This post brought to you by Toms of Maine. All opinions are 100% mine.

I need to tell you something. Don't take this the wrong way and I mean it in the nicest way possible: your breath REEKS.

Has anyone ever told you that? Have you ever had to tell someone that their breath was so bad that it smelled like something DIED in his or her mouth?

In all reality that person was probably eating meat and that makes your breath nasty. And your shit.

So, what's the point? My poor husband has foul breath. Most days he doesn't eat meat but the dude has halitosis or some little tooth gnomes are burying their garbage in between his gums. It's unbearable.

After putting up with it for a few years I said "Look, buddy, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT." And then he made me go to the store for mouthwash.

Mouthwash! Of course! But what kind to get? I saw rows and rows of the clinical looking bottles of Listerine and thought that maybe the germs need to be burned off of his gums. But then I did some research and it turns out that Listerine, which is owned by Johnson & Johnson, tests ALL of their products on animals. Why the hell are companies still doing that?

So Listerine was out. Obviously. Their list of ingredients was also a little terrifying.

So I Googled. That's what a green consumer has to do! You can't just go to the store and easily find products that are friendly to the environment and to our fellow creatures. In my search I found Tom's Of Maine. This is one of the few nationally sold brands of oral care that isn't toxic and is vegan! Hooray! Their ingredients for their new Wicked Fresh mouthwash includes glycerin from vegetable oils and NOT animal fat and benzoic acid from APPLES. That's a fruit, y'all, not some scientifically engineered chemical.

Anyway, Tom's is rad and vegan so it gets two thumbs up from me!
