Rembrandt Deeply White + REACH Review...

About Rembrandt Deeply White:

"REMBRANDT® Deeply White™ toothpastes and mouthwash ($6.99-$7.99 at drugstores) work together to provide superior whitening by using Active Dental Peroxide, the ingredient dentists use to whiten below the enamel surface."

For optimum overall mouth care, don't forget Reach toothbrushes and floss!

What we thought: We really enjoy the results we get when using Rembrandt Deeply White products.  The toothpaste really works well and has a flavor that isn't crazy overpowering.  When we use the combination of the toothpaste and the mouthwash, the results are pretty awesome and we can notice the difference in the whiteness of our teeth in just a week or so.  The new REACH toothbrushes have some really fun designs...what a great way to express yourself with a toothbrush:)  For a whole mouth clean, we like to followup with REACH floss after brushing.  Every time we brush, we are left with a great all around clean mouth feeling:)  ABCD Diaries gives Rembrandt Deeply White products and REACH toothbrushes and floss an A+!

Buy It: You can find Rembrandt Deeply White products and REACH toothbrushes and floss at mass merchandisers and grocers nationwide.

HandVibes Review...

 We recently had the chance to review the newest thing in tween fashion, HandVibes:

About HandVibes:
"The Handvibes are novelty rubber rings with interesting words on them in different colors. Featuring words and sayings such as “Rad,” “BFF,” “Epic,” “Dude,” “Boo-Yah,” “ROFL” and many more, HandVibes are a fun way for kids to display their attitudes on their fingertips. Adding to the collectability of HandVibes are ten rare black or blue swirl emoticon designs featuring smiley faces, winks, smirks and more, which are randomly inserted into just one out of every six ring packs. Since HandVibes are sold in packs with two visible rings plus a third ‘Mystery Ring’ contained in a hidden compartment, every purchase will have an element of surprise as kids discover if their Mystery Ring is one of the rare emoticon designs.
With nine vibrant colors, 25 unique sayings and ten hard-to-find emoticon designs for a total of 235 unique rings in all, HandVibes are poised to become the newest craze in kids’ collectible, tradable fashion."

What we thought:  What a novel idea!  The newest thing in tween fashion is HandVibes and even 5 year old A was excited about the samples we received:)  The whole idea of the "mystery ring" is pretty cool, because who doesn't love a mystery?!  The sayings on the rings are current and cool, perfect for today's tweens and teens.  These rings are tradable, affordable and fashionable...what a great combination!  ABCD Diaries gives HandVibes an A!
