SUPER FLOSS


I can honestly say that until a few days ago I hadn't flossed since about 3 years ago. Hold on, hold on, before you judge me, this is due to me having braces. Yep I have 'em, which is something you probably didn't know about me. So basically since I first got my braces me (and my dentist) always dismissed flossing as they and I believed that you simply couldn't floss with braces as the wires are in the way.

However, when I was roaming the isles of Boots I came across a packet of 'Super floss' by Oral-B, which is basically a threader with floss attached to one end. I was amazed that I'd never even heard of, let alone seen anything like this before. Floss threaders allow you to floss by threading the solid tip underneath the brace wire, so that you can floss like you would before. Even though its more time-consuming and can be a bit fiddly to begin with, it means that your teeth and gums will be much healthier! - As flossing is a whole lot more important when you have braces.
I really don't understand why the dentist/orthodontist never recommended these, as I believe that they aren't a brand new product as when I did my research when I got home (you know me), I found a lot of people on YouTube who have spoke about them too. Although, the people were from the USA so maybe they just aren't as well-known here as they are there.
Anyways, back to the product. It comes in a small box as you can see in the picture, containing lots and lots of floss threaders which seem as if they'll last you a long, long time.

I'm so pleased that I've finally found this product, too bad that I discovered it when I'm near the end of my orthodontic journey (hopefully).

I recommend any type of floss threader to everyone who has braces and hasn't been flossing as a result of believing that they just couldn't.

Thank you for reading, luvs!

My New Loves

Hello darlingsss,


Its been a while since I've done one of these types of posts. The following below are a few examples of my some of my recent favourite stuff.

BLUEBERRY JAM :p

Oh my lord, how have I only just discovered this stuff?! Actually, I take that back.. I believe that I might have actually had this jam before but when I was very young, in which case I don't remember much. Has it been only recently that I'm reunited with it, and completely OBSESSED with it. Correct, I have been spreading this spread of heaven on my toast nearly every day ever since I purchased it a few weeks ago.
You're probably thinking: How is blueberry jam different to regular strawberry jam? I guess, well, it tastes more... blueberryish? It just is different okay!



CRIS CAB
If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know how much I have been loving Cris Cab's music lately. His voice is just, oh so perfect. He has a very unique, cool, refreshing sound. You just have to listen for yourself to be frank. Once you click 1 song, you won't be able to stop. Here's one of his covers which I adore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBEZKR2iQds




BLENDING BRUSH
This is just a plain, basic fluffy brush from Amazon, and yes, it was cheap.
...Between me and you, this is my first ever blending brush! I only bought my first one just a few months ago... 'Don't judge me' Haha. I never understood the importance of one until recently, and its made blending eye shadow a whole lot more effective than when I was just using my finger and a weird, not-proper-blending brush.


HOMEWORK/REVISION
Haha, just kidding! But seriously, homework and revision is TAKING OVER my life right now! The perks of being in your last year of High School huh. So as you can tell, I looove this stuff, and have been doing it very frequently recently, and will continue to do so until it kills me. (Oh and by the way, the work you see in the picture is only 1% of it- I couldn't fit it all in.)


MISS SPORTY NAIL POLISH: #525


I'm actually not sure what the name of this colour is, all it says on the bottle is the number '525'. But anyway, I love this nail varnish as it creates a simple yet elegant look whilst being long lasting as well! The brush is a maxi brush which I personally appreciate as it makes painting the nails faster and more even, I believe.


COLGATE SENSITIVE / WHITENING TOOTHPASTE



This is the only tooth paste which actually works for me at whitening, as my teeth are just that yellow. (joking). For the first time ever, I have received comments on how white my teeth look, I was so stunned as I never really noticed, and never thought of my teeth as being noticeably white. I recommend this toothpaste for anyone that wants white and protected teeth!



IMPULSE MINI SPRAYS
I received these as a Christmas gift, and I must say they are like my babies. They are fun-sized so they're very convenient to carry around with you. And who am I kidding, who doesn't like the scents from Impulse?



Not again... IMPERIAL LEATHER SHOWER GEL


If you're a regular reader, (which I doubt anyone is) you may remember seeing one of these loves before in some of my posts. Yeah, I STILL believe that their Citrus Burst shower gel is by far the nicest thing I have ever smelt! And as you can see, I have used it A LOT. As for the one next to it 'Ocean Fresh' is a really lovely, refreshing, aquatic scent which reminds me of summer and the beach. But nothing can beat my beloved Citrus Burst.



ELNETT HEAT PROTECTING SPRAY


This stuff is amazing! Whilst protecting my hair from heat damage, it also smells lov-e-ly and makes my hair super soft and smooth. Being on the pricier side of the high street, it does the job right with extra bonuses. Plus I've had it for a while and I'm no where near running out yet.



As always, thank you for reading!

Love and Peace,
