LISTERINE® Total Care Zero Mouthwash

"IT'S THE PURPLE MOUTHWASH"^™

As a member of Crowdtap, I was recently selected to receive a sample of the brand new LISTERINE® Total Care Zero Anticavity Mouthwash! I have used Listerine® mouthwash over the years and I trust the brand and believe in its effectiveness as it is a quality product. 

According to the information I received, “the makers of LISTERINE® have found that many Americans are craving more options for less intense, alcohol-free mouthwashes. To help answer that craving and encourage a complete oral care routine consisting of brushing, flossing, and rinsing with a therapeutic mouthwash, the brand is proud to introduce its newest and most complete zero-alcohol mouthwash, LISTERINE® Total Care Zero.”

 

I was excited to try this new wash as it says it is alchohol-free and less intense which are both things I look for in a mouthwash! I have had a hard time being a consistent daily user especially when the mouthwash is very intense in both burning sensation and flavor. BUT, this mouthwash stays true to it’s promise. It was pleasant in its fresh mint flavor and did not burn my mouth but left it feeling refreshed. It left my teeth feeling smooth, and I felt confident I had fresh breath!

 

Another thing I liked is the fresh breath, minty feeling is long lasting. And that is great because I am on a diet and find that it helps reduce my cravings. Especially in the mornings and most importantly in the evenings when my will power is fading to stay away from sweets. All I have to do is brush my teeth and rinse with LISTERINE® Total Care Zero Mouthwash and the nice minty feeling and flavor helps keep me out of the popcorn and ice cream!

 Here are some things from the letter I received with my sample that you might like to know about LISTERINE® Total Care Zero Mouthwash:

New LISTERINE® Total Care Zero boasts a less intense flavor and zero-alcohol formula to help provide a cleaner and fresher mouth. The new formula provides all the same healthy mouth benefits of LISTERINE® Total Care Including –

*Restoring enamel
*Helping to prevent cavities
*Strengthening teeth
*Killing the germs that cause bad breath
*Freshening breath
*Cleaning the whole mouth

As they say on the label, “6 BENEFITS IN ONE!”

Use twice a day after you’ve brushed and flossed. Only a small amount, 2 teaspooons, is needed to rinse with.  Swish for one minute and then you can go on your way feeling confident you have fresh breath and have done your mouth (and possibly everyone else around you ;) a favor! I do find it kind of therapeutic for sure!

Goals, or Not to Goals, That is the Question?!

I was recently asked to write about my New Years resolutions. Honestly when midnight hit on New Year's morning, I was asleep in bed. And the next day, I didn't really want to proclaim "These are my resolutions!" But I do like the idea of setting Goals for myself. 

So these are my 2012 Goals!

Do I have any New Year’s resolutions? What are they?

I have several goalsI have made for myself for 2012. 

*Get more organized and stay that way! Clear out the clutter and keep what we need. Sell or donate what we don't!

*Make a menu each week and limit our eating out.

*Read my Bible & pray more!

*Potty train my almost 3 year old! Enough said there! LOL!

*BLOG MORE!!! :-)

*Start working out and eat healthier so I can feel better physically and have a better self confidence of how I look. And hopefully gain more energy and lose weight in the process!!!

In previous years I have made resolutions and then not stuck with them. I was gung-ho in January & February and then slowly faded after that. I figure if I set a goal but also give a little wiggle room and don't beat myself up if I fall off the track and have to get back on, that will just be part of making positive changes as long as I try to stick with it for the long haul. Hopefully that makes sense! :-)

What is the biggest goal you want to accomplish this year?

Probably my biggest goal for 2012 is to remember to savor the moments with my children.

Wyatt & Levi - Christmas Morning 2011

As my boy's birthday's are approaching next month and they will be turning 2 & 3, it has just really hit me that my little babies are getting bigger and aren't so much "baby" anymore! I know they are still small, but I just can't believe how fast time is going by. At times life is so crazy, but I want to remember to take step back mentally and just soak up these precious moments when they are still small and at home with me! I love being a mom and pouring my love into my children. And I want to teach them more about God who loves them too!! I think that is the greatest thing we can do!
