In Praise Of My Latest Toy!

Posted by Penelope Filed Under Dental, Dental Care with No Comments

I have just bought a Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser and ooohhh what a lovely piece of kit it is! The unit itself looks sleek and modern and a stylish addition to my bathroom. A nice touch is the fact that the different heads that attach to the Waterpik Ultra are housed in a tray which fits neatly on top of the unit, out of sight but still where you need them. I have the cordless version so no wiring which can get in the way and it makes the installation easier. I find that the resevoir holds enough water for a good clean and boy does it clean – I’m sure it could strip paint too! My mouth and gums have never felt ‘squeeky clean’ before but I can truly say that after a few uses of my new water flosser my teeth and gums have never felt cleaner or fresher all day long.

Frizzy Hair Can Be Tamed

I was despairing of ever finding any effective products for frizzy hair when a friend of mine mentioned something called Moroccan Oil. Apparently it is used by all the top salons and many ‘A list’ celebs insist on it’s use when at the stylist so I thought that I would give it a go. Naturally with such an endorsement the product is not the cheapest around but if it worked I thought that it would be worth it to finally feel good about my appearance all day. Well did it work? I’ll say, not only does my hair look better than it has done for years but cost wise you use so little of the oil that it works out not much more expensive than buying lots of other, inferior, cheaper products. I only wish that I had found the product years ago!
