When I was a teenager I used to love makeup, getting ready, doing my hair and trying out new looks. I remember getting up an hour, hour and half…..two hours early just to start getting ready. I wouldn’t go anywhere without being ‘ready’. Not even to the run an errand. Because after all, you never knew who you would run into.
Flash forward. Now my friends call and ask “What are you doing?” and my response is “I’m seeing if I’m at least on the low end of what is socially acceptable to run to the store.” Luckily I’m not alone, because her answer is “Oh my standards aren’t very high anymore.” Nope.
Listen – It’s more of a priority and I make an effort to do my hair and makeup more. But I’m busy. I’m a mom. I run a business. Working from home is amazing, but the hard part is actually to stop working. There is always one more thing. My beauty routine on most days is about as minimal as it comes (although I do like to go all out every once in a while!) and I need products that are perfect for keeping up with my lifestyle. And that includes everything from my skin care products to my toothbrush.
I have been absolutely loving my Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Whitening Pen that I have been using for the past few months. The bristles give me the perfect pressure for brushing. And the whitening pen starts yielding results in as little as 2 days. TWO days people!
And let’s talk about the genius design. It may look like a regular toothbrush, but it’s one of those things that makes you think “Why has this not been done before?!” The base of the toothbrush actually slides out of the toothbrush revealing the whitening pen. A couple clicks and you are ready to apply. The compact design makes it a breeze to travel with as well. You can apply the gel right after you brush. No waiting. And no rinsing. Seriously it only takes a few seconds making it a perfect match for my busy lifestyle.
But does it work? YES! Check out these before and afters!
