Pearly whites : )

With Christmas behind us and New Years approaching, you probably had one too many glasses of red wine.  If you're anything like me, you're probably thinking of new years resolutions (to break) to make you look your best.  One way to look great is to have a clean, white smile.  Here's a very well known tip that really works!   
Take 1 teaspoon of baking soda and put it in a small glass.  Wet your toothbrush and dip it into the baking soda.  Gently brush your teeth.  I wouldn't use an electric toothbrush to do this...because the baking soda is a bit coarser, it's very rough on your gums.  Try this twice a week and see your pearly whites sparkle!

If you can't stand the taste of baking soda, try rubbing a strawberry dipped in baking soda all over your teeth.  The malic acid from the mixture is a natural bleaching agent.
