Smile Secret - does it really work? REVIEW (+ Code)

Smile Secret - I am pretty sure you already heared this brand name at least once on Instagram.

If you want to know if this bleaching kit for whiter teeth is really worth the money, keep reading.

First things first: If you follow my blog or Instagram (@vanessaworth.me) for a while now, 

you already know I am always super honest, even I have to say something negativ about a brand

or product and they stop cooperating with me (already happend :D).

I don't care about it, cause in my opinion people follow me just for this reason - just because

they know I would never promote a product which is trash haha.

But let's move on to my review about SMILE SECRET.

When this brand reached out to me, I was super excited to try their products out and to see if this

works as good as everyone is telling me on Instagram. ( I swear, nearly every second Story was a

smile secret advertising which made me very scaptical)

The products arrived and I started testing the bleaching kid out. 

This is more then one year ago. And I still using it. 

Guess this says everthing, but let  me explain some points in detail. 

Before Smile Secret I already used bleaching stripes of another brand and oh hell, my teeth were

hurting everytime I used them. I never stopped, because they worked, but I knew this couldn't be

good for my teeth. The Smile Secret Kid don't hurt at all and it work freaking good in

just 16 minutes! I am bleaching my theeth around 1-2 times a week and I still using my

first package which was the Smile Secret Complete Kid. I swear, I got the feeling it lasts

for ever! :D Additionally I am a smoker and a coffee addicted person, which means my teeth got a lot

of discoloration day by day. But thanks god, that Smile Secret reached out to me, cause since one

year I could bleach my teeth without any pain and with such a good result. I filmed a little video

where I show the application and the result, so feel free to have a look below!

Instagram Story Editing Hacks without leaving the app | no other apps needed | Vanessa Worth

Instagram Storys are more important then ever if you want to reach more people and want to gain

more Folowers on Instagram. Today I want to show you 10+ Instagram Story Ideas only using the

normal story tool and no other app additionally. Hopefully you could get some inspiration of this

post. ♥

#1 OUTLINES

Absolutely a quick and simple method to pimp up your story. You just have to draw around an

object, a person or anyhing you want with the brush tool. After that, change into the eraser mode

and erase little parts of the line. Super cute and super easy, when you don't have a lot of time to

edit your story but you want to pimp your picture a little bit. Last but not least some text and

that's it!

#2 CREATING A BOX

Did you know before, that it is super easy to create some boxes for your story? All you have to do

is writing some text (choose the biggest font), click on the button in the left corner and choose a

color the box should have. After that you mark the word/words and choose the same color as

you have choosen befor for the 'background color'. Voila! Looks like a cute box and trust me,

there are so many options to use this method.

#3 SPIRAL / HELIX

I absolutely love love love this trick, cause it's so simple but looks damn cool. You just have to

draw a spiral or zigzag over a person and erase every second line, so it starts to look like the

spiral runs behind the person. I added some text and that's it!

#4 SHADOW FONT

I guess this is a hack a lot of you will know already. Gonna show it anyways for those who didn't

know the magic of layering fonts in different colors. Write down a word, choose a color, write

down the word again, choose a similar color (just a bit lighter) and repeat this once again. Now

you got three different colored words. All you have to do is layering the three words (not totally

identical!) Put every word a little bit more right then the word before and you got this pretty

shadow effect!

#5 FOCUS

If you just want to show the most important part of a picture, or want to call attention to your

next post without showing it immediately, this method is perfect for you! Just paint the whole

picture by clickling a bit longer on the marker pen and erase the part you want to show. Add a

little text or be creative in anothrer way.

#6 RAINBOW FONT

This is a super cute way to pimp your text! First step: write something down. Second: mark the

word and choose your 'startcolor'. Then take a finger on the left mark-circle of the word and hold

on your start cover with another finger. Now you have to slide your one finger from letter to letter

(as the arrows are showing in the picture) while moving the other from colour to colour. I decided

to stay in the brown area of the color palette, but you can also choose a lot of different colors like

red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue ...

#7 MIX YOUR OWN HANDWRITING

For this hack you just need to write something down with your own handwriting. Then you have

to erase the middle part (horizontal) of it and last but not least you need to add the same or another

word written in one of the instagram fonts where you have erased. You can also add a brush stroke

as background, like I did in the follolwing example.

#8 TEXT FRAME

Always looking fancy and so easy to do: text frames. Just use some text as a frame around

your picture.You can be creative with the font, color or space between the letters.

#9 COLOR PALETTE

Create a color palette to make your picture look more aesthetic! Choose the first brush in

a big size and pic a color of your picture. Paint a point at the side, bottom or top and repeat with

other colors. Tadaaa!

#10 SINGLE LETTERS

Write every single letter on their own to create a more dynamic optic! I love doing this, because

you can create so many different looks with it! So many opportunities!

#11 3D EFFECT

Similar to #3 you can paint different lines in different colors and sizes and erase everything

which would overlap you or the thing in the focus. It creates a 3D 'rainbow' look.

#12 MIX FONTS

Last but definitely not least - a really simple opportunity, but not seen that often: mixed fonts.

I absolutely don't know why just a few people use more then one font in a story. It looks super

cool in my opinion, especially when they overlap each other. What do you think?

That's it for day, guys! Hope I could gave you some inspirations!

Please let me know below in the comments if you like these tips and what's your favorite!

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Berlin Blogger Preparings | MBFW INVITATIONS, ORGANISATION ETC.

It's time again - the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Berlin starts in a few days and I am glad to tell

you I am part of it again. Shows, Meetings and After Show Partys are waiting and I am completly

into preparings. That's why I got the idea, I could share my preparings with you too. I guess most of

you underestimate all the things going on before the Fashion Week and how much work the fashion

week is for me as a blogger. I don't want to complain myself, I love my work, but anyways I thought

it would be great to share a little behind the scenes with you.

INVITATIONS

It's my third year now on the MBFW Berlin. As I started blogging, I had never thought about being

invited to one of the Shows. That's why I was super excited when I recived my very first invitation

- my very first and only invitation in 2017. Yes, it's true. During my first Fashion Week I just went

to ONE Show. The following year I thought about how to get more invitations, cause I absolutely

loved watching the Runway Show of Ewa Herzog in 2017 and I wanted to create more content

about other Designers and other Shows. I checked the official Fashion Week calendar and the

work began. I googled hours to find out the press contacts for every Runway Show in 2018. After

that I wrote a mail to each contact, where I introduced myself and explained why I had to be part

of the Fashion Show. It worked. Some of the Designers wanted me writing about their new

collection and invited me. 2017 I visited one Show. 2018 I had the pleasure to watch 8 Shows and

visited two Partys. 2019? Stay tuned. I just could say the Fashion Week will AMAZING this year

and I am super excited about having the chance to visit so many shows and meeting so many new

people.

OUTFITS

Of cause, MBFW it's seeing others and being seen too. The week before I always google the

Designer where I am invited and look which style could fit to their Show, without loosing my own

taste of style. Mostly I am creating 6 to 7 outfits for four days, because I want to have the option to

change my look for a party in the evening. Funfact, this year I haven't have my looks done yet but

defenitely have to, cause most is in the closet basket and I need to go to the laundry. 

ORGANISATION

Invitations are safe, outfits are safe, now moving on to the organisation. Every single location has

to be written down and the distances have to be checked. Sometimes two Shows are immediately

behind each other, but are in different locations, which makes it difficult to be in time at the

second Show. I am planning every way exactly on the minute and when I realise that it is

impossible to get from one Show to another in time, I have to choose which is more imporat for me

to see.

PLACE TO SLEEP

Because I don't live in Berlin right now and the last years, I always needed to book a hotel or airbnb.

Mostly I tryed to find something which is not that far away from the shows, but it wasn't very

easy (most Shows are around the district Berlin Mitte, which isn't that cheap for sleeping haha).

BLOGPOST

When it's finally Fashion Week, the real stress begins. (Btw I love this stress, cause I love what I do.

It's not like university stress haha) I am always hoping I planned everything right and I could watch

Show after Show without any problems. During the Show you could see me with my phone in the

one hand, and the camera in the other. I am always trying to film some parts of the show for my

Instagram Storys and make photos of the looks for my blogpost. Between the shows I already

select what pictures I want to use for the blogpost and edit them. Every Fashion-Week-Day ends

with sitting on my laptop till around 2am, writing down my impressions and upload them with

the ready pictures of the looks here on my blog. Five hours later it's time to wake up again, make

myself ready for the day and moving on with a new day full of shows, pictures and storys. 

Yeah, and that's what I am doing 3-4 days during MBFW Berlin. :D I know it will be a week

without much sleep, with a lot of work, but also a week full of impressions I will never forget and

a week full of things I love. I hope u liked the little behind the scenes blogpost and you are looking

forward to the first blogpost about the Fashion Week which will be online on the first of July.

HOW TO REACH 1000 PEOPLE JUST TROUGH HASHTAGS - INSTAGRAM TIPS SERIES PART 2 BY VANESSA WORTH

As I said in the last Instagram Series Part 1 "How to get more likes on your Instagram posts",

I will going deeper into the topic hashtags today.

Hashtags are a very simple way to reach more people on Instagram who are possible new

followers! But how many Hashtags you should use? Which Hashtags are the right one for your

profile? Let me help you with all those open questions you have. But first of all, let me shortly

show you, that I made my own experiences and don't talking bullsh*t to you. In the following

pictures you can the my insights of one of my recent posts. As you can see,1105 people

saw my post just because of my used Hashtags and I want to tell you how you can reach also that

much of people, maybe even more, just with some tricks!

FIRST: WHICH HASHTAGS TO USE

One huge mistake I see day by day is that people use Hashtags adapted to their post only.

That's not wrong at all but let me give you a little example.

If I would be interested in traveling, maybe I would search for Hashtags like #beach.

You have posted a pretty cool beach photo from your last trip and used this Hashtag (adapted

to your post) but actually you are a fashion blogger. I would maybe like your photo and go to

your profile, cause I want to see more about this beach or trip. But besides this one beach photo you

are actually posting fashion posts. I won't follow you cause you weren't what I was

searching for.

What I want to say is, that Hashtags shouldn't be adapt to your post only. Use a mix of

Hashtags which are adapt to your post AND your content generally. That's a great way to

use Hashtags for gaining followers who are really interested in your niche and content.

SECOND: HOW MANY HASHTAGS YOU

SHOULD USE

In part one I already told you: the more Hashtags you use, the higher the chance to be found by

people who are interested in your content. Instagam allows 30 Hashtags per post. My own

experiences is, that 22-27 Hashtags work the best. I wasn't pretty sure why, thats why I

googled it. Honestly I am not much smarter now, but it was interesting to see, that a lot

of people also recommend this number of Hashtags.

I still don't know why this number of Hashtags is working so good,

but it dosn't matter as long as it works in my opinion. :D

Maybe you should just try it out for yourself and make your own experiences.

THIRD: WHAT HASHTAGS YOU SHOULD USE

First of all: Which topic your Hashtags are about, is specific for your profile and content. If you

are a fashion blogger, there are Hashtags like #ootd #outfitpost or #fashionista. Fitness people

will maybe use Hashtags like #gymlove #train or #fitfam. Let me now tell you

the secret of how reaching 1000 people with Hashtags only:

There is one way to reach a lot of user just through Hashtags, regardless of the number

of followers you have. The trick is to get in the "popular page" of your used Hashtags. How

it works? Easy. Depending on the number of likes you have on your posts, you should use

Hashtags in different "sizes". Which means, if you are a content creator with maybe 400 Likes on

each post, you should use mostly Hashtags with 100-300K posts. Why?

This Hashtag hasn't been used that much and it is easier to get on the popular page of this Hashtag.

Cause if we are honest to ourselves: Mostly we stick on

the popular page of the hashtag and scroll through those pictures instead of checking the

'recent' posts. That's why it is so important to get on the 'popular' page of the Hashtags we use.
I created a table, so it is easier for you to check which size of Hashtags

you should use, when you want to post next time.

That's it - my top three tips all about Hashtags! Try it out!

I am looking forward to hear if it works for you! ♥

If you have still some questions  or you want me to write about a specific part of Instagram and

the algorithm 2019, write a comment below! I will check it out. :)

INSTAGRAM ALGORITHM 2019 - HOW TO GET MORE LIKES, FOLLOWER & ENGANGEMENT | INSTAGRAM TIPS SERIES PART 1

"I hate the new Instagram Algorithm!" "I just recive a half of likes I've got a year ago with less

followers!" "It's not funny anymore, I want the old algorithm back!" 

Do you remember saying one of those sentences in the last three month? Guess everyone is talking

about it - the change of the Instagram Algorithm. Additionally seems like everybody is hating the

change and want the good, old timeline algorithm back. But this won't happen. So what can we do for

getting our good engagement back and still growing on Instagram, where it seems like growing isn't

possible anymore?

I will give you some short and easy tips, how you can still grow your account and getting more

likes and followers despite the new algorithm. But let me introduce myself shortly and why I should

think I can give you tips which really work.

For those who didn't know - my name is Vanessa and I worked besides my studies as a Social Media

Manager. This was way after I started my blog and Instagram Chanel. I also got that punch in my

face from Instagram, I also lost likes, follower and engagement. That was the moment I realised that

all my knowledge I had from my work wasn't enough for me to safe myself from the new algorithm.

I started to educate myself every evening (and sometimes while sitting in the university too lol). This

is now 3 month ago and I've learned a lot. Some informations and tips I already shared with my

friends and all were pretty thankful. So I thought - why not helping others with the same problem?

Thats why I am sitting here at 10pm and writing down all the sh*t I know, for you guys. :) 

Short disclaimer: I will start with some basics today and will go deeper into the algorithm with every

blog post the next weeks, because this topic is way too complex for just one post. So keep checking

my blog, I will post weekly (every monday) new stuff about the new instagram algorithm and

how it works.

Todays topic: 

HOW TO GET MORE LIKES ON INSTAGRAM

FIRST: REGULARITY

One of the most importent things is to post constantly. Which doesn't mean you have to post every

day! Of cause, this would be great, but what it meens is to post in regular intervals. Instagram will

'remember' if you are posting every 24h, 48h... That's important cause if Instagram is knowing, you

are posting in a specific interval, it could understand when you are activ and could optimise the time

your post will be shown to your audience. Additionally the more often you are posting, the more

often people could interact with your account and build a strong realtionship with it. I will talk more

about bulding a relationship to your audience in a new blogpost soon, cause this is definitely one of

THE most iportant things to do on Instagram.

SECOND: HASHTAGS

Guess everyone knows that hashtags could make a hudge difference! But how many hashtags do you

should use? This question is pretty torn on the internet - some experts say only 5 to 7 relevant

hashtags are necessary, others say you should use all possible 30 hashtags. In my opinion you should

use as much as you can. More hashtags = more people you can reach. BUT ATTENTION! If you

really want to use 30 hashtags, use still relevant ones for your profile and post. It's not conducive to

post for example a fashion post with general hashtags like #likeforlike or #love. It is pretty okay to

love the picture you are posting, but nobody will search for the hashtag #love to see an outfit post ;)

Some more hashtag tips and how you could find the perfect ones for your account will be topic of

the next blogpost on 05/20/19.

THIRD: TIME

Yes - it is still relevant when to post, even the timeline doesn't extist anymore. Why? Let me explain

it with an example. Maybe you post 10am in the morning and your audience will come online at

12am. Seems like not much time has passed. But if your audience will scroll through their feed, they

will first see posts which were posted maybe around 11:55, 11:48, 11:45. Cause Instagram is

thinking hose posts have maybe similar hashtags to yours, BUT they are newer and are more

relevant because of that. Try to figure out when your audience is online and try to post at this time.

If you don't have a business account on Instagram and you don't have instagram insights there are a

lot of apps which could help you to figure out, when the perfect time is for posting. My personal

recommendation is the app "When to post".

FOURTH: GEO TAG

Just a very simple option to reach more people in your city/country. Mark your location when

posting next time. It's like a special, very intense 31. Hashtag which brings you more traffic to your

post! Statistics say, that the Geo Tag brings around 30% more clicks to your picture, then pictures

without a geo tag! I absolutely recommend to try this out.

FIFTH: LIKING OLD COMMENTS

Last but not least - did you already thought about liking the comments of your LAST post after

posting a new picture? It's like a remeber to your audience that you still exist. Additionally you will

pop up in the notifications of your followers and because of that, some of them will check your

profile again and will see your new picture. More chances to get more likes fast, right? I tried this

out and really saw a difference!

Wow - writing down all this stuff was so much fun and I am looking forward to prepare the part two!

I really hope you enjoyed the first part of my Instagram tips series and I will see you again here on

my blog next monday when I will share more about HOW TO REACH THOUSAND PEOPLE

ONLY THROUGH HASHTAGS!

I really hope my tips will help you. Let me know if you think those tips are helpful and which do

you already use / which u want to try out!

FEMMELUXEFINERY HAUL - HONEST EXPERIENCE / REVIEW

'I have nothing to wear!'

I guess we all know this situation: standing in front of a wardrobe full of clothes but we have 

nothing really fresh and lit to wear. A lot of very cheap online stores promise to help: stylish new

pieces for like $10 or just a bit more. But could we trust those shops? I made the test.

Femmeluxefinery is an oline store which wrote me, they would love to work with me. I said yes.

Maybe cause I 'had nothing to wear'. Maybe cause I was curious to see how the pieces will look like

and how good or bad the quality would be. Here is my honest review.

SHIPPING

I am living in germany and all pieces arrived within one week, which is pretty okay I guess.

Additionally the pieces were packed in a plastic bag but didn't smell weired or looked creased.

QUALITY

First set - definitely not everybodys taste. But I love it! It is super compfy and stylish. Only 

problem: it's a bit see-through. Guess it's a 'probleme' you can handle - just wear nude underwear

and you are ready to go!

Second outfit I ordered were a co-ord with grey joggers and a grey cropped hoodie. I LOVE IT!

Quality is amazing, fabric is super soft and you can dress itt up or down. I really was surprised how

good this set fits. (btw checked the size guide of all of my prducts) Maybe nice to say: you can't tie

the joggers smaller, the ribbon is just decoration.

PRICE

Of cause, I had to pay nothing, because it was a collaboration, but I checked the prices and both sets

were like under $15! That's amazing for the quality I got.

CONCLUSION

I definitely  would order again, also without a collab. All pieces arrived fast and had a good price-

performance ratio. If you don't have something to wear now, I would rather check this shop out!
