Humans have been finding ways to remove hair since the beginning of time, but many wonder how our modern day technique of shaving came to be. The story of how this modern ritual transformed over time from a necessity to a fashion statement is quite interesting.

Since the Beginning of Time

Neanderthal men are seen in cave paintings as beardless. It is believed that the first men’s razors date back to 30,000 B.C. Flint was most likely what they used as a blade. For women it was the year 4,000 B.C. before they were recorded as removing unwanted hair. They used barbaric methods such as arsenic. By 500 B.C. Roman women finally discovered easier ways to remove hair by using a primitive razor. The Egyptians were very obsessed with hair removal. They took off all body hair in order to reduce the spread of diseases and lice.

Modern Day Shaving

Today it is fashion that dictates how much hair we remove. The first example of this was in 1915. The May issue of Harper’s Bazaar had an ad showing a young girl in a sleeveless dress. She had her arms over her head, and everyone immediately noticed her hairless armpits. Before then women were wearing modest clothing that covered them completely. Now that the underarm area was being shown, girls began to worry about their armpit hair. Hemlines were also beginning to creep upwards. This made the leg’s more noticeable. A new problem was born. How do they remove this unwanted hair? [Read more…]

Product Review: Get Fresh Breath In A Swish

I had great experience using Swish Mouthwash before, so when a dear blogger friend asked me if she can send over Swish products in exchange for my honest review, I readily agreed. You’d think I won’t have to worry about keeping my breath fresh since I stay at home all day, anyway, you’d think I can simply brush my teeth whenever I need to, right? Oh well, I love to prove you wrong. Frequent brushing, after all, can also take its toll on our chompers by damaging the enamel that protects our teeth from cavity and decay, so I can only do it at least twice or three times a day max. On those times when I feel like I could use a fresher breath, I use mouthwash after brushing, especially at night, before going to bed.

Keeping a good oral hygiene is also a must for mums like me since I would like to pass on the habit to my son. Not to mention, tooth decay is really nasty that I do not want to pass that on to my dear little man. I simply want healthy teeth and fresher breath, especially when I am cuddling and kissing Jared all day long!

Swish Products in a nutshell

Innovitelle, Inc., an umbrella organization of Unilab Inc. send me the following Swish items to sample:

Mouthwash Arctic Chill 60ml
Mouthwash Peppermint Fresh 60ml
Mouthwash Cinnamon Blast 250ml
Moutnwash Mangosteen Mint 250ml
Swish Breath Spray in Arctic Chill and Peppermint Fresh variants

I have tried the regular variants of their Mouthwash but I am having second thoughts about the Cinnamon Blast and Mangosteen Mint flavors. But guess what? I gave it a shot and I liked them, am now using the Mangosteen Mint variety after every brush. So do not be put off by the fancy names, these variants work as well as the regular mouthwash you use!

Anatomy of Swish Breath Spray

What’s not to like about the Swish Breath Spray? It keeps your breath fresh in an instant and it’s so handy, mums can use it while on-the-go. With two pumps, it gives you instant fresh breath in just 10 seconds! What’s even better is that its absolutely alcohol and sugar free. It is perfect for quick breath fix and quickly kills germs and bacteria in our mouth which can be caused by eating, drinking or smoking. Am actually giving my other sample to Jared’s dad for him to try!

By the way, a bottle of Swish Breath Spray retails at Php105 and can last up to 100 sprays, so it is very economical, too. It is available in Arctic Chill and Peppermint Fresh variants.

Mum’s two cents

What I love about Swish mouth wash is that they are alcohol-free so they have no sting like your usual mouth wash. I can gargle for up to 20 seconds with no sting or uncomfortable feeling in my mouth. The mouthwash also comes in ready-to-use formula so there is no need to add water into it, just pour about 20 ml on the cap and you are good to go! I bet even bigger kids will like them, too, so they are ideal mouthwash for the entire family! To help me keep fresh longer, I use it twice a day, once in the morning and at night.

Putting stock on our oral hygiene will not only be beneficial to us as we prevent bad breath, plaque build up and gingivitis, but will also work to our children’s advantage in the long run, so make it a habit to be a good example and start with a very exemplary oral hygiene. With Swish products, doing just that is easy-breezy!

Swish products are available in all leading supermarkets, drugstores and convenience stores nationwide. For more information about the company and their products, do not forget to add them on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/swish.mouthwash.
