We all have that one thing we said as a kid we would do differently "once we grew up."  Mine was always to have the perfect smile.  We didn't quite have the money for braces when I was a kid, so I knew my first goal, as an adult out on her own, was going to be having the perfect smile.  Of course, after getting my very first BIG GIRL job, I made sure to straighten that smile up, but there was still something off.  #CrestPartner

One of the things they don't tell you about adulting is you may find yourself tired very often because those big checks you dreamed of sometimes come with late nights, and lots of coffee.  Yes, coffee, your best friend when you need to pull an all-nighter, or to make it through your morning meetings, but also your biggest enemy of your pearly whites.  Well, this was my new dilemma.  With each passing day, I noticed my teeth starting to really lose their sparkle, and that my friends, was not an option!  

                                                       

After trying literally everything under the sun, I decided to give Crest Whitening Emulsions a try, and I'm never ever going back.  Consistency is something that I really struggle with, but Crest makes it really easy to stay on top of your teeth whitening routine with this product.  You simply put a little of the Emulsions onto the wand and apply it to all sides of your teeth, and you're done.  No extra steps needed, simply go on about your day.  With some of the other whitening products that I tried, I noticed a lot of teeth sensitivity, which made it hard for me to continue using them, but with Crest Whitening Emulsions, you experience virtually no sensitivity at all.  No wonder they are the most awarded teeth whitener of 2021!

So, as we approach the holiday season and you start racking your brain about what to get your family this year, I would highly recommend throwing in the one gift I asked for every year growing up, a beautiful smile.  Currently, they are running a deal at Target.com for 10% off your purchase with code HOTDEAL now, through January 1st, 2022.  So there is truly no better time than the present to grab some for yourself and the people you love.

Target Spring Dress Must Have's

It's pretty safe to say that in the 33 years I've been alive I've never gone into Target and come out with what I went in for.   Target is one of those stores that you must shop at your own risk because, quite simply, they have everything you could possibly need.  It's an amazing problem to have.  On one of my most recent trips in for a few household items I just happened to stroll past the women's apparel department.  Needless to say, whatever was originally on my list instantly became a distant memory.

Since we are now in spring it's only right that I took a deep dive into their selection to see what new items they had in.  As usual, I was not disappointed.  The variety of options were endless, and the price points were even better.  I'm a girl who loves nice things but also loves to keep as much money in my wallet as possible as well.  So Target has become one of my go-to spots at the beginning of a season to load up on fashionable essentials.  For me, spring means dresses, lots and lots of dresses.  And I don't discriminate, I love different shapes, textures, colors, you name it I've probably bought it.  The secret is to choose pieces that offer you optimal versatility so you can make as many outfits as possible out of a single item.

Denim Pinafore Dress

On top of the 8 other dresses, I fell in love with (yes you read that absolutely right, and that number is actually quite an understatement),  there was one in particular that easily fulfilled my need for a versatile item.  The Denim Pinafore Dress can be easily dressed up and dressed down, which is a major highlight for me.  Lately, when I purchase an item I ask myself how many different ways can I wear this.  If I cant come up with three off the top of my head then it doesn't come home with me.  Think denim overalls but a teensy bit more feminine.  Let the evidence of these pictures show, you will not likely run out of ways to style this dress.  The best part, it's under $30.

Tshirt Dresses

 A spring and summer staple that's simple, effortless, and feels like stylishly wearing loungewear out of the house.  Last spring I was all about the muscle tee and that has absolutely rolled into this year as well, so this very bright Women's Sleeveless Tshirt Dress is right up my alley, or this Tie Dye Sleeveless Dress.   If you're not really one for the shape of a loose-fitting, muscle tee dress, you can also stick with a classic ribbed cap sleeve dress for a more fitted silhouette, like this Short Sleeve Rib Knit Tshirt Dress.  

Spaghetti and Tank Dresses 

We also cannot deny it's going to be hot outside, and as the weather really heats up we want some options that require minimum coverage, yes more skin.  If you're interested in something more dainty that's perfect for a picnic, or a brunch you should definitely take a look at the Sleeveless Button- Front Dress, Sleeveless Button Front Tiered Dress, or the Striped Tiered Tank Dress.  Any of these are the perfect simple sundress for all of our spring shenanigans.  

Babydoll Dresses 

Babydoll dresses are a great option because they are able to transition well between warm and cooler months.  Since we are all about cost saving over here, we want to get as much wear out of our pieces as we can.  Some of my favorite options that Target has right now for this style are the Women's Puff Sleeve Dress, Babydoll Sweatshirt Dress, and the Long Sleeved Tiered Dress.  Any of these would look amazing with a pair of tall knee-high boots in the fall.  

We vowed that we were getting dressed this year and RSVP to all the things we couldn't do last spring.  Therefore, we need options for all the looks we didn't have a reason to put on before.  So if you're looking for a few new dresses for the spring Target absolutely has you covered.
