5 Non-Toxic Ways To Whiten Your Teeth

5 Non-Toxic Ways To Whiten Your Teeth
Until recently, I'd always believed that the only way to a sparkling smile was with toxic chemicals and laser beams. After some research and a bit of trial and error, I’ve uncovered the best, natural ways to achieve a brighter, whiter and healthier smile. Using these ingredients, tips and tools, your teeth will sparkle in no time. 1. This is a staple in any nontoxic aficionado’s cupboard. It’s a simple: for one week, I put my natural toothpaste on the brush and then dip the brush in baking soda. 2. This ancient Ayurvedic treatment is used for a variety of health reasons, and also benefits your oral health. Beyond the benefits of whiter teeth, oil pulling is also great for overall detoxing and body cleansing. 3. Despite their red color, these berries have a whitening effect on the teeth. 4. This is an important tip for those who drink dark beverages or eat brightly colored foods. 5. One of my all time favorite “natural beauty investments” is my electric toothbrush.

ΣΧΟΛΙΚΑ ΒΙΒΛΙΑ ΔΗΜΟΤΙΚΟΥ ΑΠΟ ΤΙΣ ΔΕΚΑΕΤΙΕΣ 80-90 Σίγουρα πέρασαν απο τα χέρια μας πολλά σχολικά βιβλία..θυμάμαι τη μέρα που μας τα μοίραζαν και την χαρά που ένιωθα (βέβαια, για ορισμένα η χαρά μειωνόταν όσο περνούσε η σχολική χρονιά..).. Μετά στο σπίτι,τα έντυνα είτε με αυτό το διάφανο αυτοκόλλητο (στο λύκειο το διάφανο το έκανα μαύρο -απο άποψη-)είτε με τα καλύμματα, άλλοτε διάφανα,άλλοτε μπλε..ανάλογα την όρεξη και τη διαθεσιμότητα του βιβλιοπωλείου.. Και μετά στο σχολείο..τα βιβλία των μαθημάτων που δεν μου πολυάρεσαν κατέληγαν με σχεδιάκια..πάντως σίγουρα τότε ,δεν περίμενα πως θα έρθει η μέρα που θα τα ψάχνω και μάλιστα με χαρά! Δεν μπόρεσα να βρώ αρκετά..ευτυχώς που το ιντερνετ βοηθά και ευτυχώς που υπάρχουν κι άλλοι με παρόμοιες αναζητήσεις.. Κάποια λοιπόν που βρήκα : Προσθέτω κάποιες ακόμα φωτογραφίες (ευχαριστώ Valia Send!)

Spray-On Starpath Glows In The Dark Most rational people would avoid a footpath at night if it didn’t have any lights. But spray the path with a glow-in-the-dark treatment that harvests ultraviolet light during the day for illumination at night and, boy, they’ll come running. PHOTOS: Pop Music Burst As Exploding Paint At least that’s what Pro-Teq Surfacing is hoping. The UK company has developed Starpath, a spray-on technology that can be applied over concrete, tarmac, wood or any other solid surface to give it an artificial teal glow at night. Starpath is applied in three layers: first, a polyurethane base, then a coat of light-absorbing particles and finally a durable, waterproof finishing coat. “This product adjusts to the natural light, so if it is pitch black outside the luminous natural earth enhances, and if the sky is lighter, it won’t release as much luminosity,” Hamish Scott, owner of Pro-Teq Surfacing, says on his website. Starpath is currently being tested on footpath in a well-known park in Cambridge, England.

What Is Love? Famous Definitions from 200 Years of Literary History by Maria Popova “Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only with what you are expecting to give — which is everything.” After those collections of notable definitions of art, science, and philosophy, what better way to start a new year than with a selection of poetic definitions of a peculiar phenomenon that is at once more amorphous than art, more single-minded than science, and more philosophical than philosophy itself? Gathered here are some of the most memorable and timeless insights on love, culled from several hundred years of literary history — enjoy. Kurt Vonnegut, who was in some ways an extremist about love but also had a healthy dose of irreverence about it, in The Sirens of Titan: A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved. Anaïs Nin, whose wisdom on love knew no bounds, in A Literate Passion: Letters of Anaïs Nin & Henry Miller, 1932-1953: What is love but acceptance of the other, whatever he is. C. E.

5 Cliches You Should NEVER Say To Someone Who Is Grieving Like many of you, I was shocked to learn of the passing of Glee star Cory Monteith. My heart goes out to his friends, family, and his girlfriend, Lea Michele. His death came a few days before the anniversary of my late husband's passing and it reminded me things people had said in an effort to comfort me during this time. Some were anything but comforting. I normally stick to the positive and avoid telling people what NOT to do. But today, I break my silence. Here's my list of what NOT to say to the those suffering unexpected loss: 1. DO NOT SAY THIS. Not long after I started college, a high school friend's dad died suddenly. I listened in silent shock. Turns out, she decided to stay in school. Would it have helped if I had pushed the point of everything happening for a reason? 2. What a bunch of crapola! Here's the thing: Time does not heal. But taking action can take time. 3. Seriously? During a bad breakup with my boyfriend at the time, I met a boy. I took a chance and leapt into love.

May 20, 1990: Advice on Life and Creative Integrity from Calvin and Hobbes Creator Bill Watterson by Maria Popova “The truth is, most of us discover where we are headed when we arrive.” ‘Tis the season for glorious life advice dispensed by cap-and-gown-clad elders to cap-and-gown-clad youngsters, emanating a halo effect of timeless wisdom the rest of us can absorb any day, at any stage of life. On May 20, 1990, Bill Watterson, creator of the beloved Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, took the podium at Kenyon College — the same stage David Foster Wallace would occupy 15 years later to deliver one of history’s most memorable commencement addresses — and gave the graduating class a gift of equally remarkable insight and impact. Watterson begins the speech by articulating the same sentiment at the heart of the most unforgettable commencement addresses: the notion that not-knowing is not only a part of the journey, but an integral part: I have a recurring dream about Kenyon. It’s surprising how hard we’ll work when the work is done just for ourselves. He concludes by echoing Rilke:

The Fine Art of Italian Hand Gestures: A Vintage Visual Dictionary by Bruno Munari by Maria Popova A pocket guide to Neapolitan nonverbal communication. Somewhere between his seminal manifestos on design as art and his timelessly delightful children’s books, legendary Italian artist and graphic designer Bruno Munari made time for a number of idiosyncratic side projects. Among them is Speak Italian: The Fine Art of the Gesture (UK; public library) — a charming, quirky, minimalist guide to Italians’ expressive nonverbal communication originally published in 1958 as a supplement to the Italian dictionary, inspired by The Ancients’ Mimic Through the Neapolitan Gestures, the first collection of gestures made by Canon Andrea de Jorio in 1832. Unlike the hefty and sparsely illustrated 380-page original tome, however, Munari’s pocket-sized version features frugally descriptive text and ample, elegant black-and-white photographs of hand-gestures for everything from mundane activities like reading and writing to emotive expressions of praise and criticism.
