Puteri’s World

Every winter I had to deal with very dry and scaly skin especially on my legs. But this year that problem is a thing of the past.

So what did I do differently this year?

I bought a large jar of body butter creme. I was at bath and body shop some months ago, and while I was there I asked the sales assistant what would help my dry skin. She recommended the body butter creme. Actually, one of my kids’ teacher suggested the body butter to me too but I had totally forgotten about that.

I am glad that she did and I ended buying a large jar of it. The body butter creme is indeed very effective at keeping my skin moistened. Every morning after my shower, I will apply the body butter creme on my legs, arms and the soles of my feet. And every night before I go to bed, I do the same.

If you have a problem with dry skin, you might want to use a good body butter creme yourself. It worked for me and I am sure it will work for you too!

I’ve recently started drinking green tea regularly. Now I am worried about my teeth getting stained.

I used to think the Vietnamese had the ugliest teeth. They love to drink tea and most of the people I knew had teeth that were badly stained. I do not want my teeth to end up like theirs!

I just checked a site that had some natural remedies for stained teeth. Regarding tea, the remedy is, not to sip the beverage throughout the day but to do it in one or two sittings. I drink at least 3 cups a day, so does that mean I have to gulp my tea each time? And after drinking tea, it is recommended that I brush my teeth. Huh.

Using baking soda for brushing is also not advisable. It can scratch composite resins and porcelain veneers (which are used to make crowns and other types of tooth restorations) and stains will appear more readily on these scratches.

It looks like the best solution for getting rid of teeth stains is to go for cosmetic cleaning. I can do that.
