Pearly whites and other things

I agree about the whitening toothpaste...they'll do/say anything to get us to buy their brand. I've even tried a gel that I leave on my teeth and hold a blue light to it. Of course there was no change and I feel such a fool for trying it. Thank goodness it was not expensive. I even tried bi-carb soda ... I heard that's what Julia Roberts uses. My teeth were really clean and smooth and shiny so they did look a little better but no, they were not whiter by any stretch of the imagination.

Oh dear, he's had surgery too and he looks TERRIBLE!! He was good looking before in my opinion and he looks awful now. I wonder how he can show his face?

I suspect, with Julia Roberts, she has white teeth to start with. A lovely-looking woman and I'm so pleased she's the face of one of Lancome's fragrances. Ricky Gervais amuses me as he's well known virtually around the world but he refuses to have his teeth whitened, primarily for US audiences. I don't know what he uses as an excuse but it's his life so should be able to look how he wants to look. I mean, look at the state of Simon Cowell now, he looks (and is) so fake!

I became a tad anxious this morning. I have left filling out my passport application till now because I am expecting copies of my marriage certificates. I was reading before I filled it in and I read that I need divorce papers as well. Now the marriage certificates (2) have taken a few weeks and cost me $96. The list of pricey incidentals is getting longer and here I am, thinking I have to pay for then wait for these ones as well. It all became a bit much and I was wanting to back out. There are a few other things going on concerning large sums of money where I have to hand over the cash and trust that I'm doing the right thing. It's quite scary.

OMG, having to tap into money, set aside for the trip! I truly, truly do feel for you, as I just went thru that whole flippin' process last Spring/Early Summer dealing with the Federal Government over my pensions. Yup, paid $75.00 for Marraige Certificate...another $75.00 for Divorce Certificate, (waited forever for them)...SENT them by Double-registered mail to the government Office....THEY HAD TO SIGN at their end for receiving them...and THEY HAVE LOST MY DIVORCE CERTIFICATE! Course they won't admit that..I even had to get my Member of Parliament involved...and STILL only have a portion of my pensions..and I have to mount an appeal for my credit sharing portion. Dearheart, my advice...if at ALL possible...DO NOT trust those documents out of your hands...handcuff them to you. They will misplace them...AND LIE! It was such a flippin' mess...they played me out, and I haven't filed my appeal yet! I am sorry about the ruination of your budget...but please do what you can to make this trip...YOU deserve it!

Do you belong to a workers union? They are the ones to check with. Or check your work policy, if you can find a copy. Good luck.

Hi missybear - it's not blue lipstick,, it's a blue base lipstick. That is, red or pink mixed with blue to give it a cool look. That's instead of yellow bases which give a warm look. Something tells me your work cannot dictate to you what colour your hair can be. I've worked in places with very strict dress and hygiene codes and they could say nothing about the colour of their staffs hair.

I see lots of people with the bright red high lights and I thought about doing something like that, I'm gonna have to check out the policy

That's a good idea doroffee, I wear a lot of white as it suits me. I will have to check out the effect of the particular shirt I'm wearing. I'm hoping those same people you mentioned don't notice when folk like me don't have pearly white teeth.

Do people really do what? Have their teeth whitened? Absolutely...it's all the rage in the Western world (and ridiculous too in some cases) My family all have yellowy teeth...it's a genetic thing and no amount of brushing helps. I also smoke occasionally and drink lots of coffee so my teeth are horrible. My teeth are horrible anyway because they are very crooked. When God handed out teeth I got a bad deal.

Oh I'm certain you're game for anything and the lipstick is not a problem... ...it's where you put it that worries me.

Yes, it's funny and terribly embarrassing when you see celebrities who's teeth are ultra white. It makes the teeth look too big for the mouth sometimes and I sometimes think they are falsies (false teeth) and they don't fit too well.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's so silly you have to giggle.

Hahahaha you made me laugh but I agree with you I remember I had a classmate back in high school and I cannot stop looking at here teeth because aside from being a denture her teeth doesn't fit right and super white and it made me laugh every time I see her hahaha I am not trying to be mean It makin me laugh tho haha
