Say Cheese !

I'm a sucker for certain products (no, really?) but I'm still going to gush about my latest find. I love Go Smile's new AM and PM toothpaste kit. The paste is supposed to keep your teeth white, but I find it to be very calming and, well, soft on my teeth. I'm a teeth person. Not everyone is a teeth person. But if you find that you need a little pick me up, and you're not looking to spend a fortune, pick up some Go Smile toothpaste. Nothing against Crest and Colgate, but sometimes you need a little gourmet. Life's short. Go gourmet. You can find it online at www.gosmile.com. It's also available at Sephora. P.S. I've tried the company's other tooth whitening products, too, and I like their concept. Compact, clean, disposable and you don't have to worry about swallowing them. (I once swallowed a Crest white strip)

By the way, I want to thank my reader who has now enlightened me about the properties of quince. Apparently it's a forbidden fruit, a mix of pear and apple.


Top Shelf Recommendation: Green tea for its antioxidant properties. I bought some with mint. One tea bag with one pack of Splenda. Boil water and pour. Enjoy.

Airplane Lips and Hands

Why are airplanes so drying? Sometimes it feels as if the moisture is being sucked right out of my skin. Today I look a little like a lizard, even though I tried to stay hydrated both during and after my flight. At least there are products that provide relief. That's what it's all about. Finding the perfect products to alleviate things like the stress of flying. Imagine if someone made hand cream with a touch of valium that could be absorbed into the body. Rub it on your hands and your whole body floats. Ok, I better come back down to planet earth right now.


Top Shelf Recommendation: Aveeno Positively Radiant Lip Enhancer. I just coated my lips with this product. Right now they feel shiny and comforted. It's kind of like a lip balm, minus the pot and goo. I bought it at Walgreens.
