Big Bow Headband + Four-eyed Kitty Tee

My latest cute finds. I haven't worn such thick headbands since the 2nd grade! But the huge bow is just perfect for a hime gyaru look. I was debating whether to get the black or the cream colored one because I tend to dye my hair SUPER jet black even though my hair is already dark so the bow won't be as noticeable. The floral charm from the cream colored headband had gold trimmings and I'm not a huge fan of gold accessories. So I ended up w/ black. I know my boyfriend will think it's silly to wear big bows on the head but you can never please everyone, anyway! Forever21, $8.80.

Finally received this tee! Got this kitty tee from Delia's for $24.50. Saw this a few weeks ago but was backordered. I just love how the red glasses and bow contrast with the black/white image of the kitty. Planning to wear this tee w/ my hair fix into a huge high bun + a small red stain bow in front of the bun.

My Teeth Whitening Update + Friend's Brite Smile Results

Okay, here are my friend's Brite Smile result pics from yesterday. The 2 images w/ the blue frames were taken at the dentist's office while the other 2 pics were taken w/ his digital camera (taken under natural lighting). The cost was $299. What do you think? After the process, my friend was given the 2 pics w/ the blue frame but did not have the chance to look in the mirror yet. He was initially very disapointed and the dentist heard him in the other room and came over to see what's wrong. My friend was expecting bright white teeth you see on celebrities. The dentist said natural teeth will always have a yellowish tone. Whenever you see super white teeth on a person, those must be veneers. The dentist further explained that the slight yellowish stuff near his bottom gumline can be removed through deep cleaning. The greyish spot right next to the front tooth is actually a tiny cavity and will be invisible once it gets filled. When I saw him I did notice that his teeth were whiter than before and his teeth now looks "cleaner." After looking at the mirror, he does agree that his teeth, although not hollywood white, is definitely noticeably whiter. Once he gets his cavity filled, I'll do another update!

As for my Plus White home whitening kit, I've abandoned the mouth tray since my very first use. The tray does not conform to my shape and doesn't enable the gel to reach near my gumline. I just use my finger and pack the gel onto the front of my teeth. Instead of doing it for 5 minutes, I leave the gel on for 10 minutes. Also, I've been doing it only once a day since I'm always in a rush during the mornings. I'll see what the outcome will be!

Tomorrow will be my first day

This kit was purchased from Walgreens for about $11.99 + tax. My teeth are looking a little yellow again so it's time to whiten them. I usually use Crest white strips but I saw this set and decided to test it out. I know it will be messier than the strips but I wanted to see if the gel can get between the teeth better. Also, it whitens the whole set of teeth instead of just the front and takes only 5 minutes per application. The whole process takes 2 weeks and I have to use it twice daily. Here's a pic of my teeth right now (this was taken under natural light) and will take another pic after I'm finished. Also, a friend will be making an appointment for teeth whitening at his dentist's office. So I will try to get the before and after pic! If you ever see those teeth whitening kiosks at the mall, DO NOT TRY

IT! I was there when a friend tried it out. They were doing a special for the holidays so instead of $99 it was $69 so my friend thought it was cheap. When he was done, I did not see any difference at all while he said it looks 1 shade whiter. For just one shade whiter, just use the Crest white strips or maybe this 5 minute whitening set! It will save you some money.
