Crest Whitestrips Review

I decided to try the crest whitestrips professional effects and I have noticed a difference!
I have probably about 10 days left out of the 20 and my teeth really are whiter. I also was using the Listerine total care plus whitening which I was using before I started the strips, and I think over time it was starting to help but the whitestrips are amazing.
The whitening is even, and you really do start to see a difference after three days. I paid around 50 for the box of 20 days and I feel like it was totally worth it!
The bottom strip is smaller than the top but they are super easy to put on, and they don't move around once they are sealed on your teeth which was a huge bonus. The gel didn't leak out too much but even when it did, it wasn't a horrible taste or make me drool. Taking them off can be harder because of the seal and sometimes I have a residue of the gel but you can either wipe it off or let it go away which only takes a minute or two. I truly loved these. I'm not as white as I want to be, but for the price, ease, and convenience it was WORTH IT!
I would def recommend these to anyone who is interested In whitening their teeth :)

Naked's Green Machine

Well, I constantly go through these things where I'm like "oh I want to be healthier" this week. And then it stops and in a few weeks it starts again. I don't drink much soda, I drink 1-2 cups of coffee a day, maybe some tea but mostly water. Which, for a 20 year old is not that bad. But, I do not eat the healthiest although I try and love veggies and fruits. I have noticed that my fruits just go bad before I have time to eat them and I hate taking the time to cut them up for myself... lazy I know.
Well, you should also know I'm a HUGE fan of Private Practice and almost every episode the main character Addison drinks some kind of strange green juice thing, so out of curiosity I decided to research it and on Kate Walsh's official website she answered my question. It's Naked's Green Machine. It's supposed to be a very healthy way of getting some fruits, veggies, and even some extra things into your diet. So I ran to Walmart and got a bottle.. I paid maybe 8.00 for 64oz. Which, I didn't see to be that unreasonable.
It's really not bad! The look is worse than the taste. If you drink a lot of soda's it is a great alternative even if it's just one cup a day. I don't count my calories but I try to be conscious of what I put into my body. So, it's definitely something I would recommend to EVERYONE. I've read reviews that it's not that good for you and making green juice on your own is healthier, which I totally agree with but I don't have the time nor the patience to do it so this is my way of trying to be a little healthier.
SO TRY IT!

Coffee Syrups

Coffee syrups have been my new latest craze. I love all the fancy iced coffees and lattes. The problems? Expense and time. I'm always ru...
