TEETH TEETH TEETH...

     There is no denying we all love a beautiful white smile, but we struggle maintaining them! here are some natural ways to whiten your teeth! These are things you can find at home and mix yourself for a beautiful, white smile. First impressions in this world matter and having teeth that look like you don't brush them can show others that you do not care about yourself. Do not forget to always brush your teeth daily and floss. "FLOSS THEM OR TOSS THEM" in order to have beautiful teeth you MUST FLOSS YOUR TEETH. Many are not aware that flossing is just as important! Our teeth have 5 surfaces and skipping flossing means you avoid 2 surfaces of your teeth. NO BUENO (not good!) Everything connects to your heart, therefore, floss and brush my friends. Flossing is required to remove sticky bacteria, or plaque, from your teeth. Plaque generates acid, which can cause cavities, irritate the gums, and lead to gum disease. Now...Back to the whitening... Here are some natural ways to whiten your teeth:

• BAKING SODA + HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
• COCONUT OIL
• STRAWBERRIES
• LEMONS RINDS
• PLAIN BAKING SODA
• ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

Try to use these at least once a week to achieve a whiter smile sooner! All treatments take time and patience but it is well worth it and you will have a smile that shines! BOOM BABY!


FOR THOSE WHO PREFER TO BUY THAN DIY

     Here are my results with my @whitewithstyle kit. Before pic is from when I first got my kit about 6 weeks ago I took a pic and started using it twice a week. I still use it about twice a week and before xmas and New Years I did it 3 times a week. I am not a big coffee drinker but I will have it from time to time but I drink tea literally EVERYDAY! Lol I have to admit twice I accidentally bleached my gums because I have a crazy hand and put too much and thought it was no biggy but a little goes a long way. I would def recommend this product A.) because it's a complete kit and it's extremely affordable and worth it & B.) even just doing it a few times a week realllly makes a difference in the color of your teeth and it doesn't make your teeth hurt (had a prior whitener before that hurt like a  I dont know if that's happened to anyone else but this didn't do that to me lol) I have a coupon code for those who purchased this before and would like to purchase again and for first timers looking for a new teeth whitener. "_LNL_" hope you guys enjoy it and find this review helpful. P.S sorry this is so long lol

BAT, BAT, BAT YOUR LASH

       Bat, bat, bat your lash! Everyone loves a long-full pair of lashes, and the great thing is, there are multiple ways to get that look and make it last! If you coat your lashes evenly, it will weigh down the tips of the hairs, causing your lashes to straighten out after a few minutes. The best way to hold a curl is to apply a thicker coat of mascara at the root of your lashes and a lighter one toward the ends. You can achieve this by wiggling the wand back and forth at the base of your lashes , and then lightly combing through to the tips. 

     For those who prefer false lashes,

the trendier, more cost effective lash set out right now is a pair of "Mink Lashes". A brand my sister and I enjoy right now is by NUBOUNSOM. 
(Shop NUBOUNSOM) Nubounsom is 100% natural mink hair, free from any chemical processing or dyes, handmade, and custom designed lashes that are reusable up to 25 times. The great thing about these lashes is that they do not require 
any additional mascara or brushing. These lashes are applied with a 
thick layer of glue and places directly to the eye for a more glamorous look. My personal favorite is "BRISTOL", this is just one of the many styles this line has. Of all mink and regular lashes I have tried, I have found these to be the most useful and the most cost effective pair I have purchased. We were able to snag a coupon code for all of our followers and subscribers.  

  

you're interested in a pair to try or have a pair and just want a discount towards your next set, just visit the site and enter "LNL" at checkout. if you have any others you would like us to try, leave us some feed back and we will try them out and post a comparison between the brands. We Love Nubounsom, my sisters all wear this brand for a reason, they're perfect.


HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR MINK LASHES:(directly from Nu)

"BE GENTLE with mink lashes when removing them, starting at the outer corner grab the band (not the lashes) and carefully peel off the lashes towards the inner corner. With tweezers or your fingers you want to gently pull off any access glue at the lash band being careful not to tug at the actual band as this can mess up the shape of the band. Lastly, you should always place your lashes back into nubounsom's protective box! This way they hold their beautiful shape and prevent any dust from collecting on the lashes.

We suggest to AVOID putting mascara on Nubounsom mink lashes BUT as we all know we can't always do that. Therefore, the best way to remove mascara from the lashes is laying them down on a piece of paper towel and with a bit of warm water on a q-tip, gently roll it over the lashes following the natural curve of the mink hairs until the mascara is removed. It is important to not soak your lashes with water and avoid using any kind of makeup remover on them, as it can ruin the shine and quality of the fur which will limit the amount of uses you'll get out of your lashes. We all know some nights a girl just can't bother to take off her makeup, but please be sure to remove your lashes with the care advised above, as it is important in order to maintain the longevity of your lashes."

HOW TO CARE FOR WINTER SKIN

Your wardrobe changes from season to season, so should your skin care routine. Its important that we take the necessary steps to keep our skin soft and flake free. We provided some of our favorite tips for the winter for every skin type.

Tips for avoiding winter-dry skin this season:

1. Avoid using harsh peels, masks, and alcohol-based toners or astringents. These dry your skin out more and can leave your skin flakey. 
2. Use face masks that are “deeply hydrating” rather or more often than clay-based, which tends to draw moisture out of the face. If you properly moisturize after, this is OK.
3. Use a face serum in addition to your daily moisturizer
4. Avoid hot showers and limit the time spent in them. Hot water strips your skin of its natural oils. Use a moisturizer before and after your showers, keep the temp of showers "warm". We like to use coconut oil before and after.
5. Look for lotions containing “humectants,” a class of substances (including glycerine, sorbitol, and alpha-hydroxy acids) that attract moisture to your skin and keeps your skin as hydrated as possible.
6. Switch up your face wash for a cleansing milk or mild foaming cleanser.
7. DRINK MORE WATER. Water is a great way to keep your skin hydrated, glowing, and flake-free. 

In the winter, we change up some of the products we use daily. Here are our pics for winter:
