Better Shoes For A Better Life

I Love the latest Swedish Hasbeens Spring / Summer campaign.  Inspired by the active lifestyle of the 1950's - 50's.

Homemade Tooth Powder

My husband I have not used toothpaste for a year or so now, and have definitely noticed the difference. We find this home made tooth powder leaves our teeth fresher and cleaner. It only has three ingredients. Baking soda, Peppermint oil and Stevia (natural plant sweetener available at all health food stores). Baking soda is known to neutralize plaque acid and eliminate bacteria because of its high alkaline properties. It is also known to fight gum infection and inflammation. Give it a try!

In a jar half fill with baking soda, add a tsp of stevia powder and about 5 drops of peppermint oil. You can add more or less of the stevia or oil depending on your preference. Shake the jar really well.

Wet your toothbrush and dip it in to the powder to coat and then brush as usual!

Charlotte Taylor Spring / Summer 2012

Even though Autumn is upon us here in this side of the hemisphere, I thought I would post this  Spring / Summer collection by British designer Charlotte Taylor.  I love the use of silk and all over jewel prints. I wouldn't mind a couple of pieces from this collection to mix and match together.
