Fanatical Beauty Routines

May 13, 2009

So, I woke up super-duper early this morning to give myself a much-needed manicure and pedicure. I am attending a fancy-schmancy luncheon with my sister this afternoon, and my nails needed some serious TLC! I have a weird “thing” with my nails– they don’t necessarily need to be perfectly manicured with nail polish and all; they just need to look nice, neat, and clean. 

My real obsession is taking care of my teeth! I paid for my braces (with a little help from my mom) when I was in high school, and ever since they came off, I’ve been fanatical about keeping my smile healthy. I brush 3 times a day, floss (every day), and use a fluoride paste (twice a day). You’d think I’d be cavity-free with this regimen, but genetics are not on my side! I still get cavities. :-|

Breakfast was a BIG bowl of oats. I’ve been starving the last few mornings, so I went heavy on the measurements today. In the mix: oats, banana vanilla hemp milk, and hemp protein. Surprisingly, the combo of ingredients gave my oats a sort of coconut-y flavor? 

With early morning reading material (yay, organization issue! :-D ) and iced coffee with milk and agave nectar…

I am prone to caivties too, despite great oral hygine like you! My dentist recommended the mouth wash ACT, which is a flouride rinse as opposed to something like Listerine, which is more for the gums. The mouth wash gets into the deep crevices of the tooth and I haven’t had a cavity in long time now!
