Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Whitening Pen

Almost everyone wants whiter teeth, but the trays are messy, and getting teeth professionally whitened is expensive.  Then comes the Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Whitening Pen. This product claims to start working in a day and it made good on than promise.  I saw a difference right away. The way it works is that you first brush your teeth as you normally would, and then you take the pen and use a few drops of the gel and let it dissolve naturally. You then can store the gel pen in the toothbrush. This can be found in local retail stores as well as on Amazon here.

This great item, along with other similar high quality, natural and environmentally friendly beauty products like it can be found at The Choosy Chick. Another favorite item at this store is Kari Gran Lip Whip  - Lip Balm meets lipstick for a great-smelling, smooth texture and cute packaged item that the girls love. Check out the Choosy Chick.

Hannah adds: “The lavender peppermint scrub was amazing. Very hydrating. Oddly enough and I felt that the peppermint may have cured my cold. Lol.”

iLuminate folding travel mirror

Most compact mirrors are really way too small. The iLuminate folding travel mirror with 1X, 5X magnification and lights is just the right size.  It is large enough to see your whole face, but convenient enough to fit in a purse or backpack.  Once we put the batteries in this, all of the ladies in the house wanted it.  This is great for places with low light or for the girl who just likes to see her whole face when she is doing a touch up.  The iLuminate can be purchased at Amazon here.
