When you have a full-time professional job plus 2 fur babies and an actual infant, life is chaotic. That translates into a lot of caffeinated products and the occasional glass of wine. Unfortunately, for my teeth, that translates into stains and less-than-perfectly white teeth. Yes, I have an issue. Beyond the fatigue, constant neck and back pain, and love, I happen to cherish my dental health as well. So when the Smile Brilliant team reached out promising that I could have whiter teeth in just 1 week, I decided to give it a go.

I got into Pokemon Go about a week ago when my brother texts me from Canada asking if he can use my iTunes account to download the app since Pokemon Go came out earlier in the US. LOL! Surely enough, I found myself addicted along with the many players in the world. Are you playing it or know someone who is? This Pokemon Go phenomenon has hit fans of all ages, celebrities included, and has also lead to quite a bit of controversial injuries. The app is free with in-app purchases but before you head off to download the hottest game in the market, here are 10 Things You Need to Know about Pokemon Go!

How well do you sleep? Since my life revolves around shifts, my sleep schedule isn't always the best. However, that's especially why it's even important to make the most of the time that I do sleep. Sleep is where our body's heal, rejuvenate, consolidate memory, and on the most basic level, what is supposed to leave us well and refreshed for battling another day. Like everyone else, I have some better nights and some worse nights. The nights where the dogs need to be let out multiple times are one of those bad nights. What about you? I'm sure you can think of a few nights. Here's the good news, you can learn how to make the most of your sleep.

Home safety is something that everyone worries about. When we travel or work, what happens at home? What if someone breaks in? What if you just want to make sure your place is safe and sound or that the kids are safe? In my case, we live in a place where the "maintenance" people come in at times to change the filter or check the alarms, whether we're home or not. That itself drives me crazy because I don't know what else they could be doing when I'm not at home supervising. We also have two four pawed family members that I always worry about when we're not at home. What kind of troubles do they get into? For all these reasons and more, a good home security system is a must. When it comes to security systems, there are many choices and varying price ranges. How do you choose?

ATT always has the newest technology for techies and families alike, like the Samsung Gear 2 Neo, an affordable smart watch with many great features. The smart watch though must be paired with a Samsung smart phone, which brings up our current topic. The newest and latest, Samsung Galaxy S6 is one that many have drooled over.

Tech is a mainstay in my life. Believe it or not, my husband is far from techie. Haha, he barely even knows what a #hashtag is. The only smart watch he knew of was the Apple iWatch. However, Samsung has been out with Smart Watches for a longer period of time and already has several different generations. One in particular, the Samsung Gear 2 Neo that AT&T sent me to review is thought to offer a full range of features yet being one of the most affordable smart watches.

Photography is always something I've loved. I enjoy taking pictures of the people I love. Perhaps it all started in my childhood when I remember seeing our family pictures. There was one in particular that I adored of my little brother. Actually, scratch that, all of his pictures were adorable. As I grew up, I enjoyed taking pictures of my friends and family. Before the digital age, I would love processing the film and seeing our memories etched onto pictures for future generations to come.

A little bit of tech helps to bring the summer flare! With the energy of the Atrico Multi Port Rapid Smart Charger, I was able to keep my devices well charged and ready to take the pictures for my gorgeous Easy Light Summer Recipes. This multiport charger has a point of allowing multiple items that need to be charged into one console, meaning it's that much more convenient charging multiple devices and not having to fight over outlets.

Music is a huge part of my life. It's what I use to pump me up, wake me up, and get me going. It's what soothes my soul and calms my emotions. Music is an integral part of my being and well being overall. There's nothing I love more than a great quality headphones. Sure, I have my fashion-oriented, sexy smooth, and outright gorgeous Frends Headphones in the Taylor model but they don't work so well when I'm on the move.

Selfies...we all know it. It's the new thing to do these days. Snap a quick selfie by yourself, with friends, at an event, or whatever. It's the thing to do these days and it can create fantastic memories. Do you do them? Know someone who does? There's always the ones that look fabulously glamorous and the ones that straight up look hideous. I've had my share of both. Ever wanted to take them better? Or for fashion bloggers like myself, it drives me nuts when the hubby can't take the photo from an angle that I want. It'd be so much easier if I could do it myself.

I love the holidays. They're always a great excuse for spending time with good company. It's always easiest heading over to someone's place. I dread hosting. I worry about the clean before, the preparation during and of course, the mess afterwards. For that reason, I typically hate being the host and even avoid hosting altogether. This holiday season, I've changed my mind thanks to the convenience of Microsoft Devices. The Nokia Lumia 830, its apps and accessories has made planning and hosting easier than ever and it makes me look fantastically smart while doing it.

Cooler and cooler tech items come out all the time but this is one of my new finds. The EyeFi Pro X2, a magical SD memory card that can have it's own WiFi network and allow you to transmit pics from your camera (any camera that uses a SD memory card) to your cell or laptop instantaneously. EyeFi actually has the Mobi and Pro X2 and I had chosen the Pro X2 because it had the capability to transfer to your computer, which the Mobi didn't use to have but now does. However, the Pro X2 still has a feature the Mobi does not.

This is going to sound disgusting...but since I moved into my new place, I have not had a vacuum cleaner. Luckily, most of my place consists of non-carpeted flooring, which means I can sweep and mop but it still takes quite a bit of effort. Unluckily, like 75% of other US homes, we have a combination of carpets and hard floors. Without a vacuum cleaner, my carpeted rooms were subjected to a life of neglect. Frankly speaking, they had not been vacuumed for months. Remember I also have two troublemaking, insanely shedding furbabies that didn't make the cause any easier. Short version...we were living in filth and layers of fur until very recently.
