Invisalign: The clear alternative to metal braces!

* This is a sponsored post on behalf of SITS girls for Invisalign. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Remember the days when metal braces were considered cool? Oh wait, neither do I! I guess it was cool to change out the color of your braces, colors like neon pink and green were always the go to choices in the 80's and early 90's. But having a mouth full of metal, all of the torture of frequent office visits and tightening of your braces are not on the top of anyone's fun list.

Years ago metal braces were just the way it was if you wanted straight teeth, there was no other option. But technology is changing and always advancing, now there is a clear alternative to metal braces with Invisalign. Invisalign is a custome-made series of aligner trays that are made of smooth, comfortable and almost invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth to slowly straighten them. They are perfect for pre-teens, teens and adults! Not only are they almost invincible but gone are the days of eating restrictions because you have braces, you get to take out your "braces" while you eat. Did I just say you can remove your braces? Yes I did!


Here is an example of the Invisalign!

You might be thinking, this can't be as effective as metal braces for my teen, or that you are too old for braces yourself. That is simply not true, Invisilign the perfect alternative for adults and teens. With Invisalign Teen, you or your teen will have the self confidence to smile while your teeth are being straightened and nobody even knows it! Another plus to Invisalign is that the cost of clear braces is comparable to the cost of metal braces, I am pretty sure that most teens (or adults) would opt for the clear alternative to braces. Right?

My six year old and I enjoying the sunshine!
I know that my children will most likely need braces in the near future, my husband never needed them, he was blessed with straight teeth. I on the other hand, not so much. Braces were a part of my life and they were not fun. You better believe that I will be getting Invisalign for my children when they need them! The dentist has already told us that our 6 year old will be needing them in the future. Great. We better start saving our pennies now!

Want to know if you or your teen is a candidate for Invisalign? It is simple, you can take a Smile Assessment and find out!


Have you or someone you’ve known used Invisalign? If so, what was their experience?

Mother's Day Tea Party with Bigelow Tea #AmericasTea

My Mother's Day gift basket full of Bigelow Tea items.


For Mother’s Day as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias®  I had a Tea Party on the patio with my son enjoying Bigelow Tea. I created a drink recipe with Blueberry Bigelow Tea and blueberry lemonade.

Tea parties are not just for girls! My son and I love to have tea parties together. If its just water and the make believe type of tea party or a real party with tea and cookies I love the time we spend together. For Mother's Day we decided to have a real tea party on the patio among our growing plants. First we went to Walmart to buy all the items we needed for our party. We bought lots of Bigelow Tea, sweet treats, tea drinking items and lots of presents for me for Mother's Day.

I have read about the Bigelow Half Tea Half Lemonade drink and decided I wanted to make my own homemade version. I purchased Blueberry tea and a blueberry lemonade to make a delicious Blueberry Tea Lemonade drink to enjoy at our tea party.



I gently brewed 3 blueberry tea bags into a half gallon of water and added half the container of blueberry lemonade once the tea cooled. Soooooo good! 




For our main tea drink for our tea party my son selected Orange tea. I added a few slices of oranges to the tea for added flavor. My son ate a few slices before they made it to the tea pitcher, I love that about cooking with him, he will try all the ingredients like a true chef would :)




Now that I have my Mother's Day gift basket filled with Bigelow tea I can replace my winter teas with more light spring and summer teas in the tea drawer. I do always have to have Apple Cider tea all year long. Its delicious! Not only does Bigelow tea taste great I select this brand since they are a company that practices being green to protect the environment and has a land preservation program that saves valuable land from development. Bigelow Tea also achieved a Zero Waste company status. I was excited to see that, this means only 10% of there production items make it to the landfill. Other items are recycled or composted. I love the idea of that!  Also Bigelow tea bags are not bleached like some other brands. Overall I like that Bigelow Tea is a company that cares! 




My son and I have made Orange tea to serve with lemon cookies and chocolate covered dried fruit and the blueberry tea lemonade. My son could not wait for me to take a picture to try the blueberry drink. He placed a crazy straw in and drank half of it so quick! He loves it and so do I. 



Now that we have all our tea party items made we headed to the patio to enjoy it. We recently moved from a house to a condo. Our house had a huge backyard with many garden beds. We have made created great memories gardening and wanted to still enjoy it while living in a temporary situation. He even picked out a strawberry plant as a Mother's Day gift for me. Our garden right now may be small but we still have so much fun spending time planting and harvesting, its priceless. 





I asked my son which of his stuffed animals did he want to join our tea party and he told me this is just a Mommy and Baby tea party. Too cute! 



I love spending anytime I can with my son. I work full time outside the home and did not realize how precious each second we spend together really is. Doing things like having a Mother's Day tea party creates memories and bonding time with my son that is precious to me. After we enjoyed our tea and cookies we sat together on the couch to watch a professional bull riding competition and then Tiger Woods play golf. It was a wonderful way to spend the day with my son.
