Between work, my side job (blogging, duh!), kids, our home, pets, activities, and everything else, it can get pretty difficult to make time for myself. On a daily basis I don’t do much to my hair, I wear very minimal makeup, and sometimes I get the urge to refresh simply to feel like myself and not just a crazy busy mess of a mom.

When I start to feel like I’m losing myself, there are some things I do to make myself feel better. Here are some self care ideas for moms.
Take a bath with all the frills
Face and hair masks
Get my nails done
Go to bed extremely early
Buy a fancy coffee
When Smile Brilliant reached out to me and asked if I wanted to try their whitening system, I was ecstatic. I’ve been whitening my teeth at home for years using drugstore kits, but always had a lot of sensitivity issues. I had always wanted to take the leap and get professional whitening done, but whitening visits would be just another thing to add to my always full planner.
The entire Smile Brilliant process was easier than I could have ever possibly imagined. I gave them a bit of my dental history and the next thing I knew, a kit was waiting for me at the post office. I was able to do my own dental impressions and send them off to be made into whitening trays specifically fit for my teeth (they even provided the envelope!).
When I received my whitening trays a few weeks later, the process began! Within days, I started to notice a difference, and in about a week my teeth were sparkling. Check out the before and after photo below!
In the end, my entire Smile Brilliant experience was super easy and yielded fantastic results.
If you’re interested in brightening up your smile, I highly suggest taking a look at the Smile Brilliant website and learning about teeth whitening. You can check out all of the kit options, or watch a fun tutorial and decide which one is right for you.
