Julie's Journal

Cancer has affected 4 close family members in my life. Some are fine and healthy today, and some have fallen victim to the horrible C-word.

Two words – cancer sucks!

Here’s to less cancer in the upcoming new year and more birthdays!!!

Hey guys! The end is here for the Crest Pro-Health Complete Rinse Test Drive Program. I’ve been using it for a month now, and I still really like it! I have to say that I am really happy with this product, and I will continue to buy it and use it. My teenage sons have been using it as well.

I haven’t been to the dentist yet to confirm that it will indeed make a difference in my dental checkups, but I can confirm that my mouth and teeth just feel healthier. Like I said in my original post, there is absolutely no alcohol burn and that was a very important issue with me (the kids too). Also, there has been a noticeable difference in my breath. I drink a lot of coffee, so yeah…if you’re a coffee drinker you know how nasty that can be. I use it twice a day, after I brush, and then I’ll use it after my coffee is finished in the morning, and sometimes after I have a snack.

I’m pretty impressed with it, and I’ll let you know what my dentist says at my next checkup.

Crest Pro-Health Complete Rinse gives you six benefits in one rinse, for a more complete way to get better dental checkups.

• Rebuilds Teeth Enamel
• Helps Prevent Cavities
• Cleans Teeth & Gums
• Kills Bad Breath Germs
• Freshens Breath
• No Burn of Alcohol

Hey guys! I’ve been participating in the Crest Pro-Health Complete Rinse Test Drive Program for two weeks now, and I am really loving it!

In the past I have shied away from mouth washes because of the awful taste. The alcohol just burns my mouth and I could never get past that feeling, so I stopped using them completely. I know how important it is to use them, so I was excited to give the Crest Pro-Health Complete Rinse a try.

I know for sure now that it really does freshen my breath (I like to use it after I eat), and there is absolutely no alcohol burn, which I am loving! I’ll be curious to see how my next dental check-up goes and if he notices a difference.

I recently got a chance to review a new personal lubricant and I was really skeptical. We have used every single one on the mainstream market, and they have been continuously disappointing us time and time again. They all seem wonderful in the beginning. They have a nice scent, and the consistency feels smooth. But they always end up becoming sticky and just gross.

Quite honestly, when I received the Aloe Cadabra samples I didn’t have much faith in them. They had the same nice scent, and the smooth feeling we were use to, but I just knew in the back of my mind, they would break down and become sticky. WOW! Were we ever proven wrong! Not only did it last, but it never, ever became sticky and gross. We’re sold!

I got three different scents to try, French Lavender, Tahitian Vanilla, and Natural Aloe. We both agreed that the French Lavender was our favorite. I know just the name of that sounds likes it’s going to be an over-powering feminine flowery smell that your man won’t like, but it’s really not. It’s a very light pleasurable scent.

Aloe Cadabra 2.5oz – $7.95

• Certified organic Aloe Vera
• All natural food grade gel
• Won’t harm condoms or other synthetic toys
• Not a spermicide
• Will not prevent STDs
• Safe if ingested

We also like the fact that the ingredients in Aloe Cadabra are all natural. Have you read the ingredients labels of some personal lubricants on the market? Chlorhexidine? Methylparaben? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not put that stuff on my body, thankyouverymuch. So make sure to try out the all natural Aloe Cadabra lubricant. I highly recommend it!

If you’re anything like me you hate flossing. It takes too much time, it’s messy, and ugh…I just hate it! So when Waterpik contacted me and asked if I’d like to review their Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet I jumped at the chance.

What surprised me the most about the WP-100 is that after using it I felt like I had my teeth cleaned at the dentist! You know that feeling right? It really felt like that! I’m not saying that the Waterpik replaces those cleaning visits to your dentist, but it sure feels nice to have that feeling at home everyday! I’ve been using it every night before bed, and my mouth feels sooooo good the next morning when I wake up.
