How I Use Baking Soda To Cure Bad Breath

My Trinidadian mother always boast that she used baking soda on my gums and teeth as a toddler which contributed to me having healthy teeth.  

Recently my husband has been telling that my breath was not smelling to pleasant so I decided to use baking soda on my teeth and gums.  

I simply apply the baking soda to my teeth and gums while I am in the shower or by the faucet after brushing my teeth. I then put a but of water in my mouth and gargle a bit and then spit out the liquid.  Next I wash out my mouth.  That's it!  So basically I use the baking soda like a mouth wash.

How I Use Baking To Get Rid Of My Facial Acne

I recently resumed using baking soda on my face as a treatment for my acne.  I use to do a similar treatment many years ago and it was quite effective.  I had forgotten about it.  I use to mix some baking soda with olive oil together and apply the mixture to my face.

Now instead of using the olive oil, I just mix a small bit of water with the baking soda and apply the mixture to my face and massage my face.  I do this procedure while I am in the shower which means I always have a bottle of baking soda in my bathroom.  My face is so smooth these days and I am super happy.

Pandora Jewelry 2019 Club Charm

Pandora makes a club charm each year.  In 2019 I purchased my first club charm.  The charm is made of an almost exact replica of a treasure chest in rose gold.  It even has a lock in the shape of a heart.  In the center of the lock is a CC.  This is really a treasured piece.  The charm even has two hooks on the side of the treasure chest which allows it to be used as a pendant.  

Using Pandora Cleaning Kit To Clean Pandora Jewelry

I purchased the Pandora jewelry cleaning kit which contains a soft tooth brush with the word PANDORA printed on the back of the brush, two Pandora cleaning cloths (one black and one white) and a Pandora Key chain.

What's On My Daughter's Pandora Jewelry Bracelet

My daughter expressed interest in getting her own Pandora jewelry bracelet so in one of Pandora annual sales I took the opportunity to get one as a free gift with a purchase of over one  hundred and twenty five dollars.  So I was eventually able to give her bracelet when I traveled to Trinidad and Tobago (my home country) around September 2017.  

It was my intention to purchase a few charms to go with her new bracelet but I ended up giving her some of my charms.  The mother and son dangle is a heart charm in two pieces.  The inside of each piece is blue with the words printed MOTHER on one half and SON on the other half.

I gave my daughter the half labeled MOTHER and I kept the other side. I also gave her my booty dangle charm, which I purchased to commemorate my first grandson.  

I Am Super Pleased With My Manicure At Studio One, Road Town, Tortola

At the beginning of this year I created a vision board with the things I want to manifest and having a monthly  pedicure and manicure is on my list.

So yesterday I went to have my nails done at a salon located on Main Street, Tortola, British Virgin Islands and I am super pleased with the results.  

The name of the salon is Studio One.  I had a manicure done and gel polished applied.  The manicure was well done. Special attention was applied to my cuticles, my nails cleaned and buffed.  

The reason I am so impressed is that while I was in Trinidad and Tobago, my home country, early on this year I went to have a manicure done and gel polished applied.  First of all the manicure was not done to my liking - no attention as applied to my cuticles weren't buffed properly   I was not pleased.  

Then as the gel polished was being applied it was not going on smoothly and another attempt was made.  We eventually ended up just applying regular polish.

When I returned to Tortola BVI, my place of residence, the first thing I did was make a trip to the salon, for a manicure and pedicure, that is operated by some Asians.  This used to be the only place I would go because they open for operations about 7:30am and there is always someone there to attend to me - no lengthy waiting time. 

But I notice lately that when I go in to do both a manicure and pedicure they would do my manicure while doing the pedicure.  I feel that my manicure should be done at a manicure table for best results.  In addition to that, on a few occasions the gel polished was not applied properly and I had to return to have it re-applied.

I eventually decided to have my nails done at a different salon and I am very happy with my decision.😊😊
