DIY trial - teeth bleaching!

älo!

So..honestly I didn't feel like doing anything productive today..

It's one of those lazy days hehehe.

But I suddenly remembered about the most common home teeth bleaching methods I came across a lot in YouTube..

..and also when a blogger friend updated her Instagram on trying it out few weeks back.
So since I have got nothing important to do today..
Why not try it out too,no? :]




Googled the things that I need..Just in case I forgot few things.
I also came across a same method using bicarbonate soda; but instead of using water, the person uses lemon.

Anyhoo,

That is pretty much what you'll need. 

Pour out the powder as much as you think that you'll need..

..and mix it with water - to make a paste out of the bicarbonate soda. 

Simple as that, yes!

So here's what you need to know before actually trying it out.

- Bicarbonate soda is the same as baking powder.

- You'll feel a tingling sensation / slight "burning" feel if it touches your lips or any other area besides your teeth!

- I am not sure myself whether it really works, so there!

- This method, apparently can cause some side effects if done too often, so this is definitely not a daily sort of thing to do!

- You can get bicarbonate sodas at your local grocery store, if not the bakery ingredients suppliers shop. 

Mmmmkays, 

so here's my personal opinion after trying it out..

I was typically scared and nervous when I felt the "burning" when the paste touches my lips hahaha. 

I almost didn't wanna continue but I did it anyways :P

Don't worry, it is normal (the tingling burning feeling thing haha) just rub it off it you can't stand it. 

I actually at first tried using a toothbrush to apply it on my teeth..

But again, being the typical me, I was too scared about getting it on my gums and lips..

So I applied it using cotton buds/Qtips instead.:D

Made applying it so much easier, I would say!

..and don't forget to wash it off after leaving it on for 1-2 minutes!

Just gargle and spit it out.

hahahaha:p

Your question?

Does it really work?

I am not sure myself, I'm sorry :3

My teeth did not appear a lot whiter, but I think it looked a bit more cleaner lolololol.XD

Maybe...

It takes few times to actually have obvious result?

Definitely trying it again within this week. :D

Have any of you tried this?

Do comment & let me know!

I am currently trying another DIY method for armpit whitening too!

It's amusing to know that there are a lot of DIY methods that you can actually try at home with simple easy-to-get things!:) 

Blog again soon!

Let's - Do It Yourself!

Hi!

I have been quite productive for the past few days.. I need to stay that way forever. 

I had in mind last week to actually start on some DIYs cuz I used to love them so much. Looking through photos and videos of people making DIY projects makes me ohh wanna do it too! I wanted to make some bracelets as a start cuz it's not easy to get hold of fancy accessories that I am looking for here in Miri..You know.

My cousins came over to our place last Sunday so I made them join me too.

One of my cousins love S&S's headbands but her mother got her some DIY stuff for her to make some herself instead of getting her the S&S headbands itself hahahahaha

But look how pretty it turned out! Headbands are obviously inspired by S&S ;) 

I didn't make those tho. Teeeheee. I'm not a fan of making them myself YET.:P But I personally LOVE the orange one!

I made some cute little "friendship bracelets" :D

I had very limited supplies cuz it's not easy to look for stuff here in Miri..So I really had to work with whatever I can have..

The small ones (purple & orange) are the ones I did on my first day. I like how it turned out to be, although I wish they have bigger ones :| The neon pink and yellow is all messy that I took out the yellow and left the neon pink :D

Of course I got all excited right, after I saw the end result..so both the bestie & I went hunting for some DIY things or whatever that we can use to make our bracelets pretty & boy! Look at what we found!:D

Charmmmmmssss! You have no idea how much I love charms! Haha. We were so happy that we could choose although it's a bit pricey; they're 5bucks each :| Can you guess which ones are mine?:D 

I chose charms that are significant to me & my life..;)

Tadaaah! I can haz self made charm bracelet now which I can easily change later on if I'm bored with the current neon pink bracelet ;)

 

Some of you asked me on Instagram where did I get those stuff in Miri..

Sadly I did not take any photo of the place but I will now describe it to you. (HAHA)

*Note that I am reaaaaly bad with roads/junctions.

It's a store called "Dragon Store" mmkays maybe not dragon store but it has the name dragon on it.:P

It's somewhere near centre point area / pelita / tamu muhibbah; next to Park Hotel. 

I honestly don't know how to describe it specifically, but you could look around & search:D 

 It looks very uhh dodgy & old, but they kinda have some cool stuff there if you really be all creative and imagine how you can work with the stuff they have. Plus, you need to be patient cuz the shop is sooo not organized. 

I bought everything there, from the strings, the bracelets, the charms..all of them. 

So hard to look for cheaper ones here; but do let me know if you know any!;)

Those headbands stuff we didn't get it here, but I think you can easily get them at the same store as well, but of course it'll cost more. 

Miri needs an awesome DIY shop that sells CHEAP & affordable DIY stuff! 

So there! That's what I did during the weekends! 

What have you been up to?;)

P/s: Took few photos of my OOTD today; I shall blog about it separately.
