Confession

I didn't wear either of the dress options for our engagement pictures!  Oops.


So the white dress was oversold and never shipped, but that was supposed to be okay because the blue dress got the most votes anyway.  The blue dress fits like a glove, however... I don't have the summer glow necessary to pull off that particular shade of blue.  I don't know who I thought I was kidding.


It will make an excellent rehearsal dinner dress.


Here is a little sneak peak of the dress that actually made the photo shoot...

Whitening Day One

Remember the whitening kit I bought off Groupon a few weeks ago?  (If you don't, you can view the post here.)  It finally came in the mail on Tuesday.  I didn't realize what a process this was going to be!  I had to submerge the polymer trays in hot water and then bite on them to make an impression of my teeth, then I had to trim them down so the whitening gel doesn't bleach my gums... Eesh.  Didn't realize it was quite this labor intensive.  But as promised, here is a not so flattering "before" picture.  I will post the final results in one week.



And just for kicks and giggles, I took a picture of the blue light that they included in the package.  It's really almost as bright as the one that the dentist uses.  The only (ridiculous) downside is that the entire 45 minutes you wear the trays, you're supposed to keep the blue light on them.  Here is the evidence of that particular process:

Hopefully in seven days, I will have some seriously white teeth!
