“What life event would you whiten for in just two hours?”

With a blogger networking event and a parent/teacher conference scheduled in just a few days, this mama is well under pressure for looking good!  So when I was given the opportunity to provide you with a product review on Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips I couldn’t wait to begin the process and fill you in on the details as it is promised to remove tooth stains in under 2 hours, with no messy residue.

As someone who likes to smile and yap alot about my adventures in motherhood I am sometimes self conscious about my non bright white smile.  Being a mom is hectic enough so finding the time to schedule a dentist appointment for a teeth whitening process seems like torture, let alone finding the money for this expensive process is unheard of. So, when the folks at Crest sent me over a a box of Crest 3D White 2 Hour Whitestrips ($54.99, 4 treatments) to try and offer my readers a before and after post* I jumped at the chance.

Inside the box was 4 treatments (each with 1 upper and 1 lower strip). There was also an instruction manual (remember to read before applying the treatment) and coupons for future Crest purchases, one of the coupons was $7 off a box of the strips! You can’t beat that! Click here for coupons.

Ok, so far so good, now I am all set for application…stay tuned!

*Please note that this post is a testimonial before applying the treatments, check back on or before September 12 for the final reveal*

We East Coasters were definetly shaken up by yesterday’s earthquake (5.9 magnitude). The earthquake centered around the Virginia area, but it was still felt in Washington D.C., New York, Boston and even as far north as Connecticut.

With some schools already in session, the evacuation plan took effect, which made some kids scared and unsure about what was going on.  Geez, who could blame then.  So with my toddler attending nursery school this September, it leaves me to wonder…how do you explain to your kid’s about natural disasters? and how do you keep them safe and calm if they are not with you?

With all these thoughts in my mind, I went online and came across The FEMA (The Federal Emergency Management Association) website.  I was glad to learn that they had some great advice and recommendations on how to plan & prepare for an earthquake, hurricane or tornado:

* Stay calm: Guess this is easier said that done, but remember, our kids look to us for comfort and support, so keep this in mind, besides you’ll lose total creditability if you act scared.  FEMA recommends taking cover under a sturdy table or piece of furniture.

* If your child wasn’t with you during the quake: Once they come home from school, talk to your kids about what they might have felt or heard from their peers, ask them if they have any questions, and go over what the family should do if a quake happens again. Comfort them and continue to tell them that everything is okay.

* Educate: Teach your kids how and when to call 9-1-1 or fire department.

As always, no matter what disaster may occur in or outside of your home, continue to watch your child’s behavior for any signs of anxiety or changes.

You and The First Trimester

While you and your mate enthusiastically prepare for the arrival of a bundle of joy, the entire process including the changes in your body will affect you in not so pleasant ways.

I have had the honor to work with women throughout their pregnancies, also have polled several new moms including those on their 3rd child on the gestational experience and their response is the same: the first few weeks are a combo of happiness, anxiety, morning sickness -which can happen at any time in the day, throughout the pregnancy.

In this article I will attempt to offer indigenous tips to keep a balanced “Body Mind Spirit” for you and your baby. The highlighted words will be for your interest in more comprehensive information on wellness.

Intuition: With a new Life in the womb, outside of all the emotional positive stress, your intuition is also expanding. Follow it! It is your ultimate guide. Take time for yourself and meditate. Meditation is simply creating a space to experience stillness and hear this growing instinct. View Post
