RGB nails have no formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, camphor, formaldehyde…basically no harsh chemicals to hurt or ruin your nails…oh and its vegan, cruelty-free, gluten free and trade free! How awesome! The colors are so simple, but so rich, and the good thing about this brand is that it lasts twice as long as normal polish.

Kuumba Made is a company based in Tucson, Arizona, USA that specializes in nature derived perfume oils, bath and spa products. All herbs they use are grown on organic farms or wild harvested. The perfume I usually get is called Persian Garden. It does not smell like something Persian nor like a garden. It smells, for lack of a better analogy, like clean skin. Clean, soft, smooth smelling musk with a hint of mystery. There is a ton of scents to choose from. Its only $10, and can be found at Whole Foods or on their website.  Also on the website they give you little descriptions of what the each fragrance smells like before you buy it. Highly recommended.

Thierry Mugler Source – a state of the art fragrance fountain – allows customers the chance to refill their favorite perfumes instead of getting rid of their costly bottle after they run out. The newly redesigned source offers a sleek and high-tech service while saving 2,300,000 million bottles and cases each year. In addition to saving the environment, the Source can make an impact on your wallet as well, with savings of up to 40% with refillable perfumes.
