Chompers Challenge

Day 5

We're on the home stretch now. I did see a slight difference today in my teeth! My bottom teeth appeared whiter, and the yellow was getting lighter in certain areas near the back of my mouth. I'm happy to finally see some change! Here's hoping the next two days I see even more improvement! 

Anyone getting tired of my mouth? :)

 I really see improvement in the front and sides of my bottom teeth

Side Note: I will be posting more than once! So look for my manicure tutorial tomorrow along with the Chompers Challenge update!

Days 3 and 4

Okay, so as of today (day 4), I'm still not seeing much of a difference in my teeth. I can tell that in the very front of my bottom teeth, they are a bit whiter, but overall my teeth just seem..cleaner. Which is great! I'm satisfied that my mouth seems healthier and my plaque is gone. I guess only time will tell if this does anymore for my teeth! 

Here are some more lovely pictures of my teeth..don't be fooled, these are different pictures from before! 

Anyone else notice my lips are uneven? Now it's driving me crazy! haha!

They do seem maybe a bit whiter...

Catch ya tomorrow for a new post! :)

Sunday Announcement

As I sit in front of my computer, hot tea in hand, lounge clothes in full use, I begin my short post for the day. Realizing that Sunday's are usually a very nice day spent by going to church and then resting all day with my family, it became clear that the chances of me making a post here on Sunday's would be slim and none. That's why I have made the choice to make Sunday's a "no blog day". Whatever series I'm doing (ex. Chompers Challenge) will be updated the following Monday. I'm taking the time out this Sunday, just let you know that I haven't forgotten about my challenge, and that I'm still eager to tell you how the process is going! Further more, I have some really cool tutorials coming for Fall, along with some fun posts on fashion! 

So enjoy your Sunday! See you all back here tomorrow!

DAY 2

As you know from my previous post two days ago (which you can visit here) I'm doing a teeth whitening experiment! Today is day 2! So far, I haven't seen much improvement...it's also only the second day so I didn't expect to wake up and exclaim as I posed in front of the mirror, "My teeth! They sparkle like diamond in sky!" Write a comment below if you know where my reference is from! :) I did however see improvement with plaque build up, and my teeth seemed brighter...if that makes sense. 

Here are some updated pictures of my teeth...I know.... don't be shocked at the AMAZING difference ;) 

I think the bottom might be a tad whiter

I also forgot to say that my lip balm is from Tokyo Milk Bon Bon Lip Balm in Sweet Cream...this stuff is amazing...my lips feel so silky after I use it! 

Stay tuned tomorrow for Day 3!

Chompers Challenge

White teeth are something that most women and men alike desire. They make a person more attractive, approachable, and friendly. A smile can either light up a room, or make people cringe. Everyone wants white, healthy teeth! But in an economy like ours, it's hard to find the money for whitening products that can set you back as much as $200 or more! So, I decided to research and put effort into finding cheap, but effective ways to whiten teeth. After about a month of research, I decided on the one I thought to be most effective. Hydrogen Peroxide. Not only does this stuff clean bacteria out of your mouth (fresher breath!), it also cleans wounds, and reportedly whitens teeth! And for only a few bucks for a lot of product, you'll possibly have whiter teeth, better breath, clean boo boo's, and a happy wallet! 

The program I'm going to be doing (which seems the most effective in my opinion) involves dipping a Q-Tip into a cap full of Peroxide, rubbing said Q-Tip onto your teeth, letting it sit for thirty seconds and then brushing your teeth with regular toothpaste. Do this morning and night for one week and then every few days after that. I'll be blogging every day with updated photos of my teeth and how I think it's working. I will take my pictures in the same room, around the same time of day (for lighting purposes), and will wear the same lip balm. 

DISCLAIMER: On my camera my top teeth don't seem very stained. Although they aren't terrible, they aren't as white as I'd like them to be. However, my bottom teeth are all together yellow, and I'm hoping I'll see the most improvement on them. 

Get ready for silly pictures of my teeth in 3....2....1

You can barely see my teeth when I smile so on to the silly picture...

Also, some of you might ask, so I'll just tell you. I use a Crest Spinbrush and Plus White Xtra Whitening toothpaste, and floss with the little floss picks from Crest. Links are down below. Just click on the picture and it will take you directly to the Amazon product! Side note: the best price I have found for the toothpaste and the tooth brush is Amazon. The toothbrush is usually $8 and the toothpaste $4.

Style Icons: Blair Waldorf

Could she be any more fabulous?

The show Gossip Girl is one that I would never promote to anyone looking for amazing writing and deep story lines. It's about rich students who, I have not once seen actually go to class or do homework. And yet, I still find myself watching episode after episode. Why? Because not only are the leading men dreamy, and the setting (New York City) exciting, but the clothes are absolutely to die for! Characters throw out designer names like it's no big thing and just give away Coach handbags and Milano shoes! 

But the girl who I believe is the "hostest with the mostest" though, is none other than Queen Bee Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester). Yes, she's a snob. Yes, she's incredibly mean and cold hearted. But boy does the girl know how to wear a headband! I get excited every time she comes on the screen. What will she wear next? What shoes will she pair with that coat? Could I possibly remake that? What eyeshadow is that from? Could I recreate that berry lip with a few colors of lipstick I already own? She's everything I have always wanted for my style! I can't believe it took me this long to find her! She is my fashion soul mate! 

Of course, there are others who inspire me, but I feel that none compare to Blair. So for now, I will continue to watch the late night soap opera and get inspired from the girl who knows how to fill a closet.

 I guess it can be said, no one can style a wardrobe like a Waldorf. 

Here are some more pictures of Blair doing what she does best, being fabulous!
