Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening kit #review and #giveaway ~ get your teeth sparkly at home!






Smile Brilliant's tooth whitening system is more
effective than any other system on the market not because the gel is
better, but because the trays are fitted specifically for your teeth
which ensures it holds to the surface area for prolonged periods of
time.



My Review:

I found this to be an effective product that most people can use right in the comfort of their

own home.  Unless you have SEVERE issues, it will help whiten and brighten your teeth and you will start to notice the difference in only a few short days of use.  Now, make sure to read the directions completely before starting to use it - I did not and ended up using it for too long the first couple times.  Just goes to show that knowing all the facts and getting all the info first is very important!



A wonderful thing about this system is that it can be done right at home.  Secondly, it is custom fit to each person's mouth - making it work best for YOU because it fits snug to your teeth!  And finally the customer service is wonderful and always there with any question or concern I had!  I do recommend this for anyone who wants a nice bright smile but doesn't want or is not able to pay the huge fees that dentists charge.


How does teeth whitening work?



The tooth is composed of 2 outer layers that surround
the pulp which is the chamber that inhabits the nerves. The outer most
layer is called the enamel
which is a clear and hard coating that protects the tooth from extreme
temperatures and impact. The enamel is porous which means substances can
seep through and stain the inner second layer known as the dentin. The dentin
is a soft bone like tissue that rest on top of the pulp. Everyone's
dentin has a slightly different shade of white, off white, or in rare
cases yellow. The color of our dentin cannot be altered from teeth
whitening. When some consumers report that a teeth whitening product had
no effect on the color of their teeth it's usually because that person
has an off white or yellowish colored dentin. As long as the bleaching
agent was either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide it will remove
all stains over time. 






What if you experience tooth sensitivity?



66% of all users experience tooth sensitivity to some
degree. For some it will be very mild and for others it will be
unbearable. 


Tobacco, nicotine, and other severe stains:



It's important to note that if there are stains on
your teeth, our product will absolutely remove them. Some stains are
more difficult than others. The average person who wears their trays for
3 hours a day or sleeps with them over night will have removed all the
stains from their teeth after 5-7 applications. However more sever
conditions such as teeth with tobacco stains, nicotine stains, or dental fluorosis may require as many as 20-30 applications.










Interested in giving it a try for FREE?  Enter below for a chance to WIN a FREE kit for yourself!  Must be 18 or older - open to US, UK, AU, & CANADA!

GIveaway runs 10/24 through 11:59pm CST on 11/15.

Coty's new book, Too Loved to Be Lost: Discovering God’s Intentional, Unconditional, Without-Limits Loveoffers women simple, practical steps for finding healing, security, and revitalization of spirit, body, and faith.

Before Amen by Max Lucado ~ building a stronger, faith filled prayer life ~ #review






{About Before Amen}


Before Amen Hi Res coverBefore Amen || (Thomas Nelson, September 2014)





We all pray . . . some.




We pray to stay sober, centered, or solvent. When the lump is deemed
malignant. When the money runs out before the month does. When the
marriage is falling apart. We pray.




But wouldn’t we like to pray more? Better? Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency?




Yet we have kids to feed, bills to pay, deadlines to meet. The
calendar pounces on our good intentions like a tiger on a rabbit. And
what about our checkered history with prayer? Uncertain

words. Unmet
expectations. Unanswered requests.




We aren’t the first to struggle with prayer. The first followers of
Jesus needed prayer guidance too. In fact, prayer is the only tutorial
they ever requested.




And Jesus gave them a prayer. Not a lecture on prayer. Not the
doctrine of prayer. He gave them a quotable, repeatable, portable
prayer. Couldn’t we use the same?




In Before Amen best-selling author Max Lucado joins readers
on a journey to the very heart of biblical prayer, offering hope for
doubts and confidence even for prayer wimps. Distilling prayers in the
Bible down to one pocket-sized prayer, Max reminds readers that prayer
is not a privilege for the pious nor the art of a chosen few. Prayer is
simply a heartfelt conversation between God and his child. Let the
conversation begin.




Learn more at Max’s website.



My Review:

I must completely agree with this particular part of the book description ". . .prayer
is not a privilege for the pious nor the art of a chosen few. Prayer is
simply a heartfelt conversation between God and his child. . ."  This book describes exactly that - that prayer is not just a "God I need . . want . . please help . . " but should be seen as a special gift given to us.  Direct communication with the Creator!


Before Amen is a powerful and amazing book, well written for those who really desire to strengthen their prayer life and communication with God.  It has made me stop and think of the way I approach prayer.  I see it as a way to give God my requests and expectations, but I should see it for the privilege it truly is.  I need to approach God with reverence yet a child-like heart full of love and desire to spend time in his presence.  This book is Highly recommended by this blogger!

VeggieTales Beauty and the Beet ~ A story of Unconditional Love #review #giveaway







Beauty
and the Beet
Puts a Tune-Filled,

All-Veggie Spin on a Classic Fairy Tale Starring Country Superstar Kellie
Pickler







Available Oct. 14 on DVD and Digital
Download, the Newest

VeggieTales Production Features 10 Original Songs,

Also Offered on a Brand-New Companion CD








About the film:







This brand-new VeggieTales musical premieres Oct. 14 and
stars Kellie Pickler (American Idol, Dancing With the
Stars
), who brings her unmistakable voice to the role of
Mirabelle, a sweet-potato singer whose family band is on the brink of
superstardom. BEAUTY AND THE BEET blends the irresistible charm of
VeggieTales with a heartfelt


message about unconditional love. The DVD also includes Mac and Cheese, a giddy new “Silly Songs With
Larry” segment in which Larry the Cucumber reveals the surprising and heretofore
untold history of his family’s unexpected contributions to Italian
cuisine.
BEAUTY AND


THE BEET is just the
start of the fun in store this fall for
VeggieTales fans, because the gang will also
star in a brand-new Netflix original series,
VeggieTales In the House, which premieres Thanksgiving
weekend.






Watch the Trailer:






Mirabelle and her traveling family band, the Veggietones, are determined to make their next gig at Vegtable Square Garden. On their journey, a fierce winter snowstorm hits, and the family gets stuck at a run-down resort! Mr. Beet, the grumpy manager makes me sing - and clean - for their supper. Why is Mr. Beet such a beast? And can Mirabelle's kindness change him? Find out in this hilarious and heartwarming tale of unconditional love!



Review:

What a fun show!  Our family have loved VeggieTales for over 13 years and still find them completely fascinating and wonderful.  All three of my kids (and yes, even me too) could not take our eyes off this show.  My kids have watched it over and over so many times I think they nearly have it memorized and I've only managed to watch half and can't wait to sneak it away from the kiddos long enough to actually watch the whole thing!



VeggieTales is always a family favorite with clean, family friendly shows, fun and humorous animated characters and honest moral stories that teach young ones how to be their best, do their best, be honest, kind, and a good friend, and to show God's love to others even when it is difficult.



Beauty and the Beet is a VeggieTales version of the classic "Beauty and the Beast" story.  It is told in such a way that children of all ages can relate to how aggravating difficult people can be and how easy it is to treat them badly in return.  This movie shows how even the meanest person can be affected in a positive way by showing God's unconditional love even when it is hard.



With beautiful music, wonderful vibrant animations, fun and funny characters and of course a new silly song with Larry about Mac N Cheese that my kids won't quit singing . . . this movie is one of our new favorites.  As a blogger, a Mom, an advocate for good clean family fun, and a VeggieTales lover; I highly recommend this DVD.  It would make a wonderful gift for the upcoming holiday season, or an early gift that the whole family can watch together over the Holidays!








Time for a GIVEAWAY!


Open to US & CANADA - 18 or older please.  Only one entrant per mailing address, per giveaway. If you have won the same prize on another blog, you are not eligible to win it again. Winner is subject to eligibility verification.”
