Bachelorette Bash


Last weekend my three best friends and I went down to South Beach for my bachelorette party! To say we had fun would be an understatement - from the chic condo (which promptly became covered in banners, balloons, confetti and clothes!), amazing food (sushi at Zuma was life-changing!), brunching for hours with bottomless mimosas, pool party at Fontainebleau, and everything in between. So thankful for these girls and a weekend full of a million laughs and even more memories!

Smile Brilliant At-Home Whitening Kit

{beauty essentials: bright lipstick & Smile Brilliant teeth whitening trays}

Like most people, I can't start my day without a cup of coffee. It's not the caffeine that I crave first thing in the morning, but rather the ritual of waking up slowly while I enjoy a cup, simultaneously listening to the news, reading blogs and talking with Greg. I've had this daily coffee habit for half of my life, and unfortunately my teeth are proof. 

As soon as we started planning our wedding, I began thinking about the little beauty details that would help make me feel my absolute best on the big day. Teeth whitening was near the top of the list so I was thrilled when Smile Brilliant contacted me to try their at-home teeth whitening trays. The process was super simple: they mailed me a kit to create my dental impressions, I sent them back and then received my custom-fitted whitening trays with the teeth whitening and desensitizing gels. I used them for 2 weeks, every other night for 60-90 minutes while I caught up on my Netflix shows. I have mild teeth sensitivity so I requested the desensitizing gel just in case, but ended up not needing to use it, as the discomfort subsided after the first few minutes. If that is a concern of yours, I would recommend using the desensitizing gel after whitening.

The results started to show about a week into the process and I'm very pleased with how white my teeth look after two full weeks of using the whitening trays. It easily became part of my nightly routine and I would sometimes forget I was even wearing them. I will definitely use the whitening gel again before October 7th to make sure my smile is bright and white alongside my wedding gown.
