10 Effective Home Remedies For Yellow Teeth
Isn’t it sad that you need to think before you smile? Laughing aloud is a strict no, no and just is limited to texting! Yellow teeth sure can be embarrassing!
Yellow teeth are usually a sign of decay and indicate an accumulation of plaque as well. Yellowing of teeth is caused by various foods that we consume and due to ageing. We focus so much on how our face looks and tend to overlook the health of our teeth. Fortunately, with these simple top 10 home remedies for teeth whitening, you can protect the enamel of your teeth and keep your pearly whites gleaming!
Home Remedies for Yellow Teeth Whitening
1. Holy Basil:
This wonder herb is a remedy for a plethora of ailments and is an excellent tooth- whitening agent as well. It also protects the mouth from a variety of dental problems. Sun- dry the leaves and grind it to a powder. You can mix this powder with toothpaste and utilize it daily.
2. Salt:
This is one of the oldest home remedies for yellow teeth. All you have to do is mix a bit of salt and charcoal and use the mixture to clean your teeth. The salt granules act as an abrasive and remove the yellow layer stuck onto the teeth. This remedy is mild on the tooth enamel when compared to toothpaste.
3. Orange Peel:
Orange peels are an excellent remedy for bad breath as well as for yellowing teeth. Simply rub an orange peel on your teeth each night before going to bed. The calcium content and Vitamin C in orange peels eliminate microbes from the mouth apart from reducing the yellow tinge from your teeth, leaving you with fresh breath. One can also add dried orange peel and basil powder to regular toothpaste and use every day.
4. Carrots:
The fibre content in carrots is very high, and this acts as a scrubber to cleanse the teeth of accumulated plaque, leading to the removal of the yellow tinge on the tooth enamel. Carrots are as good for your teeth as they are for your eyes!
5. Neem:
Neem has been used since ancient times as a teeth whitening agent. It is one of the best home remedies to get rid of yellow teeth. The neem twigs can be used as a toothbrush, all one has to do is chew on the twig. This action not only loosens up any food particles stuck between the teeth, but also reduces bad breath and cleanses the tongue. One can also mix neem oil along with toothpaste while brushing. Neem is a natural antibacterial and antiseptic, so its regular use will ensure that your mouth is fresh and teeth are nice and shiny.
6. Baking Soda:
Baking Soda is one of the best remedies for yellow teeth. It neutralizes acids in the oral cavity and is a mild abrasive. Gently rubbing a bit of baking soda on the teeth can help to scrape off the yellow layer accumulated on it. One can mix a bit of baking soda, salt, and toothpaste for effective teeth whitening
7. Lemon:
This very common citrus fruit stimulates the formation of saliva in the mouth, which helps to rinse the teeth and gums, ridding them of stuck food particles. Mix equal proportion of water with lemon juice and use this as a mouthwash after each meal. This remedy also helps to reduce bad breath. The citric acid in the lemon acts as bleach and whitens yellowing teeth. It is important that the lemon juice is diluted as the citric acid may erode the teeth over a period of time.
8. Strawberries:
These are one of the tastiest remedies for yellow teeth! The malic acid in strawberries is an effective tooth cleanser. Mix some strawberry pulp along with a bit of baking soda to whiten your teeth. Within a month of this, you can notice that your teeth are significantly whiter!
9. Banana Peel:
One of the most unlikely home remedies to whiten yellow teeth, Banana peels are an excellent teeth whitener. Simply rub the banana peel on your teeth thoroughly and leave it on for 15 minutes. Brush your teeth with regular toothpaste after that. Regular use of this remedy will show a marked decrease in the yellowish tinge covering your teeth.
10. Apple Cider Vinegar:
Blend a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil with a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a bowl. Dip your toothbrush in this and scrub your teeth. Repeat this process until the mixture is finished. This remedy not only whitens teeth, but also reduces bad breath and swelling of gums.

Dining Etiquettes
For almost all meals, if you are wondering what utensil to use, start from the outside and work your way in. So, if you are served a salad first, use the fork set to the far left of your plate. Your water glass is the one above your knife in your place setting.Don't chew with your mouth open.

For Porcelain skin :
Rice powder or flour is a widely known ingredient to treat blemishes, wrinkles and pigmentation. In fact, this ingredient has been used as an anti-aging skin treatment in many Asian countries for centuries. The Geishas in Japan, for example, use rice powder in their beauty routine and despite their heavy makeup, their skin remain porcelain smooth.
Mix 1 Tbsp rice four, 1 Tbsp grounded oat flour and 1 tsp whole milk powder in a bowl. Mix with lukewarm water & massage gently over the skin. Rinse & pat dry. ( you can also make a thick paste and leave it on the skin for 10-15 mins as a mask). Moisturize skin after washing.

Dining Etiquette
USE THE APPROPRIATE GLASS. It is not only aesthetically pleasing, but cocktail recipes are designed for specific glasses. Mixed drinks are usually served in highball or lowball glasses, depending on the quantities. For a drink like Long Island Ice Tea, you want a tall glass so you have enough room to “fill” with the mixer. The same goes for drinks like Sea Breeze and Gin and Tonic. For beer, use a Pilsner glass. Most shaken and strained drinks fit perfectly into martini glasses, which are optimal for garnishing with fruit.
The New Look! Try Out.

Pretty Scarlet Pout
A bright red
pout is an attention-grabbing statement on its own. So ditch the smoky eye
skills stick to kajal and mascara to avoid looking too over the top on the rest
of your face.
While the market has billions of shades to offer you, its important to find the one that works like magic for your skin tone. Our suggestions would be:
Olive complexion: Pinkish or Orange-ish reds,
Darker skin: Plum or Wine-coloured hues,
Fair skin: Pure reds
You know
you went through a major public embarrassment, when you’re busy smiling to
flaunt your pout un-aware of the fact that you are not actually flaunting the
horrible lipstick stained teeth.
My lovely
ladies, choosing a dress that complements your scarlet pucker is great. But
fabulous dress which over complements your crimson lips is not so great an
option. Yes it’s true that anything from a sexy LBD to a white tee with denim
will work like wonder with your pout. What you need to be careful about is
going too loud and extravagant outfits like a cheetah print dress.
Lip
liners are not outdated! In fact they are a perfect solution to prevent your
lip colour from getting smudged. Lip liners are the magic potion that makes you
look like a goddess instead of a blood sucking vampire.

Brighten your skin in 15 mins :
Cut a slice of ripe papaya and remove the seeds and pulp (save the pulp for a snack later—it’s great for digestion). Rub the inside of the papaya peel on your cleansed face, focusing on lines around the mouth and eyes, crow’s feet, thinning temples, neck and hands. Let it dry for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse with tepid water. This mask can be done twice a week. The enzymes in papaya exfoliate, repair sun damage, diminish age spots and smooth skin. Your skin will look brighter, with a more polished finish.
The New Trend
Manish Malhotra designed two-tone kurtas, some with stripes, others simply plain that were teamed with wide salwars, dhotis or dhoti pants.
Go for dark shades.
Dark colors make you looker slimmer and they hide the flaws but bring out your curves!
Fabric:
Lightweight fabrics like georgette and chiffon stick to the body closely, so they make you look slimmer! Brocade, heavy silk, cottons, and kanjivarans look good on tall and slim women because they add volume to the over all look.

Border Of Saree:
Bigger or wider borders will make you look short. So for you ladies, who don’t want that, should go for a slight border or no border at all!

Sari Draping : Mistakes one should avoid while wearing a sari
1. Wearing the wrong shoes :
Never wear casual platform heels or wedges with a saree. Also, the flats and slippers should be avoided as they spoil the overall look. However, high heels and stilettos go very well with this gorgeous Indian attire, as they make you look slimmer and taller.
2. Flared Petticoat :
Flared petticoat should be avoided as they will make you look fatter and shapeless. Also, they make the task of managing the saree quite difficult. It is therefore, always a better option to go for plain and fitted petticoat.
3. Wear according to the occasion :
This is yet another mistake that you should avoid making, so as to prevent yourself from being a laughing stock. You might be having some favourites among the huge collection that you have. But, that does not mean you would wear them irrespective of the occasion. Wearing light-weight and subtle coloured saree is not suggested for a formal function like a wedding. Similarly, that shimmery fine fabric enhancing the beauty of your wardrobe is a ‘strict no’ for wearing in the office party.

5. Avoid too much bling :
You need not have an overdose of bling when you wear your favourite saree on any particular occasion. This will surely get you good amount of attention, but certainly not in a right way. Go for delicate jewellery like subtle earrings, thin bracelet, and long sleek chains with small pendants, etc. This will accentuate your looks and also make you look your age, i.e., young!

12 Problems That Can Be Solved With Baby Powder:
1. A knotted necklace
Never waste time desperately tugging at tangled jewelry again. Loosen the knot with a little baby powder and use a pin to pull it apart.
2. Musty furniture
One can keep drawers fresh with a sprinkle of baby powder under the drawer liners.
3. Greasy hair
Most dry shampoos are starch-based, so baby powder has a similar effect in a pinch. Sprinkle some on your hands and massage it through your scalp to soak up excess oil.
4. A sweltering summer night
Crawling into a hot, sticky bed is no one's definition of nighttime relaxation. Dust powder between your sheets to help absorb sweat and keep things cool.
5. A stuck-together deck of cards
When poker night gets messy, toss the playing cards into a paper bag with a few tablespoons of powder and give them a good shake. Then wipe them with a paper towel.
6. A family of ants
Keep these intruders out of your kitchen by blocking their path with powder (they're not fans of the scent).
7. Oily stains
Don't stress over spilt salad dressing. Dab any oil-based stain with baby powder to absorb the grease before laundering like usual.
8. Dish glove friction
After washing dishes, sprinkle a little powder into the rubber gloves. It helps keep them fresh while they dry and your hands easily slide through the next time.
9. Squeaky hardwood floors
Pour baby powder onto your wooden floor and sweep it into the cracks to quiet creaking floorboards. Wipe away the excess, and enjoy the sounds of silence.
10. Sandy feet
11. Wimpy eyelashes
Beauty bloggers swear by this one. In between coats of mascara, use a cotton swab to dust baby powder on your lashes. Adds volume.
12. Sweaty feet
Sprinkle the stuff in your shoes to keep odours at bay. And forget socks — the powder keeps your feet dry so you can go barefoot in flats without worry.
Pack a travel size bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. At the end of the day, rub it on your skin and sand will come right off.
