Dial A Smile Teeth Whitening System

www.whiteninglighting.com 

Every mom wants one of those movie star gleaming white smiles. But like most moms I feel having it done at the dentist is just too expensive and time consuming.  I am teaching two kids and trying to keep a house up and running. I don't have time to hit the dentist office just to whiten my smile. Well this week my movie star white smile came to me in the mail. Yup I received a great little package from the Dial A Smile Professional Home Teeth Whitening system. Its called whitening Lightning its a professional home teeth whitening system. You get 3 treatments in the box and it says it will teeth 3-4 shades whiter in 20 minutes. You can find it hear www.whiteninglighting.com  and if you use this coupon code  Juliekit at check out  you can get the kit for $69.00. its a lot cheaper than going to a dentist and I can do it in my house while the kids are working on a project or napping. 

Ok so whats in the box you get 1 paper shade dial, 1 dispensing tub, 1 hand held LED light, 1 gel syringe that contains 3

treatments, 3 teeth wipes, 1 applicator brush, and 3 vitamin E swabs. and some directions.

So basically you hold this shade guide up to your teeth and determine what shade your teeth are.  First you squeeze out 1.5ml of the whitening gel into the dispensing tub. Then you use one of the teeth wipes to dry all of your teeth using a circular motion. next you snap off the blue striped end of one of the vitamin e swabs and apply it to gums and inside of lips it helps to protect your lips and gums from the whitening gel. Next you use applicator brush and brush on a generous amount of the whitening gel to your teeth. You want to be sure to smile wide to limit how much gel gets on your lips and gums. Then you turn on the LED and hold it no more than 1-2 in from your mouth for 20 minutes. The directions also say that you can put it directly in your mouth but it may cause sensitivity so do what feels comfortable. So that's the short version of the directions. 

So this after I read the directions a couple times over I decide why not give it a try. I take the little shade dial in the bathroom and determine my teeth to be between a 4 and a 5. Next up is drying my teeth with the wipes this part was not so bad and went rather quickly. I applied the vitamin E swab trying to be sure I get my gums and lips covered good.  Next comes applying the gel. try to smile big and apply this stuff to my teeth really wasn't hard because HotRod Princess was standing next to me making faces and whose not going to smile at that.. I Opt to put the light in my mouth because honestly I can see my self holding this thing 1-2 inches from my mouth while i try to smile and help the girls do class work. I set the timer for 20 minutes. ....... and I wait and wait and wait. ok who knew 20 minutes could be this long right. I feel like a total goof ball walking around the house with this blue light in my mouth but hey the girls think its funny and kept making faces at me.  My 20 min is finally up I brush off the gel and bam my teeth are noticeably whiter about 2-3 shades. I am quite happy with it so I decided to store my other two applications in the fridge( the directions say I can do that) and use it at a later date. The company does recommend not eating or drinking anything that can stain your teeth with in 24 hours.  Results will vary and how long it last depends on what you eat and drink but that goes for whitening treatments done at dentist offices also. Its also not recommended for expectant or nursing moms.

We got this cute little video in the mail this week to review I thought lets give it a shot anything to get our kids to eat healthier right. Its a simple video that basically shows kids of various ages eating fresh fruits and vegetables to show how good they are. Its a bright and Fun Video that caught my 3 year old's attention. She loved seeing the other kids her age and she loved naming the different fruits and vegetables that she saw the kids eating.  She even went to the fridge and ask to eat some of the same vegetables that the other kids were eating that she had not been willing to eat in the past. My five year old is a vegetable lover and I have never had a problem getting her to eat fruits or vegetables. I honestly thought she might get a little board with it. I was surprised to find that she liked the video. She said it was fun and she liked seeing the other kids trying the things she loves. Bell Peppers are her favorite she was excited to see other kids like them too. It defiantly encouraged and reminded them to chose healthier fruits and vegetable over unhealthy snacks. They have both been asking for vegetables for snack time this week.  This would be a great video for little ones just starting to eat table food, they always want to copy others at that age, It would have drawn my girls attention.

I can honestly recommend the Copy Kids DVD to parents with kids 6 mo to 5 Years. It might not have as much influence on a 5 year old as it would a 1year old considering there outside influences like school. Its still an enjoyable and educational DVD and If it gets them try a new fruit or vegetable than its defiantly worth a try.

Yuuki Menstrual Cup

I was given the oppertunity to review the Yuuki Menstrual cup it was given to me by the Yuuki company The

First the Stats on the Yuuki Menstrual Cup they can be found hear http://www.yuuki.cz/cz/menstruacni-kalisek/
Yuuki comes in two sizes size one and size two
size one is designed for girls and women who have not had a child Size Two is foe women who have given birth and are older than 28 years of age.


Left Size 1 Right size 2





Cup No. 1 (small):

• length   67 mm
• width (average)  42 mm
• capacity  25 ml
•  capacity to the safety ring 13 mm

Left Size 1 Right size 2

Cup No. 2 (large):

• length   75 mm
• width (average)  47 mm
• capacity  37 ml
• capacity to the safety ring  25 ml

The Yuuki menstrual cup is made from liquid silicone rubber Silopren LSR 4050 which is safe and non toxic and does not contain any dyes or  phthalates it also prevents the multiplication of bacteria.

My Yuuki cup came to me in a bubble envlope inside of a Cardboard storage tube. It also included Easy to read Instructions which i had no trouble figuring out and I believe even a young girl woul be able to understand.. I believe the Yuuki  cup is one of the more firmer feeling cups which makes it Pop open easier in my opinion. I like the angle of the suction holes I feel like it gives me a bit more wear time before it needs to be emptied. The Grip Rings on the bottom are great. They are nice and grippy and make it super easy to get a hold of when trying to remove it. So if you are a momma who has trouble with a slippery cup the Yuuki cup may be for you. It also has a very soft flexable hollow stem which makes it harder to feel.

I Know the cup comes in two sizes I have given birth to two babys and had 3 pregnancys and I am able to use either Cup. the size two cup is definatly longer than the size one so if you have a lower cervix you may have trouble with the size two not sitting high enough.  The size one does not hold as much as the size two so you would have to empty more often.  Both cups have measurement lines on them so that makes it easier to tell your gyn how much your flo is.

Cleaning is super easy like my other Cups I simply wash in warm soapy water and allow to dry good before I put it backin the storage Container. If I find the suction release holes around the rim are blocked I simply fill the cup with warm water place my hand over the top so it forms a seal and then squeez the bottom of the cup forcing the water out of the holes. I have never had a problem getting it clean.

Storage is unique with the Yuuki cup Most Menstrual cups come with a cotton or satin storage poutch but the Yuuki comes with a cardboard tube with a plastic lid for storage. I like the container but its a tad bulky for my purse so I would probable want a cloth poutch of some sort for when i need to carry it with me. They do have cloth poutches available on there site http://www.yuuki.cz/en/price/ if you wanted to buy one when you ordered your Yuuki Cup.

I believe the Yuuki Cup to be a quality product for a great price around $25 USD which is not much considering you can use it again and again for many years to come. I would have no Problems with getting one for my daughters when the time comes.
