Smile Brilliant LED #teeth whitening system #review and #giveaway ends 1-10

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

The New Year is almost here and so many people set new resolutions. I know I do. This year I want to eat healthier and become healthier with exercise. I also want whiter teeth so I am more confident to smile more. So when I got the chance to try out Smile Brilliant's LED teeth whitening system I was intrigued to try it and see if it really worked.

Info from the site:
The LED teeth whitening system by Smile Brilliant is perfect for those who want great tooth whitening results but are on a budget. Our LED system is competitively priced when compared to popular whitening strips sold at your local grocer. However, it is far more effective due to its 22% carbamide peroxide tooth whitening gel and high strength LED light which accelerate the whitening process.

So how did it work? Well first off I must say it is really easy to use. You just paint the whitening gel on your teeth then put on mouth guard and bite down on light and keep in mouth for the entire 20 minutes or up to 3 hours. Then your done! So it is very easy! I tried the 20 minutes session but didnt see much of a difference yet. So everyday for about a week I used the system for 30-40 minutes. I finally started to see a difference. So I did learn this isnt a one time use and your teeth are white, your definitely have to use it alot before you will see those pearly whites coming through. I actually think since it is so easy this system is actually a pretty good system even with having to use it for a while. I definitely will keep using it and recommend it to everyone that wants whiter teeth. It is also very affordable at under $40. Compared to other whitening systems you could pay houndreds for this works pretty good for the price. So if you want whiter teeth check out Smile Brilliant's LED teeth whitening system. You will be glad you did!

Ingrediants:
1 1/2 lbs Chicken breasts or tenders
1 can cranberry sauce with whole Cranberries
1/2 cup Catalina salad dressing
1 package liption onion soup mix


Directions:

1. Spray a 8x11 cake pan, then arrange chicken pan, season with whatever you like or leave plain. I sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder on the chicken.

2. in a bowl mix together cranberry sauce , onion soup mix, and catalina dressing til all blended.

Swerve sweetner a great alternative to sugar

With watching my weight especially this time of year I try to cut as much sugar as I can. I use mostly Splanda or Agave but I was given a chance to try Swerve sweetner and I wanted to try it. Alot of sweetners have a after taste or taste off to me so its hard for me to drink sweetners other than the two I listed above. So that was the first thing I wanted to find out is if Swerve had that after taste.

When I recieved it I decided to try some in my coffee I am pleased to say there is no nasty after taste. I also love that it measures about the same as sugar. I decided to make cookies and other baked treat using Swerve instead of sugar and to my surprise no one that ate it realized a difference. So that is wonderful! I love that it isn't sugar and doesnt have the calories like sugar. I could actually use this especially if my others were more expensive or out of stock. This is a little more pricey than my normals so its something I wont buy often because of that but I actually enjoy it and if I find it cheaper I will definitely buy it!

Swerve is a great tasting, natural sweetener that measures cup-for-cup just like sugar! Made from a unique combination of ingredients derived from fruits and vegetables, Swerve contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives or flavors. It has ZERO CALORIES, NON-GLYCEMIC, NATURAL, and NO GMOs. As a replacement for sugar, Swerve is zero-calorie, non-glycemic and safe for those living with diabetes. Human tests have shown Swerve does not affect blood glucose or insulin levels. Get yours today!
