A Brilliant Smile for the Holidays

My good friends know that, depending on the time of day, you will probably find me with either a latte, a fountain coke or a glass of red wine!  And do you want to know what these three beverages have in common?  First of all, they are delicious!  But secondly (and unfortunately), they do not keep my teeth as sparkly white as I would like.

coffee, coke and red wine teeth!

For this reason, I was super excited when Smile Brilliant reached-out and wanted to collaborate!  A professional teeth whitening kit in return for a blog review?!  I'm in!  The whitening process was super easy and thorough with excellent customer service every step of the way.

First, I received the kit I used to make molds of my teeth.  The instructions were clear and the steps were simple.  Even the packaging was cute! #smilefearlessly

Once I sent my molds back to Smile Brilliant (in prepaid USPS packaging), I received my personalized trays within days!  The kit comes with an ample supply of teeth whitening gel as well as gel to help sooth sensitive gums.  As someone who has naturally sensitive teeth and gums, this second gel helped so much!

After just over a week of using Smile Brilliant's home teeth whitening system, I noticed a difference in my smile!  Are you ready for the big before-and-after reveal?

...and after!

Even though I sensed my teeth were whiter, I'm still blown-away by my before-and-after pictures!  But just in case this isn't enough to convince you, check-out all of Smile Brilliant's happy customers or watch this adorable review video.

Good morning, lovelies!  I'm so excited for today's post because I'm collaborating with a talented, wonderful friend of mine from high school!

Technically, Kristine and I went to school together since second grade.  We always had mutual friends but truly became buddies during middle school and high school.  Some of my favorite memories with her involve board games with our friend Justine, seeing some of her clothing designs on the runway in Detroit, and our unique fifth-year French experience (but you'll read more about that later).

Kristine has always been a talented artist (I remember watching her doodle during class) with a passion for the fashion industry.  Recently she's really found her niche in fashion illustration!  Today I get to share with you some of her super cool illustrations (like the ones above) as well as a little interview with Kristine.  We are also hosting a fun giveaway and Kristine is offering a special discount for Whitney à la mode readers.  Keep reading for the details!
