A Birthday Smile

Today is Chinas 21st birthday, a very special age in any young persons life. She is quite the beauty isn't she? She is also such a drama queen and a bit if a narcissist, but she's my sister. To celebrate her birthday we decided to grab the family and have an impromptu vacation in San Diego county. We've had an amazing week hitting the beach every day and getting to spend time in all the places we used to go to when we were little. We are from Oceanside and since moving to the Inland Empire don't get to go back home that often even though it's so close. Having a week to spend with all of the kids, including China's little boy Jeremiah has been more fun than we had imagined. 

Before heading on vacation we prepared by getting our brows threaded and we each got a mani and pedi. O'side is all about the flip flops so our feet had to be ready to be seen. Another important step in preparing for our vacay was our smile, because there would be many selfies to take. China is a smoker and coffee lover ( I don't know why my sister smokes and why she refuses to stop ), and let me tell you how unkind that is to her smile. Out of all of us, she is the one with the best teeth and she has a gorgeous smile, but smoking really makes her teeth yellow. 

With no extra time to spare we ran to Walmart and found the endcap featuring Colgate® Optic White® Express White Toothpaste. Whiter teeth in just three days? Exactly what we needed! Unlike most whitening toothpastes, Colgate® Optic White® Express White Toothpaste contains the professionally recommended ingredient hydrogen peroxide to whiten faster with brushing alone. Colgate Express White Toothpaste has 2 times more of the professionally recommended whitening ingredient (vs. Optic White Sparkling Mint TP). 

Want to try it and save some cash? There will be a roaming demo in 550 stores on 2/28/15 to promote the new product. Ambassadors will be roaming aisle giving out $1 off coupons good on Express White Toothpaste. Check this store list to find a demo in your area. 

With just a day and a half of planning we were able to head out on our vacation all ready to look our best and just enjoy the time off. It's not everyday that you turn 21 and it's not every day that you get to spend a week on the beach, it's been very special. 

When you're on vacation the last thing you want to worry about is your smile. Colgate® Optic White® Express White Toothpaste is a quick, affordable and easy way to get that whiter smile in just three days. That way you can enjoy the moment and have that perfect Birthday Smile. Happy birthday Chinese.
