What I'm Loving

• GAP 100% cotton sweater. From Costco! It's been SO cozy this fall season, especially for all the soccer practices and games. 

• New sneakers. We have a trip coming up and I wanted some nicer cleaner sneakers for walking in more city type situations. I like the low profile, 3-striped Adidas sneakers that are in right now, but didn't want the exact ones everyone else is wearing. So I went looking for similar styles and happily, Naturalizer has cute ones too and they were even more comfortable than the Adidas ones I did try. 

• Whiter teeth, thanks to SmileActives. Ever since getting Invisalign and wearing aligners every day, the stains from daily coffee and tea drinking have been sticking around longer than before. I’m not wearing the aligners while eating or drinking, but the stains remained persistent. I didn't want dirty looking teeth, so after finding this gel that you add alongside your normal toothpaste, I thought I'd give it a go. No strips, no trays, just a simple gel. It only took about 2 days of brushing and the stains are gone! I was shocked, but it definitely works! I know a lot of people experience teeth sensitivity when whitening, but I didn't. Only a small amount near my gums, but I think I wouldn't have had that if I would have started out slower. I was impatient and used it 3x a day to begin with. I've quickly backed down to 2x and it's been fine. No more gum issues at all.

• Lastly, blogging from my phone. Yep, I paid for blogger premium and now can upload pictures from my phone to the app, to share here. It's kinda the only way you're getting this many posts recently. It's been fun.
