Every Smile Has A Story

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of ARC. The opinions and text are all mine.

What makes you smile?

Right now, I’m smiling because I know I have a beach vacation coming up! I’m smiling because it’s PRIDE and there are so many amazing things happening in our community and LGBTQ+ trailblazers forging our path ahead in incredible ways. I’m smiling because I recently got married and my husband is a dream. He’s incredibly funny, so I’m laughing and smiling all the time. I’m smiling because it’s Friday and work is almost done! TGIF!

Every smile has a story!

My smile also happens to be my money maker… literally, so I’m extra invested in having a beautiful smile and white teeth! I’m a diligent brusher and flosser, but I drink a fair amount of coffee and wine, so keeping up a whitening routine is super important. Beyond the photo-requirements of my smile, I just feel better and more confident knowing my teeth are white. I’m more willing to smile in conversation and I don’t have to think twice about how my teeth look.

I have been using at-home whitening strips for a few years, and I was just introduced to a new brand called ARC that paired Whitestrips with LED Blue Light technology for an extra boost of whitening. ARC was founded after seeing so many companies launch whitening products with ‘fad’ ingredients that didn’t actually do anything to whiten your teeth and are potentially harmful (like lemon juice, pomegranate seed and lavender). They felt consumers were being misled, so they created strips that omit all those extraneous ingredients.

The system is super simple: each sleeve comes with an upper and lower Whitestrip. Apply them and let sit for 30 min. During the last 5 minutes, turn on your LED blue light and put it in your mouth! You’ll see results within three days! I usually put my whitestrips in while I work from home, but you can easily put them in before you get in the shower or as part of your nightly routine. Honestly, once they’re in, you forget about them. ARC’s strips cling really well to your teeth.

The blue light emits a specific wavelength that weakens the chemical bonds in stains so the peroxide can penetrate your teeth better. There’s no UV light in it, and it lasts up to 28 treatments.
