In the last few years I have begun prioritizing my health a LOT more than I used to. Maybe it was something about turning 30 that made me realize I need to start taking care of this body of mine if I plan on keeping it another 60+ years. It was a transition to put me “first” sometimes, but I realized that in order to be the best mom, wife, and friend, I needed to spend some time on ME. Like they say on airplanes – you have to put your own oxygen mask on first before you can help others. It’s a great metaphor for life.
I began making small changes all over my life – from limiting carbs to cutting sugars, working out more, drinking wine less (gasp!) making sure I get enough sleep, etc. And while I have always been super conscious about my oral health, I have made small changes there as well – like making sure I use a toothpaste that is as good on health benefits as it is whitening, using mouthwash daily, and making sure I floss. These small changes have added up over time, and as I head in to the second half of my 30’s (gasp!) I have to admit I am feeling even better than I did in my 20’s!
Colgate Total® has long been my choice for dental hygiene, so when I had the opportunity to team up with Colgate to share their new Colgate Total® Daily Repair products, I was excited to share them with all of you! Not only does Colgate Total® make my mouth feel great, but it tastes great too and keeps my breath fresh – even when I am pounding it out at the gym.
The new Colgate Total® Daily Repair helps to reverse everyday damage to your teeth and gums. You know… like all that red wine we drank in our 20’s. Yikes! As well as just normal daily wear and tear by remineralizing weakened enamel and protecting against plaque and tartar. Most people do not realize the importance of oral health to their over all well being. Periodontitis affects more than 3 million people in the USA every year and can cause medical issues such as tooth loss and is also a risk factor for hearth and lung disease. I do not want any part of that – so I make sure to prioritize my dental health every single day.
During Women’s Heath Week – coming up May 8-14th – Colgate wants you to take the pledge to “Refresh, Restore and Repair” your health and put yourself first so you can be the best version of you for everyone in your life. I am taking the pledge – and you should too! Using Colgate Total® is a super small change that can make a big impact on how you look and feel.

How do you put yourself first?

This is the brand I already use, actually! What a great smile you have 😉
Great products!
Colgate is my favorite toothpaste.
Your teeth look great. I definitely need some whitening. I have tried other products in the past with little results and lots of sensitivity.
Colgate Daily Repair reverses previous stained teeth. Sure gonna try this. I deserve to put me first. Thanks.
I swear by Colgate. Thanks for sharing. Great post!
thats a great campaign from colgate!
My family almost exclusively uses Colgate products!
You have great teeth! We’ve always used Colgate – right now I’m using their whitening paste and mouthwash. I had a lot of dental work done this last year so like my dentist said, I treat my teeth like jewels.
We use Colgate in our house.
I need to try this
Nice smile! I use whitening strips periodically, but this looks like a great way to keep it up between times. I also like the refresh part of the campaign–taking a few extra minutes to pamper myself in my daily routine makes such a difference in the way I feel.
I put myself first by taking me time.
It’s so important that you take good care of your teeth and I try to tell my grandchildren this all the time.

You sure do have a bright white smile! Perhaps I’d better switch to Colgate A.S.A.P. 🙂
I’ve always used Colgate Tooth Paste, it’s Great!
Having good dental hygiene is so, so important. I have always loved Colgate products!
My dentist always gives us trial size bottles of Colgate Total mouthwash to take home & I quite enjoy it. I will have to try their new Daily Repair, thanks for the post!
Oral health is so important and many people don’t realize how connected it is to the rest of your health. What a great campaign by colgate
Taking care of our teeth is more important than most people realize as it can impact our heart (and more) if we don’t take good care of them.
Colgate is my favorite toothpaste. I love it!

Love colgate. I need to start prioritizing myself as well.
