What is the best way to whiten your teeth?
Are those white strips things any good?

they peel off the enamel of your teeth...so it sets you up for higher sensitivity.

don't drink coffee or tea. and brush (and floss) regularly...

Unfortunalty the no coffie thing won't work. I'm am addicted I drink GALLONS. I knw it's not healthy. I will pass on cigarettes for whiter teeth but I can't pass on caffeine. :(

Crest Whitestrips Premium work for me. I use them only once a year though and my teeth stay white and nice. :)
I don't drink coffee and I hardly ever drink soda.

Yeah, that's what my friend uses too. Not sure if she uses premium or not but yeah, crest white strips. And it sounds so weird to me that it lasts a whole year. o_O Like too good to be true. lol
Do you think that it would still last for me if I'm a major coffie drinker? And also, do they make a major difference? Or where your teeth pretty white to start with?

my teeth were white to begin since i never drank coffee and went easy with the soda but i wanted them whiter. i guess maybe you can search online for other people's reviews on the product and see what they have to say about it cos i'm sure you'll find many people who are heavy coffee drinkers too.

They work pretty well. I did half of the pack (just the regular ones) the way the package recommends, and then I used the other half over a longer period (once a week instead of once a day, I think) and my teeth looked great for a whole year.

When I started drinking three cups of coffee a day, my teeth lost their whiteness a bit, but all it takes is a strip every week or every month to keep them nice.

So use one package in a month, and then keep another one on hand for 'touch ups,' to use when you do your weekly facial mask / nails / whatever.

Thank you, your comment is very helpful.
But isn't using a package every month bad for your teeth? I remember someone told me it is.

Oh, I re-read your comment. I misunderstood before.
Yeah, I get what you mean, I will definatly need one for touch-ups with my coffie drinking habits. :/ Thanks honey.

Lol, hey gorgeous. :)
It's funny you should write me because I've been re-reading Memoirs of a Geisha this week so naturally, I've been thinking of you. ;) God, I love that book. My boyfriend also ordered "Geisha, a Life" for me on ebay because I'm so into it.
How are you darling? I never got around to sending you a package back! I feel awful, you must tell me what you would like to receive from israel because I am sending you something by the end of this month no matter what.

No need to feel anything but "TINA-esque" my love, but thank you for the sentiment:) Ironically, I've been eye-balling that (Geisha, a life) at the used book store in the foreigner district. I owe YOU my Missha make-up faves as promised and darling, can you get MAC there in Israel? If not, we have to fix that shit. I just got a bunch of it that I like but won't use and I adore mAC more than Missha. I thought about it and I honestly have no idea save that anything you'd want to send would be great. I re-located so let me know if you DO need an addy (I hated the last place I lived). Did you see my pics of Japan? I managed to get some shots of real geisha in Gion, they were amazing. I went in May I think. I'm getting damned sick of Korea though and I think I'll move. Never back to Canada but somewhere else. I have a trip planned to the US in the Fall but it's only to meet my bf's family and I'm not all that into the US. xoxox

You were in Japan? I need to start using lj more I can't belive I missed that! Are the geisha pic posted in your journal?

We do have Mac here but barely, which is strange because we have lot's of other random brands.
I'll be shopping for your package next week so I'll be needing your new address soon. I'm not asking now because from what I gather you're in Korea at the moment but not for long? I'm afraid that by the time I'll send it (which shouldn't be longer than two weeks but still) you won't be there anymore. How often DO you move? lol
And who is this bf who's family you're meeting? A new one? (goes off to rad your journal)
