For the past five weeks I’ve been saying to
myself “when things calm down a bit I’ll be better with my blog”. Well, guess what? Things haven’t calmed down, but it’s amazing
what eight hours of radio silence on a day flight can achieve!
I owe you all so many updates – travel, food,
challenges... I’ve had three fabulous weeks travelling,
eating myself silly, and two challenges have finished without a proper update –
let’s change that.
Ok, May’s challenge – flossing daily.
I spend (too many of) my working hours up
to my eyeballs in oral care and trying to persuade people to take better care
of their teeth (with our products J ). I could list you five reasons off the top of
my head why we should all be flossing, but I was a complete hypocrite because I
barely ever did it. Why? I don’t know... I’m inherently lazy, it takes
too much time, I haven’t really had too many issues so far... fairly typical excuses. I always have floss in my handbag, but that’s
just in case something gets stuck in my teeth when I’m out and about (an
all-consuming annoyance) and the only time I’d but in a half-baked effort was
about a week before I went to the dentist.
That has all changed. Flossing is
brilliant! Wow, I can’t believe I
actually said that out loud – what a nerd.
Hand on heart, I did not miss a single day,
and after a week I was flossing almost twice a day. I’m a total convert. It only takes a minute after brushing (what’s
a minute?) and my teeth felt cleaner and whiter, and that ‘just brushed’
feeling lasted longer.
I’m going to get down from my high horse in
a moment, but let’s just say I’m feeling pretty smug about going to the dentist
in a few weeks – he’d better notice!
Ok, seriously, I’m going to stop talking
about flossing now... (get flossing people!)... ok, really, now I’m done.
