Being fashionable is not only seen and measured from what clothes you wear or the shoes you strut on or the bag you tote with. Sometimes, being fashionable is being beautiful just as much. And people often take it for granted that hygiene has a lot to play in your being beautiful. And where better to start than your mouth?! You may have the pricey Hermes bag in tow or the new Blahnik shoes but these are nothing when you’re sporting a very acrid, bad breath! Sometimes, we forget to bring in one of the most essential things we have to be equipped with. But how to freshen your breath without a toothbrush?

Beat this icky situation by getting some carbonated water and swishing it around your mouth. This washes away food particles caught in your teeth or on the back of your tongue that cause odor. You can take a few bites of certain fruits and vegetables if you have them on hand. Apples, oranges, carrots, cucumbers, celery, and lettuce contain acids that cleanse your teeth naturally. One especially effective breath-booster is parsley. Maybe that’s the reason why the ancient Romans started using this green as a garnish.

Now, you can blow everybody a kiss like a superstar!
