A few weeks before our wedding, Mitch and I decided to get serious about whitening our teeth. We knew we’d be all smiles on the big day (and during the events leading up to it), and we wanted to feel our best. A few friends recommended Crest Whitestrips, so we bought two packages of them. And we couldn’t believe how amazing the results were! Mitch’s father even made a comment/joke about our “stunningly white teeth” during his toast at the rehearsal dinner, haha. In all seriousness, though, we felt more confident than ever through it all… thanks to Crest.
A few weeks ago, I was asked to participate in the “Two Weeks To Your Whitest Smile” challenge, and try out the new Crest 3D White Supreme FlexFit Whitestrips. I was thrilled. It had been nearly a year and a half since I’d last whitened, and many, many cups of coffee had been consumed in that time. Truthfully, I’d noticed–especially in recent months–that my teeth had lost their pearliness, and I couldn’t wait to see what Crest’s new version of the product could do for me!
In an effort to make the whitening process as easy as possible, I kept a couple of strips in my pocket at all times, and broke them out whenever it was convenient. For the most part, I wore them while I was working at my computer, watching television, or traveling in the car. But on a few occasions, I had conversations with Mitch while they were on. To my surprise, the strips stayed in place and my speech wasn’t impaired!
Within only a few days, I saw results. And at the end of the two weeks, those results were dramatic. Of course, in the above “after” photo, I’m wearing red lipstick–which kind of makes my teeth’s whiteness “pop” even more, but I still think there’s a huge, noticeable difference! I felt extra special during our trips to see family in Pennsylvania, Long Island, New York City, Vermont, and Illinois–and again, simply more confident. And I’m really happy to start off 2015 with a brighter smile! :)
Good luck! (And in the meantime, here’s a $5 coupon for the product! It expires on January 24th, 2015.)

I would love to try this product! I recently passed the CA bar exam and will be opening up an additional law office in Santa Barbara, Spring 2015! I can use all the extra confidence I can get!!!

I would love to try crest whitening strips! I bought all 3 of my brothers crest whitening strips for Christmas. I have yet to try them myself! I love the crest whitening mouth wash. Thanks, Kelly and keep up the great work! xo Cate
I’m getting ready to interview for my first job after grad school. A little sparkle in my smile would go a long way! :)
Hi Kelly! I love Crest White Strips and one of my New Years Resolutions is to be the best version of myself including getting those whiter teeth! :D Happy New Years!
I’m getting married soon and I need to have white teeth for all that smiling, just like you said!
I need these because I drink lots of coffee and I want my teeth to look whiter

I would love to feel confident while taking pictures, because usually I am self-conscious about my smile!

I need these so bad, five years of braces will do that to you.

Coffee and tea have taken their toll. I’d love to give them a try!
I’ve always been a fan of Crest whitestrips but I haven’t tried these yet! I’m pretty self conscious about my smile because I wish my teeth were whiter. I feel like these would really help the situation. Thanks for the chance!

I’ve been wanting to try some new whitening tricks! I’m getting married in July and would love to have pearly whites for the big day!
A new smile to go with a new year!!
Mostly because I’m getting married in the spring ;)

I would love to win! I would use them for my wedding!
because I’m getting married!
I’m a big fan of Kelly in the City and if she likes these, I’m going to give them a try!!
Sounds like a great product! I’ve always wanted to try whitening my teeth! And who wouldn’t want an extra boost of confidence?
I would love to try the new product because I have a habit of drinking a lot of tea, but still want to have a bright smile! :) I love seeing other people smile and it really brightens my day, so I’m hoping mine can do the same as well.
I’ve been wanting to whiten my teeth for a long time. Being a pediatric night nurse coffee is my best friend! This is the perfect opportunity to try whitening.
I would love to try this product because I am a soda drinker and you can definitely tell by my teeth. I would love to whiten them up!!
I noticed lately my teeth are not as white as I would like them to be.
I would love to try these to have whiter teeth. I simply love your style and that they are doable on a daily basis. Thank you for keeping it real and for this opportunity.
I’d love to try them since I’ve never before! I’ve only whitened my teeth at the dentist :)
Would love to try these! I’ve increased my coffee intake and could definitely use them!
These sound awesome! I would love to give them a try myself. I have an implant and a crown that are slightly different in color from my real teeth, and I bet whitening strips would match them back up and give me confidence knowing my teeth aren’t two different colors, haha. Thanks so much for the opportunity! :)

I stopped drinking pop several months ago and I’m not a fan of coffee, so I’d like to give my teeth a little makeover and keep them that way!!
26 and Not Counting
i would love to the crest product because ive been meaning to get my teeth whitened but it is so pricey:/
Hi! I would love to try these new strips! I have used Crest white strips religiously for years and have loved the results but I haven’t gotten to experience these new ones yet! There’s nothing better than a bright white smile in my opinion!
Would love to try them since all of my friends have already. They all use them regularly and love them :D
Just got a big promotion, I’d love to impress my new office with some seriously pearly whites like yours! And I had the same retainer problem… I’m excited they now have even better fitting strips. I’d love to try em :)
What better way to start a new year than with a white smile? Fingers crossed!
Hi Kelly, I would love to try this product! I love the Crest Pro Health toothpaste and would love to see how the white stripes could brighten up my smile for the new year!
I would love to try these! I’ve seen them work for my best friend and would love to try them for myself.
I’d love to try them instead of cutting out coffee! I take care of my teeth but wish they were nice and bright! After all, you’re never fully dressed with out a bright and sparkly smile!
I would love to try this product! I’ve tried several products in the past that but did not have much improvement with the whiteness of my teeth! I just graduated with my masters in nursing and will be interviewing for new jobs soon! First impressions are so important so a big smile with white teeth could really help!
Hi Kelly! Your teeth look beautiful (before AND after!)! I used Whitestrips years ago and got AMAZING results, but since then, I’ve had issues with sensitivity whenever I’ve tried them again. (grrr!) I’ve been hoping to try these new Whitestrips in combination with Crest’s new Sensi-stop strips and cross my fingers that they’ll do the trick! (I’m a coffee addict, so you know!) lol Thanks for the awesome giveaway! :-D
Please pick me, Kelly!! I am a bridesmaid in two weddings this summer and I would love to have pearly white teeth for those special occasions!! Thank you and happy new year!!
I graduate from college in May and would love to have these to whiten before all the job interviews I will hopefully have in the coming months! Eek!!!
I would love to try this product because my high school’s winter dance is coming up. It would definitely add to my look if my teeth were not as yellow as they currently are :).

I would love to try this product! I have tried the normal white strips and the sensitive white strips, but would love to try these!
Love Crest Whitestrips! I would actually give these to my sister to try as she has always wanted to!
I drink alot of coffee and could definitely use them to whiten my teeth a bit! Thank you!
I would love to try out the white strips! I have been wanting to get professionally whitened, but with three kids under four I don’t seem to have the time! Would love to try this out!
A coffee habit born in law school has added to the non-whiteness of my smile. I’ve tried so many whitening programs I can’t count. None really worked of course. As my New Year’s resolution is learning to be more comfortable in my own skin, this would be a great step in that direction!
White teeth are a must when it comes to confidence!! Love you, Kel!
Starting my final semester of grad school and I’ll be applying for jobs soon – I’d love to try these whitening strips out! Thanks for the giveaway, Kelly!
To much coffee and red wine!
I would love to try them! Your smile looks amazing and I have been feeling like I could give mine a new look with a whiter smile.
I’d love to try these as I’ve never used them before! :)
I would love to try this product!! I used to use the whitening strips constantly a few years ago but ended up getting careless about it. I’m a college student so coffee is basically as much of a necessity as water is and my teeth are taking a toll!!
