Picking the right finish for your nails can be quite the task. Pretty tips can make or break an outfit, double as an accessory and even show off your personality in a small (or big) way. The choices are endless too—you can go long or short, bold or minimalistic, keep in tune with the current trends or pick a design that’s symbolic to just you. Strong claws act as the best canvas for painting and gemstone embellishments, but we aren’t all blessed with long, healthy nails.

Stand out in the crowd while wearing something as cozy as possible? Double win.

For the coworker in your life who never takes a lunch break and is always glued to their computer, here’s a little push for them to get their butt outside. Gone for Lunch: 52 Things to Do in Your Lunch Break by Laura Archer gives you plenty of fun and creative ideas for how to spend your lunch. You could knit a scarf, write a novelette, visit a local gallery–the possibilities are endless.

The nail industry is trying to shake off its toxic image, and that means upgrading polish to ensure it’s cruelty-free, eco-friendly and vegan. Yep, even the beauty industry is turning vegan.

If you towel-dry your hair, this microfiber wrap speeds up the process and makes it so much more enjoyable. Instead of heavy, root-tugging fabric, the silky-smooth material is lightweight, dries hair fast, and won’t damage strands. It also secures into the built-in loop so it stays on while you go about your beauty routine. You even get a free detangling brush.
