Deerfield, Illinois based drugstore Walgreens announced the launch of Happy And Healthy, Your Guide To Living Well With Walgreens, which debuts on Sunday, November 4. The magazine will be issued bi-annually, and the première edition is holiday-themed and includes entertaining and gift ideas, as well as Taylor Swift on the cover. The high-quality, glossy, 28-page magazine will be available in English and Spanish. In NYC the magazine replaces the popular Duane Reader, but I have to say it lacks the personality, relevance and sense of humor of the Duane Reader.<br/>
The magazine delivers content, such as healthy living tips, relevant offers and Balance Rewards loyalty program promotions to its readers. It also provides a unique way to highlight Walgreens private brands. This issue includes a two-page spread on their newest Private Brand “Ology” the brand was created by the NYC based branding agency CBX. The new line of healthy household products combines the best of green, organic and natural with a modern text based visual language that rethinks the cliched traditional category focused language of green.

“We are thrilled to bring Happy and Healthy magazine to our customers, and we look forward to providing them with relevant information and articles to help them get, stay and live well,” said Joe Magnacca, president of daily living products and solutions for Walgreens. “Walgreens is constantly innovating and Happy and Healthy is a great way to keep our customers informed of our latest Private Brand offerings.”
