Whiten Your Teeth Professionally at Home #smartsmile



It seems everyone is seeking bright white teeth to achieve that gleaming Hollywood smile. So many things we eat and drink can stain our teeth. Expensive toothpastes and polishes, which in some cases actually erode and damage the enamel surface of the teeth can do more harm than good. Expensive bleach kits, not to mention professional dentists using powerful ultraviolet light is costly and time consuming. 

  
I have used teeth whitening strips.
I didn't notice that much of a difference and the slime they left wasn't the most pleasant.
I haven't tried any "tray kits" 
Not that I haven't been intrigued, but concerned regarding whether they actually worked or not for their price. I have sensitive teeth, and although the strips didn't bother me it seems the trays would be stronger, which made me nervous to try them.


 I was asked to review
 and I have to admit I was excited to try them. 


This kit comes with whitening gel, applicator syringes and mouth trays to whiten your teeth. Simply apply the included gel to the mouth trays and apply to your teeth for between 5 and 15 minutes each day.

You need to fit the trays to your specific teeth,
 you do so by placing them in very hot water for several seconds then place in mouth. It was not uncomfortable, I sucked out the extra water and air and they formed to my teeth with no problems. The directions are easy to follow.
Each tray has a tab, I was concerned with getting
 them mixed up so I marked them by putting
 a T on the top one and a B on the bottom.


The only thing I had difficulty with was
 the amount to put in the tray.
The directions say to add .05cc to the tray.
The syringes have ml measurements.
With Math not being my strong suit
I looked up the conversion on the net.
Well, the egg in on my face, they equal the same.

I feel they need to have the same measurements
on the syringes as in the directions.
It would certainly avoid any confusion.


I left them in for 15 minutes while I checked my email,
with no ill effects. I could feel the gel bubbling,
 I suspect it was the peroxide.

After taking them out, I rinsed my mouth
and it was left feeling fresh. 

I did the treatment for 3 days in a row.
I noticed some sensitivity on my gums,
so I took a few days off.


You can see they have whitened.
I plan to continue using them after my gums feel better.
 


Key features include:
-Uses dentist-grade professional whitening gel.
-Includes applicator syringes, top and bottom mouth trays, and whitening gel.
-Thermoform trays are adaptable to fit a range of mouth sizes; simply submerge in warm water and fit to your teeth.
-Easy to use; simply apply gel to trays and insert for between 5 and 15 minutes each day.
-Contains 35% carbamide peroxide gel for fast whitening.
-Begins whitening from first treatment, and whitens a few shades within days.
-No sour after taste
-30-day money back guarantee no questions asked 


  
Smartsmile Professional Teeth Whitening Kit
 can be found on Amazon. 


  I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free or a discounted  price from Smartsmile .  Regardless, I only recommend products or
services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I'm Fighting Wrinkles Kicking And Screaming!! #hydratingantiwrinkleserum



I started using Alice Nouveau Hydrating Anti-Wrinkle Serum about a week ago. I am surprised at the results I am already seeing!
This serum has a formula of premium ingredients and natural extracts which work to help combat the most common signs of aging. The serum blends a high concentrate of 2.5% Retinol to reduce fine lines and even skin tone.


Retinol is the only beauty ingredient with studied and proven results. Retinol is designed to improve skin texture, fade spots and improve wrinkles.
How you say?
Retinol works on a molecular level to repair skin and stimulate collagen, resulting in firmer, smoother, wrinkle-free skin and continues providing better results the longer you use it. Retinol is the #1 dermatologist-recommended anti-aging ingredient for a reason, because it works!

Hyaluronic Acid, together with Green Tea, Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil deliver anti aging and hydrating benefits, as well as, reduce dark spots and clogged pores.

Alice Nouveau Hydrating Anti-Wrinkle Serum is chemical free which is gently absorbed and free from irritating alcohols, parabens, and sulphates.

Manufactured in the USA in an FDA approved facility and comes with risk-free 60-day money back guarantee.



I really like the way the ''pump'' fits my finger, one gentle push and it dispenses the amount I need.

It seems to come out thicker than other brands I've tried,

 but upon applying it seems to melt right into my skin.

 It leaves a very mild fresh scent and absolutely no stickiness.

I wash my face, apply the Hydrating Anti-Wrinkle Serum, then my moisturizer.  I do this morning and night.

I also use it on my neck, and décolletage.
I have used Retinol Serums before but I was surprised at how quickly I saw and felt results with Alice Nouveau Hydrating Anti-Wrinkle Serum. My skin feels softer, more hydrated and has plumped up filling in some of those pesky wrinkles. Now on to those age spots, which I know will take a bit more time, although I do believe they do seem a tad bit lighter already!

Alice Nouveau Hydrating Anti-Wrinkle Serum a definite must
for younger looking skin!
As a side note: Use sunscreen daily as Retinol increases sun sensitivity. For first time users, apply every other night for first few weeks until skin adjusts.

You can find Alice Nouveau Hydrating Anti-Wrinkle Serum
 on Amazon.

Relax Body and Mind #deadseasalt


Stressful
That's the only word that describes these last few weeks. There's been new health issues with the kids and we have literally had doctor appointments everyday.
I understand stress headaches, but body aches? I'm sitting in waiting rooms after all, not strenuous work by any means.

When I received Adovia Dead Sea Bath Salts  it was the end of the day, I headed to my bathroom and drew a warm bath. Added Adovia Dead Sea Bath Salts  to the water which dissolved rather quickly along with a few drop of Lavender essential oil. Lit some candles, stepped in, closed my eyes and went on a mental vacation.
After my bath I noticed not only was my headache gone, my body felt better and surprisingly my skin felt so soft. I rarely have time for soaking but with what is coming up medically for my children I anticipate making more time for them.
Adovia Dead Sea Bath Salts  also make for great scrubs.
I got about a palm full, added enough fractionated coconut oil to make a paste and scrubbed my feet. They felt smoother and most of the dead skin had sloughed off. You could add your favorite essential oil to the scrub also.
Adovia Dead Sea Bath Salts come in a resealable 1.75 pound bag making it very convenient to retrieve the amount you need and seal the bag back up to keep any moisture from getting inside.
 

  What the company would like you to know about their product:

Grandfather Had a Secret Hobby


It appears his hands were never idle.
What a treasure he has created.
His family never knew what he did with his free time,
but this grandfather had a secret hobby.
He had been spending hours hand carving
wooden creations that are so detailed and perfect,
 it's hard to believe they're even real.
All of these machines were crafted by hand.

A lot of them are construction related. 


 Look at the level of detail on that engine!

They look like they could be working models, don't they?


Can you image the amount of time spent
crafting these tiny gears.


Inside one of the model work stations,
he even put a radio and television set.









The golf clubs are absolutely perfect.




I love the label stickers and
the mud flaps on this one.


He must have been a very humble man to keep
 this secret to himself for so long.
It was very recently that his grandson
and his grandson's friend decided to photograph
       and share these creations with the rest of the world.
