Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening System

I've always been self-conscious about the color of my teeth. I drink a lot of tea... up to three cups a day. I'm always looking for a product that will whiten them without sensitivity or pain.

Now that I'm going to start to do more FOTD's, smiling with whiter teeth would be a definite plus. I've heard a lot of good things about Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening System, so I decided to give it a try.

Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening Kit. In as little as five minutes, right at home, you can begin to take advantage of the same process dentists use (oxygenating action) to gently but effectively lift away stains. Now with the bleaching power of Plus White, whitening will begin to work with the first application and you will see whiter brighter teeth within days!
Each kit comes with:

• Plus White Tartar Control Pre-Whitener Rinse 
• Plus White One Step 5 Minute Speed Whitening Gel
• Mouthpiece

I tried my best to do EVERYTHING right. I have sensitive teeth and I didn't want to make them overly sensitive by a stupid mistake. In case anyone is curious this is what I did.

1. A cap of the Plus White Tartar Control Pre-Whitener Rinse into a empty container.
2. Then add three parts water to dilute the rinse.
3. I swirled the contents around in my mouth for 3 minutes and then emptied.
4. Brushed my teeth without toothpaste and then rinsed my mouth with water.
5. Lastly, I put the Plus White One Step 5 Minute Speed Whitening Gel into the mouthpiece.

I made sure that the gel did NOT get on my gums. I wiped off the excess with a q-tip. This is a product that has to be used for like a week or two to see results.

I tried it for three days and I didn't see a huge difference. I did not keep it on for more than 5 minutes each session. Although, it claims "for badly stained or yellow teeth, allow 15-20 minutes". I didn't think I fit that category.

I think I'll try it again at a later time to see if there will be a difference.

What do you guys think about whitening products?

Korres Body Butter is an office hit!

In each office everyone is known for something different. There`s the lady with the best candy at her desk and then there's me....the cream lady. If you come to my desk I have several different creams but one of them has them coming back. 

It`s Korres Body Butter in Lemon Basil!

Yes that my desk with the pear and water and no I didn't stage it..haha

A rich, luxurious cream enriched with shea butter and scented with the fresh scent of green spice and lemon zest.

I've been a big fan of Korres for a while. Dating back to the days when I use to cruise the aisles at Sephora. Truthfully the whole idea of Basil Lemon is not my ideal scent. I`m more of a sweet cream kind of girl but I was pleasantly surprised by this body butter. The Basil Lemon scent was not strong or overpowering. There was a great balance of both scents.

One of my coworkers was very impressed on how moisturizing it was without the greasiness. I think it's because of the great ingredients like sweet almond and sunflower seed oil.

Not only is this perfect for your hands. Its also great for areas that don't get a lot of love in the winter like your knees and elbows.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan  

I'm thinking about taking this tube home because I need it to last me through the winter.
Canadians did you know that you can get Korres at Shoppers Drug Mart?

Have you tried anything from Korres before?
