Invisalign: Week 16

It's hard to believe that it's the end of another school year and Summer 2019 is upon us! Time is passing by at lightning speed! This week Mia wraps up second grade and Gianna will say goodbye to elementary school! I have never been more scared in my life! Middle school is a frightening place and tweens who eventually morph into teenagers are an evil species. Pray for me now! I am on week 16 of my Invisalign journey! I'm still in disbelief. I never really thought I would take the plunge and correct something that has always made me self ...

Matilda

I have been so wrapped up with clients and social media blogging, that I hardly ever have time to write.  I promised myself that I would only engage on my blog when I was feeling inspired or really felt compelled to share an amazing piece.  As a reminder, all of my daily looks can be found on the shop my looks tab and I update my Amazon finds almost weekly! This weekend, however, was one for the books, and my emotions are in overdrive.  If you have been following me since the beginning, then you know my oldest daughter Gianna (the non ...

Invisalign: Month 3

What a busy and blessed weekend celebrating our baby Mia Rose.  It was so nice to be surrounded by our family and closest friends to witness her first Holy Communion.  She looked like a princess.  At the reception, a few of my guests saw me taking out my Invisalign to eat.  They were dumbfounded!  They had no idea that I even had braces.  My cousin replied, "Now I truly understand where the Invisalign name originated.  They certainly are invisible!" Sometimes, I still get a little insecure smiling because I am not sure what others see.  ...

Freezing a Moment

I barely have time to write anymore.  Between the chaos of being a mom, styling, and tending to the daily chores, blogging has taken a backseat.  After receiving the final images from some of my recent clients, however, I felt inspired to share! It's no secret that I love photographs.  Most of my family and friends, however, shy away from the camera and rarely jump in a picture.  When I look back through old snapshots, it makes me sad to see minimal photographs showcasing my loved ones.  In years to come, these 4x6 glossy images will be the ...

Invisalign- Month 2

I can't believe I completed 2 months already.  Time is flying by.  With every passing day, the aligners feel more natural and I often forget they are even in my mouth!  Honestly, I have become so reliant on them that my mouth now feels more comfortable with them in.  If you told me that week 1, I would have scoffed in your face! It's still a little early to see significant changes, but I can feel a difference. I even see slight improvement on the top.  My bottom teeth still have a way to go, but the end seems more attainable thanks to ...

Invisalign- Month 1

I made it through the first month!  The first week was touch and go.  On numerous occasions, I threatened to throw my Invisalign out the window and call it a day.  If I didn't have septic, they would have been flushed down the toilet on day 2.  It was definitely an adjustment!  Their was a lot of pain, tightness, and an overall feeling of mouth suffocation, but it gradually subsided.  Overly dramatic (maybe), but honest. I am so glad, however, that I fought through the uncomfortable sensations and gave Invisalign a chance.  Each day gets ...
