Gone are the days of shoving embarrassing holiday photos in a drawer never to see them again. Whether its Instagram, Facebook or everything in between, you can’t hide from an onslaught of holiday photos that you cannot escape from. I bet you’re thinking – so, what’s the secret to selfie success? It’s the prep you do even before the presents are wrapped and the stockings are hung by the chimney with care…!
Don’t let a stain spoil the occasion
Get the kids to pick out their holiday outfits well before the festivities begin. Nobody likes to find a stain on their favourite outfit, or worse, notice it once a photo has been taken. Have them check for stains and spills and use Arm & Hammer Plus OxiClean 3-in-1 Power Paks to get the job done. OxiClean stain fighters help to remove stains, plus the formula freshens and deodorizes with the freshness of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda.
Keep up the good smile
Maintaining good oral health shouldn’t be reserved for the holidays. However, if you need to brush up (pun intended) on your smile, I suggest switching to the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Sonic Pro Pulse Brush. Can you believe that its brush removes two times more plaque than the regular, manual brush? That’s because its head spins around as you brush to reach back corners. When paired with Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Bright & Strong toothpaste, you’ve got a winning combo to strengthen and clean. And smile your best for that selfie, teeth showing!
Cut down on prep time
Beauty prep, that is. If you’re like me, that fabulous blow out only lasts a day before you need to rinse and repeat. Until now. Dry shampoo is the latest trick up my sleeve. I love Batiste Dry Shampoo — it instantly refreshes hair between washes by absorbing excess oil from the roots and leaving hair looking and smelling clean and fresh. Now I no longer stress when I’m running behind schedule and don’t have time for a full wash or styling session before heading out to visit the in-laws. Batiste Beautiful Brunette dry shampoo plus a hint of colour compliments medium, brunette and auburn hair tones. Genius!
What is your best selfie story? I think I’ve taken some pretty fun selfies at Disney World, though to be honest I have some great ones where my labradoodle has photobombed them too.
If anyone makes me do a selfie, I automatically make a funny face.
great tips! i have actually been looking for a great dry shampoo (even better with a hint of colour)! 🙂
I don’t really have a story but I think it’s hilarious that my son would ask for selfies when he was only two! Definitely not something he learned from his parents!
I always look terrible in selfies,I haven’t figured out how to make them look good.
I really don’t like selfies. The best one is with my daughter in Montreal on Mount Royal.
My best selfie story would be the 100 million selfies of my step daughter on my phone.
I’m useless at taking selfies, though I must admit my phone doesn’t take good photos, sigh. I do have the Batiste Dry Shampoo in my bathroom, haven’t tried it as yet though.
I am not very good at selfies, maybe your tips will help me!
I take terrible selfies so I appreciate any tips like these that may make even a slight improvement in mine :).
I don’t think I have ever taken a selfie of myself. I really don’t like my picture taken unless its one I don’t know is being taken. It is always more natural looking that way. At least for me it is.
Not sure of any stories when I’ve done selfies, but most of my selfies are with one of my kids. My younger two especially love when we play with filters on Snapchat 🙂
I’m bad at selfies, but combed hair goes a long ways.
Not my specialty! but I will keep these tips in mind!
Not a big one on selfies, really never like how they turn out so I just try to avoid doing them.
Going on bike trips just me & my husband, there is usually no one around to snap a photo of us so we usually take selfies lol
I want to get one of those annoying selfie sticks so I can do photos of my kids – with me in them.
My kids love doing selfies…and to be honest they usually take up the entire picture! hahahaha…but who doesn’t love a great selfie?
I like your tips!
Great tips! I don’t take selfies very often and when I do I usually have the funniest expression on my face.
My best selfie ever looks like a professional photograph. A makeup artist and stylist did my hair and makeup for my sisters wedding. I then took a selfie and the lighting was perfect. I got the most likes I have ever gotten on a selfie. Everyone told me it looked like it could be an ad for Holt Renfrew. No clue how I did it.
I really have not taken any selfies. I don’t like having my picture taken as I never look good in them.
awesome tips. I would also add practise lots of relaxed and happy faces (don’t want it to look forced) and the right camera angles that work for you
Thanks for the tips! I’m not a huge selfie person as I don’t have a camera on my phone!
Great tips! Thank you.
I love Arm & Hammer sensitive toothpaste. It’s affordable and it works. Hopefully Santa will bring me an Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Sonic Pro Pulse Brush.
Great tips! Thank you.
Years ago I had a polaroid instant camera that I used to take selfies with, although back then taking pics of yourself wasn’t coined as selfies
I don’t really take selfies, but I do love to laugh at the ones from my kids!
I love selfies with my kids – they make the photos so much better every time!
I suck at selfies – my finger can never quite reach the button so every picture has me squinting or pulling a weird face with the effort/concentration to get the darn thing to take!
My problem with selfies is the photobombing 6-year-old – it’s the only time he likes pictures nowadays!
I love taking selfies, especially with my boys. The funny ones are usually taken at the beach in the summer.
I am hopeless with selfies so appreciated this post!
My daughter is a pro at Selfies…typical teenage girl!!
I live talking selfies with my kids I don’t post them often but when having a bad day i just open my photos on my phone and it makes the day better
I can never take good selfies. I always end up looking horrible
My daughter & I enjoy taking selfies with Snapchat to make them interesting & hilarious!
