What I Wore: Sweater, Vest + Hunter Boots & Smile Brilliant

Happy New Year Friends!

Can you believe its already 2017!

Today I'm going to share a what I wore outfit post + a few things I'm loving at the moment!

sweater: $3.99 Goodwill (target)

black vest: Gap $19

skinny jeans: $4.99 Goodwill (belk)

boots: HunterBoots (ebay)

This is one of my favorite outfits to wear for running errands on a cold, rainy day!

Goodwill has always been my go to shopping spot for all the basic sweaters & jeans!

I mean, where else can you get a target sweater + Belk brand jeans for $4.99?

Smile Brilliant

My secret to getting rid of those coffee stained teeth, without having to spend a fortune or stepping foot inside my dentist office!

It's super simple friends, at home teeth whitening has never been so easy, If your like me and have sensitive teeth or tooth sensitivity, whitening your teeth can be painful but I'm here to tell you that my experience with Smile Brilliant was amazing & I had zero issues with sensitivity.

The process is simple!

here's what you do:

* make impressions of upper and lower teeth and send them to the Smile Brilliant lab using the pre-addressed envelope which comes with pre-paid postage

* 5 days after Smile Brilliant receives your dental impressions your trays will be sent back to you

* get trays and start whitening

* you separately buy the professional grade teeth whiting gel and have the option of buying the desensitizing gel as well, which i would highly recommend.

*I whitening a total of 4 times, 4!

What you're kit looks like!

It has very detailed and step-by-step instructions on how to make our impressions and then on how to actually whitening your teeth with the gel.

Like I said above I whitened a total of 4 times, 4! I've seen a huge difference in just the short amount of time I've done it! I thought my teeth were white before I started whitening and now that I compare the two I see my teeth were so stained from coffee and were no where near as white as I thought before..but they're white now!

I'm whitening my teeth in this picture you cant even tell can you?

I like to whiten my teeth while working out or watching Netflix.

Here is my before and after

After

Smile Brilliant has changed my teeth dramatically within the 1st 4 uses!

I'm loving my results and will continue to whiten.

Jord Wood Watch + Giveaway

Women's Wood Watch

JORD watch c/o Boho shirt / skinny jeans / boots / coffee mug

Happy Fall Y'all! As you can tell from the above pictures, I hardly wear any jewelry! I usually stick to one main accessory as a fall focal point. Lately, this watch has been stealing the show! JORD makes incredible watches out of various types of wood. I chose the Frankie series in Dark Sandalwood and Slate. The rose gold touches make this wood watch pop with any outfit I wear! I also love the modern touches this watch has to offer.

This fall I'm playing around with wearing more earth tones + adding warmth to add to my outfits. Take for example this boho chic top I recently thrifted, it goes perfect with this watch. Its seen in the pictures above!

But JORD wooden watches aren't just for women, they have an amazing selection of men's as well!

Christmas is right around the corner and who wouldn't love a modern, unique wood watch! check out a few of them here.

I am so excited, because my friends over at JORD and I are giving a $75 e-gift card to one of my readers! Y'all are probably thinking "Andrea, I never win anything" well don't worry, because every entrant will receive a $20 gift card just for entering. The giveaway will end November 27 at 11:59pm

Enter here for the giveaway! Good Luck!
