One of the things I receive the most compliments on is my smile. Not my carefully coiffed curly tresses, not my fabulous collection of stilettos or even my Bobbi Brown-esque makeup skill. My smile seems to be the one thing people respond to most.

I am a smiler. I smile for just about everything including things that don’t typically warrant a smile. You could say it’s my weapon of choice to combat life’s many woes. While I am a bonafide smiler now, I wasn’t always. In fact, it wasn’t until after I took my braces off, at age 32, that I truly embraced my inner smiley.

As an avid tea enthusiast and lover of red wines, my dentist warned that my pearly whites may fast become pearly ivory–she wasn’t kidding. As you can see from the photo I took Friday, my pearly whites simply aren’t white anymore. I’d like to change that without breaking the bank.

Enter Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips (retail $54.99). After just ONE 2 hour treatment, tooth stains are removed below the tooth’s surface, allowing your smile to be in tip-top shape for any of life’s spontaneous moments!

In about 2 weeks, I’m attending a gala and by gala I mean a black-tie event. I’ll be wearing a custom-made gown that belonged to my late grandmother. To say this event is a big deal is the understatement of the week. I plan to look stunning and I’d like my teeth to follow suit. I think I can afford 2 hours for Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips, how about you?

Do you have an important life event that you would whiten for in just 2 hours?
