It’s hard to believe that 2009 is already coming to a close. But in a matter of hours, we will be closing the book on 2009 and begin to write the pages of a brand new year in history. I have high hopes for 2010.

Tonight will be a low-key evening for me. I have plans for dinner and a movie (Sherlock Holmes looks so promising!), followed by mimosas and a midnight kiss from my favorite man. And I am happy to report that I will be 100% ready for that celebratory lip lock, even after all that popcorn and champagne, thanks to my new favorite  on-the-go beauty tool, Colgate Wisp.

I’m sure you’ve seen the commercials; girl and guy lock eyes across a crowded bar, girl runs off to slyly brush teeth, guy and girl smooch the night away thanks to the fresh breath provided by the mini toothbrush. Well, whether you’re trying to freshen up before a hook up, or simply forgot to brush your teeth before work in the morning, the Wisp packs a surprisingly clean punch for such a teeny toothbrush.

The freshening bead really works, leaving you minty while the little bristles clean teeth. I’m not about to toss away my regular toothbrush, but I definitely plan to keep a few wisps on hand.

So slip a mini toothbrush in your purse, doll yourself up, and get on out there tonight for an evening you won’t forget. And check back next week for my new year’s beauty resolutions. I know I’ll have many.

Happy 2010!
