Back to School Cold Prevention Tips
This month we held our first Twitter Chat to talk Back to School health, beauty and fitness routines. If you missed it, search #SnapBackToSchool on Twitter to see what our Twitter friends had to say!
Our first topic was Back to School Colds, and how to prevent germs from coming into the house. With cold season just around the corner, and kids hanging out with friends on the regular, it's only natural that colds will be coming into our homes. Here's what our Twitter friends had to say about cold prevention in their homes:
