FTA: Weeks 5 - 6

 Warning: this is a tragedy. Actually, more of a horror story - stop reading now if you were expecting a comedy. Also, stop reading if you do not want to see any gruesome pictures. I know no one cares about my misfortunes, but sometimes you just want to complain about how unfair life is, even if no one is listening.

Fingertip Amputation: Did you know?

I bet there are a few things you do not know about fingertip amputations. Rejoice - I am here again to enlighten you. 

Invisalign: The End of the Journey

I finally have my retainers, which means that I have reached the final destination of my Invisalign journey. And I have to tell you - I  am relieved that it is all done and over with. Compared to how excitingly I was raving about my Lasik experience, I am not happy with the Invisalign experience at all. 

2018 Monthly Challenge: February

Since my January 2018 challenge was somewhat of a flop, I decided to pick something easy for February. My February challenge was "No Booze" - kind of like the Dry January, except February has less days.

Invisalign: The Retainers

Hallelujah! I just picked up my retainers. I have been wearing the last set of my Invisalign aligners for literally two months, since my attachments were removed in December. They were in an awful shape. I was afraid that they were so loose from all the cracks and being chewed on - they were not supporting my teeth enough to prevent them from moving back to their original spots. So finally holding my retainers in my hot little hands was a cause for celebration. ;)  

2018 Monthly Challenge: January

The year of challenges and simplification has only started, but already proved to be a tough one for me. I have to admit - I did not do so well with my January challenge of getting rid of one thing a day every day of the month. While I did get rid of a couple of pairs of shoes, some clothing items, some duplicate kitchen utensils, a few beauty products, some purses and bags, etc., I stopped keeping track after about the 17th of the month, because I seriously have the hardest time getting rid of things just for the heck of getting rid of things. 

What to expect when you are getting ZOOM-ed

As I mentioned in my previous post, after having my Invisalign attachments removed, I opted for an in-office teeth whitening procedure Philips ZOOM!

Invisalign: Removal of the attachments

I have survived another appointment to have the attachments removed, to have my teeth cleaned and whitened. It took over 3 hours.
