How to Get The Whitest Smile

Who doesn’t want white teeth?! Our teeth can yellow due to genetics, what we eat and drink – hello coffee lovers! I love me some coffee, so making sure that I keep my smile white and bright is very important to me. Let’s get into 3 ways to make your smile whiter AND maintain it:

1. SMILE BRILLIANT SYSTEM

What’s better than a dentist quality whitening? NOT going to the dentist to whiten your teeth! Smile Brilliant offers dentist quality whitening without having to sit in the chair. You know, that anxiety inducing char. Okay, even if it is for whitening, I still don’t like it!

Anyway, Smile Brilliant offers two different systems: one for people with sensitive teeth and one non-sensitive. You guys…their system is really the best. And it’s easy & made just for you. What do I mean? You’ll take a mold of your teeth, send it to Smile Brilliant, and then they’ll send you custom trays to use. Want more info? “From dental lab to your door. Our teeth whitening process is recommended by more dentists than any other procedure in America. We proudly produce our custom-fitted whitening trays right here in the United States for 70% less than your dentist and 3x to 5x faster. We ship worldwide & our customers trust our team’s honesty and experience.” How is that for amazing?

I was afraid that my teeth and/or gums would hurt from the whitening gel, but I felt no discomfort. I used the trays everyday until I was out of syringes, and recommend doing this for the best and fastest results.

See the my results for yourself:

2. BE MANIPULATIVE!

A fake tan and a good lipstick will do the trick. Both will make your teeth look A LOT whiter.

Let’s get specific. Opt for a natural looking tan. My favorites are NKD SKN and Loving Tan. Neither brand sells orange toned tanners. The same goes for lipstick – go for cool toned colors to make your teeth look more white. Orange-y tones will bring out the yellow in your teeth. So, if you go for red, use a blue toned red.

3. USE A CLEAN TOOTHPASTE

By clean, I mean using a toothpaste without the bad shit such as: carrageenan, fluoride, and sweeteners. Yes, many toothpastes contain all of these ingredients! My new favorite is from Dr. Bronner’s. It’s pepperminty and fresh, and makes your smile sparkle and your mouth feel clean.

Side note: Before I started using Dr. Bronner’s, I was using a charcoal toothpaste because I thought that it was beneficial for dental health and the color of your teeth. While charcoal toothpastes DO whiten your teeth, they are also damaging to your tooth enamel. We’re talking permanent damage.

“Prolonged use of charcoal to whiten teeth is likely to lead to dramatic enamel erosion and permanent damage to the tooth with incredibly superficial results.” – Smile Brilliant

I am so grateful to Smile Brilliant for educating me on this, as I would have continued on using charcoal toothpaste. Check out their page HERE for more info.

if you can’t go more than a day without washing if you can’t go more than a day without washing your hair (like me), let me introduce you to this 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner combo that is truly so nourishing 🪄🧴 
@hairstorystudio NEW WASH was developed because most shampoos weaken the hair and strip out vital oils since most rely on detergent. New Wash is a cleanser but doesn’t contain any detergent & has a proprietary blend of essential oils & saturated cleansers. 
My hair is never greasy after using it and my dry AF scalp loves it! I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and I’m truly impressed by how nourishing it is for both my hair + scalp. ✨

I love trying new products and these are some ✨new✨faves of mine I have to share with you:

@saintjanebeauty lip oil: love a high-shine gloss and this is ITTT. It’s actually called a lip oil which did scare me before trying it, but really just feels like a gloss. It’s not greasy at all. the sparkly pink is my fave 💖 

@herbivorebotanicals moon fruit: calling all pregnant/breastfeeding mamas! this product is a retinol-alternative serum that's clinically-proven to treat signs of aging with 1% bakuchiol + plant peptides. I started using it a few months ago and really love it. I do miss retinol (still breastfeeding) but this is a gentler option. 

Burdock oil: I had no idea about this oil until I researched ingredients for the best scalp treatment and this is one of the ingredients I use in my DIY scalp treatment. However I’ve also been using it on my face to double cleanse because it is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. 

@lysbeautyofficial blush: this is the color humble and it’s the prettiest orangey pink which is fab for summer. I’m a cream blush convert because it’s so much more natural looking than powders. & this one is matte, so it won’t look greasy ✨
Your most beautiful life is meant to bring out you Your most beautiful life is meant to bring out your core values. 
I’ve always had a vision for my most beautiful life. But with anything, it needed some refinement (as with everything in life).
Since I have become deeply entrenched in coaching, I have been able to identify my core (vs acquired) values to be able to design my day/life. 🌸 
Some questions to ask yourself to do the same:

I’m your dream day, what are you wearing? 
What values are you living by?
What does your environment look and feel like?
Where do you live?
What activities bring you energy?
