Power White with Luster Premium White Toothpaste
LUSTER POWER WHITE DEEP STAIN ERASER® FLOURIDE TOOTHPASTE
by Pamela Anderson
Luster Premium White offers a full range of professional-grade at-home teeth whitening products, including daily maintenance.
Luster White is manufactured and marketed by French Transit, Ltd. The brand was founded in 2007 by dental professionals whose first concern was the development of a whitening product without harmful side effects. The product line offers intense whitening kits, daily whitening kinds of toothpaste, and instant whitening mouth rinses and toothpaste. The brand has received numerous awards, including the Women’s Choice Award® for 9 out of 10 Customer-Recommended Teeth Whitening Kits and Toothpaste’s, Allure’s Beauty Breakthrough Award and the Real Simple Best Whitening Toothpaste Award.
- Rinse your mouth with water right after drinking your morning latte or chai so the pigments don’t sit on your teeth for hours. Did you know that tea in particular contains tannic acid that makes tooth enamel more porous and thus prone to staining? (Better yet, brush your teeth immediately.)
- Use a straw – it’s a simple way to drink your coffee without it getting on your teeth
- And to eliminate stains that are already present: change your daily toothpaste to a whitening formula that contains fluoride. That way, you’ll remove stains while still getting the oral care benefits of a traditional dentifrice. One to try: Luster’s Power White Deep Stain Eraser® Fluoride
Toothpaste, a two-in-one whitening toothpaste that cleans and freshens breath with zero tooth sensitivity. It removes up to 95% of surface stains in only 5 days for a 2X whiter, brighter smile than the leading brand. The enamel-safe, sulfate free formula is the only toothpaste on the market containing 2% stabilized peroxide. 
Hey Do You was recently given the opportunity to review this two-in-one toothpaste while I was visiting my son and daughter-in-love, Ms. Yvonne Kai, the founder of Hey Do You. I immediately volunteered to test the claim that this Luster White toothpaste will remove up to 95% of surface stains in just five days. The market for whitening products has grown greatly and it can be daunting standing in the toothpaste aisle trying to find the whitening product that is best for you. I drink hot black tea every day, all day, and it’s always difficult to keep my teeth sparkly white between cleanings. I’m constantly trying and discarding kinds of toothpaste and whitening products that are mediocre.
I’ve learned over time that the key is daily maintenance. Flossing is a must, as is brushing thoroughly two to three times daily with a toothpaste that both whitens and protects my gums and enamel. I’m happy to report that Luster Power White Deep Stain Eraser Fluoride Toothpaste® stands up to its claims!
Here’s why you should try it:
- The toothpaste was formulated by dentists using 2% stabilized hydrogen peroxide for safe and effective whitening beneath the tooth’s surface. This means fast whitening and the lifting of deep stains from continuous consumption of coffee, tea, wine or mere aging.
- It contains fluoride so it is a two-in-one product in a single tube.
- The ingredients cause zero tooth sensitivity.
- The price is extremely affordable for daily oral hygiene care at an SRP of just $6.99 for a 4-oz. tube.
- Luster White products are for use by adults and children 12 and older.
- BONUS! It also tastes great, leaving my mouth feeling fresh and clean, which is not always the case with toothpaste whiteners.
If you’re looking for a new toothpaste for your daily maintenance, take the five-day challenge yourself with Luster Power White Deep Stain Eraser Fluoride Toothpaste®! It’s available on the shelf at your local Walgreens or at Walgreens.com. To learn more about all of Luster Premium White products, find a retailer or purchase directly from the manufacturer, visit www.lusterpremiumwhite.com.
- Rinse your mouth with water right after drinking your morning latte or chai so the pigments don’t sit on your teeth for hours. Did you know that tea in particular contains tannic acid that makes tooth enamel more porous and thus prone to staining? (Better yet, brush your teeth immediately.)

You will get to learn all about the show and beauty trends by following my social media and checking for my Cosmoprof posts! Here are seven reasons why you should (and I am) visiting Comsoprof Asia in Hong Kong.
The 22nd edition Cosmoprof Asia will continue the successful formula of “1 Fair, 2 Venues”, occupying two locations: AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE) from 14 to 16 November and the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from 15 to 17 November.

#7: Over 22 Countries of Beauty! Each country will have a pavilion at Cosmoprof representing the best in innovation, technology, formula, packaging and more. I can’t say which one is my favorite just yet, but I do love the Latvian design sensibility, the OEM packaging that is now synonymous with K-Beauty and the Polish formulation superstars like that of Inglot. 23 Country & Group Pavilions: Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, California, China, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, UK, USA
#6: Focus on Bath and Body I know you know that I love color cosmetics and have been collecting for over 2 decades now but since 3 years ago when I started my own soap company, I have had an increased interest in this sector. Lush can’t be the only player in town right? I am looking forward to “CosmoLab”: the multisensorial laboratory located inside thematic zone Ingredients & Lab! CosmoLab will show the production and technology of how a bath fizzer is made. The bath fizzers produced will be distributed to attendees. Woohoo!
#5: Light Powder Factory Highlighter has been all the rage in the US but did you know that the glowy ‘gwang’ look is so popular in Asia too? Light up your journey at Cosmoprof Asia by getting exclusive highlighting powder at the “LIGHT POWDER EXPERIENCE” booth. I will definitely try to get all 4 highlighting palettes, especially designed for the show to light up your beauty. *kira kira* time!
#4: Lan Vu The founder of Beautystreams and trend expert, I love Lan and look forward to hearing her ‘Cosmotalks’. The beauty industry is fascinating and I admire the focus she picked to specialize in. I will report back what prestigious beauty industry experts predict to be the key concepts, colors, and textures emerging throughout Asia.
#3: WGSN The best way to predict the future is to create it. So excited that Theresa Yee of WGSN will be sharing what 2019 looks like in the world of beauty based on global trends. From supply chain to manufacturing to every single step from concept to your face is impacted by global beauty trends. The insider information from this Cosmotalks will be so worth it! If you are blogger/trend consulting/marketing/product developer/millennial entrepreneur – You need to be there!
#2. Networking I will make sure I have plenty of business cards ready for my trip! This is one serious networking event and with so many international visitors, you never know who you might meet. It is really an art to be able to pitch yourself in 15 seconds and remember to follow up with everyone you meet. If you see me, please say hi!
#1: Hong Kong One of the best reasons to visit is because it is in that amazing city of Hong Kong! I am looking forward to checking out the super trendy haircuts, fashion, sensibility, fresh mango mochi, and visiting with old friends and making new ones!

How to Cut Down A Tree In Your Garden Safely
Introduction
Cutting down a tree sometimes is a sad thing. I still remember when my family decides to chop down the big old poplar we used to play around when we were kids. However, when uprooted or collapse in natural disasters, the big guys may pose some threats to our loving house and family.
Therefore, we should learn how to cut it down safely when the tree is more dangerous than beneficial. Prepare yourself so we can start!
Equip Yourself with a Proper Safety Gear
Cutting trees down is more dangerous than it may seem. Remember, you are working with an object of hundreds of kilograms, and a running chainsaw. One mistake can cause you injuries or even more severe consequences.
©forestershop.com An appropriate safety gear includes:
– A logger’s helmet. You will need it to prevent your head from hitting falling branches. They may look small when you see from afar, but a direct hit may send you into a coma.
– Earmuffs and protecting goggles to protect your eyes and ears
– Kevlar chaps for chainsaw usage. So in case you happen to drop the machine on your leg, it will be stopped instantly
Grab Some Felling Wedges
©Youtube Without the useful tools, you will find your chained pinched while cutting.
Estimate the Felling Zones
You cannot get the right height of the tree just with eyes. However, you can estimate the approximate measurement by the simple trick.
Hold an ax right straight from your chest at an arm’s length. Close one eye, and step back when you see the treetop is even with the ax top and the root with the tool’s bottom. Where you are standing will be where the treetop lays when it falls. Spare some extra space from the spot, and you can call it the safety felling zones.
Besides, you should also create two more alternative routes in the non-falling zones in case some unexpected situations happen. Each one should be 45 degrees apart. If you don’t feel confident, there is the option for tree removal by certified professionals in CA.
Cut the First Notch
Make the cutting done with a chainsaw. However, the machine is often not used frequently, so if the blade is dull, you should seek a high-quality chainsaw sharpener.
The first cut should be big enough, so it goes further than half of the tree’s diameter. You should make the notch from the direction to which you want the tree to fall. In most cases, the tree will fall right to where you want to if you do the step right.
Even though the first cut is nearly fool-proof, you should mind your hand not to let it go too far. Otherwise, the tree may fall to wrong directions or, the worst, on your body.
Make the Felling Notch
Go to the opposite side of the big groove, and make the ultimate cut. When the chain gets close, the tree will start leaning to the planned direction.
If you want to be more careful, you should tie a rope to the top of the tree.
Cutting the Log into Firewood
©thistledog.wordpress.com Turning the tree into something useful is a way to respect the nature after you have cut it down. You can make a bench from it, but in the article, we can only show you how to make firewood from the log
Separate the Log
Firstly, use the chainsaw to remove all the branches from your log. Secure the trunk so it will not move when the machine is running. You should estimate to cut it into 16-inch length, which is suitable for most woodstoves or traditional fireplace.
Then, make some shallow cut into the log, each 16 inches apart to mark where the chain will go down.
Don’t try to cut the log by only one move, because your chain may hit rocks or dirt under the wood. Cut three quarters through the trunk first, then roll it over and get the job done. If your chain hit things by accident and become dull, you should find a high-quality chainsaw sharpener.
Splitting into Firewood
The right tool for the task is a good splitting maul. It looks somehow like an ax or a sledgehammer. The tool comes in a wide range of size, but you should choose one that is suitable for your physical features. A too large maul will hinder your movements and cause you a backache.
Put the tip of the maul on top of the log and stand securely with your feet spreading shoulders’-width. Raise the tool over your head, and slam it down onto the wood at the center. After that, you may consider splitting the log halves into quarters or leave them as the whole.
Conclusion
Cutting down a tree is a hard and dangerous task, but when you know what you are doing, it will be less threatening. The tips are getting yourself prepared and having the right tools.
If you love gardening and have something to share with us, leave it here so everyone can hear your voice. You opinions are welcome in every topic.
