The 2015 LISTERINE® Challenge wrap up with giveaway

It has been two weeks and a bit since I announced I was taking part in  The 2015 LISTERINE® Challenge To be honest I was unsure if I could do it as outlined. Rinsing with LISTERINE® twice a day for two weeks sounds easy enough, but change is hard for me. Plus I had a little time away from home and was unsure how it would fit.

The challenge

Rinse with LISTERINE® Twice a day for 14 days

There is still time for Canadians to take the challenge- Take The LISTERINE® Challenge for a chance to win $20,000 until July 15 2015.

I had left the LISTERINE® out on the counter so I saw it every time I brushed. I found the first few times my mouth really felt the power of the mouthwash. You know that tingly feeling you get when you first use mouthwash? But after I was use to it, it was refreshing. LISTERINE® has a variety of products and sizes which made keeping on on my new routine when away easy too. After a couple of days it was habit and I was feeling the difference.

LISTERINE

As I get older I know how important good oral health is. I wish I had added rinsing twice daily to my routine years ago. Before I knew better, I thought that bleeding gums were a result of brushing too hard, but it’s actually a sign of early gum disease. I have enjoyed adding rinsing to my oral hygiene routine and look forward to continuing. My mouth feels fresh and clean and there has been no issues with my gums. I love the LISTERINE POCKETPAKS® to add a little freshness when I am out. These breath strips fit nicely in my purse and taste great!
