I remember being a teenager and the dentist saying that I didn’t need braces. I could get them if I wanted straight teeth, but it wasn’t a necessity. I looked at my Mom, said Nope, and merrily went on my way!
Fast forward about 30 years. I’m looking at a growing task of creating videos. Ok, I can get ok with that. I’m fairly comfortable with my imperfections. Then my kiddo was watching the screen, glances at my face, and asks if I am missing a tooth!
I am actually missing a tooth. It was a root canal gone wrong. But it is a molar in the back, hard to notice. Nope, this kiddo thought a crooked tooth in the front was missing from the shadows in the video. *Gulp* Well, I don’t want to look like I’m missing a tooth in the front!
I hopped on the orthodontist website and started scrolling. Ugh, I’m only about 60 to 70% on board with this. Google noticed that I was thinking about teeth and sent me some alternatives. Today my $14.95 tooth impression kit came from Byte. They have real dental people. I would wear retainer things at night while I sleep and hopefully have straight teeth in five months. I am sending the impression kit back tomorrow, then I’ll get my customized plan. So, I’ll keep y’all posted. They do work with insurance companies and are supposed to be thousands cheaper. We’ll see.
With this new dissection of my video appearance, I’ve also been wondering about some eyelash assistance. I do have a new lash oil blend to try. I put that on for the first time last night. Beyond that, I’ve been wondering about the lashes that people glue on. I’ve watched my girls try different ones and I’ve been on the fence. This morning a coupon site I watch featured a flash sale of a professional kit. I read the reviews and ratings. And for the sale price, I ordered it. In the meantime, I’ve been playing with SnapChat filters to see what I think. Very scientific research! 😆
Tonight I am thankful for the available visual aids that are available at a good price thanks to the good ole’ internet! I am still very comfortable in my own skin. I could not do these things and be ok. So, if I don’t like them, I’m good! In the meantime, I’ll give them a try and report back! 🧐
