So far this month I’ve been feeling like I don’t have a second to breathe, but it’s not a bad thing as my schedule is full of holiday parties and I’m sure yours is too. With that being said, I’ve been changing up my look for each one depending on the scene, but some of my prep has stayed consistent and because of my personality and lack of time, it all revolves around instant gratification. I want results and I want them now! Check out my favorite quick fixes.

A few weeks ago I participated in a project with Crest focusing on how a great smile can kick up anyone’s confidence. Wouldn’t you agree? One of the first things I notice about someone is their smile. Are their teeth white? Straight-ish? Horse teeth perhaps?
When I first heard about the Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips I was thrilled and couldn’t wait to try them to begin my Spring renewal. They claim to give you whiter teeth in just one, two hour treatment. Normally, I use Crest 3D White Strips nightly to whiten my teeth and keep them white.
I finally found a day where I sat in and blogged and was able to use the strips for two hours. Like the other white strips I use regularly, they stayed put on my teeth and I was able to drink water while wearing them. Once the two hours was up, I was very pleased with the results. Two hours may seem like a long time, but for noticeably whiter teeth, it’s beyond worth it.
The pack contained four, two hour whitening strips that are meant to be used once every three months. I hope my teeth stay this white for three months, but due to the excessive amounts of coffee I drink and occasional glass of red wine, I may have to touch them up in between. I’ll let you know.

This week I attended an intimate holiday dinner with Crest at the Cooper Square Hotel penthouse. Surrounded by views of NYC we all sat and ate a fab meal and got the chance to chat with Gossip Girl star, Katie Cassidy.
When she sat next to me at the table I had to take advantage of the opportunity and shoot away. First of all, I knew who she was from her role in A Nightmare on Elm Street and then Melrose Place. But even more than that, because my mom used to be obsessed with her father, old-school heart throb, David Cassidy.
“I grew up in The Hills living a very normal life because my parents weren’t together and I lived with my mom,” Katie said. ”But when people told me how hot my dad was it was really weird.”
As she’s telling me this my mother is texting me while I’m at the table telling me how in love she was with David and that she used to see him perform several times a year and write him love letters. I wasn’t about to tell Katie.
Katie was a very sweet, down-to-earth girl who seemed to really enjoy herself at the event. I was dying over her lashes and even though she claimed they were real and credited YSL mascara, I knew she wasn’t telling the whole truth! I’m sure YSL mascara had something to do with them, but I’m sure lash extensions should have deserved 90% of the credit.
When I asked what her guiltiest pleasure was she laughed and said listening to Fergie’s “Working On My Fitness” while working out. I can’t argue with her there!
As fall takes over my wardrobe, paleness has clearly set into my complexion. Besides the obvious of using self tanner and bronzer to keep a bit of a glow, I discovered through experimentation another trick to keeping myself from looking as dull as the sky – keeping my pearly whites as bright as can be.
My secret – Crest 3D White Pro Effects White Strips, $50. They come 20 in a pack and I use them once a day for 20 minutes (normally in the morning as I’m getting ready to go to the gym). After three days I noticed my teeth were definitely brighter and I’m hooked. I think it’s almost like an addiction. I will say though that the whiter my teeth are, they nicely compliment the naturalness of my self tan, and I feel I beat the blahness of fall.
The white strips work for me in my daily routine, but the Crest 3D collection includes Crest 3D White Vivid Toothpaste, Crest 3D White Vivid Toothpaste, Oral-B Pulsar 3D White Advanced Vivid Toothbrush and Oral-B Advantage 3D White Vivid Toothbrush and Crest 3D White MultiCare Whitening Rinse.
