Colgate mouthwash review

Thanks to Influenster I was able to review my own bottle of Colgate Total advanced Pro-Shield and I couldn't be more thrilled about it!! 

First let me say that I ALWAYS use Colgate Total toothpaste to brush my teeth: seriously the other toothpastes do not compare, even my dentist noticed the difference and suggest it to all their patients. But when it came to mouth wash, I went to my old Listerine, not sure why? Maybe habit or brand popularity. Either way, I find the Listerine very harsh on my gums and can't use it regularly, I have to take breaks with it, no matter what flavor I get. 

I did however, bought Colgate mouth wash for my kids before and I can definitely see the difference in their breath smell. It was about time I tried for my self and I'm so thankful that Influenster gave me this chance! So now that I used the mouth wash I can honestly say that I love it. It really holds true when it says that is protects against germs for 12 hours even after eating and drinking, I notice that my morning breath improved as well. 

Among the things that I love about Colgate Total Advanced Pro-shield mouth is that is alcohol free, so it didn't burn and irritate my gums. The Peppermint blast flavor I was sent was surely of my liking, but I bet other flavors will work as well. Definitely in my "to buy" list next time I go to the store!

Houston we have a problem! A funny story....

Yesterday while "talking" with my friend Kayla for The Eclectic Element, I got to think about fears.
Do you have any? I do have several, I must admit.
I'm plain uncomfortable in crowed places or alone in big spaces and driving in places that I don't know. I have fear of water and heights. And then I have one irrational uncontrollable phobia: roaches.
I'm not really a bug-lover, but roaches just make me go mad. I mean it!
And so, thinking about that, I recalled a "funny" episode that happened to me last weekend. Wasn't funny for me, but I think who watched me found it funny and I bet you will too.

One night, I turned off my computer and went to my bathroom to wash my teeth and go to bed. As I enter the room I saw it: a big roach running all over the bathroom floor, over the sink almost to touch my hand reaching for the mouthwash....he was running up and down everywhere!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing I could think to do was to scream and run out of the bathroom, while the mouthwash bottle was falling on the floor making a huge green mess!!!
At my scream, hubby comes down the bathroom with a bat thinking there is someone in the house trying to murder me! When he found me I was in total shock, scratching my skin raw and on the verge of feeling sick. I could just groan the work "Roach!" while indicating the bathroom floor with my weak hand......

Well, turned out I killed the roach with the mouthwash! The horrible bug got into the big green mess on the floor and wasn't able to move and died there.
So, just so you know, if sometimes you need some insecticide and don't have any, the mouthwash will do!!
Hubby picked up the corp in the mouthwash bottle and threw it away and then come to the rescue to calm me down and laugh on my face.
It took a good hour for me to come out of it. Almost wanted to crawl under the cover and suck my thumb for few days.
It's terrible to have a fear so big and not being able to control it. It disable you totally.
I was trying to get a picture of the "beast" I saw for you all to see, but just looking through images was enough for me to start scratching myself uncontrollably.
I so wish I was able to control this, but I think I'd need professional help....no kidding!
Well, I hope that gave you a chuckle if you're not scared of roaches and that didn't freak you out that much if you are.
