Preventing cavities for life!



Cavities are caused by a bacterial infection on the teeth known as “caries”. Dental caries is the #1 childhood disease, five times more prevalent than #2, which is asthma. Unfortunately, three out of four kids will experience dental pain due to decay before graduating high school! Brushing and flossing alone isn’t enough! CariFree now has a line of products designed to prevent and treat this infection. Check out the Xyli-Tots Lollies, they are a favorite among all ages!

High Heel in a Haystack’s Steps to Shopping Smart:
1. Shop your Strengths. What do people compliment you on the most? Your blue eyes? Buy more blue tops! Your legs? Buy more skirts! Shop for pieces that play up your best feature. 
2. Be honest about your lifestyle. Ask yourself what you really need. If you work in a corporate office, do you really need another pair of jeans?
3. Organize your closet. This allows you to really see what you have and what’s missing.
