Let’s play a game. There will be prizes. Pretty prizes.
How about two truths and a lie? Always a fun one. (For those of you that haven’t played before. I will list two truths and one lie. You need to determine which is which.)
a: I am the world’s messiest neat person.
b: I love birds.
c: I once had an emergency root canal on my front tooth.
What’s your guess? Think hard. I told you there would be prizes, right?
B is a total lie. I hate birds. You can’t trust anything with pointy beaks. Seriously. Someday people will listen to me. When birds attack. It’s bound to happen.
That leaves A and C as being truths. And they both relate to today’s post. Amazing how that works, right?
Let’s start with A. I am the world’s messiest neat person. My living room must be spotless. My kitchen counters must shine. The fridge must be free of finger smudges.
But my hair gel. All over the place. Caps are never put on any product. My toothpaste is a total hot mess. There is crusty toothpaste on the cap so there is no possible way to close it. The tube is always wrinkled. Who squeezes from the bottom? Weirdos.
Nate refuses to share anything with me because he gets so irritated at me destroying tubes and not closing caps. (This coming from the dude that will hop over a laundry basket in a doorway.)
We have a vacation coming up and we are trying not to double up on packing items that we can share (like toothpaste and mouthwash).
hello products offered us some products to test out. Not only are they good for your teeth but they also come in pretty packaging. (Pretty is always important with me. Usually over function.)
How fun are those packages??? hello isn’t just a pretty face. They are the first line of seriously friendly oral care. The products debuted in March. hello promises a friendly mouth! The products do not contain artificial sweeteners, dyes or alcohol. The products were designed by BMW DesignworksUSA, which explains their fancy appearance.
All of the products are made in the USA using naturally derived ingredients wherever possible. The products are never tested on animals. Flavors include supermint, pink grapefruit mint, mojito mint, and sweet cinnamint."
I tried (and am still using) the supermint toothpaste, the pink grapefruit mint mouthwash and the mojito mint breath spray.
I was super skeptical about a grapefruit mint mouthwash. It’s crazy. It’s like this delicious grapefruit taste at first and then a nice mint once you spit. My mind is blown. Seriously. I’m still trying to figure it out.
The breath sprays are quite tasty. Perfect for us non gum chewers. The package is cute and fits nicely in my purse (also a mess hole).
The toothpaste has a strong mint flavor. It was a little strong for me at first but I am a big fan after using it a few times. My mouth has never felt cleaner. The extra bonus is the awesome packaging, which has proven hard for me to ruin. Impressive work, BMW DesignworksUSA. I give hello a gold star for that one.
Now onto C. I am super particular about what dental products I use. About 4 years ago, I was out in the yard with Ike. I bent down to pet him and he jumped up into my face. He ended up moving one of my front teeth. I called the dentist and he popped the tooth back into place and he thought I would be fine. I followed up a week later and my tooth was dying. I needed an emergency root canal that day or I would lose my front tooth. The tooth was saved but it is still sensitive so I have to be careful with the dental products that I use. No issues with hello! It’s also a good thing that dog of mine is cute!
Side note: hello is not for dogs. Ike has his own toothpaste. He was just jealous of the awesome packaging of my toothpaste. He also has a thing for pretty new things. Just like his mother.

What hello products are you excited to try? Are you a sucker for pretty packaging? Did you win the two truths and a lie game?
You are too funny!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try the supermint anitcavity toothpaste!
Have a great weekend.
The grapefruit thing weirds me out. But at the same time, I want it. Feeling conflicted.
ReplyDeleteI was super skeptical but it is seriously amazing. And it's still blowing my mind. Grapefruit then mint. How do they do it????
DeleteI'd like to proudly state that I knew B was a lie. AND I also mangle toothpaste...drives Rick crazy. I just don't see what the big deal is. Thanks for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteI totally failed, I guessed C. But I am still excited about these hello products - I love the packaging! I am always a sucker for something that looks awesome, hence the plethora of Ora Keily method handwash bottles in our house ;) These are absolutely going on my shopping list.
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by everything. I might be raiding your bathroom on vacation... :-P
ReplyDeleteI once tried some citrus-flavored toothpaste and it was very weird. But perhaps it's improved since then?
ReplyDeleteMy house my be a little cluttered and messy, but I can not have my toothpaste messy. And I get so upset with my husband when he does not push all the toothpaste up from the bottom.
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by the grapefruit mouthwash!
ReplyDeleteOooo, I really want to try the mojito mint breath spray. Chewing gum hurts my teeth but I am terrified of bad breath. This sounds like a good solution. Plus, mojitos are delicious. So there's that.
ReplyDeleteI totally won the two truths and a lie game.
This is a great post! I have been on the lookout for green toothpaste, and this sounds like a great option!
ReplyDeleteWaaaaant the grapefruit mouthwash. I know my bf would hate it so it would be allll mine.
ReplyDeleteI love oral hygiene products but breath spray freaks me out somehow. I'm def gonna hit up Target to check out that grapefruit mouthwash though...what the what?!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try that mojito breath spray, it combines two of my favorite things, mojitos and...well, who am I kidding, mojiots. asbestos abatement Orange County CA
ReplyDeleteI will have to check this out! The mouthwash looks awesome! I love that it is clear, the blue, green and purple Listerine ones always kind of freak me out - sooo much dye!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the toothpaste is Sodium Laurel Sulfate free? That would be amazing, since currently the only good toothpaste I've found that doesn't have SLS is sensodyne.
I am also one to purchase things because they look pretty, and I have a bottle of the grapefruit mint mouthwash that I purchased at Walgreen's - but I haven't tried it yet. It looks super cute on my bathroom counter though... haha
ReplyDeleteI want to try the toothpaste too because I also neglect to cap my toothpaste. :)
I'm a messy clean person too, but NOT when it comes to toothpaste. I love the look of this packaging & I would love to try the pink grapefruit mint mouthwash!
ReplyDeleteThe breathsparay would be neat to try. I currently don't have something like that in my purse, so I'd give it a go.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try the mouthwash!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I love that they are all natural and made here in the good old USA!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, the messiest clean person you'd ever meet. My bathroom is a mess but my pantry is "Sleeping With The Enemy" clean, seriously, I can't have the labels facing the wrong way it gives my heart palpitations when they aren't!
~Nicole
I really want to try that grapefruit mouth wash! Sounds neat!
ReplyDeleteIf you're a messy clean person, I must be a mess-free dirty person, haha. These look great, I wonder how the toothpaste would do on temperature-sensitive teeth? Plus I grind my teeth so gum only lasts me all of 30 seconds before I have to spit it out, I'd love to try the breath spray!
ReplyDeleteI love the packaging and the flavor sounds cool!
ReplyDeleteThe grapefruit mint is just calling my name!! It's something different that I would love to try
ReplyDeleteI love these products!!! Can't wait to try the toothpaste.
ReplyDeleteOur front tooth stories sound almost identical, except mine chipped and I looked like a hick for a week because all the cosmetic dentists were booked. (I did NOT come out of my house. For anything.) Luckily it didn't turn into a root canal.
Where are you going for vacation? Justin's 29th birthday is at the end of August and I'm surprising him with a 5 day trip to Vegas! I can't wait. Although we'll probably stay in the hotel and complain about the 110 degree weather. :p
Oh I will try, going to target tonight!
ReplyDeleteI also have issues with messy toothpaste caps and such so I'd love to try the toothpaste!
ReplyDeletethe supermint mouthwash
ReplyDeleteI have a 2 year old grandson that lives with me. I'm a neat freak. My grandson is not. he usually wins.
ReplyDeleteWould love to try this brand to help with bad breath!
ReplyDeleteThe Supermint Mothwash - love the names!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try. I always feel like anything other than Crest or Colgate isn't going to work. But I'm with you. This is pretty!
