Affordable At Home Teeth Whitening for Coffee Lovers

Life Begins After Coffee.

Aside from words of affirmation, my love language is coffee. As a 25 year old, I have been drinking coffee for as long as I can remember. For someone who hated going to school, it was how my mom would bribe me to get out of bed every morning. I can still picture it – it was the same routine every day…

She’d pour a hot cup of coffee, add just the right amount of chocolate Coffee-Mate creamer, and sneak into my room each morning at the same time in her robe and slippers. She’d then turn on the bathroom light and leave my cup of coffee on the counter, refusing to bring it to me in bed no matter how much I begged. I’d get up, she’d sit on my bed, and we’d have coffee together while I got ready for school. The smell of coffee still brings me back to those mornings with my mom. To this day, there’s not a morning that doesn’t start with a warm cup of coffee.

Getting Rid of Coffee Stains

As a person who enjoys her coffee a little bit more than the average girl, coffee stains have always been the bain of my existence. From whitening toothpastes to drug store whitening kits, I’ve tried it all. While whitening toothpastes and drug store whitening strips helped keep the stains from getting too bad on the front of my teeth, nothing quite did the trick of getting rid of them – especially on each side of my smile. Whitening strips from the drug store kits could never stay put, causing a frustrating hour of trying not to breathe to keep them in place. Not to mention, they never seemed to make a difference on my real trouble spots (the sides of my smile) due to their poor fit. I gave up halfway through the box, and my wallet started to cringe thinking a dentist was my only saving grace.

At Home Teeth Whitening with Smile Brilliant

When Smile Brilliant reached out to me this summer about trying out their whitening kit, I had heard so many things about it from other bloggers. However, I was a tad skeptical. I mean, how great could it really be? I couldn’t help but think that it was probably just like all the others. Little did I know that a couple weeks later I’d be eating my words.

The process was faster and easier than I could have ever imagined. I simply answered a few questions about my dental history before receiving my whitening kit in the mail. After receiving my kit, I made my teeth molds and sent them back to the Smile Brilliant lab with their provided envelope. I then got my custom fitted whitening trays back about a week or so later to begin whitening. It was so easy! I think I would have spent longer standing in the drug store aisle debating between those awful whitening strips!

The Whitening Process

I whitened my teeth about every other night for about an hour before bed for a few weeks. Not only did I notice a visual change in my smile each and every day, but I also noticed a change in the way my teeth felt. They had that fresh-after-the-dentist clean feeling every day that made me feel so much better.

While I experienced some sensitivity in my gums the first few sessions (like I sometimes do with other whitening products), the Smile Brilliant support staff was amazing in sharing their tips and tricks. My gum sensitivity improved with each use after using the desensitizing gel as I got the hang of applying the whitening gel. I was able to get 4 uses out of each syringe – leaving me with plenty of sessions to get the results I was looking for!

Confidence with Coffee and Smile Brilliant

Ever since completing my first whitening session with Smile Brilliant’s custom fitted whitening trays, I have gotten so many wonderful compliments on how white my white looks. The custom fitted trays allowed for the whitening gel to get right into my trouble spots and allow for a more consistent and even whitening experience that couldn’t possibly compare to other whitening products on the market today. Not only do I feel confident in all sides of my smile, but I also feel like I’ve finally said sayonara to those pesky coffee stains! I couldn’t recommend Smile Brilliant enough to my friends, family, and #CathyNugentBrides.

    Love the whitening kit, and the idea of not having to see a dentist for teeth whitening makes me very happy!

The furniture for the study finally came in, and I was SO excited to see how perfect everything looks in here. Hands down my favorite room in the house. 😍👏🏼 Real talk: I can’t wait to curl up in here with a cup of coffee and a book while my kids destroy the house around me. 🫠🤷🏼‍♀️😂 #ahostinghome

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

The best part? Can rotate and charge with all our other Dewalt tool batteries.

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
