FEATURED BLOG: Adventures in Teeth Whitening

Turns out, those strips are harder to use that one might think.

So, I tried those teeth whitening strips this morning. The last time I bought my two gallon bottle of Listerine at Costco, there were free samples attached and I don’t know about you but I’m a sucker for free samples. 

I read the instructions carefully—three times in fact, since these are my only teeth I'm talking about here. There’s also a disclaimer on the package that warns you to ask your dentist before using if you have dental work since apparently the gel will not whiten dental work. Well, my dentist goes to Hawaii every year at this time to surf so that was out and I do have a mouthful of dental work, so I figured I was on my own, and I was feeling brave.

Did the strips work? Read more after the link to find out.
