Admittedly, the TalkingShopping team is semi-obsessed with our tooth whitening regimen. Hey, a smile’s a woman’s most powerful weapon, and you better believe that we’ll be polishing ours ’til it shines! However, over our years of whitening, we’ve realized that not all whiteners are created equal and far too many that we’ve tried have failed us in one way or another. Either they make our pearly whites too sensitive, don’t do the job to our standards, are too intrusive to be convenient or cost an unnecessarily huge chunk of change. However, there’s one whitening product that scores A’s in the convenience, performance, sensitivity and price departments and is even backed by some of the world’s freshest faces (yes, we’re talking about models!) What is this miracle product you ask? It’s the newest product from peroxide-free stain eraser IntelliWhite, called Pout & Polish ($21.72). The double-duty whitening pen was developed by one of the best in the biz, cosmetic dentist Dr. Jennifer Jablow and not only whitens your teeth on the go, but includes a gloss and a breath freshening formula too! Oh how we do so love multi-functional beauty tools.
Since discovering this gem of a beauty buy, the TS team caught up with the whitening guru herself, Dr. Jennifer Jablow (pictured, right) to chat about what makes her whitening products better than all the rest, which celebs swear by her stuff, how you can achieve the best results out of P & P and what the real deal behind pricey in-office whitening is!

Is a Sam’s Club $15 summer membership a good deal?
Every once in a while, the TalkingShopping girls have to give a shout out to one of those under appreciated e-tailers that we absolutely adore. Sure, we’d love to keep our most beloved secret shopping destinations all to ourselves, but it’s Friday girls and we’re in the mood to spread the love! So who are we giving props today? It’s none other than American Eagle’s sister store full of all the undergarments and pretty little things we love, Aerie! Their ultra feminine underpinnings and oh-so-fab workout gear make it easy to look sweet and chic, even if you’re sweating up a storm!
Carpet cleaners and juicers don't appear to have much in common. Except that we've gotten a surge of requests to provide buying guidance for both; in one case, it happened within the same discussion in our forums.

The TalkingShopping girls have gotten the itch this week to do a little home decor re-vamp. Emphasis on the little… both in size and price! When the warm weather hits, it’s always pleasant to lighten things up around the house and let our dwelling come out from under that constant cover of dark winter clouds. Besides, letting the light in always improves our mood! So, in the spirit of sprucing things up, we thought we’d round up some of our fave affordable home decor buys of the moment that are completely crave worthy, no matter what the motif and maybe a little quirky too! Mixing it up is never a bad thing. Enjoy…
