There's nothing like the feeling of a fresh manicure — be it regular, gel, SNS or another new nail technique on the market. You instantly feel refreshed and ready to take on the day (even if you haven't showered and are still in gym clothes). But the tricky part is ensuring that it remains in pristine condition — shiny, vibrant and chipless — for at least a few days. This isn't an easy feat, even with the most skilled nail technician at your service.
We're not going to pretend that disposable face wipes aren't one of the world's greatest gifts for lazy girls everywhere. We've ALL had those nights when a trip to the sink is just way too much effort and a quick swipe of a wipe is the only way we're going to get the makeup off our face. But ever think about where all those wipes go once you trash 'em? Yeah, it's a major no-no for the environment. So, in the interest of doing right by Mother Earth, you can easily clean up your act — and yes, your face, too — with a more eco-friendly alternative.

If you're looking for something a tad richer, opt for olives, smoky teals, blackish purples and browns with a touch of sparkle. And it's never too early to indulge in a little pumpkin spice.
Skin care and cosmetic brands are all going organic these days — in fact, many of the most popular products of the moment are natural. Of course, we're all for the move towards natural products in general, but here's the thing: it can be somewhat misleading. Just because something's labeled "natural" doesn't automatically mean it's safe for you. You still have to check whether the product has potential irritants that can cause your skin to react adversely. And since every skin type is different, some ingredients may be more tolerable to you than others.
