It’s nearly that time of year again when we all eat a little too much and overindulge more than we normally do, or probably should, but while we’re enjoying all of the cranberry sauce, red wine and cherry pie, do any of us actually stop and think about what all those yummy red foods and drink do to our teeth?  I know I certainly don’t.  While we may not actually be worried about the effects of those things on Thanksgiving, none of us want the aftermath (red stains on our teeth) showing up for those all important holiday cards, but no worries, I have a secret weapon again food stains that you’re definitely going to want to utilize to ensure a gorgeous, white smile in no time…Rembrandt.

Some of you may remember me posting about Rembrandt once or twice (or several times) and the reason that I keep coming back to post again and again, is because I love and use the Rembrandt line of products every day and I have for years.  I’ve tried many (and I do mean many) expensive whitening products through the years, but I keep coming back to Rembrandt time and again because they always deliver superior whitening, without costing a fortune, something this frugal mom can definitely appreciate.  If you’ve never tried Rembrandt, what better time to check them out than in time for all of those Thanksgiving goodies that can wreak havoc on your smile, after all, you don’t want Thanksgiving to turn into Stainsgiving!

With leaves turning into beautiful shades of auburn and crimson, fall is finally here! However, as the holidays near, fall foliage isn’t the only thing that will turn. From cranberry sauce, cherry pie and red wine, all those yummy Stainsgiving treats will turn your pearly whites into a darkened mess!

The REMBRANDT® IINTENSE STAIN® stain dissolving strips and Rembrandt Intense Stain Toothpaste are perfect for a whitening boost before a holiday party or on that long drive to your in-laws. Targeted to remove tough stains from smoking, coffee, tea, and red wine, these user-friendly strips dissolve in just 10-15 minutes, giving you noticeably whiter teeth in just 2 weeks! Ideal for on the go beauty, these strips are perfect for that extra whitening kick needed around the holidays.  Avoid a Stainsgiving disaster by using REMBRANDT® to brighten your smile and keep you looking your best during this holiday season!

While I am always hesitant to admit it, I’m a smoker and everyone knows how much of a toll smoking can take on your teeth, so that’s the reason I originally started using Rembrandt several years ago and today, it’s become just part of my daily routine.  One of the reasons that I prefer Rembrandt whitening products to other brands is because it works great without causing pain for my very sensitive teeth.  Most whitening products that I've tried have either been so strong that they cause too much sensitivity for me to use them effectively, or not strong enough to whiten effectively, but Rembrandt offers the best of both worlds!  I use the Rembrandt Intense Stain toothpaste daily, the 2 Hour Whitening Kit at least once a month and the Rembrandt Intense Stain Dissolving Strips in between, it’s a routine that has worked well for me through the years and one that I’m always more than happy to share with anyone who asks!  If you’re looking for a little help keeping those pearly whites white this holiday season, I definitely recommend the Rembrandt Intense Stain line of products. 

WIN IT!

I love summer, the sights, the sounds, the smells and speaking of summer smells, the one scent that always brings to mind summer for me is fresh, juicy citrus and what better way to instantly invoke the powerful memories of summer (even when summer is long gone) than by wearing a scent that reminds you of the best time of year?  Lucky for me (and you) I discovered a great company who take natural products to the next level, producing healthy fragrances (and a whole line of natural products) that smell amazing while being all natural—Lavanila!

If you’re not familiar with Lavanila, I can’t wait to introduce you, they’ve quickly become a favorite of mine for fragrance and I’m sure you’ll love them too!

The Lavanila Promise:
To deliver a new generation of healthy and luxurious beauty products, rich in natural and organic ingredients, free from harsh chemicals and clinically proven to be effective, safe and nourishing.

I love that Lavanila is devoted to bringing their customers beauty products that are good for them and not full of harsh chemicals that so many beauty products contain.  Their commitment to providing products that are as good for the environment as they are for their customers, definitely make Lavanila a company that I can be proud to give my business to.

I had the chance recently to check out one of Lavanila’s two summer citrus fragrances that they describe as being  “everything that’s good for you and nothing that’s not”.  Lavanila’s summer citrus fragrances are fruity, sophisticated scents that instantly bring to mind a gorgeous, bright, sunny summer day.

  • The Healthy Fragrance in Fresh Vanilla Lemon: Make an airy impression with this modern citrus blend of vanilla, crisp lemon, fresh bamboo and lush watery fruits. 
  • The Healthy Fragrance in Vanilla Grapefruit: An Uplifting Citrus. This invigorating blend of sparkling grapefruit, crisp sandalwood, lime, and Madagascar vanilla is created by master natural perfumers who use only the finest pure essential oils.  

I received the Healthy Roller-Ball Vanilla Grapefruit fragrance from Lavanila to review and I was instantly a fan.  When choosing a fragrance, I tend to stick to light, fresh, floral, and fruity scents because they seem to instantly brighten my mood and make my day better and the Lavanila summer citrus scents are right on the money.  I was afraid that maybe the grapefruit scent would overpower the other scents in the fragrance, but it is a perfect balance of all of the scents that combine to create the Vanillla Grapefruit—it’s definitely a fragrance that you have to check out—you won’t be sorry that you did.  And don’t forget that Lavanila offers a wide variety of beauty products that are all natural, good for you and good for the earth—it’s a win, win, win!
