Happy Friday, friends! I’m wrapping up a nice vacation on Captiva Island, and not ready to get back to reality. Luckily I’ll have a nice little tan as a souvenir when I get back home. As much as I don’t want my vacation to end, I have a ton of fun events to look forward to the rest of the summer that are keeping me motivated.

From weddings to bachelorette parties and every event in between, I have a lot of exciting things coming up quickly. Of course, I want to look my best, from my outfit, makeup and most importantly, my smile! While it’s nice to have that summer glow, it’s even more important that you have a smile that pops this time of year. That’s why I’ve been giving extra attention to my dental hygiene routine.

When Colgate and Meijer reached out to me to try a Colgate Optic White kit, I was thrilled because I already use (and love) Colgate products. I’ve been using Colgate Optic White toothpaste for years with amazing results, and I love that it takes my teeth from dull to bright. Plus, it has a nice minty taste that actually makes brushing your teeth enjoyable.

Having a bright smile in the summer is a must, but I also stick to another tried and true method to make my look really stand out: lipstick. I’m all about vivid lip colors this time of year to create a bold, fun beauty look. I like to stick to reds and pinks to make my teeth look extra white. I’ve never met a pink or red shade I didn’t love.

Now for the fun part: a giveaway!

I’m giving one lucky reader their own Colgate Optic White kit, which includes a whitening toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash and whitening pen with tootbrush all from the Optic White range! If you’ve never used these products before, I think you’ll be extremely impressed with the results.
