Oil Pulling - Does it work?

The newest health trend derives from India where oil pulling is used for a variety of health reasons. The idea is to swish oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes each day and the oil pulls bacteria from your mouth that absorbs into it and is released from your body with the oil when you spit it out. Recent studies have shown that using organic sesame oil for this for a month reduces bacteria in your mouth by 40% and coconut oil by 20%. Using sesame oil as an oral health agent helps to reduce the amount of S. mutans (germ) count in both teeth plaque and mouth saliva. Scientists believe that the lipids in the oil both pull out bacteria, as well as stop bacterial from sticking to the walls of the oral cavity.

Benefits include:

      • Prevention for bad breath
• Prevention of diseases of the gums and mouth, such as cavities and gingivitis
• Strengthening your teeth, gums and jaws
• Prevention of dryness of the lips, mouth and throat
• Possible holistic treatment for TMJ and general soreness in the jaw area
        • Migraine headache relief
• Reduces the symptoms of allergies
• May reduce symptoms of bronchitis
• Helps support normal kidney function
• May help reduce sinus congestion • Reducing inflammation of arthritis
        • Helps reduce insomnia

Dentists way in

Does it work? Well i'll just have to try it for a month and see.

Day 1: Yuck. I had to distract myself somehow to keep the oil in my mouth for the alloted time so I took a tablespoon of sesame oil and took a shower while swishing it in my mouth. When spitting it out, it looked darker and gave me the same amount of satisfaction I have when emptying dirty water from my carpet cleaner. My teeth felt very smooth as if I had just left the dentist! The taste of the oil stayed in my mouth for maybe 20 minutes until I ate a mint. My teeth stayed smooth into day 2, though.

DIY Halloween Costumes- Isabela from Encanto

I found a ton of cute lavender dresses a’la Isabela from Encanto. I started with tulle to give the princess feel, and also included more comfortable options. You can get away with just the flower behind your ear, but I think the added ones throughout the hair are more Isabela. I added two options, but Shein does have many options for hair flowers. Oh and use my code at Shein for 10% off your order! The first 3 dresses are Shein sizes 2-12. This first dress definitely will make you feel like a princess! These shoes are the most accurate to the cosplay as well. Tulle Dress Mary Jane Ballet Flats Large Flower hair clips Small Flower hair clips Dress option 2 is more casual and looks so comfy. You could wear this more often after displaying. As it’s more casual, I also added more casual flats.

90s Style Categories

Denim, tie dye, backward baseball caps, bright colors, overalls, and knee highs are just some of the things that remind most people of the 90s. I'm horrified when I look back at most pictures I have as a child, as I dressed more like Nickelodeon's Clarissa and Alex Mack instead of like the more trendy 90s styles. I wore tshirts with denim shorts and overalls quite often. One thing I miss about those days is the comfort. I was not aware of most of the 90s fashions that were available at the time (hey we didn't have internet yet) and I basically wore whatever my parents bought me. It was nice to be able to dress for comfort! Kids nowadays seem to be beyond their years and dress much older than their age. I've been thinking of having a 90s party this year, and this time perhaps I'll actually dress in a different 90s style that I never wore when I was younger. I'm breaking down some of the styles into categories below. These are categories in my mind
