    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!

    yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority bu yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority but in that I’ve sort of lost myself.

It’s my own doing too so don’t feel bad for me 😂 because it truly never felt right to leave my girl. We are very attached. Am I crazy? Yes, probably. But I’m okay with that. I realized my baby will be FINE if I go get a professional haircut or a pampering pedicure. Idk what changed but I think it’s the fact that I’m noticing more wrinkles and my hair could use a transformation. It’s greasy, heavy and lacking life. So I’m getting a haircut this week 💇‍♀️ I’m changing to a customized hair care system AND I’m scheduling a hydra facial because my skin desperately needs hydration. My skin, hair and nervous system need some serious self care haha.

Mamas, it may not feel right just yet to prioritize you but the time will come. Just follow your intuition 🖤🖤🖤 you deserve it.

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑
