Wow Dad This Father’s Day With The Smartest Toothbrush For Less #OralBFathersDay

This post is sponsored by Oral-B and I am working with their PR agency. As always, my words and views are 100% my own.

We do it every day, at least 2 or 3 times, and maybe more on some days. It becomes routine, something we don’t even think about really. We go through the motions and move on with our day or go right to bed afterward. Of course, I am talking about brushing our teeth. Are you happy with your toothbrush? I mean, really happy? Is it getting your teeth and gums as clean as they can be?

What if I told you about a better toothbrush? By better, I mean it is the smartest toothbrush on the block! The Oral-B GENIUS 8000 can be paired with your smartphone through the Oral-B App using Bluetooth technology. Brushing my teeth has never been so fun and effective!

The Oral-B GENIUS 8000 was designed to help you brush like your dentist recommends. When you pair it with your smartphone through the special Oral-B App, you can get customized, real-time feedback about your brushing habits. The Position Detection technology ensures you never miss a zone and the brush and app help make sure you brush for the recommended 2 minutes and include a pressure alert to protect your gums from over-brushing.

This toothbrush and its technology are beyond cool! I downloaded the free Oral-B App quickly through the App Store for my iPhone X, but it is also available for Android users through Google Play. Upon opening the App, I was able to easily personalize it for me, including selecting my favorite color LED light for the 360 SmartRing. When I brush using the App, it lets me know if I am missing any zone, so I can adjust my technique. My teeth and gums not only feel clean and fresh, I know they are!

The Oral-B GENIUS 8000 is compatible with all the Oral-B brush heads. There are 3 different heads in the package to get you started, along with a handy brush head holder that fits right on top of the charging base. Oral-B’s rounder brush heads, clean better so, you have cleaner, whiter teeth from the first time you use it! Equip with 6 brushing modes, the Oral-B GENIUS 8000 tackles all your oral care needs.

In addition, there is an awesome smart travel case with a smartphone holder and allows you to charge your toothbrush and smartphone, using only one outlet!

Charging is something you will be doing less, thanks to the Lithium ion battery that allows you to go 12 days between charges. The super strong smartphone mount has a suction base that locks the unit securely in place horizontally or vertically, so you can get the best angle for real time feedback on your brushing.

I look so forward to brushing my teeth now! It is no longer routine, and I am really enjoying the experience. My teeth feel amazing and I know that I am doing a great job because I have the feedback that assures me I am not forgetting any areas.

Check out my video of the Oral-B 8000 GENIUS below to learn more:

The Oral-B Genius 8000 makes a great gift especially with Father’s Day coming up! Today through 11:59 p.m. take advantage of the Amazon Deal of the Day on the Oral-B GENIUS 8000 – the smartest toothbrush around.

When In Berlin, Choose Speakeasy to Learn German

Do you want to learn a new language? Many people do, but don’t know where to start. If you are in Berlin, and looking to learn German, try Speakeasy’s German courses Berlin, Speakeasy is a language school that offers a variety of language courses. All of Speakeasy’s courses aim to let the student have fun while learning a new language.

Courses are taught in small classes of six to eight students by teachers who are native German speakers, and love teaching the language with all of its linguistic subtleties. All classes are taught in stylish, modern classrooms.

Classes are offered at various times throughout the day to fit your schedule. When you contact Speakeasy, they will help you take the next step toward learning a new language and enhancing your life. You will get expert support to help you find the right course to match your needs.

Starting a new course, especially one where you are learning a new language, can be intimidating. Speakeasy understands that, and wants to ease your fears. Their language school is oriented towards innovative learning concepts that will help you speak a new language fluently.

Check out the options below:

Intensive courses – the quickest and most efficient way to improve your German, these courses allow you to master a level – whether it’s A1, A2 or B1 – in two months over 48 teaching units. Structured in monthly sections, you can easily switch to a different course if you feel like you are up to a bit more (or less) of a challenge.
Super-intensive courses – are you looking to learn German super-fast? Or are you applying for a language course visa and need a course with at least 18 lesson hours per week? We’ve got you covered! The super-intensive courses combine intensive courses with a (light) evening schedule allow you to learn the language 30% faster than in the regular intensive courses.
Evening courses – if you work full-time this might be the ideal option for you. With our evening German courses Berlin’s busier folks can take 16 teaching units per month and complete a level in 4 months. Enjoy the extra benefit of being able to book your course weekly!
Individual courses – those of you with time-demanding job or study schedules know very well that it is a daunting task to commit to a fixed course plan. Have you ever thought of taking individual classes? The 10-hour package of speakeasy is both affordable and can be adapted on your personal needs and planning.

Maybe you are new to Berlin and are looking to learn real, current spoken German to fit in and speak like a local resident. If so, Speakeasy’s Conversational Classes are the perfect course for you!

No hidden fees, all costs included

Best of all, there are no hidden fees, all costs are included. What you see is what it is and unlike most other language schools, Speakeasy does not charge any registration fees.

Business Courses For Your Business:

Speakeasy will even send their instructors to your business with a customized curriculum to fit your needs.

What are you waiting for? Isn’t it time to get started? When in Berlin, learning German is as easy as Speakeasy!

This is a sponsored post. As always all views and words are 100% my own.

Cluttered Concerns – How A Messy Home Negatively Influences Your Life

A messy home can have a surprisingly negative affect on our mental health and wellbeing. From clutter and filth, to dust and decay, the consequences of mess go beyond aesthetics and can cause debilitating emotional, social and physical distress.

Nasty Surprises

One the the most obvious and disgusting outcomes of a messy home is that it is prone to attracting unwanted, pesky visitors, such as rodents, cockroaches, spiders and ants. These creatures are attracted to leftover food scraps, accumulated waste and other debris.

Piles of clothing and clutter also make excellent hiding spots for spiders. Species such as the much maligned white-tail spider are known to frequent clothing piles, and enjoy making their homes in your piled laundry.

For infestations of these pests, as well as mice, rats and roaches, it’s best to call in a pest control professional to locate the source of any nests and block any existing entry points. If you’re wanting to decrease the frequency of these infestations, it’s a good idea to practice better home hygiene, beginning with the kitchen.

Make sure to wash all soiled items after use, and wipe surfaces clean of crumbs and debris. Reseal used products and place them in the fridge or in a sealed cupboard. For bedrooms and bathrooms, store fabric items and clothing on hooks and hangers.

Metaphorical Mountains

Symbolism can be important when it comes to our emotional wellbeing, and you don’t have to look far in a messy home to find your first metaphor. If you’re the type of person who likes to collect mountains of stuff, or considers the floor an appropriate place to store clothing (ie; a floordrobe) it can be an indication of other emotional or physical issues which might be affecting you.

Cleaning and organising can seem both needlessly tiring and unnecessary at times, especially if you’re already stressed or tired. Unfortunately, the benefits of a clean house will be most obvious to you in those times of emotional distress, and can further impact your ability to pull yourself out of it.

To combat mess or clutter building up over time, set yourself small and completable tasks to complete every day which are non negotiable. For example, wiping down the bath or shower after using it, or cleaning the toilet every third day. By putting small and manageable routines into place, you can stop insurmountable or stress-creating mess from ever building up, and in turn give yourself a cleaner, healthier space to live in for those moments when you’re truly craving peace and clarity.

Visitors? No Thanks!

Another not-so-nice consequence of a messy home is its potential impact upon your social life. A messy home can create the inability to host guests in your home, resulting in a lack of social connection. For many people this can be isolating and lead to further stress and discomfort.

If you’re trying to create a neater, more easy to manage space in order to improve your social life, start gradually. A good place to begin is in the kitchen. A clean kitchen is a more inviting space to cook in, and it’s often a hub of activity and social happenings within a house. Regularly clean your stove, cooking utensils and dishware. By doing so you’ll always have clean dinner dishes and cups for tea and coffee in the event of guests.

Once you’ve made an effort to clean your kitchen, try to organize your living and dining space into a more social-friendly space. Create an area with clustered chairs so that it’s inviting for guests to sit at. From there, move gradually to cleaning the bathroom, any outdoor areas, and then bedrooms.

Reforming a messy house into a more manageable and liveable environment will have positive emotional and social outcomes for you and your family. By starting slow and engaging professionals where necessary, you can regain control over your house and your clutter – one small step at a time.

Pup Star World Tour Recipe Contest- Chinese Almond Cookies

We were thrilled to take part in the Pup Star World Tour Cuisine Contest to celebrate the release of Pup Star: World Tour on Netflix and Digital HD May 5th. Air Bud Entertainment’s PUP STAR is back, with an all-new movie that takes the popular singing dogs on trip around the world, where Tiny and friends find fantastic new songs and meet exciting new canine singers that prove music really is the universal language!

If you missed our video we made of our unboxing of the great Pup Star: World Tour Suitcase Goodie Box we received, you can check it out below:

In that box we found a recipe booklet filled with fun human recipes we could make to enjoy while we watch Pup Star: World Tour on Netflix. We just love all the Air Bud and Air Buddies movies, so we were super excited to make Chinese Almond Cookies and share them with you.

Check out our recipe tutorial video below for step by step instructions on how to make these great cookies.

We altered the recipe a little because it mentioned baking soda but there was no baking soda in the recipe and so I added 1.5 tsp. We also found that 1 cup of sliced almonds was much more than what is needed. A half cup of sliced almonds is more than enough. You can find the recipe with my tweaks below.
