As an aspiring dentist I'm always on the lookout for new smile-enhancers. So I wanted to write a blog to share with you just a few of my amazing discoveries. I'm practically obsessed with all Rembrandt products and today I'm going to tell you every step to take towards a whiter brighter smile using a few of them! The first step is the actual whitening, I highly recommend using the Rembrandt 2 hour whitening kit. This product is a whitening tray that you wear for 20 minutes then remove for ten and repeat four times. It will make a drastic difference in your teeth colour. What's really great about this kit is that it's only $18.99 and if you go to Rembrandt's official website you can p[rint off a five dollar coupon making the kit cost you only $13.99! But if you just used the two hour whitening kit and never followed up then your teeth would go back to there original colour. Following up is very important. I bought the Rembrandt whitening touch up pen and I like it a lot. When I applied it before bed, I woke up to teeth that were a shade whiter. It's also fabulous because it's so small you can bring it anywhere and use it anytime to touch up your teeth. Then the final step is to continue to brush your teeth at least twice a day and use Rembrandt's whitening mouthwash with flouride daily. As always stay away from sugary pop and gum.
I hope that didn't totally bore you and I wasn't trying to sound like a total Rembrandt advertisement either. I just really love their products. Have a smiley day!

SPARKLES!
Every girl simply adores them, rght? If you just thought, "Eww, no." then let me remind you of days gone by. Remeber back to when you were a wee tyke? You must have played with sparkle-haired mermaid Barbie, and don't even try to tell me that you never had a pair of those tiny, plastic, sparkly, princess dress up shoes, because I know you did. My point is simply that deep down inside we all love shine and glitter and sparkles, myself included. So when I discovered an acceptable way for a grown woman to wear sparkles I was immensly excited. You see, you can now incorporate sparkles into your make-up look, thanks to make-up artist Petra Strand who created a product under her Pixi label called Sparkle Stix. It's a highlighting stick that goes on clear and leaves a sparkly finish wherever you apply it. It's absolutely irresistable!
I use it to highlight by drawing a backwords C starting below my eyebrown and ending at the cheekbone. It's just so much fun!
Oh and did I mention that it's only $18 at Target! Unbelievable!

Every girl wants voluptuous lips.
I'd tried a plethora of lip-plumpers, boosters, fatteners to no avail. Some had worked better than others. Some hadn't worked at all. So I began to give up my dream of having juicy lips and glumly switched to plain-jane lip gloss. But, you see, I am not the type to easily let go of a dream. I told myself that I had fought a good fight. I told myself that one day I would have funds and collagen injections would be an option. But, like I said, I do not give up a dream. So in one last desperate attempt I decided to head over to Target and buy just one more tube of so-called miracle gloss. I began prepearing myself for the upsetting realization that miracles don't come in tubes as I quickly scanned the beauty aisles. Suddenly there it was: a large pink display filled with berry-colored tubes. The shiny tubes were as irresistibly appealing as the price. So i bought one and brought it home.
I honestly do not believe that there are words for the joy I felt when I applied the candy colored gloss in front of my vanity that night. Now I believe. Now I know that it is possible. Now I understand that miracles truly do come in tubes.
