Want to know what your breath smells like? Get a spoon, stick your tongue out & gently scrape it from the back to front, however don't stick it too far down. Let it dry a bit, now the ickky bit...smell it! It's the bacteria that smells. We all brush our teeth but do you always brush your tongue & floss? A peppermint oil capsule washed down with cold water,a hot drink will start to melt it. This keeps your breath smelling fresh all day. Moreover, the stronger the peppermint oil the longer it will last. Now, go blow someone a kiss!

I have to say I was sceptical of the peppermint oil but it really works. I don't have bad breath (check box A) but I work on a lot of face to face meetings and it doesn't hurt to be prepared. I would take Libelula's tip though and swallow the peppermint oil capsule with water - don't just dry swallow it. I had a nasty experience which will make sure I don't do that again in a hurry!
