LISTERINE® Review

Did you know your mouth contains more germs than there are number of people on earth?


That’s right – and believe it or not, even if you brush twice a day, you’re likely missing millions of them!  In fact, brushing alone misses 75% of your mouth, which is why it’s critical to floss regularly and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash twice a day, like LISTERINE®that that penetrates all over for that whole mouth clean!

Currently, more than 75% of American adults suffer from some form of periodontal (gum) disease and may not even know it. It’s time for everyone to make a change. I hope you’ll consider a resolution for yourself and readers to take the first step towards a healthier mouth in 2013.

LISTERINE® has several NEW products that can help!


NEW LISTERINE® ULTRACLEAN™
The only leading mouthwash with an anti-tartar ingredient, and new EVERFRESH Technology for a dentist clean feeling that lasts up to 3x longer vs. brushing alone. Plus, it provides the superior plaque and gingivitis germ-killing benefits you’ve come to expect from original LISTERINE® Antiseptic.

·         The only leading mouthwash that includes an anti-tartar ingredient proven to control tartar build-up
·         Reaches 75 percent of the mouth that brushing alone misses and provides 24-hour protection against germs that cause plaque and gingivitis when used twice daily for 30 seconds during morning and nighttime oral care routines.
·         Available in Cool Mint, Artic Mint, Fresh Citrus.
·         LISTERINE® ULTRACLEAN™ can be purchased at all food, drug and mass merchandise outlets starting at $3.89 for a 250 ml bottle
The New Listerine UltraClean leaves mine and my families mouth clean and fresh.!


LISTERINE® WHITENING® ORIGINAL GEL
Whitens teeth by removing surface stains and controls tartar to help prevent stains and provide a healthy looking white smile. It restores enamel and strengthens teeth, while also killing bad breath germs to freshen breath and provides fluoride to protect teeth from cavities.

  For maximum benefits, it should be used twice daily for 30 seconds during morning and nighttime oral care routines
·         Available in Power Mint
·         LISTERINE® WHITENING® Original Gel can be purchased at all food, drug and mass merchandise outlets starting at $4.49 for a 4.2 oz. tube

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My family and I have been using the Listerine items for over one week now. My oldest son likes the gel and his teeth have become whiter. He also like the mouthwash. They have a great taste and leave your mouth fresh and clean.

disclosure~ I received the items listed above in exchange for my review:)

Emmy Rossum #SentimentalJourney


Sentimental Journey, releasing on January 29th
is a collection of classic covers that takes us through the American Songbook.
On Sentimental Journey, the multi-talented actress and singer brings her stellar voice to songs popularized by some of the most beloved artists of the last century.
Emmy's 12-song 'passion project' is an emotional musical journey, 
with each song representing a month in the year.

Sentimental Journey Track Listing:
  1. “Sentimental Journey” (Les Brown, Ben Homer, Arthur Green)
  2. “The Object Of My Affection” (Pinky Tomlin)
  3. “I’m Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover “(Mort Dixon, Harry M. Woods)
  4. “These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)” (Eric Maschwitz, Jack Strachey)
  5. “(I’ll Be With You) In Apple Blossom Time” (Albert Von Tilzer, Neville Fleeson)
  6. “Summer Wind” (Heinz Meier, Johnny Mercer)
  7. “Many Tears Ago” (Winfield Scott)
  8. “All I Do Is Dream Of You” (Nacio Herb Brown, Arthur Freed)
  9. “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out” (Jimmy Cox)
  10. “Autumn Leaves” (Joseph Kosma, Jacques Prévert)
  11. “Things” (Bobby Darin)
  12. “Pretty Paper” (Willie Nelson)
"Each song needed to either lyrically or emotionally reflect the corresponding month," Emmy explained. "Some songs were obvious fits, like Summer Windfor June, and Pretty Paper for December. Others songs were less literal fits. I chose Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out) for September because, to me, the plaintive melody and lyric emotionally reflect the cold weather creeping in and the sense of melancholy we can get in the fall months."

Rossum is also an acclaimed actress who currently stars in the Showtime series Shameless with William H. Macy. She also stars alongside Emma Thompson and Viola Davis in the upcoming feature film Beautiful Creatures, which hits theaters on February 13th.

SET your DVR!
  • Emmy will performing a track from Sentimental Journey on Access Hollywood Live on January 25th.

Creating a Peaceful Atmosphere in Your Home





The atmosphere in your house plays a vital role in converting your home to a cozy and
inviting environment. It also plays a very big role in the upbringing of your children
because it encourages them to develop healthy and calming relationships both with you
as their parent and friends. Thus peace, tranquility and love must flow in abundance
throughout your home so that the people living in it can embody the same values,
thereby making it a pleasant heaven on earth.

Every religion and civilization in the world over has its own customs and traditions
which help improve the atmosphere in your home. Some of these traditions might have
different perspectives and beliefs while others may be the same, yet the underlying
goodness that comes from many of these positive traditions remains the same. Likewise
wall fountains are known as peaceful elements that are ideal to place in your interior
because they will help encourage peace and prosperity.

The soft sounds of the water flowing down a slope will not only help to calm your
nerves after a particularly crazy day but the sounds will also make you feel at home
immediately. They have a deep psychological impact on people while at the same time
imparts an elegance and sophistication to the room where they are installed. In fact
creating a sort of a waterfall by placing green plants and rocks around them gives a
natural look to the room making you believe that you are living in the midst of nature
rather than in a concrete jungle.

There are different types of fountains that can be placed on the walls in and around
your home. While some might come with a traditional spout, others have a cascading
flow of water and the movement will immediately remind you of a river and how nice it
is to feel completely relaxed. The interior where you choose to install the fountains on
the walls also has a bearing on the effect it creates. However, fountains blend in well
with all types of décor in any room and will also increase the brilliance of that room.
Fountains are the perfect feature that will bring about a feeling of peace and tranquility.

While wall water fountains made of stone can be strategically placed in a courtyard or
around the gardens for optimizing their effect, fountains made of polished metals can
be used inside the house to provide a striking effect to the room. Generally made of
steel, copper and other metals, these modern fountains have a cascading flow of water.
The flowing water adds a shine and shimmer to the surface of polished metal, thereby
enhancing the brilliance of the fountain and allowing your home to look beautiful. It’s
time to relax in a peaceful and inviting environment.
