At Home Spa Beauty: truewhite Luce Express White Plus

· Leave a Comment

 

When I was a kid, my dentist called my teeth his little pearls. Then one day I discovered coffee and soon he stopped saying that. Coffee, tea and red wine are the go-to beverages of many of us, but despite their numerous energy, health and beauty benefits, they all hold in common the ability to stain teeth a dingy, unhealthy looking yellow, which appears very aging. Whiten teeth conveniently at home with the truewhite Luce Express White Plus System.

I’m not giving up coffee. I’ve tried plenty of whitening products in my coffee-swilling day including toothpaste, whitening mouthwashes, and whitening strips.

TEETH WHITENING OPTIONS: WHY CHOOSE BLUE LIGHT LED

While whitening toothpaste and whitening strips can remove the yellowing of the teeth, they don’t restore that pearly look. I had a professional LED teeth whitening session that made a surprising difference in how young my smile looked. That was, of course, many cups of coffee ago, and it’s time to whiten my teeth again.

While the LED sessions at the dentist are not painful, they can get expensive for a process you can easily do at home with the right tools. There are tons of whitening products on the market, and many of them are not so effective. I find that whitening strips do help remove stains, but they are slow and limited to very surface-level discoloration.

FINDING AN AT-HOME WHITENING SYSTEM THAT WORKS

How do you know a good whitening at-home system when you see it? The key is getting a powerful and effective whitening gel, which the majority of dental whitening products do NOT contain, and pair this with LED blue light to activate said gel. The lack of light-activated gel is in part why whitening strips or whitening toothpaste helps but only can do so much. Strips and toothpaste temporarily bleach teeth, they can’t compete with a light-activated gel tooth whitening process.

ABOUT TRUEWHITE LUCE

Truewhite Luce meets both of these criteria for effective home whitening: a dental grade whitening gel paired with a blue five-LED accelerator light that is powerful enough to activate the gels’ whitening capability and increases oxygenation. The five-LED light is superior to many competitor products, most of which are one or two lights.

The kit comes with:

  • GEL:  One twist-pen to brush on the gel, it is similar in shape and size to the YSL Touche Eclat click-pen.
Gel dispensing brush pen

  • A mouthpiece with the LED lights

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Attach the LED mouthpiece to the power source with the USB cord.

  1. APPLY THE GEL: Twist the pen brush to disperse the gel on the brush tip, and apply the gel to the teeth. Make sure to cover stains and discoloration well, and avoid the gum line. A thin layer can do it.

  2. Repeat additional sessions three to five times a week as needed until the desired whitening is achieved.

PUTTING TRUEWHITE LUCE TO THE TEST

The gel does not sting or irritate my teeth as can happen with some whitening products. The brush makes it very easy to apply with precision, which I prefer to kits that come with gel in a syringe that is added to a mouthpiece. With the brush design, I only get the gel where I want it. I paint in thin even coats, like when applying nail enamel. I applied extra to stained areas.

The mouthguard is not that pliable at first but it is still comfortable and it really gets in close to the teeth, so the activating light reaches even the sides of the teeth and areas that toothbrushes and even floss can’t reach well. It got softer and more pliable after it had been in my mouth a few minutes, then it was fine.

I was impressed that the LED light was so blue and pretty intense, making it much more effective than competitor teeth whitening devices.

The result? A deeper whitening treatment that reaches areas that a whitening strip misses.

TIP: This is basically like wearing a nightguard or sports mouthpiece, but for a comfortable fit, align it with the front of your teeth by placing your bite in front of the raised ledge portion to ensure proper placement and comfort.

Position the mouthpiece so the teeth fit in front of the guard line and teeth line up with the lights

Position the mouthpiece so the teeth fit in front of the guard line ridge seen in the middle and teeth line up with the lights

RESULTS

truewhite Luce does whiten teeth in one treatment and gets increasingly whiter after multiple sessions. I did a session every other night for a total of five sessions to achieve my desired level of whiteness. But the results of even one session was superior in my opinion to the results I get doing a series of at-home whitening strips. My teeth were not optimal white after one use, but they looked more “pearl-like” in luster, surface stains were removed I was very pleased to get quality results in less time than it would take me to book and wait for an appointment for a professional whitening session.

The second use I was more liberal with how much gel I put on my teeth, and saw a more whitening in this session and then in future sessions. I still recommend being sparing with the gel, as you can do multiple sessions there is no reason to overdo it in one sitting, as the gel is powerful.

The gel did not sting or burn, but it is important to apply it carefully, like they do in a professional whitening treatment, and paint in thin, even coats avoiding the gumline and lips. If you do get it on gums or lips, I recommended removing the excess with a Q-tip. I run a Q-tip swab over my gumline just to be sure.

TIP: Apply a light coat lip balm, coconut oil, or chap stick to avoid getting the gel on your lips

The results! Close up after six truewhite LUCE treatments

The results! Close up after five truewhite Luce treatments

CONCLUSION

The truewhite Luce Express White Plus Advanced Teeth Whitening System has a powerful five LED blue light that is not dangerous, or painful, and it’s simple to use.

While some DIY at-home beauty solutions just give an acceptable result, teeth whitening is one of the few areas that you can get virtually professional results at home.

It may take a few home sessions, but it is easy and convenient. The gel does not sting teeth, and it’s much easier to dispense and apply the gel, and even target one discolored tooth if necessary with this kit than with some of the competitors that have “loose gel” in a syringe that fill a mouthpiece without precision and can inadvertently whiten the gumline.

Z Skin Organic Anti-Aging System: Organic Beauty Cocktail with Fast Results

· Leave a Comment

Skin changes in the mid-thirties. Seeking an effective yet entirely organic anti-aging solution? The Z Skin Age Defying System contains eight 100% organic products with an astounding array of fast-acting, beauty superhero, all-natural ingredients.

Z Skin is all natural, organic ingredients, including ancient beauty remedies and state of the art new organic discoveries

Z Skin is all natural, organic ingredients, including ancient beauty remedies such as Aveduredic time proven skin care and the latest state of the art, new organic discoveries like highly effective Apple Stem Cells

Z Skin combines ingredients proven effective individually and when used in tandem, are marvelous. The combination of ingredients intrigued us, there is such an amazing cocktail of combinations used within the line. Ingredients include both National Institute of Health studied, state of the art newly discovered Apple Stem Cells for wrinkle reduction to centuries-old methods used is Aveduredic medicine for skin and hair beauty. There are three reasons we find this particularly interesting.

  1. If you buy these ingredients individually if you can find them, they are often pricey. The aforementioned Apple Stem Cell sells for at least $30 as a serum. Some ingredients are practically impossible to find in organic skincare.
  2. Typically, there are two or three main ingredients in a product with supporting ingredients, but nearly ALL of the ingredients in these lines are each “beauty stars” all on their own. There aren’t the filler ingredients typically seen even in organic skin care lines.  And each product boasts numerous skincare superstars.
  3. Z Skin reports that because there are so many active, effective ingredients, that it works 30 times faster than their competitors to erase fine lines, wrinkles, dark age spots, restoring hydration, all while lifting and firming. That sounds like a big get, so we decided to test the Z Skin Age Defying System for ourselves.

ABOUT THE Z SKIN AGE DEFYING SYSTEM

The Z Skin 100% Organic Age Defying System contains eight organic anti aging products for eyes, face, and neck.

It is suitable for men and women and uses numerous natural ingredients combined together to create a beauty cocktail for the skin. There is no scent to each product, but adding scent is optional.

There are a staggering number of active, organic ingredients in each product and within the line as a whole, so when used in tandem, the results are excellent. The entire line is 100% organic, anti-aging, all natural, vegan, USDA, paraben free and preservative free.

PRODUCTS IN THE Z SKIN AGE DEFYING SYSTEM SET

Face Lift Toner

Face Lift Toner contains Rosehips, Jojoba, Vitamin E, Orange, Grape, Safflower, Flaxseed, Baobab, Myrrh, Juniper Berry, Papaya, Neem, and Castor.

RESULTS: I am normally not a fan of toner because it stings and makes my face feel tight, but all of the ingredients in this toner are more hydrating and soothing than skin-stripping.

Face Lift Wash

Face Lift Wash is a lightly exfoliating cleanser that uses pumpkin, sorbic acid, bitter melon and raspberries to gently remove dry, dead skin. It also contains several humectants including honey and olive to soothe the skin. Follow using the wash with the lotion.

RESULT: Skin feels soft, hydrated and not tight or dry after use. The exfoliation is mild, but I don’t see dead skin or flakes on the surface of my skin and my face feels smooth, similar to when using a sonic facial brush.

Z Skin Lift Lotion

Z Skin Lift Lotion is an SPF 45 lotion that helps tighten, lift and lighten discoloration. Apply twice a day after washing the face. It contains:

  • Maca reduces the effects of aging and gives the skin strength.
  • Triphala is used in Averudic medicine to remove toxins.
  • Hibiscus naturally firms skin. It also contains Vitamin C to treat acne, scars, and eczema. It is called the Botox plant because it retains the skin’s elasticity, making it look younger for longer, and treats fine lines.
  • Amalaki is Amla or Indian Gooseberry, which prevents damage to skin and soothes redness.
  • Bhringarai is used in Ayurvedic medicine as an Antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory.
  • Vitamin A & D is a natural Retinol
  • Wakame is a seaweed used in several of the products.
  • Cream Tartar is excellent for adult acne.
  • Rooibos is an anti-inflammatory
  • Kelp has powerful anti-aging properties
  • Apple Stem Cells are a highly effective form of stem cells which target wrinkles.
  • Rosehip is a concentrated Vitamin C that soothes skin
  • Red Algae enhances the skin’s barrier function, replenishes moisture, and increases its moisture retention capabilities.
  • Hyaluronic acid holds its’ weight in moisturizer, plumping the skin, making fine wrinkles and mild sagging disappear temporarily. It also drives active ingredients to deep skin layers for better results.
Z Skin Face Firming Lotion contains Rosehip, Apple stem cells, Cinnamon, Coconut, Almond, Lavender, Aloe & a host of other organic goodies

RESULT: This feels light but supple on the skin, it goes on light, absorbs well and is not greasy, but does have a light dewy after the finish that I like.

DAYTIME EYE CREAM

The Daytime Eye Cream has an SPF 8 for protection around the delicate eye area. It targets dark circles, puffiness and eye bags.

Unique ingredients include Wakeme, a type of seaweed, Chamomile to soothe and Coffee to combat puffiness. Another super ingredient is Spirulina, which removes darkness around the eyes, and the slew of vitamins Spirulina contains nourishes skin until it glows.

RESULT: Let it sink in for a few minutes before applying eye makeup, but it is light and absorbs very well.

Daytime EyeCream contains Willow Bark, Camoille, Coconut, Coffee, Algae and Seaweed

NIGHTIME EYE CREAM

TARGETS: tightening, fights Crow’s feet and fine lines
CONSISTENCY: light, absorbs well

Also contains Spirulina, Wakeme, and many of the ingredients used in the rest of the product line. It also contains Tumeric, Elder Flower, Bacopa and Rose Absolute.

  • Turmeric fights inflammation, dryness, and redness.
  • Elder Flower is rich in bioflavonoids that help prevent wrinkles
  • Bacopa is Brahmi, long used in India for hair and skin. It is a free-radical fighter, which means you look younger longer.
  • Rose Absolute rejuvenates and firms skin

RESULT: I like that my eyes are not puffy in the morning after wearing this cream. My eye area does seem smoother and brighter. Crow’s feet do look a little better even after about a week.

The Nighttime Eye Cream really brings it with Almond, Coconut, Tumeric, Apple Stem Cells, Chamomile, Spirulina, Cinnamon, Willow Bark,

AGE DEFYING EXTREME MOISTURIZER

  • Age Defying Extreme Moisturizer contains deeply hydrating and moisturizing ingredients such as nutrient rich carrier oils like safflower, avocado, almond, coconut, honey, shea butter, as well as grapefruit, ginger, and cinnamon. It is for use on chapped, dry, red and irritated areas of skin.
  • RESULT: Really hydrating, very useful after sun exposure, and on dry chapped lips. I like to apply it after using the Hydroxy Face Mask.
Extreme Moisturizer contains nourishing Almond, Coconut, Cinnamon, Ginger and other organic moisturizers

AGE DEFYING HYDROXY FACE MASK

  • TARGETS: Discoloration, scars, restores healthy skin
  • Hydroxy comes in various forms, better known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids (from citrus, in this case, an acid from lemons) lactic acids (from milk) and glycolic acid, which comes from sugar, all in one mask. It is combined with several skin-supporting ingredients to fade scars and promote skin rejuvenation.
  • RESULT: I was surprised this was as effective as an all-natural product. It is an every other evening type of mask, not as powerful as a weekly or monthly treatment, but there is no dryness or redness, no recovery time.  As a side benefit, I noticed some of my stubborn blackheads loosened up. I liked the results on my throat, it reduces the appearance of the horizontal lines mid-neck. It smells of the Tartar and lemon upon application, but the scent dissipates as it dries, and I didn’t mind it since it is a treatment, not a lotion to wear all day.

AGE DEFYING NECK CREAM

Deeply hydrating, it nourishes and restores the skin with organic Shea Butter, Grape Seed, Vitamin E, Almond, Rosehip, and Orange. Grape seed is the foundation for high-end skin care lines like Caudalie and is highly effective in restoring delicate skin on areas like the throat, while still being light and easy to absorb.

TIP: Apply from jawline to chest

COLLECTIVE RESULTS

The result, when used together, makes for a formidable skin care program. I did not expect to see results as quickly as was promised, but I was especially impressed with how quickly my skin had a glow, and the improvement in fine lines and crow feet around my eyes looked better within the week. I particularly like how skin improves without redness, irritation or peeling skin.

DISTINCTIVE WORK STYLE: Boojee Beads Pastel Party Chain Fashion Lanyard

· Leave a Comment

Ever have the perfect outfit planned for work, a seminar or a conference that is ruined by having to wear a badge or nametag? How about those photo ID lanyards, typically made of that plastic-y bungee cord woven material that looks like it belongs at an amusement park? Consider instead a unique, professional, attractive yet sturdier option of a Boojee Beads Chain Fashion Lanyard.

Boojee Beads Lanyard matches many colors in my spring and summer work wardrobe

AWKWARD ID OPTIONS

Many of us go to conferences and symposiums that require some ID or name tag, which is frequently supposed to be pinned to our clothing, which tends to leave a mark or tiny pin hole. Even though everyone else at the conference is wearing them, a lanyard or lapel badge tends to be uncomfortable and cumbersome.

Many large campus work settings such as hospitals require displaying photo IDs at all times to gain access through secure doorways, requiring that some sort of lanyard is worn during work hours.

BOOJEE BEADS LANYARDS

Boojee Beads makes attractive lanyards that are styled like necklaces with attractive beads in various shapes and colors. We like the Boojee Beads Pastel Party Chain Fashion Lanyard because it has so many pretty colors that coordinate with spring and summer colors. If you tend to wear semi-precious stone rings, bracelets, earrings or other jewelry, the Boojee Beads Pastel Party Lanyard will coordinate with other gem and stone jewelry to make your ID less imposing on your general fashion style.

ABOUT THE BOOJEE BEADS PASTEL PARTY CHAIN FASHION LANYARD

The Boojee Beads lanyard hangs 19″ from the back of the neck in order to display ID badges clearly yet not be cumbersome to movement. I like this length to not disrupt the line of my clothes, it appears and drapes like a necklace.

HAND-CRAFTED

An attractive handmade piece, the various beads match several items in my work wardrobe and the colors and shapes add some sparkle and interest. There are some metallic pieces to add versatility.

MAGNETIC BREAKAWAY CLOSURE

The breakaway closure is a safer option in crowds and elevators where a badge or ID may accidentally get tangled. These magnets are surprisingly strong and will connect if they are within a few inches of each other, and they really stay put!  I like this as a clasp because it is sturdier than a traditional clasp and easier to use.

There are colleagues you only see at annual conferences, and invariably it seems when someone hugs you, a name badge gets caught. Avoid this with a breakaway clasp chain.

STURDY ID HOLDER LOOP

A sizable holder loop easily holds Photo IDs, keys, and lapel badges. It is simple to use, extra-large and secure. It is the same goldtone as the rest of the piece, so the ID is less obtrusive looking than standard IDs. The loop can be removed if one prefers not to wear just the necklace.

PUTTING THE BOOJEE BEADS LANYARD TO THE TEST

I have a Photo ID at both work and at school, it is needed to open doors and to present at check points around both campuses. I found the lanyard to be comfortable to wear, it draped nicely and it didn’t scratch my neck like fabric lanyards tend to do. I was able to hold both IDs on the larger, sturdy ID hook. I like the length as I could wear a shorter necklace at the same time and it didn’t tangle.

My ID is accessible and clearly visible for work but the Boojee Beads lanyard is not cumbersome to wear

ABOUT BOOJEE BEADS

It all started when a Katie crafted a strand of beads for her mom, Lisa, a pediatric nurse. Lisa wore the beads to work with her ID clipped to the bottom. Other hospital nurses saw it and wanted their own lanyard.  Lisa teamed up with her busy corporate career sister-in-law, Kimberly, who came up with the business plan that made this small at-home enterprise grow into a family business. The Boojee Beads lanyard necklaces are still hand-crafted, and they are now part of a charmingly curated boutique full of innovative, useful products including badge reels and fitness jewelry.

Boojee Beads is a Woman-Owned Business based that helps turn boring work IDs into a unique workplace style with hand-crafted beaded lanyards. If you dislike looking like everyone else at work and want to show your own unique style, check out Boojee Beads creative ways to wear your photo ID.

CONCLUSION

A sturdy, attractive alternative to plastic or fabric lanyards, the Boojee Beads Chain Fashion Lanyard makes photo ID less unfashionable and imposing on your outfit, adds a bit of feminine style to work attire, and has a pretty, hand-crafted artistry. Strong enough to hold ID, a few keys, or a name badge at a convention or seminar, the Boojee Beads Chain Fashion Lanyard is a unique option

Boojee Beads Pastel Party Chain Fashion Lanyard looks pretty and distinctive with my spring and summer clothes

Fashion Dilemma Solved by a BackPack for Adults: ibagbar Water Resistant Laptop Backpack with USB Charging Port

· Leave a Comment

A backpack is essential for grad students and for transporting work equipment and wares. As adults, we carry expensive gear, devices, and laptops, plus a water bottle, coffee thermos, lunch and snacks, supplies, keys, and wallets. Want a professional but relaxed bag, that it sturdy, carries a large screen laptop and has padded straps for shoulder comfort? Then check out ibagBar Water Resistant Laptop BackPack with….wait for it….a built-in USB Charging Port!

Made of water resistant material, it safely holds devices, laptop, papers and books, drawing tablets, water bottles and valuables in multiple padded compartments within a sturdy framework and features comfortable shoulder straps that put less strain on the shoulders (and don’t wrinkle your work clothes).

SHOULDER SOFT AIR PERMEABILITY PADDING FOR COMFORT

A superior feature to this backpack is the soft air permeability padded back cushion shoulder straps that make the bag light and comfortable. This fabric and cushioning see similar to me, to spring air cushioning in a quality pair of shoes, as it has bounce but durability. Too much weight on the shoulders adds strain to the neck and back. The wide strap and padding on the backpack itself help distribute this weight more evenly. The design of the strap also does not leave wrinkles or demarcations on clothes, which is a perk when worn to work or meetings.

BACK PADDING:  You know that feeling of when a heavy backpack pressed into you when you walk quickly, sort of bouncing and pounding on your back? That is not an issue with this ibagbar bag, because the padded straps and backpack bare the brunt of the weight of the bag.

Fully padded back support

Fully padded back support for shoulders, upper and lower back areas.

All ibagbar bags have a 1-YEAR WARRANTY

CONCLUSION

High on style and durability, the ibagbar Water Resistant Laptop Backpack with USB Charging Port is professional yet functional and relaxed, making it ideal for professors, teachers, programmers, artists and web designers who carry equipment and supplies back and forth from work and home including drawing tablets, iPads, Kindles and presentation materials. Highly versatile as a carry-on bag for travelers with a hidden pocket for valuables, the bag does double-duty for weekend activities.
