A few weeks ago I took a leap of faith and made a big investment in my future. I officially became a LuLaRoe Fashion Consultant, running my own clothing boutique. In the past week since I received my initial inventory, I have had an incredible time helping other women find clothes that will not only fit them, but make the feel like a million bucks.

It took a lot for me to get to the point where I was confident enough to take a step like this into a very public business. A business where my appearance would have a lot to do with my success in this particular business and where I would need to interact with others on a daily basis. I have not always been a confident woman. I was in a less than ideal marriage when I was just 17 year's old. I have suffered with body image issues my whole life, and LuLaRoe's clothing is the first thing that really pulled me out of my shell and make me more confident in my own skin and how I dress it.


Another part of my life where I have not been so confident was with my oral health. Even though I follow a twice daily oral health routine that includes brushing and flossing, five pregnancies and other factors have taken a toll on my gums and it has made me feel less than confident about my smile. I am not alone in this thinking either. Did you know that 7 in 10 Americans believe that having an unhealthy mouth can affect your confidence in giving a speech. Most Americans also believe that poor oral health can have a negative impact on your ability to be promoted. Who wants that?


Not me, that's why I continue to follow my LISTERINE® oral health care plan that includes brushing twice daily and also rinsing twice daily with a mouthwash. Just brushing can miss 75% of germs in your mouth, which rinsing with a mouthwash like LISTERINE® Antiseptic can clean virtually 100% of your mouth! LISTERINE® carries a full line of oral care products including mouthwash products for children, Zero alcohol mouthwash and floss for an all around fresh clean. I know I feel my most confident and ready to meet potential customers when my mouth is feeling fresh and clean.


LISTERINE® Twitter Party

Nearly half (47.2%) of Americans over the age of 30 suffer from some form of gum disease and while more than 8 in 10 people believe they have a healthy mouth (83%)1, the truth is that
nearly all Americans suffer from some form of oral disease. Want to learn how to prevent gum disease and have a healthier smile while helping those in need? Tune into the LISTERINE® brand Twitter party hosted by the Motherhood on Tuesday October 27, at 12pm EST. Every time the #LISTERINE hashtag is used either during the party or other social media promotion, it will trigger a $10 donation up to $40,000 to support Oral Health America's Fall for Smiles Campaign.
