Your wedding day is going to be full of laughter and smiles, and more smiles, and even more smiles (you get the picture). 

In getting the brightest smile ever, your dental maintenance should begin at least 4-weeks prior to your wedding. 

In addition to a general cleaning, there is also the matter of getting those teeth
pearly white.  There are over thirty tooth whitening systems on the market and
sold over the counter. 

With the influx of so many choices, you no longer have to spend from
$300 – $1500 to get your teeth their whitest and brightest – it can cost you
as low as $20! 

Most whitening strips cost between $20 (store brand) to $40 (name brand).
You can also option for whitening gels ($25) or brush-on liquids ($20).

I’ve tried a few of the systems listed and, although they worked to some extent,
I wasn’t completely satisfied.  I realized that to get the whitest teeth possible, I’d
have to pay my dentist several hundred dollars and hope for the best until…

I purchased a system which activated using an “infrared” lighting piece. 

The instructions were so simple:
- Add the enclosed gels to the light piece
- Insert the piece into your mouth (your teeth will hold it in place)
- Activate the light for 2-miutes (the light is auto set for 2-minutes)
- Remove light piece, swish remaining gel swish for 5 minutes and rinse
  (you must do this process 3x as a first time user)

21-minutes later the coffee/tea stains and dullness were 75% gone and my teeth were (honestly, I can’t kid you on this), 3 shades brighter!!!!

The light whitening systems costs between $20 and $40.  I spent $30 and
21-minutes and am absolutely sold on this method!

Maintain the look by using the gels/light once a month and a whitening spray once a week.

Oh, what a beautiful smile! 

Dear Brides:

We’ve discussed the importance of reassigning various elements of the plans to your wedding coordinator as a major approach to alleviate stress.  At The “O”, we strive to provide a stress-free event from beginning to end.

Taking time out for yourself is imperative to allow full enjoyment as you continue planning your wedding day. You are in high demand by many people – caterers, cake designers, bridal shops, florists and most importantly, family and friends. 

With only 24-hours in a day, it is vital that you devote at least one of those hours to yourself (and your fiancée). 

Today, we’ll give you tips on how to lessen your stress levels and elevate the enjoyment every day with quick and easy relaxation techniques.  

In 60-minutes you can:

• Watch a movie
• Take a brisk walk
• Sip a soothing cup of tea
• Read a magazine/book which is non-wedding related
• Schedule a manicure/pedicure (yes, couples do this!)
• Watch (and use) the Pilates/Yoga cd you bought months ago
• Ride your bike
• Sitting on the floor with your feet touching your fiancee’s, hold hands and gently pull each other into a full body relaxing stretch
• Take a couple’s walk through a favorite part of the city
• Go dancing!
  or (this is my favorite)…
  
• Sit and do absolutely nothing! 

Thanks for joining us and if you have tips to share, please do! :)
