    Charcoal Toothbrush, Cruelty Free Toothpaste & CocoRinse

    Mar 7, 2016 • Beauty, Wellness & Lifestyle

    Boka Oral Care Subscription Box with a Charcoal Toothbrush, Cruelty-Free Minty Toothpaste, Teflon & Petroleum-Free Minty Floss and CocoRinse for oil pulling! From The Glowing Fridge. #crueltyfree #beauty #oilpulling

    After receiving the most adorable Boka Box in the mail last week, I couldn’t wait to share the deets with you.

    Let’s just say I’ve been consistently flossing and oil pulling for a week straight – my mouth feels amazingly clean and bright.

    No chemicals. No nastiness. No artificial ingredients.

    So basically, I’m obsessed.

    Although we rely on a handful of products to keep our teeth and gums healthy, they’re often easy to overlook. Are you reading the ingredients in your toothpaste before buying? Or just picking out the brand name whitening one on sale? How bad can they really be, right? I had never given much thought to the type of toothpaste/mouthwash I was buying until slowly transitioning to a more holistic route with all my beauty products.

    Seems like toothpaste and deodorant ended up last on my list… still working on the deodorant debacle… so today it’s all things pearly whites!

    If you’re like me, you need super effective products because you crave that “clean” sensation, like you’ve killed off ALL the germs. So aside from going to the dentist, you floss everyday and brush everyday, twice a day, if not more. You may use harsh chemical-ridden mouthwash that burns like CRAZY but you do it anyway. Or if you’re a hippie like me and need alternatives, you’ve incorporated oil pulling into your routine because, coconut oil. 

    There’s a lot of steps that go into a healthy oral care routine, but you may be surprised to find out what ingredients are lurking in conventional oral care products. They can be just as nasty and filled with unnecessary ingredients as the next conventional product. Sulfates, fluoride, triclosan, parabens, alcohol, artificial flavors and artificial sweeteners etc. Since researchers are finding more links between oral health, inflammation and diseases that affect the entire body, proper oral care is more important than most people think. Prevention is key.

    This is where the Boka Box subscription comes into play and saves you. Everyone can appreciate this box. Boka makes it easy to care for your mouth in a healthy, cruelty-free way; they’re all about simplicity, affordability and fun. Sent out every three months, Boka is a oral-care subscription that sends all-natural, BPA-free dental products to your doorstep ? for adults and kids. In it, subscribers receive a Binchotan charcoal toothbrush (electric Sonicare heads also available!!), petroleum-free & teflon-free minty floss, all-natural minty toothpaste and optional cocorinse for oil pulling!

    First, we must talk about the trendy charcoal toothbrush. That’s right, charcoal. Made with Binchotan activated charcoal bristles, the Boka toothbrush naturally prevents odor-causing bacteria from growing on your brush. Because of bacteria which can be swarming, your toothbrush should be changed every 3 months, which is super convenient as you receive a new box every 3 months if you sign up for a year which is risk-free, you can cancel at any time. The extra soft bristles provide a gentle, effective cleaning that won?t damage your teeth or gums. They?re also tapered at the top to tackle plaque between your gum-line and teeth.

    I love the minty toothpaste! I’ve tried a few different holistic brands, but this one is amazing. According to Boka, toothpaste shouldn’t have to foam and burn to be effective. They kept only the good ingredients found in nature and left out all the nasty, potentially harmful ingredients. Your teeth will feel clean and oh-so refreshed. I love how they added essential oils like peppermint and mint in there too. It’s also made without fluoride, if you’re confused as to why fluoride is flawed, read this.

    Next up is the minty floss and CocoRinse. The floss glides smoothly and expands between your gums, plus it’s teflon-free and petroleum-free! And my favorite, the CocoRinse, for swishing (aka oil pulling) instead of harsh mouthwash. This is an ancient Ayurvedic technique that:

    • Naturally freshens breath and helps reduce cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth
    • Helps rinse away stains, leading to brighter teeth
    • Uses cold-pressed, virgin coconut oil and 100% pure essential oils
    • Contains none of the harsh, artificial chemicals that you might find in mouthwash
    • Is packaged in simple, tear-open servings that are easy to warm between your hands
    • Is easy to pack in your luggage for people who oil pull on the go

    If you take pride in having beautifully healthy teeth and gums, you need to start swishing with this goodness. Don’t spit it down the sink though – only in the trash!!Boka Oral Care Subscription Box with a Charcoal Toothbrush, Cruelty-Free Minty Toothpaste, Teflon & Petroleum-Free Minty Floss and CocoRinse for oil pulling!

      I can definitely get behind the all-natural toothpaste and the cocorinse, but the charcoal toothbrush is kind of weird. I’ve never seen anything like that before! If you’re worried about bacteria on your toothbrush, you can always just sanitize them with peroxide 🙂

      Under the FAQ What’s your floss made of?: Wrapped in natural beeswax, Boka floss glides smoothly and expands between teeth to give you a super-clean mouth and gums.
      Beeswax. And I can’t be sure if the toothbrush’s bristles are made of hog’s fur or some other animal product.
      As much as I love their idea of non-toxic chemicals and would like to buy their products, it’s not vegan.

      I’m a new viewer of your blogs; keep up the good work 🙂

      I am loving your blog! Thanks! I have a homemade deodorant that I’ve been using for almost a year now and I love it! You can find the recipe here: http://www.thankyourbody.com/homemade-deodorant/
      I find it is not overly oily and it lasts all day, sometimes two!

      I made the switch in deodorant and I ❤️ My Primal Pit Paste in Lemonade. It lasts a good 8 hrs and smells great. I sweat a lot less after about a week of using it. My body just adapted. I highly recommend it!

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.
