My Secret for a Picture-Perfect Holiday Smile


Okay, y'all...random fact time: I am obsessed with having white teeth. Are you the same way? It's the number one compliment I get. And the best smile compliment ever was when a dentist asked what treatment I used because my teeth were so white. What!

He rattled off the names of professional whitening treatments and I shook my head at every one because I had no idea what he was talking about. I don't spend hundreds of dollars to whiten my teeth. There's no need to spend your gift buying budget to whiten your teeth, right?

Speaking of the holidays and gifts, we are riiight in the beginning of the holiday season: I'm talking parties and holiday gatherings with family. And of course, there will be pictures at these events. But I've got a secret weapon to get that picture-perfect holiday smile.

Are you ready for my secret?



It's Crest 3D White Luxe Supreme FlexFit Whitestrips. And I'm wearing them right now as I type this. Here's what they look like so you know what to get at Target (which is my favorite place to grab the essentials for a perfect smile this holiday season...I could live in there...sigh...) :




Let me tell you why you need these:


  • Crest’s best whitening system gives you professional results for a flawless holiday smile--right at home. 
  • These work as well as a $500 professional treatment (*vs. light & laser systems) but they are much more affordable!
  • Y'all, I am a sweet tea (no surprise) and 2 cups of coffee (working on cutting it down!) drinker, and these whitestrips give me the white teeth I want. 









  • They are so easy to incorporate into my routine. I wear them while I'm blogging, like right now!
  • Crest 3D White Luxe Supreme FlexFit Whitestrips have flex fit that I LOVE. You can talk and you can drink while wearing them--no more strips sliding around!
  • Inside are 14 treatments with 2 strips on each (upper and lower).  


    • You want proof right? Do these work? Let's see:





    Ready to get some of your own (or as a stocking stuffer because I think that is an excellent idea *hint, hint*)? Well, you're in luck because you can get $7 off your purchase of Crest 3D White Luxe Supreme FlexFit Whitestrips at Target.com! Also linked here: http://clvr.li/1vwTKSS

      I am definitely going to be trying these out! Just curious, do you experience any sensitivity after using them?

      I've been wanting to try teeth whitening strips but they make me a little nervous because of teeth sensitivity. Maybe trying it once won't be so bad. There's just something about white teeth...

      I had a professional whitening treatment done once, and though it worked well, it was expensive! I'm glad these types of affordable options are now so easy and effective.

      Oh wow, it's good to read this actually works. I have been seeing this on the aisle but had no idea if it helps or just another gimmick product. Thanks, Elle, I will give this a go!

      Last time I used Crest White Strips was for my wedding over 8 years ago (Yikes!)--time to do it again, I'd say! (Especially since I'm a coffee and red wine drinker too...)

      I just got these same whitening strips sent to me and girl you are right, they work so good. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked because I remember the old version when they first came out and those were kind of a big mess. These are great and I noticed a difference in my teeth after the first use!! :)

      Your teeth are lovely Elle, they look to work very well! I don't think we get Crest here in the UK though. Brushing your teeth with crushed strawberries once a week is a great natural whitener!

      You do have amazingly white teeth, Elle! I used these to prep for my wedding earlier this year and was so happy with the results! They really do work and are so much more cost-effective than professional treatments!
