COCOWHITE FAIL

    

 Day 1

Day 14

I had very high expectations of this product as I have never seen a single bad review about it, hey maybe I'll be the first!  

The thing that attracted me to cocowhite so much is that I had seen a hell of a lot of celebrities promoting the product on social media and when I saw the price it just made me instantly need it in my life.  Its only £19.99 for 14 satches, which is so much cheaper than I expected as other tooth whitening kits are normally super expensive, well in my eyes anyway.  Another thing that gravitated me towards it was reading about all of it's benefiting properties to not only your oral health but your skin, mental and overall bodily health.  It apparently reduces headaches, help get your skin in better condition and makes you feel more energized.  All of this whilst making your smile brighter, decreasing bad breath, and fighting against bacteria and plaque on the teeth/gums.  

Honestly though, I don't believe that this product did any of those things, well not that I could recall on anyway.  My body felt pretty much the same, my skin actually had some pretty bad breakouts during the 14 days, although I kinda label that down to menstruation, I'm not too sure if my breath got any fresher as I chew gum pretty much every day normally.  But most importantly I didn't notice my teeth become any whiter, no one around me noticed any difference either which was disappointing, as that's the main reason I tried oil pulling in the first place! 

 I followed the manufacturers instructions and swirled the coconut oil round and around for 15 minutes (which isn't as difficult as you think), sometimes a little longer to get the full effect.  I did this every night before I brushed, as recommend.  So I have completely no idea as to what went wrong, as I've seen pictures online where people have shown that their teeth became significantly whiter as early as 3 days into the process!  Perhaps they were using bleaching products as well or something, who knows.  

However I do use a whitening toothpaste, and even my bloody chewing gum has whitening maintaining properties!  Maybe if I just used cocowhite alone my teeth would have actually gotten more yellow... haha. 

I would still recommend trying this out for yourself as some people have been luckier than me with their results it seems, and considering how affordable the price is you might as well just give it a go if you're curious, otherwise you'll never know.  The product caused no harm to me so I have nothing extremely specific to complain about, I'm just a little disappointed that my teeth didn't make the transformation that I have seen on others after the 2 week period.  (Which, can I just say, went so quickly!)

I just wanted to warn you with this post to not get your hopes up too high about this product, as I feel as if I've been deceived slightly. 

Until next time,

All time favourite apps 

Hey hey hey,

I don't actually have that many apps on my iPhone, but the ones I do have I sure get good use out of!  This is because I don't really like to have random apps that I hardly even use just lurking around on my phone  taking up space, I guess I'm a bit OCD like that... 

But anyway, in today's post I've decided to share with you the apps that I frequently use and love.  I personally love reading/watching these posts/videos myself as I'm always on the lookout for new apps. 

Número uno~ my favourite social apps are of course Instagram/Twitter/Snapchat/Facebook etc, but I don't need to explain those for you as I'm pretty sure you already know the drill.  

So let's start the list again shall we...

1. Vinted:  If you're always online shopping and love to find great bargains, then you seriously should have Vinted on your phone!  It's basically like eBay for fashion except you don't bid on items.  I personally haven't bought anything off there myself yet, but I love going on there to browse through different clothes and deals.  This app is great because you can enter your size of clothing/shoes and that way only items in your size show up on your news feed, and you can follow your favourite brands and see what other people are selling within that brand, it's so cool! 

2. Whisper:  Shhh, don't tell anyone but  I confess all of my darkest secrets to the world of whisper... Okay not dark, just secrets haha.  But seriously whisper is such a good app to have on your phone when you just want to let your thoughts out into the open, whatever they may be.   And the best part is that you can stay anonymous, so you don't have to worry about anyone you know finding your posts on there!  Similar to Instagram, there's a popular page of what people around the world are 'whispering' and you can like/comment on them.  The only down side to this app is that you sometimes get pervs on there asking for personal details and ridiculous questions and what not, but I guess you get that everywhere online these days. 

3. SoundCloud:  I'm sure most of you know what SoundCloud is, but if you don't it's basically an app that let's you listen to free music, I use it instead of YouTube sometimes as you can lock your phone screen and it still plays.  The downside to this app is that you can't find every song you want and sometimes you can only find remixes and covers (shit) of the song you want when all you want is the original.  Music is seriously my biggest addiction so I cannot live without this app!  (I'm currently listening to Shut Up And Dance by Walk The Moon as I type this). 

4. CheckMark:  If you're like me and are constantly forgetting your to-do list, then you need this app.  There is no way of forgetting when this app notifies you like an alarm when you're getting close to your deadline and it has a constant little red number next to the app to remind you whenever you look on your home screen which accords to how ever many jobs you have to do.  The thing I most love about this is that you can check off your tasks when you've done them, which to me is sooo satisfying! 

5. National Rail:  Since I use trains to travel quite a lot, this app is perfect for me as I can check what time my train is coming, what platform it's on, if it's been delayed, etc.  It is a life saver! 

6. Google Translate: This may seem a bit weird to you that this is one of my fav apps but let me tell you that it does actually come in handy for me!  For example, there may be a time that I'm reading something or I hear a foreign word on TV and want to know the translation of it, and instead of going onto google and typing it all in, it's so much quicker to just use this app!  Or if I'm bored and just curious about words in other languages, I'll have a quick play on it, it can be way more fun than you may think! 

7. Pinterest:  I only downloaded Pinterest at around the end of last year, but if you're a creative person then this is definitely the app for you.  You can find just about anything on Pinterest and it's full of creative, artsy content and even tips and advice on subjects.  I certainly get a lot of my makeup inspiration from here and it helps clear my mind to pin all of my ideas onto digital pin boards. 

8. Bloglovin:  This one's an obvious one, you may even be reading this on bloglovin' right now!  Bloglovin' is usually responsible for my inspiration and motivation to blog, so therefore I thank it greatly.  I scroll through it like it's the morning newspaper.  Even if you don't have a blog yourself but just like to read posts, you NEED to get this app if you haven't already, once you do you will never take it off your phone!   

9. InstaSize: Ever taken a picture that's perfect and you can't wait to upload it to Instagram, but when you try to, you realize that it doesn't fit the square required? We've all been there, but with InstaSize you will never have to sacrifice an amazing picture again!  It adjusts the size of your picture making it a suitable fit, allowing you to upload it straight to Insta. There are also some cool effects and features on this app besides the adjusting of size which I use frequently as well.

10. VSCOcam:  Your pictures will look 'so tumblr' after using this app, it has the most indie effects you will ever find, transforming my boring pictures to cool ones.  Seriously good for photographers as well!  It's my go-to editing app for sure. 

Please do comment YOUR favourite apps below, I'd absolutely love to see them as like I said earlier, I'm always on the hunt for more apps!
