While we all have our insecurities, my smile has always been something I was proud of. My friends tell me all the time I have a permaSMILE. Life is too short to frown, which was a fun fact about me here. I was lucky enough to get braces in 8th grade and only had to wear them for a year before they were taken off right after I started my freshman year in high school. I started using whitening strips to brighten up my teeth for homecomings and proms because let’s be real it was more affordable as a teenager then going in for a treatment at the dental office. I became obsessed with white, straight teeth as an adolescent and it hasn’t changed. It’s the first thing I notice when I meet someone. To me, white teeth look healthier and it makes me feel more confident and beautiful in my own skin.

A smile can also hide so many feelings…fear, sadness, heartbreak, stress but it also shows one other thing — strength. I know I’ve been MIA lately on the blog but life just got so busy and overwhelming I needed to take a break. You can view that post here. Not many people know but I do juggle three different professions, all of which I love and am passionate about. I work as a sales and marketing guru, real estate agent and style consultant all while maintaining the blog and insta to stay engaged and consistent with my followers. To say I am busy is an understatement. I am in meetings all day, every day meeting clients and prospects presenting sales pitches and product education. As a busy, young professional, nothing you wear is more important than your smile. I truly believe when you look good, you feel good and my smile helps me conquer each day to crush it like a Boss.

My schedule can be hectic and I am always on the go. I don’t drink coffee (crazy, I know) but I do love drinking tea and red wine. Using Smile Brilliant has been so convenient. Since I am in meetings all day, when I get home is the time I am able to play catch up i.e. respond to emails/texts, sort through photos, work on the blog, get outfits together for my shoots, do laundry, clean, get my life organized for the next day, have a glass of wine to wind down, whiten my teeth and hopefully get some sleep in between somewhere.

I’ve used whitening strips since high school on and off. It’s been a few years since I last used them. They give me the results I am looking for but they do make my teeth super sensitive afterwards. With Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening Kit, I answered a few questions about my dental history and because I specified that my teeth gets sensitive, they also sent me a desensitizing gel to use after whitening. The kit comes with a paste so you can create your own customized impressions of your teeth, which I thought was pretty cool to avoid it from slipping off like the strips. I created my impressions around 3am after a long day of work so the first mold did not work out. Thankfully, the kit provides you with 3 sets of paste just in case you mess up. After you create the molds, you send it back in the provided envelop and I received my whitening trays a week later. The entire process was simple, fast and user-friendly.

I whitened my teeth every night for a week before bed. In the midst of that week, I was also traveling so the kit was small and convenient to take with me so I could use it on the go. I noticed my teeth got brighter after a few uses and my friends noticed as well. As I am sorting through photos for the blog, I also noticed that my teeth look brighter in pictures. Overall, I loved the product and have recommended it to family and friends. The kit comes with several packets of whitening and desensitizing gel that I can’t wait to use before I shoot and before events in wedding season that is fast approaching us.
