Hey Peeps!
I left home with the idea that I might run a few blocks to see if my knees would hold up. After a few steps, I decided running was off-limits, so I carried on walking to the town as I needed to top up some personal items.
It was freaking hot. I mean roasting hot. I hurried to Greggs and picked up a cold bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice, and I guzzled it down and caught my breath. The regular cashier had a look on his face like he thought something was amiss, so I assured him that I'd just walked 35 minutes uphill and felt depleted from the heat.
Being a thrifty spender, I tend to have different shops that I pop by to get the best deals on whatever items I'm looking for, but on this day, I thought it was in my best interest to save myself running around town and check into the Savers Health Home and Beauty discount Store, as the name implies.
The deals and money-saving potential from Savers are impressive, as products cost £2.00-£3.00 less than what you get from regular supermarkets, and online.
My most pleasing discovery was this Hemp Toothpaste.
This product promotes everything that I like, and it would be a great replacement for the Forever Living Aloe Vera toothpaste which cost £7.00, that I like to use (I get a discount from my friend), as well as Dr Organic Aloe Vera from Holland and Barrett which costs £5.50.
They are expensive compared to regular toothpaste that you get at regular supermarkets, but these healthy ones are fluoride-free, here you can see the fluoride debate.
This Hemp toothpaste comes with a free toothbrush, contains natural hemp oil, and on the back of the box, it says it's formulated with Omega 3, 6, and 9 that's excellent to fight bad breath.

When looking at ingredients, it's advisable to see where the main ingredient falls (this I know for researching my hair products). If you examine what each contains, it would be fair to say that Dr Organic is the least desirable, and comparing the Forever Living Aloe Vera (toothpaste is green in colour) and the Hemp toothpaste (also green in colour), they both are gentle cleansing, fluoride-free, and highly formulated using natural ingredients.
Have you ever tried this brand of Hemp toothpaste or another? I know it's only toothpaste, but do you have any other healthy choices for toothpaste that you'd recommend?
I think it's nice for us, coffee-lovers, tea-lovers, and wine-lovers, especially, or anything else that might discolour teeth, to look after our hygiene in an economical and healthy way, in between our dental visits.
Thanks for stopping by peeps:)
