GUM EasyThread Floss is designed to make flossing around braces, bridges, implants and crowns easier. Flossing can be extremely difficult for those with dental appliances and we are pleased to announce that GUM has solved this problem with its new EasyThread Floss.

Ever since our daughter started wearing braces, taking the extra steps to keep her mouth clean has been important to her. Often, that means spending more time on her oral care reunite, like brushing longer after every meal, using mouthwash, and lots of flossing.

I’m proud to say that she does all of the above without any coaching or reminding from her parents. Which I understand is very un-teenage like of her. She also loves to find new products that help make these steps easier and more efficient. Her most recent addition to our medicine cabinet, GUM EasyThread Floss. This was sent to me as a review item, and ended up being a very fast favorite of hers.
To quote her “this is awesome!” “Fits between my braces and let’s me clean everywhere” “feels great on my gums” “I love the wheel dispenser, it’s really easy to use”. It’s also a great size to toss in her backpack, making it easy for her floss when she is away from home.

The proof of her efforts are definitely in her beautiful smile!

We are learning more, and more of the importance of good dental health, and how neglect can lead to gum disease, and other major health issues. Regular dental cleanings, flossing daily and brushing twice a day are key factors in preventing gum disease. So when I find a product that helps my family win that fight, I get excited. We all want what is best for our family, and for our health.

GUM EasyThread Floss and other helpful Sunstar GUM products are avaible to purchase online or where ever dental products are sold.

David and Paige Walling and Terry and Cathy Ostroff are best friends and neighbors living on Orange Drive in suburban New Jersey. Their comfortable existence goes awry when prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff, newly broken up with her fianc Ethan, returns home for Thanksgiving after a five-year absence. Rather than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbors, Toby Walling, which would please both families, it’s her parents’ best friend David who captures Nina’s attention.

My thoughts:
I was expecting a silly romp of a movie when I sat down to watch The Oranges. But, the movie wasn’t quit sure if it wanted to be a comedy or drama, so what I got was a surprisingly comedic story, with several bittersweet and thought provoking moments. It did run a little slow at times, which is fine with me. The story holds it’s own with some twists and turns, and the actors carry them out with such chemistry. Looking over a list of the cast, I don’t know why I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. If you’re looking to kick back and enjoy a good sleeper (straight to DVD) little movie with laugh out loud moments, some twist and turns and a lot of heart, The Oranges is a great choice.

The Oranges staring Hugh Laurie, Leighton Meester, Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, Allison Janney, Alia Shawkat, and Adam Brody is available NOW on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy.

Disclosure: I received a free Blu-ray +DVD & Digital Copy for the purpose of this blog post. I was not asked to write a favorable review. All opinions expressed are honest and my own.

FOX has ordered 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY, a thrilling new tent-pole event series set to restart the clock on the groundbreaking and Emmy Award-winning drama franchise starring Kiefer Sutherland. Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Television and Howard Gordon’s Teakwood Lane Productions, 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY will make its historic debut in the summer of 2014 on FOX.

The announcement was made this week by Kevin Reilly, Chairman, Fox Broadcasting Company; Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen, Twentieth Century Fox Television; and Brian Grazer, Chairman, Imagine Entertainment.

The high-octane saga will reunite showrunner Howard Gordon with Sutherland and retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format with split screens and complex interweaving storylines, with 12 episodes representing 24 hours. The suspenseful event series once again follows the exploits of heroic agent JACK BAUER (Sutherland), who will resume his story several years following the events of the final season.

My husband and I both enjoyed watching 24 each week. So, we’re excited to see Jack return to save the world one more time. Even if it’s just for one more day.

What do you think? Are you excited for more 24?

24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY is a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television in association with Teakwood Lane Productions. Howard Gordon, Brian Grazer and Kiefer Sutherland will executive produce, along with an additional team to be announced. The original series, which had its last American broadcast on May 24, 2010, was created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran.
