Smile Brilliant!

Some time ago, the lovely folks at Smile Brilliant! contacted me about trying their at-home professional teeth whitening kit.  And, to be honest, I wasn't sure I wanted to try it.  You see, even though my smile is one of my favorite things about myself, I've always been hesitant to try teeth whitening due to my sensitive teeth.

But, the people at Smile Brilliant! aren't just lovely, they're smart.  Because they offer a desensitizing gel along with their whitening gel:

That gel right there was a life-saver for my sensitive teeth.  I can attest, from personal experience, that it really does help to desensitize your teeth so that you can whiten them.  How do I know?  Well, I tried my first session without the desensitizing gel, you know, for science, and I paid the price.  I could only whiten my teeth for half an hour before it became painful and remained painful for the next day or so.

For my second session, I got smart and used the desensitizing gel before using the whitening gel:

And it was perfect.  I was able to leave the whitening trays, customized to my mouth, in for an hour.  I probably could have left them in longer, but I wanted to limit how white my teeth got.  I've never been a fan of Chiclet-white teeth, so I only used the trays for a total of two hours over the course of a week.

The result?  Exactly what I wanted:


My teeth are whiter, but not ludicrously so.  (Well, obviously not, if they were ludicrous; they'd be plaid (my undying affection for whomever gets that reference)).  But, if you're into really, really white teeth, I have no doubt that Smile Brilliant! can provide that for you as well.  Again, I only used the trays for a total of two hours; if you want Chiclets, just leave the trays in longer.

If you're interested in professional teeth whitening at home, I highly recommend Smile Brilliant!  They offer their wonderful desensitizing gel and the custom trays at a fraction of the cost you'd pay to have your teeth professionally whitened.

Happy Wednesday, All!

Teeth

I thrifted the best t-shirt a couple of months ago but it took me forever to wear it.  It's just so good, I wasn't sure what to wear with it.  But, I finally figured it out:



And yes, it did take me forever to figure out what goes best with teeth is... more teeth:



I know, right?  Shark tooth + houndstooth = obviously awesome:


At least in my book.

Seriously, I loved this outfit.  The tee makes me unreasonably happy, as does the randomly-fringed 80s skirt:


Put them together and this outfit is the whole reason I shop at second-hand stores; I can get an outfit I love for about $10.  Which is why I'm linking up with Citizen Rosebud for #SECONDHANDFIRST.


Happy Friday, All!
