We are huge football fans in our household. Every Saturday we watch college football and Sundays we basically stay home and watch football all day. A lot of the times we have our friends and family over. I don't consider myself the best host because I am still learning as I go. I have learned a few tips that had made our game days more successful. 

1. Paper Plates & Napkins- These are a must for any party. Otherwise your dishes will pile up and I know I am not washing them. Paper plates and napkins are so convenient. Once your guest is done eating they can just throw it away and done! 

2. Finger Foods- I have learned that buying finger foods is easiest to keep a group of people happy. Games are long and commercial breaks are always food breaks for us. Cheese trays, fruit, chips, dip, guacamole, wings and meatballs are a few of our favorites. 

3. Stock up on Drinks- Sparkling Ice are a favorite to purchase for game days. We keep the Sparkling Ice Pink Variety pack on hand. They come in a 12 pack of Black Cherry, Peach Nectarine, Coconut Pineapple & Pink Grapefruit. I love that Sparking Ice has natural colors and flavors, vitamins and antioxidants, and zero sugar! You can find Sparkling Ice Pink Variety pack near you here. 

4. Have everyone bring something- Potlucks are always a smart idea. You don't have to stress about providing all the food. There will be plenty of food this way! 

5. A Cozy Sitting Area to watch the Game- We love to clear up our sitting area. If it's a cold day we like to keep throw blankets and pillow nearby. Games are long and feeling comfortable is key. 

Hey y'all! I am so excited to share a product that has helped me gain a confident smile. I am partnering up with Smile Brilliant on today's post. I am a HUGE coffee drinker. I drink coffee every single day. At 29 I found myself smiling less and covering my mouth when I laughed because my teeth were starting to look way too yellow. I love coffee but stained teeth is my worst nightmare. Throughout the years I have tried every product you can think of to help whiten my teeth. Strips, toothpaste, mouthwash, charcoal and even gum. Strips never really worked for me because of my sensitive teeth and everything else I never really saw a long term difference. Until a few weeks ago I was introduced to Smile Brilliant. It is an at home teeth whitening kit that will meet all of your teeth whitening needs.

I started this process a little over a month ago. My concern was experiencing gum and teeth irritation. Smile Brilliant offers a non-sensitive kit and sensitive kit. I went with the sensitive kit because of my past experience with teeth whitening. The kit arrived promptly. They send you everything you need including the putty to create your custom teeth whitening trays. Once you send off your molds you will receive your custom trays and you can begin this teeth whitening process. Their website is easy to navigate and finding the product you need is easy.

I did a total of 6 sessions and probably could have done at least one more, but I was very happy with the results I skipped the last one. My first teeth whitening session was 45 minutes followed by the desensitizing gel session which was 20 minutes. Every whitening session after that I was only able to do 30 minutes and 15 minute desensitizing session because life! HA! I did one to two sessions a week only because I was trying to avoid my gums from getting irritated. However, I experienced little to no gum sensitivity which is rare!

What I love the most about this teeth whitening kit is that the results last for up to a year. This kit is for sure worth every penny.
