Perfect teeth in 10 weeks!

Hey Everyone!

Hope you've all been okay and had a good Christmas and New Year ☺️ As you may know I work in a dentist as a receptionist so get treatment for free or discounted once I've been working there 6 months or more! Well in September I had my 6 month review and also had my Dental Health Assessment! Surprisingly everything was fine apart from I needed a small filling doing on one of my teeth.

Once I had that done I was 'dentally fit' for 6 Months Smiles, invisible and short term orthodontics, I had my braces fitted on 30th September and on the 27th October, I had my first adjustment. When I first had my braces fitted I struggled to eat for about 5 days although I tried to go straight to harder food just cutting it up very small (a bit like a baby) the main reason for this was as I had bite blocks on so I couldn't bite down on any teeth apart from my back ones. This was hard to get used to and the pain didn't help so I made sure I was keeping on top of taking pain killers.

Surprisingly the first adjustment didn't hurt my teeth or cause much after pain like I'd expected it too. I was used to the braces and eating with them was a lot easier by this point, the main struggle when it came to food was watching what I was eating because I wasn't allowed any tomato based products or anything which would stain my teeth for example curry. I was really craving spaghetti bolognaise by the time my first adjustment came around I was dying to have some so the night before my adjustment I had a nice big portion of spag bol and a glass of coke (as you're not really allowed that either) I definitely treated myself haha.

The second adjustment came around fairly quickly, I had this done on 24th November and we were due to go out for my grandads birthday a few days later so I was worried I wouldn't be able to eat but again I was lucky that the adjustment didn't cause much after pain! At this adjustment Nicky, the dentist, and Nicole, the dental nurse, had a laugh and a joke with me saying I'd kept my braces so clean that they could reuse the bands. It was nice to have a relaxed atmosphere as even though I work here no one enjoys going to the dentist! At this appointment Nicky told me my braces were ready to come off in 2 weeks after speaking to Sharon, the practice manager, and arranging a date for them to be taken off I finally had my de-bond date..safe to say I was excited :)

So just after 2 weeks my de-bond date was here, I was working until 3pm that day and I'm pretty sure the day went slower than any before. It might have something to do with me counting down the hours though...eventually 3pm was here I was so excited to have my braces off. Overall getting them off took about an hour. The pain getting them off wasn't nice but once they were off I wasn't bothered how much it hurt, because my teeth looked amazing! I was so happy and instantly it gave me a bit more confidence.

Despite me saying how much it hurt I would definitely recommend you getting the 6 months smile braces if you are thinking about it, it can cost just over £3000 but most dentists are happy to offer payment plans.
At Titchfield Dental Health we offer different ways to pay for it:
~ V12 interest free loan over 6 or 10 months.
~ Pay half or a lump sum at the impressions appointment then split the remaining amount over each adjustment appointment, however if the braces are ready to come off before the 6 months are up you will need to pay the money before the braces are taken off.

I had got my perfect smile in just 10 WEEKS!

InstaNatural Argan Oil 💆

Hey Guys!

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased feedback.

I loved this product its easy to use, smells lovely and you can leave it on overnight! However, I only left it on for around 7-10 minutes due to the fact I was going out after both times I used it. Its great because you can have a nice soak in the bath whilst you're waiting for it to treat your hair its not a difficult treatment and its ever so relaxing. 

The directions are stated on the bottle so you don't need to keep the box, you only need a tiny amount too which is great as it will last longer! 
As it says on the bottle you wet your hair, apply then rinse off with shampoo and condition if you please. 

I have to be honest I was worried about using this product due to the fact my hair tends to get greasy quickly however it hasn't made a difference to how often I wash my hair it has left it feeling soft after use and smelling lovely. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that wants to take extra good care of their hair.

As usual I will post the links to the products at the end, you can get this from Amazon and Instanatural.com.

InstaNatural Argan Oil Hair Mask 💆

Hey Guys!

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased feedback.

When I was contacted to write a review on this product I was very excited as my hair is long and is forever breaking off, so I was looking forward to trying something which could possibly help my hair. I tried this product after I shampoo'd my hair and then rinsed it off after 15 minutes, some people tend to use a conditioner after using conditioning treatments but I didn't. When the treatment was on I wrapped my hair in a towel so it could soak in better and help the rest of my hair as I only applied it to the ends as thats where the majority of the damage is. 

This smells lovely, the pot is a very good size and will last a while as you only need a bit. It left my hair dryer on the ends which was fine for me as my hair tends to get greasy quickly so it meant it stayed cleaner for a bit longer. I tend to wash my hair every other day but when I used this I got away without washing it for 2 days. I would definitely recommend this product, even though I received it for free I would be more than happy to spend money on it as it has definitely helped the condition of my hair. 

You can buy the InstaNatural Argan Oil Hair Mask from Amazon and instanatural.com - as usual I will post the links at the end.

Highlighting and Contouring Course

Hey! 

Yesterday me and Issy went to London to do the MAC highlighting and contouring course we got for our birthdays. It was a long day and we got drenched but we had a lot of fun! I learnt some things I didn't know and we also treated ourselves to yet more make-up 🙈

We had to get the train up to London and then walk from the station to Makeup London Academy in Camden. Literally as soon as we got out the station it started tipping it down with rain, we got drenched and looked like drowned rats but luckily there was a cafe opposite the academy so we went in there for a cuppa to warm up and dry off a bit until our class started. 

When we went in we were shown downstairs where the class was held and we had our coats taken and offered drinks so it was a warm welcome. The class can consist of 1-8 students but in our particular one we only had 4 of us in total so it was nice as we could all see what the tutor was doing. 

Jules, the tutor, demonstrated on one of the girls that was there for the course. She demonstrated on half her face then once finished we went off to have a go ourselves. Personally, I have had contouring done on me before and I hated it so I opted to practise and Issy was my model. 

As we had a train to catch we had to make sure we were on time, Issy knew how to contour before this course so she does it in her daily make up routine anyway (luckily). I done half her face to make sure I got it right, the look was natural and I was really proud of it, I also added some eyeshadow and eyeliner to make her eyes stand out a bit more. By the time I finished half of her face and made eyes even it was pretty much over so it is a good job she contours anyway haha! 

Contour and highlighting is a lot easier than I thought it was going to be and today I even tried it on myself and I like how it looks as I tend to do it quite subtle. There are many videos online which contour and highlight most of the face when really its not necessary as it creates a heavier look. 

I will be posting a video on my new make up routine when I can get round to filming one! So keep your eyes peeled ☺️

It's a shame you can't buy confidence...

Hey guys, 

I know I normally blog about make up and fashion but I've been feeling a bit crappy lately about myself so thought I'd write a blog about it incase anyone else is going through the same thing and can relate or has been through it and can help others get over it! 

So I've never been confident to be honest, I always thought my friends were prettier than me and they always got attention whereas I didn't and if I did I would shrug it off as I thought they were just taking the mick. 

The end of last year my confidence started to pick up and I felt happier in my body, I don't know whether its because of things that were happening that made me feel like it but it made me feel good and happy. However, lately I've noticed my confidence has gone back down again and I'm starting to feel like I used to which to be honest isn't great. 

It's weird how it takes such a long time to build up confidence and it takes a matter of minutes to knock it down again. 

If anyone has gone through this please message me so I can start to feel better about myself with any tips you may have, if you are going through this please message me and hopefully we can help each other! 

I saw on This Morning once that they got people to write down what they didn't like about themselves on a bit of paper and they got someone else to read it out the them, they then had to write down 3 things they liked about themselves and the guy that read out the negatives then read out the positives along with the 'negatives' however they were also turned into positives so soon enough the girls confidence went up. I don't know if this would work for anyone but you never know. 

Also another thing I've seen before is when you wake up in the morning you smile to yourself for 20 seconds, you might feel like an idiot but apparently this works too. 

Let me know if any of these work for you and also on any tips! 

Thanks for reading :)

Sorella Beauty.

Hey! 

Me and my sister, Isobelle, are currently trying to set up our own beauty business called Sorella Beauty. We are both very excited about this as it will give us a chance to do the things we love on the side of our normal jobs and hopefully eventually we can do it full time. 

I am going to be doing the make up for Sorella Beauty, I am booked onto a course at the end of September where I will be able to expand my skills and knowledge. I am currently buying new make up and practising on friends on family and I'm absolutely loving it! 

We have made up business cards and leaflets using Vistaprint and the quality of them are amazing, I would definitely recommend them to get any products you need printing or designing. Along with all the make up I have been buying I also treated myself to a case so it looks more professional and its easier to carry my equipment around in, I got the case from eBay and it was delivered to me within 2 days - its so cute! 

This blog is mainly to try and get some advertisement for the business, so please give out Facebook page a like!
