Do you have fresh breath?

I have a few phobias.
Tall buildings, scorpions and bad breath.
I think it was my 3rd grade math teacher who introduced me to my 3rd phobia.
I was standing at his desk asking for help with a problem and the odor of coffee + nicotine was enough to never ask for help again.
I’m certain that’s why I hate multiplication to this day.
Seriously peeps, fresh breath is a courtesy we owe to not only ourselves, but others as well.

So what’s your breath freshener of choice?
Brush, floss, mouth wash, gum, mints…there’s lots to choose from.
I love me some spearmint gum but let’s be honest, not all breath fresheners are made equal.
Have you ever had a breath mint that actually makes your breath worse than before you popped it?
I’ve decided that breath fresheners are kind of like perfumes. Some scents work well with some people and some just don’t.

Breath sprays are making a big comeback.

Bad breath is situation that everyone has but no one wants to admit.
Mints and gum are the discreet way to combat the situation but a spray is like full on admitting it and owning it.
Thank you Jeff Lewis!
He’s made breath sprays vogue with his constant spray fixes on his show.
I’m convinced his spraying has gone beyond a quick fresh fix but rather putting punctuation on a statement.
“That house was a disaster.” (SPRAY).
“You got my Poco Loco order wrong AGAIN!” (SPRAY).
“Jenni you’re hair is a mess.” (SPRAY).
Taking a spray hit after a statement is the equivalent of doing an air snap.
You’ve got to have a small attitude to pull it off.

I was recently contacted by Hello Products (Seriously Fresh Oral Care) to review their new breath spray.

For sure one of the most unique things I’ve tried out. But I’ll try anything to resolve my third phobia.
I squished up my face preparing for something I thought would taste like a blast of minty overkill but to my surprise it was actually good.

I know this isn’t some four course meal but the flavor has layers that actually lasts.
I highly recommend the blue Supermint. It’s become one of my favorite things this year.
My boys have become obsessed with it.
They also have a line of toothbrushes, toothpastes and mouthwashes.
Great stocking stuffers, hint, hint!

DIY Phone Book Decoupaged Ornaments.

4 Dec 6 Comments

Our Christmas tree is almost complete and I can’t wait to share it with you.
But before I do…a little diy, ornament action first.

Aside from the tried and true glass ornament balls I have NEVER purchased or even been inspired by any Christmas ornaments, EVER.
Then I happened to be at Home Goods the other week looking for new sheets and this little bird tweeted at me.
I thought he was sporting the Sunday newspaper but upon closer inspection he was actually wearing the “C”, “R”, and “M” sections of the phone book.
I immediately purchased three at $3.00 each.
When I got home I had a pang of buyers remorse. Seriously, did I just spend $10.00 on three Christmas ornaments?
Cheepskate that I am, I decided to use them as inspiration to diy some Phone Book ornaments of my own.
Easy-peasy right?
Wrong.
Apparently phone books have gone extinct. Not one of 20 people I texted had one.

Two weeks later, I finally found a phone book (thank you again Linda)!
Why didn’t I just go pick up a free phone book at the phone book place, you ask?
“Cheepskate”, remember?

I’ve never decoupaged before but I remembered Rosie O’Donnell (queen of funny AND decoupaging) did a how-to on Martha Stewart a while back and it looked totally easy.
(It was a “Trust me, I know what I’m doing. I’ve seen it on Pinterest.” moment).
Here’s how I did it…
1. Cut several strips (any length) out of the phone book.
2. Get a jar of Mod Podge and gloves.
3. Dip your gloved fingers in the jar of Mod Podge and slather it all over your ornament.
(I found these paper mache ornaments at Hobby Lobby for around $.30-$1.00 each).
Some people are more neat and nifty and use a brush but I’ve got three kids and dinner on the stove…ain’t got time for that.
4-5. Apply your strips directly to the ornament. Smooth as many creases or air bubbles as you can.
6. Once the ornament is covered with the paper apply another coat of Mod Podge with your fingers. The ornament will look white but don’t worry, it will dry clear.

The pictures don’t really do them justice but they really are cute. It gives the tree some personality and diy love.

Stay tuned to see our lovely tree!

Rustic Holiday Decor.

2 Dec 2 Comments

When it comes to holiday decor I love scenes that stick with a theme.
Red and white, gold and silver, all blue, rustic…
It just makes for such a dramatic impact.

Our holiday decor looks like a serious identity crisis. We’ve got a bit of everything and A LOT of macaroni-school-handmade-ornaments.
Today we’re trimming the tree and it’s anyone’s guess how it will all shape up.
In the meantime, enjoy a few of my picks for a rustic themed Christmas.
Check out my Polyvore page for more inspired goodies!
