Healthy Swellness: Colgate Total Advanced Health Daily Repair Confessions + GIVEAWAY
July 25, 2016
First things first: Products were provided to me by Colgate-Palmolive, but the opinions expressed here are my own.
** THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.**
Alright, alright, so in theory I generally aim to take better care of myself. But in reality, sometimes my healthy habits could use some improvement. I could drink more water. I should establish a consistent sleep schedule. And I could floss more, and I probably could brush for a longer period of time (I’m currently using a manual toothbrush that doesn’t have a built-in timer so it’s likely not the recommended two minutes. Who am I kidding? It’s definitely not the recommended two minutes!).
Why am I ‘fessing up on on what I could be doing more of to improve my health? Well, because I’ve partnered with Colgate to challenge myself to reveal the health upgrades I could be doing more of.
So yes, I slack on flossing. And on brushing time. I also don’t use mouthwash regularly. Geez, I’m not doing very well on this little personal evaluation, am I?
With my focus right now on healthy intentions, Colgate sent me the Colgate Total* Advanced Health* Daily Repair Toothpaste and Colgate* Slim Soft™ Toothbrush (oh yeah, changing my toothbrush every few months, something else I don’t do regularly, oops!). I was happy to break into them and add them to my daily routine because it helps pick up the slack since I’m now very clearly and very much aware that I’m not the greatest when it comes to good mouth health habits. Colgate Total* Advanced Health* Daily Repair Toothpaste contains a multi-active formula that helps not just maintain but repair early teeth and gum damage. It does this by remineralizing weakened enamel (so this means your teeth become stronger), preventing cavities, and boosting gum health thanks to how it fights plaque- and gingivitis-causing bacteria.
So while it certainly doesn’t entirely make up for those areas of healthy dental habits where I’m failing somewhat, it does put me a little more on team healthy.
Now, don’t let me do all this on my own, folks! Confess what you could be doing better when it comes to your health and you’ll be entered into my giveaway with Colgate with the prize being one $250 CAD giftcard to Fairmont Hotels. (You can find rules and regulations here.)
Need more incentive? Well, share your #ColgateDailyRepair confession here via Rafflecopter and you’ll be entered into my giveaway courtesy of Colgate of a $250 CAD giftcard to Fairmont Hotels.

I definitely could floss better but I think quitting smoking and using an electric toothbrush are helping me keep my pearly whites intact

I don’t floss. At all!
I hate how it feels in my mouth so I rely on my electric toothbrush & quarterly dental cleaning!
Really want to find the floss that would work for me

I could be brushing a little longer and flossing a bit more consistently. I have the same argument in my head every night trying to get out of doing it!

Will G | July 26, 2016 at 5:09 PM
I could workout more.
13.

Floss more (e.g. not just before the dentist), drink less wine and coffee, and brush for longer than 5 seconds when I get home late at night

Danielle | July 26, 2016 at 7:47 PM
Oh gosh, let me count the ways, lol
I could be eating healthier, doing more exercise and definitely flossing.

I really need to floss more. I only do it when I have something stuck.

Flossing is my downfall, I am good for a week or two after my cleaning and then I stop.
