You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile!
Any true Southern Girl knows that her look isn't complete without a pearly white smile. I've always been a fan of Crest White Strips myself, but hated paying $30 + for the kit. During my last outing to the grocery, I was pleasantly surprised to see Crest's new Vivid White toothpaste. At only $3.69 a tube I couldn't resist. The box claims to remove 80% of surface stains in 14 days. Because I have always been a yearly teeth whitener, I didn't think I had much "stain," to be removed but let me tell you that I have certainly noticed a difference in the brightness of my smile.
If you're looking for an alternative to at home teeth whitening kits, I recommend you give Crest's new product a whirl. I think you will be pleased. And if anything, you will definitely have fresh, clean breath for a fraction of the price (and goo) of the White Strips.
Until next time, may your life be full of magnolias, bourbon, and a PEARLY WHITE SMILE!

Latex, Mercury and Gelatin- OH MY!
Flu season is upon us. We’ve all seen the signs in Wal-Greens, Kroger and every business that employees a nurse. “Get your flu shot today! Only $25.00!” “Flu vaccines FREE for (insert state name here) insurance carriers.”
Vaccines are everywhere: Measels, Polio, Chicken Pox. We have all had at least one vaccine at some point in our life. Sure it seems routine. Yes, we ALL get them, but do we really know what we are injecting into our bodies? Last year, I skipped out on my flu shot after watching the effects of the vaccine on this beautiful young lady:
I made this decision by simply watching the video. Blind and uneducated. This year, I was presented more information on the harmful effects of vaccines and want to pass it along to others so that we can each make an educated decision before being stuck with the needle.
A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease (not prevents). It contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing micro-organism. So what are these “agents” that “resemble” a disease? These, so called “agents,” are actually disease-causing substances. For EVERY vaccine we’ve had, we have injected some of the following substances into our bodies:
**See underlined for quick reference
Ammonium Sulfate (salt) - suspected gastrointestinal, liver, nerve and respiratory system poison.
Beta-Propiolactone- known to cause cancer. Suspected gastrointestinal, liver, respiratory, skin and sense organ poison.
Genetically modified yeast; animal, bacterial & viral DNA- can be incorporated into the recipient’s DNA and cause unknown genetic mutation.
Latex Rubber- can cause life-threatening allergic reactions.
Monosodium Glutamate- being studied for mutagenic, teratogenic and reproductive effects. A neurotoxic. Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe.
Aluminum- implicated as a cause of brain damage; suspected factor in Alzheimer’s Disease, dementia, seizures and comas. Allergic reactions can occur on skin.
Formaldehyde- major constituent of embalming fluid; poisonous if ingested. Probable carcinogen; suspected gastrointestinal, liver, immune system nerve, reproductive system and respiratory poison. Linked to leukemia, brain, colon and lymphatic cancer.
Micro-Organisms- live and killed viri and bacteria or their toxins. The polio vaccine was contaminated with a monkey virus now turning up in human bone, lung-lining, brain tumors and lymphoma.
Polysorbate 80- known to cause cancer in animals.
Tri(n)butylphosphate- suspected kidney and nerve poison.
Glutaraldehyde- poisonous if ingested. Causes birth defects in experimental animals.
Gelatin- produced from selected pieces of calf and cattle skins, de-mineralized cattle bones and pork skin. Allergic reactions have been reported.
Gentamicin sulfate & Polymyxin B- allergic reactions can range from mild to life threatening.
Mercury- one of the most poisonous substances known. Has an affinity for the brain, gut, liver, bone marrow and kidneys. Minute amounts can cause nerve damage. Symptoms of mercury toxicity are similar to those of autism.
Neomycin Sulfate- interferes with vitamin B6 absorption. An error in the uptake of B6 can cause a rare form of epilepsy and mental retardation. Allergic reactions can be mild to life threatening.
Phenol/Phenoxyethanol- used as antifreeze. Toxic to all cells and capable of disabling the immune system’s primary response mechanism.
Human & Animal Cells- human cells from aborted fetal tissue and human albumin. Pig blood, horse blood, rabbit brain, guinea pig, dog kidney, cow heart, monkey kidney, chick embryo, chicken egg, duck egg, calf serum, sheep blood and others.
It seems as though there is always something causing one health problem or another. The least we can do is continually be aware of the risks we face in the decisions we make. You can decide for yourself. Get a vaccination or not, but before you do anything be educated about what you are injecting into your body.
Until next time, may your days be filled with magnolias, bourbon and no signs of the FLU!
XOXO
