My Oral-B Power Challenge - The Results

As you all might know, about a month ago I started the Oral-B Power challenge. This meant using their PC500 Power Electric Tooth Brush for 30 days instead of my ordinary manual toothbrush, to see if it could convert me, to using an electric toothbrush forever.


So one month has passed already (doesn't the time fly?) and the results are in! I thought I'd share my review with you all in a quick video. Apologies in advance for the bad lighting etc. I filmed this late at night after work so unfortunately I am not looking the flashiest.....


Haha I am such a disaster on video! Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this review and little video and I definitely think that I'm converted to the electric toothbrush going forward :)

Invisible for Black & White

To celebrate the launch of NIVEA’s innovative new Invisible for Black and White Deodorant, they have teamed with leading online fashion retailer ASOS to create a limited edition capsule collection of high fashion dresses, exclusively available to win online!

The competition runs from today until 31st May, with 50 lucky competition winners receiving the exclusive range each week, courtesy of NIVEA and ASOS.

The four-piece monochrome collection gives minimal silhouettes for maximum effect, with clean cuts and precision pleats appearing across 2 ‘60s style shifts, a midi-length sheer- waisted dress and a full skater skirt dress. As every fashionable wardrobe testifies, the Little Black Dress (LBD) is a stylish staple. In contrast to the season’s bold brights, white is also back in the spotlight, making the LWD just as important as its counterpart – dominating the summer minimalist trend.

My favourite two pieces of the collection are:

♥ Left - The Skater Girl Dress: 

"As seen on the Victoria Beckham and Narcisco Rodriguez S/S'11 catwalks, the skater skirt dress is summers easiest shape to wear. This dress comes complete with capped sleeves and chic slit at the decolletage to add a sassy vibe. Wear with chic flats for a garden party and add a colour pop heel for evening cocktails – what' not to love?"

♥ Right - The Forever Dress

"There's nothing more classic than a Little Black Dress to add to your wardrobe, it's the most versatile piece you'll ever invest in. This sleeveless version will become your go-to summer piece come day or evening. We love the A-line shape of this one – wear with sky-high heels and bright accessories to be the envy of the party."

So you now have the opportunity to WIN one of these dresses from the timeless Black & White collection. 

And it's soooo simple:

♥ Four styles - 50 lucky winners each week!

I have already entered several times, hehe, here's to hoping I win one of the dresses or maybe even the whole collection? ;) Check out some of my picks from playing with the accessories online:

The white skater girl dress is so cute and stylish, I want I want....FINGERS CROSSED!

Thanks Nivea for giving me the opportunity to win one of these cool dresses.
I'm quite interested in trying out their new Invisible for Black and White Deodorant too! Because it promises "protection against white and yellow deodorant stains. Plus as well as white marks on black clothes becoming a thing of the past, their technology helps prevent the yellow stains that develop over time due to a mixture of deodorant, sweat and washing powder – amazing!" Sounds good, gotta hate white marks or yellow stains, yuck!

So come on, what are you waiting for......enter this fun competion :) I know I have and will enter a few more times; the more entries the more chance of winning right? GOOD LUCK to everyone xoxo

My Oral-B Power Challenge

Hi Girls!
Starting today I will be taking part in the Power Oral-B Challenge! I got chosen to trail the PC500 Power Brush for one month to see if it can convert me, to using a power toothbrush over a manual one, forever. Late last week I received my Oral-B ‘Britain’s Brush Box’ which included the Oral-B PC500 Toothbrush, a Union Jack Washbag, a Best of British Trivia Game and a blue hand towel. Merci Oral- B ♥ 

Apparently power brushes are proven to remove twice as much plaque compared to a manual toothbrush and 9 out of 10 people who have tried a power toothbrush would not want to go back to a manual one!
Oral-B ambassador and dentist Dr. James Russell believes that after a month of using this toothbrush I should really feel that my teeth are cleaner and see that they are whiter than they were before. 

To help me along the way in my challenge Dr. James Russell provided me with some handy tips:

♥ Floss: I must floss once a day to achieve optimum oral health

♥ Brush: I must brush twice a day for 2 minutes! Luckily Oral-B Professional Care 500 toothbrush comes with a clever little timer so help me with that.

♥ Curb Snacking: Watch the kinds of snack I consume. I should stick to foods like cheese, raw vegetables, nuts and breadsticks which are better for my teeth..(as apposed to chocolate and crisps I imagine! Gosh another reason not to have them haha)

♥ Avoid: Fizzy drinks, as they're very sugary and acidic and erode tooth enamel. (ummm not sure I will be giving up my Diet Coke anytime soon, sorry Dr Russell!)

So after buying a shaving power adapter, because my bathroom doesn't have that kind of plug, my power toothbrush is now ready and fully charged to be used! I will loyally use it or one month and will report back at the end of the challenge to let you know how I got on and give you my verdict! Also if you'd like to join me in this challenge, as part of National Smile Monh, the Oral-B 500 will be available at half price in the UK between March and May for only £22.50 at all major retailers.

Get set, ready.....GO! Let the challenge begin...
