** In collaboration ** If you’re lucky, then just having one set of teeth is all that you’ll get. So it is very important that you take care of the teeth that you do have in the best way possible. Teeth can be painful and expensive to repair, so taking care of them each day, just like you do with things like your hair, skin, and general health, is the best way to make sure that they stay in good condition (and hopefully, anything extreme or disastrous happens to them).

Oral health is closely related to heart health, so that is another reason why taking care is one of the best things to be doing. You are likely to be someone that is brushing their teeth each day; this is something that we all get taught from being children. But what about some other ways to look after your teeth? You can be doing more than brushing twice a day. Here are some tips and reminders to make sure that your oral health is as good as possible.

It is time for the next blog in the ‘operation gtfo’ series. When you are nearing the end of your thesis you need to start writing those pesky introduction chapters.

** In Collaboration** Is your home lacking that extra something when it comes to how it looks from the outside? Many people are unhappy with their home’s kerb appeal, but there are plenty of ways to revamp it and make it look fresh and appealing. It’s all about improving those initial impressions and making your home look as presentable as it can. Here are some ideas that you should make use of if you want to boost your home’s kerb appeal. Get Creative with the Number First of all, you should think about the number that’s on the front of your door. This is the thing that helps people identify your home as yours, so you want it to stand out and grab people’s attention right away if possible. There are plenty of ways in which you can get creative. You could find two mismatched number fonts and combine them to create an interesting style. The options are limitless.
