Healthy Swellness: Colgate Total Advanced Health Daily Repair Confessions + GIVEAWAY

image

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.)

Travel Swellness: The Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Lobby Scent

Le Labo and Fairmont

My heart was racing when I received a package in the mail a few days ago.  The return address: Le Labo.

I ripped it open and inside was a charming wooden box with a personalized candle and a handful of bottles containing fragrance notes, along with a sweet letter from Fabrice and  Eddie, the founders of the niche fragrance line Le Labo, and Jennifer Fox and Alix Blum of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.

Fabrice and Eddie are now embarking on developing the Fairmont’s Lobby Scent — I travelled to Grasse, France, last year to meet with them to learn about their plans for the scent. In the box is their first draft in the form of a candle, which features five of the main ingredients from the formula: the rose we smelled together in Grasse, Canadian cedar leaf, cinnamon, patchouli and clove. The candle represents the master scent of the upcoming collection. And now, the pair are globetrotting to create three extensions of the scent, which will highlight a local ingredient from their travels.

This candle smells delicious–so warm and comforting. And I can’t wait to see what Le Labo creates for the extensions. Until then, I will burn this candle and dream of that warm, spring day I spent last year in the rose fields in Grasse.
