{CLOSED} GIVEAWAY: Rembrandt 2 Hour Whitening Kit & Toothpaste

Chances are that before any big event in your life-hot date, job interview, class reunion, you whiten your teeth.  Who doesn't want their teeth to be dazzling in photos or in person?

Well Rembrandt has a product for the procrastinators like me who forget until the day before a party and thus don't have time for the 2 week whitening strips.  Rembrandt's 2 hour whitening kit can whiten your teeth in 2 hours-you read that right, 2 hours!

The way it works: 
• FILL the bottom of the trays with the whitening gel.
• APPLY tray to teeth and start your first 20-minute session. When time is up, rinse your mouth and the tray with water.
• REST 10 minutes.
• REPEAT the 20-minute wear, 10-minute break method 3 more times (totaling 2 hours).
Be sure to read and follow instructions before you use it!


The end result-visibly whiter teeth in 2 hours not 2 weeks! For more information on the 2 hour Whitening Kit visit Rembrandt.  Best of all, the product typically retails for about $20.25-you can find coupons on the website too! 


To keep teeth white try the Rembrandt Plus Peroxide Wintergreen Toothpaste. With this toothpaste, you can whiten your smile while restoring tooth enamel. It's formulated with a rapid-release peroxide that starts working immediately on contact for visibly whiter teeth.

GIVEAWAY: Rembrandt has agreed to giveaway ONE Rembrandt 2 Hour Whitening Kit and ONE Rembrandt Toothpaste.

{CLOSED} Giveaway: Miss Now Mrs. Gift Card

Want to change your name after you get married? Or does your favorite bride want to change her name?  MissNowMrs is a name change service designed to help new brides change their name.  Basically, this service lets you (or the user) answer a few questions based on their state, then uses those answers to fill out forms like  Social Security, IRS 8822, U.S. Passport, USPS, State Driver's License and State Voter Registration forms as well as notification letters for all of the creditors.  Basically all you have to do is print out the forms, sign them, and mail them to the appropriate places.

MissNowMrs claims it saves the average bride 13 hours of time by putting all of the forms together in one easy to use website.  I think it could potentially save more than 13 hours-I have so many married friends who didn't even know where to start to change their name. Do you go to the DMV first or the Social Security office? That's 13 hours that could be spent doing anything else, like shopping or opening up wedding gifts.

MissNowMrs also helps in a variety of situations.  Thinking about hyphenating your name or taking your maiden name as your middle name-MissNowMrs can assist with that.  Changing your name after being married for a few years, say after having a baby? MissNowMrs can help with that.

At just $29.95, the MissNowMrs service is available as a convenient gift card to give as gifts. It makes a great bridal shower gift, engagement party gift, or wedding gift.  It's one of those gifts that every bride would enjoy but probably would never think to buy for herself.  It works in all 50 states, too. (Of course, a bride could purchase the service herself to use.)

Win One! MissNowMrs is giving away one gift card (valued at $29.95) to one lucky The Perfect Bridesmaid reader!
