    Confidence booster from Elgydium

    June 14, 2017 in Beauty, Launches, Reviews

    Toothpaste isn’t always the easiest thing to review because the results don’t often stand out enough that one can convey with an image. I did my best to do a before and after shot that was as accurate as possible. Let us start by saying that when I think of the Elgydium brand two things pop into my A) What a funny name and B) instant confidence booster. The reason being is that twice now their press drops have given me a push to do something. The first was earlier this year when I was procrastinating and not really studying as hard as I should have been when Elgydium sent me their Whitening Cool Lemon flavoured toothpaste and an awesome notebook filled with mini post-its. It prompted me to open up my textbooks and use the colourful note-markers.

    The second time was with this press-drop where they sent a stunning MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour in “Quite the Standout”. I was heading off to an event and wasn’t feeling all that social. I decided to apply this intense shade and instantly it perked me and was the talking point that broke the ice.

    For two solid weeks, morning and evening I have been using the Elgydium Whitening Toothpaste R59.99 together with the Elgydium Anti-Stain Toothpaste Cure R69.99. Twice a week, so for eight brushes I’d swop the Whitening Toothpaste for the Anti-Stain.

    I don’t whiten my teeth and do drink plenty of red wine which does stain my teeth unfortunately. I had a check-up and clean at the oral hygienist last month, who said everything was perfect and no issues aside from some stain build-up from the red wine. As these stains are superficial they are easy to polish away and on a daily or regular basis something like the Elgydium Anti-Stain Toothpaste is the ideal option as it is affordable, easy to use and you don’t have to change your lifestyle.

    So thanks to red wine my teeth an 11 on the scale. It was quite interesting as to how the scale works as 6,7,8 had a bluish tinge to them and 9 was almost pinky.

    I use the Anti-Stain toothpaste in place of the Elgydium Whitening twice a week. It has a lower foaming agent to improve the polishing action. I’d use it by gently circulating it across my teeth using an electric toothbrush I could already see a massive difference and my teeth felt smoother, if that makes sense. The Anti-Stain has a unique polishing formula and favours mitigation of residual stains i.e wine, coffee and polishes the dental surfaces while preserving the tooth enamel. It contains an original assossciation of mineral and plant silica to gently polish as well as Fluorinol which is a patent of Pierre Fabre and is 1350ppm of fluoride ions.

    I was thoroughly impressed as my teeth lifted to 2/3 on the scale and they appear much brighter. I love that neither products contain peroxide so one doesn’t have to worry about any sensitivity. This range gets two thumbs-up from me!

      Great review- this is how it should be done 🙂 Not just the image of the product and “I like it” post. Nice. I like this toothpaste too.

    I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to the new #BossMightyChunks range from @bossdogfood over the past month. This particular post is about health. 

About just how important your animal's health is as your own.
These furry little souls keep me going. They kept my spirits up throughout the medical challenges I faced last year. Seeing them was bliss.

The first two are from last week when I re-purchased their new favourite tasty meals. They actually recognised the cans! Queen Candi wanted to make sure "her" food was protected. You can see poor Rocco pleading. It wasn't even supper time yet. 
Our dogs mean so much to us. They are our children. They are on a par with a human toddler in terms of neediness. We admittedly do spoil them a bit too much. However, their well-being is something we have always made sure as all dog parents is a priority. 

They never miss their annual health checkups with any potential issues treated immediately. You may know that last year was a challenging time for me health-wise. It was such a difficult period for my partner & beloved fur-babies. 

Some of the more serious ones included being diagnosed with a second rare chronic illness, 3rd person in South Africa. Also cardiac issues & complications (another rare disease) and then a mini-stroke & more. On top of that, just two days after my final life-saving surgery. 

Richard and the dogs came close to losing their lives when our entire house burnt down. It was a huge turning point for us. We focused more on taking better care of ourselves, valuing every aspect of our lives and are beyond grateful that both dogs managed to make it out. 

I jumped at the opportunity when Boss reached out to me to try their new Mighty Chunks range. That is the dogs trying the range! Not me🤣. I will admit that for someone who doesn't eat meat, the rosemary scent is rather pleasant! 

Seeing how adding some healthy wet food like Boss Mighty Chunks that is nutrient-filled to their diet made an actual difference to their health. Agility and digestive, respectively, have again made us reevaluate the importance of health and well-being. For all of us!

    Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” since including @bossdogfood 
Boss Mighty Chunks into their diet. I thought the thicker gravy for extra taste as a topper is the best and meatier chunks might be a bit much for Candi but she gobbles them down with delight. It’s also helped give her more energy and fewer digestive issues it seems. As an Irish Setter, Rocco is more prone to joint and flexibility issues so seeing him extra agile since including these has been a noticeable health benefit too. 

They are obviously always excited for meal time but not usually this enthusiastic!

Oh, and to purchase or for any information about the new formulation’s extra protection & health benefits then visit the link in my bio.

    The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape is needed! I love Autumn but I’m craving sunny beaches and tranquility and would love it if my next holiday is somewhere exclusive. 

While daydreaming and scrolling, I spotted the incredible @clubmed La Plantation d'Albion! It offers so much! Evening activities, scuba-diving (which I haven't done and want to), a beach bar, secluded coves, a luxurious Cinq Monde Spa and adult-only Zen Zones. Oh did I mention ALL-INCLUSIVE gourmet food, an open bar plus Champagne all day! It’s relaxation heaven! 

Being all-inclusive it’s also budget-friendly which will make it easier to convince Richard to book it for us! 

So, when you make a booking (Link in Bio) tag me in your snaps to make me extra jealous!

    How does the saying go again? In the entertainment How does the saying go again? In the entertainment industry, never work with children or animals?

Well, I've discovered this was especially true tonight. I was just trying to get some snaps of Rocco & Candi testing out some of the new Boss Mighty Chunks. They are available in 3 flavours- Chicken Casserole, Grilled Steak & Lamb Stew. I've honestly never seen them this excited over a specific food before, and they already go crazy for food. 

Candi was incredibly naughty. She's usually so well-behaved. She had the audacity to climb onto the table and stuck her face into the Grilled Steak can! Just as I was setting up my camera.

As a pescatarian, dog food in general typically doesn't have the most appetising smell to me. So I was surprised that all of the Boss Mighty Chunks has a pleasant & extremely unique aromatic rosemary scent. Something both Furbabies seem to love as you can clearly see from all of the fantastic blurry tongues out & mouth-watering impatient background photos of them.

    After all of the heavy rain last night. I’m trul After all of the heavy rain last night. I’m truly hoping for a few more sunny pool days! Mostly because Rocco wanted to spend the majority of last night outside in the rain 🤣🙈

He lives for water. So “splashy pool days” is heaven for him. Even if I’m making him pose… “Look at Daddy for the camera! “

He LOVES water though to the extreme. Even though he is a rescue, every animal behaviourist etc has confirmed he is most likely an Irish Setter.

He can’t swim, due to his build. Large upper thick coat and slender but furry legs. Ideal for trudging through bogs/wetlands in Ireland and the shallow parts of a pool 🤣. I have to be on full mummy duty though. As when he spots water he will go in and follow me. 

Anyone else have an Irish Setter? 

@oneroccoatatime is such a bundle of affection. Check out his Instagram for a Reel of him in his own Kiddies Pool 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
