Culturelle Probiotic + Prebiotic Gummies are a game changer for my teen

Our teen has had a few digestive issues and last year after many tests, we got to the bottom of them and turns out, his issues were all resolvable. The only digestion maintenance he needs is to be on probiotics and drink water more often now that we treated his ailments. Other that a beef/dairy sensitivity, he can eat normal foods. The problem was, he kept forgetting (actually avoiding) taking bis prebiotics. He hated the large pills. Then we found gummies. The Culturelle® Probiotic + Prebiotic Gummies are a game changer!

They don’t have an awkward texture and they taste great! We all know a lot of gummy supplements are loaded with sugar for taste, not these! You have less than 1g of sugar in a serving of 2 gummies a day. This is because they use fruit pectin rather than gelatin and a sugar coating.

These Culturelle Probiotic + Prebiotic Gummies are formulated with 2 billion CFUs of good bacteria and are gluten-free, dairy free, vegan and non-GMO. You do not need to keep refrigerated, so they travel well with you. Culturelle has many digestive and immunity supplements for baby, child and adults.

The Moso Natural Air Purifying, Odor Absorbing Bag For Your Refrigerator 

Erin Sluka

This little bag not only helps produce stay fresh longer, but it helps keep odors away for up to 2 years in your fridge, freezer, cooler or lunch bag. Just hang in the fridge or toss in a cooler to purify the space around your food, naturally.

This is the Moso Refrigerator & Freezer Odor Eliminator and it uses ionically charged moso bamboo charcoal to actively capture odors, moisture and ethylene gas. When ethylene gas is released from fruit and veggies it accelerates the ripening process and soon after these foods are not the best for eating and cooking with. This bag slows that process by absorbing this gas so your fruits and veggies don’t.

It even comes with a suction so you can easily hang it in your fridge to save shelf space. To help it last the 2 years for freshness, just set the bag in the sun for 1 hour once a month to keep the charcoal active. These are a must for every cold space. Visit the moso natural store for bamboo charcoal products for your home.

Synopsis

Cincinnati, Ohio, lives and dies by college basketball, with two elite Division I rivals separated by a mere three miles. Rory’s dad just secured a new coaching gig at the University of Cincinnati, so it means yet another school and move for her, only this time to her dad’s hometown. Rory’s life revolves around basketball; she’s never had a close friend outside of it. Could this be a chance for a fresh start?

Abby has always lived in Cincinnati, where her dad grew up playing ball and now coaches at Xavier University. But Abby has recently retreated from basketball after a frustrating season that left her confidence in shambles. This year, she finds herself on the outside looking in when it comes to her former teammates, and she could seriously use a new friend.    

The coaches’ daughters connect over their shared love of the game when Abby chaperones Rory on her first day of school. But when Abby’s dad practically forbids their friendship because of something that happened between him and Rory’s dad when they were younger, Abby and Rory have no choice but to move their budding friendship underground.

Can the two of them get to the bottom of what went down between their dads in the 1990s before history repeats itself?
