One Step Closer to Hollywood with Oral B Technology
What do Simon Cowell, Jessica Biel, Blake Lively and Nicki Minaj all have in common? Apart from being worldwide celebrities they all have that perfect Hollywood smile.
Gleaming white and perfectly straight teeth is something I think we all have a desire for and these celebrities have created an envy for them. Getting that Hollywood smile can be hard to do unless you have the millions of pounds lying around to pay for it. So what can we do? Well Oral B Technology is getting us one step closer to Hollywood with their new range of electric toothbrushes.
I recently tried the new Oral B PRO 3000 electric toothbrush. I have to confess that I am an electric toothbrush virgin so this was an exciting experience. I thought the toothbrush was going to be really heavy but it’s actually very lightweight and the clever little charging stand makes it easy to store in the bathroom. I was impressed that it came with two different Oral -B Brush heads so that you can experiment with them.
I used the Sensitive Clean Brush head first as I felt this was a safe choice to go with for my first time. I left the brush to charge overnight but usually I think it takes 3 hours to charge up for the first time so when I woke up in the morning it was ready to use. When I first switched it on it was really quite powerful but I got used to the sensation in my mouth and carried on brushing.
I was amazed that you could just use it like a normal toothbrush with the same brushing techniques; there is also a pressure sensor built in to tell you when you are brushing too hard. And there is also a sensitive mode where the power slows down a little to give a softer feeling of cleaning. After my first use I was hooked. It made my teeth feel like they had been properly cleaned as if I had been to a dentist and now I probably won’t ever go back to a manual brush!

Sustainable St Albans is gearing up for its annual Sustainability Festival, SustFest24, from June 7 to 16. This community-led event is packed with activities designed to promote environmental sustainability and inspire positive change. Among the many exciting events this year, the Preloved Charity Fashion Show and Sustainable Style workshop stand out, emphasizing eco-friendly fashion choices.
Preloved Charity Fashion Show
The Preloved Charity Fashion Show will take place on June 7 at the Alban Arena. This fashion show is a unique event that combines style with sustainability, showcasing outfits created entirely from second-hand and upcycled clothing. By highlighting the beauty and creativity that can come from preloved items, the show aims to challenge the fast fashion industry and promote a culture of reuse and recycling. This event not only supports local charities but also demonstrates that sustainable fashion can be both stylish and accessible.
The fashion show will feature local models and designers, bringing a community feel to the runway. Attendees can expect an evening of high fashion, innovative designs, and inspiring stories behind the outfits. Tickets for the event are available for £10 and can be purchased here (Sustainable St Albans) (Sustainable St Albans).
Sustainable Style Workshop
On June 10, the Sustainable Style workshop will provide practical tips for creating a sustainable wardrobe. This interactive session will cover various aspects of eco-friendly fashion, including how to choose sustainable fabrics, the benefits of buying second-hand, and techniques for upcycling old clothes. Participants will learn how to reduce their carbon footprint through mindful fashion choices and sustainable practices.
The workshop will be led by experts in sustainable fashion who will share their insights and experiences. It’s a fantastic opportunity to gain knowledge and skills that can help transform your wardrobe into a more sustainable one. Tickets for the Sustainable Style workshop can be found here (Sustainable St Albans).
The Impact of Fast Fashion
The fast fashion industry is notorious for its significant environmental impact. It is responsible for approximately 10% of global carbon emissions and produces a vast amount of waste, with around 85% of textiles ending up in landfills each year. Fast fashion also consumes massive amounts of water; it takes about 2,700 liters of water to make one cotton shirt, which is equivalent to what one person drinks in two and a half years.
Why Sustainable Fashion Matters
Sustainable fashion aims to minimize the negative environmental and social impacts associated with the fashion industry. By choosing eco-friendly materials, supporting ethical brands, and embracing second-hand shopping, consumers can play a vital role in reducing the demand for fast fashion. Sustainable fashion helps conserve resources, reduce waste, and promote more ethical labor practices.
