Charcoal for Teeth?

My daughter has been seeing all of the online ads for charcoal tooth whitening powder and wanted to use it. Me being a mom wanted to try it out first to make sure it was safe for her to use.

To be honest when I think of charcoal I instantly see in my mind hard black bricks made into powder and was more then a bit thrown back by it. To my surprise this Charcoal whitening powder is made from Coconut shells ground down into a powder. Not sure why they went with the word Charcoal but now that I know I am much more comfortable using it. 

I have stained teeth from Iron supplements so the Dentist has told me that whitening products would only take surface stains off of my teeth but would not change the overall color of my teeth. With this being said I still wanted to try it and even though there isn't much of a color change, I love the way my mouth and teeth feel. Amazingly smooth and shiny too.  

I do want to warn you to be ready for a black mess, I use an electric toothbrush so I suggest keeping your mouth closed as much as possible while brushing to keep black specks from flying all over your bathroom or your clothes. For us the specks cleaned up with a swipe of a cloth on the sink and walls, but I am not sure about the clothes. I suggest doing this before you get dressed or even in the shower. 

Very easy to use, wet toothbrush, dip in powder, brush teeth and tongue, then rinse well. Verdict is I will continue to use this in the future for a nice smile that feels like I just had my teeth cleaned by a Dentist.

So ready to decorate the walls

One thing exciting about moving or redecorating is that you can rethink, remove, move around, or totally change up what you already had. One easy way is with pictures or art. I love these mats from Americanflat. What is really awesome is that it comes with a set of 25 mats, backs, and sleeves you can have a really nice crisp look throughout your home. 

I love the 11x14 beveled mats and can not wait to slip in my 8x10 photos to really make our new home feel more like our home. with the included sleeves you can even use these for art displays at fairs, art galleries, stores, etc.

Put your feet up and relax

With having children you go to lots of outside events including sporting events in which in most cases you need to have a folding chair or take up root on the ground. I don't like the ground option from bugs, to being cold, and worse the bugs. With a folding chair like this you can take it one step further and put of your feet. I think this is awesome. Sadly this has a weight limit of 200lbs so only my younger girls can use this. 

We like how easy it is to set up. It has a comfy headrest that can be added if you need it, cup holders, and a nice side bag for things like a book, your cellphone, camera ect. The bag is a really nice extra that I have not seen on many chairs. When you are done just fold and place inside with the included bag to store or transport it.

Soft Kitty

When I see kitty themed items I immediately think of several family and friends that it would fit for, sometimes even myself. This case would have been mine if it came in the size I needed, believe me I had that much fun with it. 

This case is super cute and so wish it came in the size to fit my phone. For those who have the iPhone 6s plus or the iPhone 7 plus you are in luck this comes in your size. The case is soft and flexible with pictures of kitties as well as a 3D squishy kitty. The squisy kitty is what really makes this so cute and loveable. I just couldn't help rubbing it's belly. It looks so happy when doing so.

One of my Bathing Luxuries

Bathing is one of the times that are a just for me, where I can sit back relax, read, or even watch a show or movie. If I have already washed my hair I like to use a hair towel to keep my hair up and out of my way. This is one of my favorite luxuries besides face masks, bubble bath, and bath bombs. 

As a busy mom there is precious little time for a little pampering or luxury but with these Microfiber hair towels from Bath Blossom you are in for a real treat. Super easy to use just place on your head after leaning forward with hair coming in front of face, twist lightly, lift, and button. That is it for a great way to help dry your hair and keep it out of you face while washing face, using masks, or even while putting on makeup. 

My girls even love these hair wraps which cut down on drying time on busy school mornings. The Bath Blossom hair towels come in a twin pack which can be found at my affiliate link below.
