Wash-Day Wednesday: JVNHair Review
I think, at this point, you know how I’m going to start this post. I have been working on transitioning all of my personal care products to low- and zero-waste versions for a couple of years now. I’m pretty much committed to bar soaps now and they come in so many different scents that I…

Sustainable Smiles: Bite Tooth Bits 30-Day Review
I’ve been on the hunt for the best low-waste/no-waste oral hygiene routine for my lifestyle pretty much throughout my entire Invisalign journey. (I do owe you a full review post of my experiences with Invisalign, I promise that one will be coming.) It’s just easier, especially when I was brushing and flossing several times a…

Skincare Saturday: Osmia Organics (part 1)
Welcome to the inaugural post for the Skincare Saturday series! The idea for this series came from the fact that I am more than a little obsessed with skincare.

or “the slacker returns”… When I began this blog, I had the intention of chronicling my Invisalign treatment here – sharing with people what it’s like to have Invisalign as an adult, recording the changes in my smile and my confidence, and sharing other changes that may happen due, in part, to my treatment. And…

Starting Invisalign…
So about a month ago, on April 8th, I had my orthodontic consultation to begin treatment with Invisalign… Now I have always been embarrassed by my smile – my teeth are just too big and all over the place and I’ve never mastered the confident smile. Obviously orthodontic work has been something I’ve wanted for…

Blogs are so exciting but the first post can be daunting. I’ve decided to start off by sharing why I started this blog and what it means to me.
