GLO Brilliant Personal Teeth Whitening Device and Gels Review

Hello Everyone,

Who wouldn't like a set of nice white teeth? This will make a good gift for anyone.
I have been drinking a lot of tea and I do see it staining my teeth. I was using Crest White Strips for a while and they work great. My only complaint is my teeth will be sensitive to anything cold for a day or two every time I used them. I heard good reviews on the GLO Brilliant Personal Teeth Whitening system and the pro for me is it prevents sensitivity because it does not have carbamide peroxide or alcohol.

GLO came out in 2010 at all the Sephora stores and it was selling for about $299. Now, it cost about $199 and I was able to pick it up during the Sephora F&F so I had additional discount which made it reasonable for me to make the purchase.

The device package comes with GLO lip care to help keep your lips moist. Just apply a thin layer to your lips before using the device.

The device and the charger feels like I am charging up my ipod/iphone. Make sure to charge the GLO device before use.

It comes with one mouthpiece. You can buy additional mouthpiece if you will be sharing the device so it saves money. The mouthpiece activates light and heat to speed up the whitening process without tooth sensitivity. When it warms up, it form fits to your mouth so it's not uncomfortable. Another reason why I like this over Crest white strip, is this whitens the front and the back of your mouth, whereas the Crest White Strip is short strip that only applies to the few front teeth.

Here is a container for the mouthpiece:

Inside the package, there is a set of 10 G-vials that is good for 40 complete applications. One vial can be used for four 8-minute whitening applications. To see results, use GLO 3-5 consecutive days for a maximum of 10 days, 32 minutes/day. I definitely saw a difference on the 3rd day and by the 5th day, I was pretty pleased with the result.

It is better to store the vials in the fridge for it to last longer. Once the vial is opened, it remains active up to 7 days with the cap closed and in the refrigerator. Apply some of the gel on your teeth before activating the device.

Repeat this four times. Spit  excess saliva and rinse your mouthpiece each time.

This system also works on procelain veneers, bonded teeth, dental implants, crown of bridges. A good system to invest if you are looking for something more than the Crest White Strips.

       

Until next time,

stay healthy, beautiful, and inspired.

Have a great night!

Essie In the Cab-ana and Dj play that song neon 2013 nail polish collection

Hello Everyone,

I am so glad to have my internet fixed because the whole week I was dying to blog. Recently, I picked up some of Essie's Spring 2013 nail polish collections and those will be the colors I will be wearing for the rest of Spring and Summer.

One of the collection is called In the Cab-ana. It's a combination of soft pastel and bold colors. Most of Essie's formula for nail polish goes on nicely with just two coats.

I only have three out of the four shades from the collection:
From left to right: First Timer, Under Where?, Come Here.

Here is First Timer on my nails:

For the Dj Play that Song collection it is filled with bold, neon colors. These colors look great on tan skin. It makes the color pop even more.

I have four out of the six shades for this collection:

From left to right: DJ Play that Song, Saturday Disco Fever, Shake your $$ Maker, and Bottle Service. I also have a white polish in Blanc on the side to indicate if you add white underneath neon colors, it will intensify the color.

I have Bottle Service and Blanc on my toes:

Add some bright colors and have fun!

Until next time, 

stay healthy, beautiful, and inspired.

Have a great night!

Khol's Lauren Conrad Spring 2013 collection and Pier 1 Imports

Hello Everyone,

Ever since Lauren Conrad's Spring 2013 collection came out at Khol's I am smitten with her clothes. Her clothes are exactly my style. They are classic, chic, effortless, feminine, and rarely do you see prices over $70. I have several shirts from her collection and they fit well to my frame. The blazers are gorgeous. I picked up a cream and a gray color blazer because I can pair them up with shorts or jeans for a casual look and a blouse with a skirt or dress pants for a business look, very versatile.  This is the only reason I go to Khol's.

When I was there I also picked up a pair of sandals from Union Bay. I love the aztec pattern and the simple zipper at the back to slip-on.

The next place I went to is my favorite store for home decors: Pier 1 Imports.

I have been looking for a simple white table that I can put near the door and I found just the right one. It was on sale and white just makes everything look clean.

Until next time,

stay healthy, beautiful, and inspired.

Have a great night!

Haul from Forever 21, H&M, and Bath & Body Works

Hello Everyone,

From head to feet to nails...

The best place to buy cheap fashionable jewelry is from Forever 21. Most of my earrings, necklaces, and rings are from here because I wouldn't care too much if I lose them, which I do a lot. I am currently obsessed with stud earring and anything with owls. These owl earrings where calling my name and the flowers were just cute.

I can't wait to replace my heart earrings with the owls....

Another thing that I lose a lot are my sunglasses. So, I got some cheap ones from Forever 21 that has 100% UV protection. Now, I don't feel bad about tossing them into my bag because they were only $5.80.

At H&M, they have cute colorful ballet flats that I wear to run errands. They are comfortable and adds a pop of color to any outfit.

Ballet flat: $12.95

Currently, the candles that are burning in my room are from the Fresh Picked collection at Bath and Body Works. My two favorite scents are market peach and pear. Smells amazing!

On my nails, I am wearing Rose Quartz- a gold color with a hint of rose and green from Revlon Chrome Chameleon Limited Edition

Until next time,

stay healthy, beautiful, and inspired.

Have a great night!

Quirky hobby- My salt and pepper shaker collection

Hello Everyone,

Once in a while I do like to share something personal that not a lot of people know about me, but now, I guess everyone knows. I do have a quirky hobby and it's collecting salt and pepper shakers. It started a few years ago when I purchased my house and I didn't know what to put in a glass display that my grandparents left for me. While looking at decors at Pier 1 Imports, I saw some cute salt and pepper shakers that I just had to get. Ever since then, I am always on the hunt for unique salt and pepper shakers. I do have other quirky hobbies and this is just one of the many.

Here are some of my salt and pepper shakers that I would like to share (I do feel like an old lady with this hobby, but who cares):

My favorite is the dog and the fire hydrant.

One of my favorite drink from T-pumps is the red bean smoothie with red beans and tapioca balls. Just can't get enough red beans in my drink.

YOLO!!!

I am liking the SketchMe app right now! It turns a picture into a drawing. How cool is that! Ok... quirky!

Unti next time,

stay healthy, beautiful, and inspired.

Have a great night!
