Just wearing one of their languid tees, flowy maxi dresses or laid-back pants and I immediately sink into the same relaxed mode [...]

In an effort to spring clean my look, I’m paying close attention to my teeth. Not so much the healthy part–though, of course, I’m keeping up with my brushing and flossing routine–but the get-out-the-yellow-spots-now portion.
