I received LISTERINE® Brand products and a Walgreens gift card from Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Products Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc. and The Motherhood as part of my participation in the LISTERINE® 21-Day Challenge. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this post are my own.
We have all heard expressions about smiling. My favorite is “Be the reason someone smiles today.” Our smiles are connected to our mouths and here is a jaw dropping statistic. Did you know that brushing misses 75% of your mouth? Did that gross you out too? Thinking about all that is lurking in my mouth after I brush makes me cringe and shiver at the same time. ICK! Also, scientists have found more than 700 different types of bacteria in our mouths. It’s time to enroll in the Listerine 21 Day Challenge!
This month I am excited to participate in a 21 Day Challenge and I would love for you to join me! What’s the challenge? It’s easy peasy – I promise. For the next 21 days I am committing to RINSING both morning and night. I mean, that’s like 60 seconds in the morning and 60 seconds at bed time. Surely we have 2 minutes a day that we can dedicate to good oral health?
It’s gets better! By signing up for the 21 Day Challenge and sticking with your rinsing routine, you will have a daily opportunity to instantly win exciting prizes, including a Fitbit®, a $100 Container Store® Gift Card or an Amazon Fire TV! For every seven consecutive days you swish, you’ll be entered into one of the sweepstakes drawings for a grand prize. I know I haven’t told you all how much I love my Fitbit, but it’s one of my favorite things. If I was Oprah I would give them away to everyone in the audience. My husband and I are constantly trying to beat each other’s Fitbit step counts during the week.
This year I have made several commitments to my health. The first is to walk 10,000 steps per day (as measured by my Fitbit). Next, I need to be better about drinking water throughout the day instead of cramming it in at the end of the night (and then waking up a million times to use the bathroom each night). Now, I am committing to better oral health by rinsing my mouth in the morning too! I am going to update my girls’ chore/responsibility charts to include RINSING in the morning too so they can have the best smelling breath and healthiest mouths in their classes.
Did you know this responsibility chart made our mornings so much easier? My girls know what is expected of them in the mornings and there is no more arguing. I believe sharing is caring, so click the link or image above and you can download our chore chart to use at your house. This is a free printable that many people have had success using. I love when people email me their testimonials!
Listerine has products for the ENTIRE FAMILY that will help make this challenge a breeze for everyone in your house. Being a parent means we are trying to avoid those dreaded dentist bills for cavities. Preventing them with brushing and rinsing makes cents. You can find Listerine products at Walgreens, among other stores too!
As a child growing up we didn’t have health insurance and the dentist was a luxury that we couldn’t afford. That is a daily reality for many people. By taking care of our mouths RIGHT NOW was are helping our futures. No cavities means no expensive repair bills. Maintenance is better than unexpected repairs any day of the week!
It only takes 3 weeks to form a habit. Join me in starting a new habit and killing 99.9% of germs in your mouth when you add rinsing with brushing!
What do you say, will you sign up and join me in this practical and necessary 21 day challenge?
