SMILE BRILLIANT IS ELECTRIC

 Hey ya’ll! It’s been awhile since I’ve written a blog post, but this was just too good not to share!!! I have worked with Smile Brilliant in the past on their whitening kit and I can not say enough great things about this company!!! Here’s a link to the whitening post if you are interested > SMILE BRIGHTER WITH SMILE BRILLIANT! It’s the first whitening kit that worked for me in a fast amount of time, causing little to no sensitivity!!! This time, I got to try out their electric tooth brush (cariPRO Ultrasonic electric toothbrush), and it’s just as amazing!!!! I had my first cavity last month (caused by pregnancy, they think) so when I got the chance to try out this electric toothbrush, I jumped on it!!! I’ve always been a manual toothbrush user, and I’m starting to think I was crazy not to invest in an electric toothbrush sooner! Especially when I read all the benefits that go hand in hand with electric toothbrush use. Maybe I wouldn't of gotten the cavity during pregnancy if I had been using a toothbrush that provided great gum care?! Y’all are probably way ahead of me in the game, but I’m so obsessed!!!! If you are still using a manual toothbrush like I was, it's time for a change!!!
& HERE IS WHY
>>>>>>
cariPRO Ultrasonic Electric Toothbrush

                            1. Removes up to 7x more plaque than a manual toothbrush

                            2. Improves gum health in 2 weeks

                            3. 2x whiter teeth in just a single week

                            4. Comfortable to hold

                            5. Simple to use

                            6. Waterproof

Not to mention, it's GORGEOUS! Just look at that electric toothbrush in the image above!!! I'm in love! Soooo chic! Looks way better than any of my manual toothbrushes!!! One reason I never looked into using an electric toothbrush was because they have to be connected to a charger.

Worried about having to charge it often, well don't be, it holds a charge for up to 30 days! Like what?!!! I've used it twice a day for the past two weeks and haven't even taken the charger out of the box! How awesome is that?!!! I always thought when using an electric toothbrush I would have to leave the charger out on the counter the whole time, this is not the case!!!

Lastly, the cariPRO Ultrasonic electric toothbrush comes with 5 user settings: clean, white, massage, gum care, and sensitive. Here is a brief description on how each setting worked for me! Clean, is your basic setting, it feels like using a manual toothbrush, only better!!! It leaves me feeling so fresh and so clean! It's like walking out of a dentist appointment! Who knew??!! The whitening setting works a little harder than the clean setting, because it's trying to you know, whiten your teeth :) I have noticed my teeth look a little whiter this week and I am loving it!!! Coffee stains, BE GONE! The whitening setting is harder, but it did not irritate my mouth and I have a very sensitive mouth. I do not use this setting every day though because I believe it's important to give your mouth a break! Massage, this setting is AMAZING! At first, it was the strangest feeling I had ever felt in my mouth, but thats because I didn't know what I was missing!!! It's literally doing exactly what it says, MASSAGING! My gums are extremely sensitive (like bleed every time I brush) and the massage setting and gum care setting have decreased the bleeding significantly!!! The sensitive setting is so gentle on the mouth and is one of my favorite brushing options!!!

GAMEDAY READY

 

 Are you GAMEDAY ready?!!! I am, I am!!! As most of you know, I LOVE FOOTBALL! It's the best thing about Fall!!!! I have been collecting cute black gameday outfits all summer long!!! I wanted to give you all a little football background because I post 3 different gameday attire on my Instagram! I'm from SC soooo I was born & raised a GAMECOCK fan. I honestly don't think it's possible for me to ever love a team more. GO COCKS!!! We moved out of state, to NC before college & my parents wanted me to look at Universities in NC. I knew I wanted a degree in Fashion Merchandising, so I chose ECU! I will always have school spirit & cheer for them whenever they are playing (except when they are playing USC). Plus, I think PURPLE & GOLD are such cute school colors!!! Lastly, I am an NC State fan because my husband was born & raised in Raleigh, NC & attended NC State University. We currently live in Raleigh, NC so we go to almost every NC State home game!!!! This year we will even be heading to Clemson for the NC State vs. Clemson game & I'm soooo pumped to watch Clemson lose (well one can dream)!!! It's just a good thing both USC & NC State have black in their school colors, or I'd be broke! I just have to change out the accessories between garnet & red & voila!!! I love all 3 teams & I love getting dressed up for games!!! Bring on FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!
