Smile Brilliant

Smile Brilliant offers some really great products! Having used their products in the past with great results (a bright, white smile!) Smile Brilliant's lab-direct process makes achieving professional results at an affordable price easy. In the last few years, they've taken this model and expanded their line of oral health products to include something for everyone -  from the newest in the cariPRO line - a cordless water flosser that allows for easy and effective cleaning, to oral probiotics to improve the actual microbiome of our mouths!

One life (mouth) saving product is the Smile Brilliant Night Guard.

Smile Brilliant's affordable, lab-direct process is not just for teeth whitening - this exact method allows them to create custom night guards exactly as the dentist would & send them straight to you! Night guards protect our teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching while we sleep - which can cause discomfort, damage to our teeth and jaw over time. This system is actually rated #1 Best Overall by SleepFoundation.org in 2021 for the unique combination of comfort, durability, affordability, customization and lifetime reorder! In my case, the dentist noticed that I was grinding my teeth and offered to create me a custom night guard, but it would have cost more than $800! So I was so thrilled to find Smile Brilliant's super easy, affordable option! The best part is that if I ever need a replacement guard - I can simply order a new one at any time for almost nothing!

Beyond the night guard, some other noteworthy products include the Smile Brilliant Water Flosser, Plaque Highlighters,  and even Oral Probiotics!

With a focus on sun protection, because, after all, Hawaii is the ultimate "outdoor state" if there ever was one, sought after holistic health coach Holly Harding didn't just her own surfer lifestyle in mind. She was sure to factor in  the rest of the world, but literally and figuratively. Cruelty-free, sustainable and integral - Harding offers oral supplement, too - your skin can survive any harsh environment while still caring for the environment.

Humble Genes

Devesh Samtani was a talented, young, smart and promising designer that was set to enter his freshman year at NYU when his life was tragically cut short just two weeks prior to the start of his first semester. From Hong Kong, Samtani was already working on establishing himself as a fashion designer with a cool brand comprising of hats and hoodies called Humble Genes. While remembered as humble, Devesh was also known as someone who was full of life and to keep his legacy, his friends and family decided to proceed with the launching of his brand. With all proceeds going to the Devesh Samtani Foundation, this non-profit is already helping children from low-income families receive quality educations. Fashion meets charity and this month, in honor of what would have been Devesh's 19th birthday, the foundation launched their first initiative - Devu's Mathlete - a program to aid development in potential young math stars. In    a time where there is so much turmoil in the world, this foundation helps spread love, joy and kindness, just the way Devesh did.
