Description

Start Ugly: The Unexpected Path to Everyday CreativityThe poet Goethe is credited as saying, "What you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it, and the work will be completed " If only it were that easy. In any creative effort, the beginning is the hard part, filled with fears and procrastinations, and often most of all the paralyzing desire to get it right on the first try (which almost never happens). Creativity is evolutionary; it begins with bad ideas

The poet Goethe is credited as saying, "What you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it, and the work will be completed "
If only it were that easy.
In any creative effort, the beginning is the hard part, filled with fears and procrastinations, and---often most of all-the paralyzing desire to get it right on the first try (which almost never happens). Creativity is evolutionary; it begins with bad ideas and crappy first efforts and the moment we embrace this idea, not eschewing the ugly beginnings but mining them for possibilities, our everyday creativity flourishes.
Start Ugly is a celebration of the messy creative process and a call to face the obstacles of that process with mindfulness and humanity. This is a book for anyone who has ever wished they were "more creative." It's a plea to stop looking for the muses and inspiration before you do your best work. Equal parts needed encouragement to dream big and practical advice for getting your hands dirty, START UGLY is a soulful, at times irreverent, reminder that creativity is more the stuff of hard work and courage than it is the stuff of magic. And if there is magic at all to be found, it's in starting.

Very good brush and system!
This toothbrush exceeded my expectations. The charging base is a well thought out system that includes a charging base, a cup for rinsing and a slot to sanitize your brush with UV light, and the kit also comes with 3 toothbrush heads to start with. The brush itself is powerful and makes my teeth feel really clean, almost like a professional cleaning at the dentist. The pink color is also super cute (a nice plus), and the price is very reasonable, especially if using the coupon for $29 that they run sometimes.

It works!
I tried these on my teenage son who has pretty yellow teeth after braces. You can’t really tell in pics but in person they made a difference. He hasn’t had any odd side effects or sore gums from using them and said they were easy to use. He wears them for the recommended amount of time although started lower the first time to make sure he wasn’t allergic or anything. But so far great product and we are happy with it!

Work about as well as drugstore brands.
These are at least as good as the national brands at a fraction of the cost. They stick on easily and used as directed will whiten your teeth a few shades over the course of treatment.
