign up to win one of these functional and fun humidifiers!

And, thanks to the generosity of Vicks, one person will be prepared to battle upcoming colds quickly and easily, because...

One lucky person will win a
Vicks Behind Ear Thermometer V980 (ARV $49.99)!
