Since the Colgate #WearASmile campaign launched, I’ve been paying a lot more attention to my smile! I am more conscious of how my smile reflects, especially in photographs. I still want to keep it natural and have been practicing to try and get it to look like the real thing in photographs. I used to look at my smile in the mirror and then in photos, and it would look completely different. But, with a few helpful tips and tricks I’ve picked up, I’m pretty close to the real thing. Perfecting it though, still needs work. They don’t pay models for nothing! Channeling the perfect smile – on demand, is tricky! And with anything in life, practice makes perfect. Don’t forget to vote for your favourite finalist in the Colgate Wear A Smile Campaign. One of these four girls will be getting her own Cosmo Cover, but you guys need to help make that happen, so vote by clicking on this link. Back to my smile tips, here’s what I’ve learnt so far… Love and care for your pearly whites A great smile starts by taking good care of your teeth. I’ve been using the Colgate Optic White  range for a couple of months now, and loving…

As the entries to the Colgate #WearASmile competition close at the end of the day, I thought I’d do another smiley post and give you more tips to help you submit your best smile ever! Being one to shy away from the camera, I’ve learnt a lot about how to smile more naturally. Nowadays, I try not to worry too much about how the end picture will look – as for me, that always ends in a deer-in-the-headlights kinda way. The best smile, IMO (in my opinion) is one that is totally and completely natural. One where the person’s face genuinely lights up the room. You don’t have to be the best looking person in the room, but a great smile will always get you noticed. I popped on over to the Optic White blog to check out some of the competition and these gorgeous smiles caught my eye… I love how these smiles show off these girl’s, playful personality. Without ever meeting them, I can instantly tell that they would be very approachable and easy to get along with. Remember that today is your last chance to enter and win your own Cosmo Cover, PLUS that R20K Shopping Spree! If that is’nt enough to make you smile, then…

Arhhh! Photos! I’ll be the first to admit, that while I love taking pictures, I hate photographs of myself! I always think that I look too weird in them and that my smile looks too fake. I guess I haven’t mastered the art of my “photo face”. Now, as you know Colgate is running their awesome #WearASmile Campaign, where you could win your very own Cosmo Cover and appear in the gatefold cover of Cosmopolitan magazine! Entries close on the 22nd May, so you still have some time to enter, by uploading your best smile to the  Wear A Smile blog. If you’re like me and want to win, but don’t like pictures of yourself, here are my three simple tips that may help you take better selfies. Remember to upload them onto the Wear A Smile blog if you want that prize! 1. Don’t compromise on good light! Ever! Light is so important to making your pics look that much better. Lighting that is too harsh will bring out all your flaws, while bad lighting can be just as unpleasant! The flash is also not your BFF when it comes to selfies. Most of the time it makes you look washed…
