Good perspective from a teenager on how it feels to be GF

I saw this video this morning and I love it! I am trying so hard to make sure Lauren doesn't feel like this, but I know it is inevitable that she will feel like this at some point. I know I feel like this at times, even as an adult. And as the holiday season approaches it's going to be in full force.
The video is only 3 minutes, and 3 minutes well spent.

Shakeology- delicious gluten free health drink!

 My friend Nickie is a personal trainer and health coach extraordinaire! She lives in Minnesota so I can't use her as a trainer but lucky for me, she sent me some samples of her latest health drink Shakeology! This shake is packed full of all sorts of amazing nutrients and proteins to help your body reach is maximum health. I've been following all Nickie's clients on facebook and the results I've seen are amazing! Her clients are losing inches off their waists, pounds off their bodies, and gaining energy!
  I tried the chocolate shake and added a frozen banana and a scoop of peanut butter and the drink was DELICIOUS! I drank it for breakfast and felt full until lunch. Kevin took a sip and agreed it was very tasty. We decided we liked it so much we are going to do Nickie's 10 day challenge too! We are super excited, we'll keep you posted on our progress. If you are interested check out her website at: 
www.myshakeology.com/nickiecarrigan or check her out on facebook under Nickie Carrigan. She is so friendly, motivating, and just a fabulous person so feel free to ask her any questions! 
I tried my best to get a picture of the ingredient label but it was hard to get a clear shot.
