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.

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.
