PURE SMILE


TEETH WHITER IN YOUR LUNCH HOUR

WITH A PURE SMILE TREATMENT!


If you have been reading my blog for the past two years then you would know I have kept it no
secret about my constant teeth whitening battle. I am a coffee drinker. I wouldn't say I am an addict,
however those coffee beans stain and yellow your teeth over time no matter how good your oral
hygiene routine is.

I have been drinking coffee for about twelve years and during this time I have used whitening
toothpastes and gels, foams, whitening mouth wash and toothbrushes promising a whiter polished
shine as well as at home DIY whitening kits. Some of these methods I did find to be slightly effective
and I did see some improvement particularly with the teeth foam, however I had never, ever gone in
for any kind of teeth whitening treatment session before until I was recently offered to go to a
60 minute treatment session with Pure Smile. Getting a professional whitening treatment is 
something I have always wanted to do, however just never found the time to get around to actually
booking in for one. How could I say no?


Upon arrival I was greeted by the lovely and very friendly Veronika at their Garden City kiosk who
quickly made me feel at ease and welcomed me to my home for the next hour in the very spacious
and comfy white egg chair! (See above).

Getting straight down to business Veronika presented me with two different sized mouth pieces to
choose from to wear throughout my treatment. The difference between each of the plastic clear mouth
 guards was only slight, however I went for the smaller option as I didn't feel my mouth was really on
the larger size.. :)

Before inserting the mouth plate which covered both the top and bottom teeth, the whitening
treatment gel was to first be applied to the front eight teeth on the top and bottom. The pen appeared
similar to those at home whitening pens you can purchase yourself. However ended up being much
more powerful when activated underneath the led blue light for an hour! (See before & after images
at the end of this post). Veronika held up a mirror for me to apply this liberally myself.


Once my teeth were nice and coated the mouth plate was inserted into my mouth and I was given 
some very funky 70's disco large red glasses to wear to protect my eyes from the super bright led
light throughout the treatment. The whitening machine was then put up to my mouth and at the end
I was required to gently just hold onto it in between my teeth so the light could activate the gel 
throughout my four 15 minute sessions. 


After the timer beeped to conclude each 15 minute session, I again used the treatment whitening pen 
to apply some fresh gel to my front 16 teeth. Pure Smile have thought about the impatient and easily
bored person here as there were also some headphones readily available to wear if I wanted to hook
my phone up and listen to some music. 


A few selfies and some precious alone time later (With two toddlers alone time is a precious a rare
thing!) it was time to take out the mouth guard and examine the results! I have to admit after just
over 60 minutes of having my mouth forced open it was a relief to finally take it out! If was a bit
difficult to conclude the results when I first looked into the hand held mirror right after taking off
the glasses I'd been wearing for an hour and only seeing red! However my eyes got to have a little
rest as the final stage of the treatment progressed.


To conclude the whitening treatment I was presented with a new mouth guard with some white
 squishy inserts in it which was a quick fluoride treatment which tasted minty, however I cringed
each time I had to swallow my saliva as there was nowhere in which to spit until the very end!
I can understand why we wear a nice large bib during this whole process and thank goodness for
all the tissues Veronika so kindly provided me with as well as a nice refreshing bottle of PureSmile
branded bottled water to rinse with and take home with me. :)


So in the end I couldn't wait to see how much whiter and brighter my teeth were! I was shown this
Bleaching Shade Guide below and as you can see, my teeth went from around an S28-S30 all the way
up to an estimated S10-S8! That's around 8 to 9 shades whiter! I am thrilled with this result and to be
honest, I knew my teeth weren't the best in terms of being bright and white, however I had no idea 
they were in fact this discoloured! I was slightly horrified and don't EVER want to go back to that
awful yellow tone again. And all mainly just from drinking coffee all these years. I have never 
smoked nor do I even drink any alcohol or wine! Coffee, why must you be so so bad but oh so good?


 BEFORE                                   AFTER

SPRING OOTD



Going a bit glam on a beautiful Spring day, for no reason at all, except that I like to dress up
and dressing up is fun! :)

My sparkly silver sequin 'top' is actually a dress which was purchased years and years ago
and has barely been worn. Over the past year or so I've found myself pulling it out of my
wardrobe more and more and love it more now than I ever did when I bought it.
I think it looks so much nicer as a top!

As I have been going through and clearing out my closet lately I have been looking at each
item and if I see a stain or something not worth repairing then it goes straight to the bin.
Then I have also been looking at such items like a dress that could become a top or a dress
that might make a great skirt! With the weather warming up I've even made three pairs of
'not cool anymore' jeans into some cute looking jean shorts! 



Top/Dress from Jeans West (No longer available think it was around $30)
White Eyelet Skirt from Coles Mix Apparel $29.00 (Current Season Stock)
Pisces in Silver Novo Shoes $79.95 (Currently only available in Black)



What's your Spring style of choice?
Do you ever re-shop/re-vamp your current clothing?

OOTD


~ O u t f i t  O f  T h e  D a y ! ~


I love fashion, style and watching each trend evolve into the next.
So since I haven't written a fashion post in quite a while, 
here's an OOTD and as usual it's very budget friendly!

To get started, I'm just chilling out at home with the kids today,
so not much makeup. I just threw on a few coats of ModelCo
Fat Lash Volumising black mascara and coated my lips in 



These shots were taken in my backyard in front of the floral arch pretty
much in the exact same place where my husband and I got married.
It looks so beautiful now, covered in jasmine and the smell is just divine!
It only flowers like mad like this for about 2 weeks at the start of Spring
each year then the flowers all fall off. Such a shame the jasmine were just
tiny little plants when we got married 4 years ago, it would have looked
awesome in the wedding pix!

Anyway, on with the outfit! :)

Purchased from K-Mart
Black Singlet Top - Came in pack of 2 with a white one as well for ($5)
Black & White Polka Dot Skirt with Pockets - ($15)
White Encrusted Gem Sandals - I fit into kids size 5 ($15)

I love shopping for clothes at places like K-Mart because you can
buy all the latest trends without paying the ridiculous prices.
When the trend ends you don't have to worry about a shirt or a dress
you only wore a few times because you only spent about $20 on it, 
as opposed to purchasing something similar for triple the price.
Plus they sell tones of kids clothes cheaper than buying second hand
a lot of the time which is great since they grow so fast!


A close up of the shoes!

Where do you like to shop for the latest trends?
Do you ever shop the kids section for yourself?
