Whitening Teeth At Home

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed your holidays! Since it’s a new year I decided to take charge of one thing that always seems to bother me, my yellow teeth. Most of you who follow my blog and Instagram know that I struggle with a tea and coffee addiction, leaving me with stained teeth that just don’t look great in pictures.

I have partnered with Smile Brilliant to improve my own teeth and tell you all about their amazing product! Smile Brilliant is a home teeth whitening system that is designed to give you those perfect white teeth I thought was only possible by spending thousands and spending hours at the dentist.

To start the whitening process with Smile Brilliant you first need to use the teeth whitening trays kit to take molds of your own teeth. This sounds scary but it was actually super simple and the whitening trays you receive really do make a huge difference. Check out this article on the benefits of custom-fitted trays.

Once you create the molds of your teeth you simply send them back to Smile Brilliant and before you know it your personal whitening trays show up at your doorstep! The trays you receive are soft and flexible, making the whole whitening process comfortable.

One thing about teeth whitening I get very nervous about is causing tooth sensitivity, well with smile brilliant there will be none of that! Along with the whitening gel syringes you will also receive a few syringes of desensitizing gel. By filling the trays with this gel and leaving it on for 15-20 minutes I never experienced a sensitivity problem!

Over the past week I have been hard to work on my teeth whitening, one hour each night! I am very happy with my results and recommend Smile Brilliant to anyone looking to brighten their smile! Here are my before and after photos!

I plan on continuing to whiten my teeth for the next few weeks I will be posting updates on my Instagram! Remember to follow me to stay up to date on my progress.

I am going to link this YouTube video that will help demonstrate Smile Brilliant.

Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have on Smile Brilliant, if you decide to try it, I will include the link to Smile Brilliant, don’t forget to let me know about your experience!

Bella’s Illness

December 21, 2016December 22, 2016 ~ Michelle T ~ Leave a comment

This will be our third Christmas with Bella, every year she gets excited and uses her nose to sniff out all her treats wrapped under the tree. When we rescued two-year-old Bella from the MSPCA she was a little ball of energy. There were signs that she had been abused in her previous home so it took her a few months to feel safe and realize all we wanted to do was love her.
We wanted to give Bella the best most loving forever home we possibly could. We wanted her to feel safe and secure, loved, and wanted. Bella went multiple times a week to run with her friends at doggy daycare or as we called it school, she knew the days she wanted to go see her friends because she would bark and follow you around the entire time you were getting ready for work. Bella loves to watch the voice and lay in front of her fake fireplace.
We know that Bella didn’t have the easiest life in her previous home. When we adopted her we wanted to give her the best possible life we could give her. She is a sweet and loving Bulldog that wins over the hearts of anyone who has the pleasure of knowing her.

Recently Bella had started whimpering and crying out in pain. It has taken multiple Vets several weeks and many tests before they finally found what is causing Bella’s pain. Through an MRI administered by a Neurologist they have been able to diagnose her with Inflammatory Brain Disease, this is a brain disease which is causing her severe pain; as well as, seizures and vertigo. As her family we want to give her every chance she has to live a full and happy life especially since Bella is only five years old. Vets have recommended a series of chemo treatments, steroids, and pain medicine to keep her comfortable.

This makes me so sad not just because she’s my pup but because She deserves to be happy and healthy!!!! We are blessed to have her grace our home with her spunk and personality.

There’s A Little Turkey In All Of Us

Hey Everyone,

Happy Monday, I know Mondays are typically nothing to be excited but I still hope you all had a great day!

It’s almost Thanksgiving here in America and you we can officially let the Holiday season begin! Just like most of the world, The holidays are always my favorite time of the year. The magic is everywhere people literally sing in the streets!

The best part about this time of the year is that you get to spend it with family and friends and the people who mean the most to you!

To me, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because you get to express your love and thankfulness for each other! Its a time to reflect on the year and think about who and what you are thankful for. It’s not all about Turkey even though who could resist that much food!

Usually, I would post something like this on the actual holiday but for me, it was one of those Mondays I needed a little bit of optimism and thoughtfulness! Since this post is early I hope you all take the next few days to think about who and what you are thankful for!

For example:

I am thankful for every single one of my followers and readers, not only do I feel your love and support on a daily basis but you have become such good friends! Regardless of if we have ever met or ever will meet you all have become a huge part of my life! I wish you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

XOXO,

Michelle

Don’t Stress Out About Break Outs

October 30, 2016October 30, 2016 ~ Michelle T ~ 4 Comments

Everyone knows that I always stress the importance of confidence. But for me one thing that always hits my confidence hard is when my skin is breaking out. No matter what, when I have a pimple I feel like it’s all people can see and that everyone is staring.

Since I am sure many girls feel this way when those little pimples make an appearance on your skin, I wanted to share my favorite beauty tool! It’s done wonders for my skin, and by using it every night I have seen a huge improvement!

This little beauty secret is called the Soniclear Elite by Michael Todd Beauty, and believe me, it works miracles! You simply use this little brush with your current cleanser to clean your face, it takes the same amount of time as if you were washing your face by hand but it gets all the dirt, makeup, and impurities out of your pores and off of you face! Believe me, you will notice the difference!

So if you are looking for something to finally fight off and kill that stubborn acne, or you just want to go to bed knowing your skin really is clean I recommend picking up the Soniclear Elite by Micheal Todd!

Dress sizes can’t define, don’t let the world decide what’s beautiful

September 8, 2016 ~ Michelle T ~ Leave a comment

Hello Everyone,

I want to thank you all for the overwhelming amount of E-mails I received after my last post! They were all filled with kindness and love; I really have missed you all!!

Today I am writing to you all because of one email I got in particular! I received a very emotional and heartfelt letter from a high school sophomore.

She told me that she has always been struggling with her weight but has always considered herself to be beautiful! Until high school when people began to pick on her because of her size. She goes on to tell me that these girls have not only been embarrassing her but also have started to change how she sees herself and views her own body.

While reading this Email, I was almost in tears; no one should feel this way about themselves, and when these feelings are caused by the cruelty and ignorance of others, it is just so sad and it breaks my heart!

Now I can say that you shouldn’t listen to the cruel words of others, and only you can define how you feel about yourself, but in reality, this is almost impossible to do! Our peers play such a big part in our everyday life that it is so hard to ignore their opinions.

The best advice I can give someone in this position is to be strong, understand that you are beautiful and understand that there is a cruelty in this world that is not fair. Be the bigger person and don’t forget to put yourself first! Love yourself, know your worth and beauty, and truly love yourselves!

Love you all,

Michelle

Hello World

September 5, 2016 ~ Michelle T ~ Leave a comment

Hello Everyone,

I must apologize for my extended absence! I must say I have been a very busy girl, most recently I have started grad school!

I was offered a full assistantship! Allowing me to go to school as well as get a great experience of working as a Teaching Assistant, enabling me to teach classes, and do some real world hands on research!

I just finished my first week, and so far I have no complaints, it is so nice being back to school.

Me and Tyler also through a celebration of our marriage, a second reception! As many of you know our wedding ceremony was planned ver quickly and even though it was fantastic it was very nice to have a bigger party that all our friends and family could attend!

It’s been a crazy and fun summer!

I am hoping to get back to you all more regularly; I am going to make an honest effort! I miss all of my web friends! Let me know if there is anything you want me to touch upon in the next few days!

Talk to you all soon!

Lots of love,

Michelle

My Addiction Too…. Netflix

May 22, 2016May 22, 2016 ~ Michelle T ~ Leave a comment

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all are having a great weekend!

Today I want to talk to you all about something we all do, binge watch TV shows. Netflix has seemed to become my outlet: When I’m stressed… Netflix When I am sad… Netflix When I’m bored… Netflix!

TV shows, movies, documentaries, yes I may be rotting my brain, but I am really enjoying myself while I do it!

So this isn’t my typical post, but I am getting there I promise…

We all have our guilty pleasures, and that’s okay sometimes to keep ourselves balanced and sane so don’t be ashamed of these things whether its TV, Video games, music, exercise whatever it is if it helps you get through whatever you are going through then its a good thing.

So remember to get off the couch every once and a while to do things that are good for you, get your work done, but also enjoy yourself. You aren’t living if you are not enjoying it!

Love you all,

Michelle

Looking Like You

May 19, 2016May 19, 2016 ~ Michelle T ~ Leave a comment

Hello Everyone,

For my second post on this beautiful Thursday I want to talk to everyone about impressions and appearances.

I find it appropriate to always look respectful and classy. I may not dress in business clothes or dresses daily but I do avoid clothing with inappropriate phrases or pictures. I try to dress suitable for myself and those around me.

Not only is this how i feel most comfortable but i feel like it is most polite. I would hate to go to a store or restaurant with a shirt that has an inappropriate word on it and have a little kid ask their mother what that means.

Yes, it’s true they will learn it eventually but i would rather it be not from me, a complete stranger.

I prefer to present myself in a way I feel represents me. It’s going to always be the best way to make a first impression and show the world who you really are!

Love you all
Michelle

The Interview

May 3, 2016May 3, 2016 ~ Michelle T ~ Leave a comment

Hello Everyone,

Happy Tuesday!

So since it’s senior week here on inspiring the girls I felt like it would be a good time to talk about interviews.

Even if you are not a senior, interviews are something you are going to have to face.

Interviews are nerve wracking! it’s like walking into a room asking other people to judge you.

But it’s also a chance to show off how great you are. If you walk into the interview with confidence you will feel better about the whole process and have a better chance of impressing whom ever is interviewing you!

My best advice for an interview is to be yourself be confident and be honest! It’s important to be honest because you don’t want to get the job based on a lie, the company may assume you need less training then you do and then you will struggle to succeed!

I had an interview today and I think it went very well! I got to meet some very nice and fun people that I hope to one day be working with!

I hope you all stay positive if you are entering the job market it’s tough out there but I know you all will be great at what ever careers you choose!

Love you all,
Michelle
