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!

There’s A Little Turkey In All Of Us

~ Michelle T ~ Leave a comment

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

Bubble Backpack

~ Michelle T ~ Leave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Happy Monday! As you, all know when I find something awesome I just have to share it with all of you!

I recently bought Tonks a Bubble Backpack so she could join me on hikes and we can enjoy the outdoors together!

Today was our first hike, and we both had so much fun!

Tonks really liked the backpack she was able to look out the front as well as the two sides. And I felt that she was safe and secure so that I could hike without any worries!

The backpack is made very well; Tonks weighs 8 pounds, and the backpack had no problem holding her in safely!

I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to enjoy the outdoors with their furry friend!

Here is the link if you are looking for the perfect carrier for your hiking buddy! #bubblebackpack:http://www.amazon.com/Texsens-Innovative-Traveler-Backpack-Carriers/dp/B01FNJWPOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&keywords=backpack+pet+carrier

Cativersary

One year ago today Tyler and I found our little Kitty outside of our apartment complex! She was cold and hungry but so loving and kind!

IMG_0377                                                             First Photo With Tonks

She lived with us two days before we finally decided on her name! She took to us very fast and it was a relief when the vets gave her a clean bill of health!

She won the hearts of our friends and family, and before you knew it the lonely little kitty had the love of so many people!

People may say I am crazy for taking Tonks on walks in a stroller or for driving around with her in her car seat! But she has become like my child, we are there for each other, partners in crime!

So go ahead tell me I am crazy because I probably am! But over the last year Tonks has been with us through: planning a wedding, getting married, graduating college, holidays, and moving twice! That is a lot of bonding!

So here is to the last year, and to many more with my furry friend! We love you Tonks, you will always have a forever home with us!

 

 

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

~ 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

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

 

Celebrating You

~ Michelle T ~ Leave a comment

Hello Everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

This morning I came across the most amazing commercial! I know amazing and commercials don’t usually go together but I think this one definitely qualifies!

The Company is called Neon Moon. They sell underwear but what they have done with their commercial has an amazing lesson everyone should listen too!

Unlike other underwear companies that promote how we all should look…unbelievably sexy with perfect wavy hair, a gorgeous tan, and DD boobs; Neon Moon promotes self love, acceptance, natural beauty, and how it is truly beautiful to feel confident and love yourself!

Women should desire inner confidence and self love more then the perfect hair or curves! Very few women will look like Heidi Klum or Miranda Kerr but that doesn’t mean they aren’t beautiful! We all have our own beauty and we deserve to see and celebrate it!

I wish more advertisements would focus on promoting confidence and a positive outlook rather then selling products by making us feel inadequate and desperate to look like someone else!

I truly love this brand, I believe they are not only great products but a company looking to do good and spread love. Instead of traditional sizes which can label us and hurt our self esteem neon moon sells sized “lovely” “gorgeous” and “beautiful” a company like this deserves praise in my book!
Whether you are curvy, or thin a size A or a size DD you are beautiful!

Love you all,
Michelle

Waiting On Love

Hello Everyone,
Happy Monday! The start of yet another week!
As many of you know Tyler and I just passed the three month mark of our marriage last Friday! Many of you wrote to wish us a Happy Anniversary which was so thoughtful especially since I hadn’t even posted about it! You all are awesome!
But anyway I wanted to write to you all today about waiting for Mr. right and refusing to settle for anyone but him!
Every girl dreams of their fairy tale coming true and the day they walk down the aisle to their Prince Charming! Having done this a few months ago believe me when I say it truly will be the happiest moment of your life.
But this magical moment would certainly not be magical if the wrong person is standing at the end of the aisle! I know how lucky I am to have found my other half, people spend a lifetime looking for their person and I was lucky to find him at such a young age!
I had dated my fair amount of men before I met Tyler and although many of them were kind and will make great husbands one day, I know the only person who can truly make me this happy is Tyler.
Many of you write into me for dating advice or to tell me about that special someone! And that is amazing, everyone deserves someone who makes them feel unconditionally loved but don’t force these feelings or rush through enjoying a relationship! When you find Mr. Right you will know it, something will just, click and you will look at this person and know you will spend forever with them!
Like I said I know how lucky I am to have found Tyler so young but believe me when I say these feelings are worth waiting a lifetime for. You all deserve that unconditional love of the right person so don’t settle, and don’t force it. He is out there and he is worth the wait!
Love you all
Michelle

Internet or Reality 

~ Michelle T ~ Leave a comment

Hello Everyone,
We are halfway through another week! 

Today I want to talk to you all about internet safety! 

It’s hard to know the extent of the internet when you are sitting alone in a room with a computer but the reality is that you are never alone on the Internet! 

Being a blogger internet safety is something I take really seriously! I am a very trusting person and I love all of my new friends I’ve met through being a blogger! But it is important to make sure you know exactly who you are talking too, and sometimes that’s impossible!

Online dating has become one of the most common ways to meet people now a days but make sure you take proper precautions before meeting these people.

Social media can be fun but make sure you are safe about it! Whatever you post can come back to bite you one day! Think before you post!

One important thing to remember when playing around on the internet is cyber bullying! It’s a huge problem and can do real damage! Cyber bullying is just like regular bullying, people feelings get hurt regardless of it being typed out or spoken! 

No one wants to be bullied! There are mean people who prey on others for reasons I will never understand! 

Please use the internet wisely! I want you all to be safe and be kind! 

Love you all, 

Michelle
