Happy 2012. The year of Celiac awareness!

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope ya'll had wonderful holidays with your family.. as well as healthy and safe :] First I'd like to apologize for being so absent the last month or so as I was dealing with some health issues. (those dang wisdom teeth) Good news, I am back and I am busting at the seams with excitement of new information, recipes, advice, and some great deals on gluten-free brands!

As the holidays come to an end, and the new year begins, most people make resolutions. I have always been that one person who doesn't make any resolution because, let's be honest.. I won't keep it and end up forgetting by the time Valentine's days rolls around. I only ever cared to make the new year, better than the year before. This year, I will say I turned a new leaf and decided that MY resolution would be to spread the word about Celiac Disease and the importance of Gluten-free cooking. A couple ways I plan to go about this is I want to volunteer with the Celiac Disease Foundation to help educate myself, as well as my followers (On my blog & on my Twitter). My lovely Mother has been helping me with ideas to spread awareness and she came up with the idea of making silicone bracelets. (Umm.. GREAT IDEA MOM!!!) Nick, Mom and I put our heads together to come up with a couple "catchy" phrases.. something that will get people to scratch their head and ask; "What does that mean??" How many people have asked YOU about your Celiac or even what Gluten-free means or what is Gluten? The 3 of us really liked G-Free for life. Then, we came up with 1 of 133 because 1 of 133 people have Celiac Disease but 98% are not  diagnosed. The bracelets are green (the color for Celiac Disease) with white writing so that everything stands out.



So.. you want a bracelet???
Here is the deal... the bracelets are already made, they have already been paid for. My family and I ARE NOT looking to make a profit on this, nor are we trying to collect money for them. If you want a bracelet, please e-mail me (faiiithy09@gmail.com) or Twitter me (@Supbro13) send me your address and I will send you a couple of bracelets. Our goal with theses bracelets like I said is to spread awareness about Celiac Disease and Gluten-free eating.
