Speaking of staying cozy... this weather makes me want to curl up with some soup. Here are a few spots I love:
The Workman’s Friend | The tomato soup is a classic — especially when paired with their grilled cheese.
🦷 A water flosser that’s three times more effective than traditional flossing.
🪥 This probiotic mouthwash that balances your oral microbiome + provides long-lasting freshness and enamel care.
🦷 A top-rated electric toothbrush with five brushing modes to remove 10 times more plaque than a traditional toothbrush.
🪥 Crest’s Sensitivity Relief toothpaste that restores gum health while providing rapid sensitivity relief for up to 24 hours.
🦷 A teeth whitening pen that removes years of stains + delivers results in as little as 10 minutes.
I don’t plan on leaving the house this weekend. When the weather is too cold or rainy, you’ll likely catch me sitting by the fire with an oversized blanket, hot chocolate, my dogs nearby, and a sitcom or “Critical Role” playing in the background. Stay safe and warm, everyone! Plus, if you take any cool pictures this weekend, I’d love to see them.
