Ever wonder what effect your mani-pedi might have on your body, your nail tech, or the environment? Us too! This episode we discuss the health and environmental impacts of nail products and the process of getting your nails done. We discuss our personal habits when it comes to nail salons, and some options for creating a healthier or more sustainable manicure experience. In terms of how viable some of those options are (like bringing your own tools to a nail salon…) we MAY not be the first ones raising our (well-manicured) hands. BUT, learning about what options are available is the first step to making changes. We discuss how to look for an ethical nail salon and find non-toxic, body and environmentally-friendly products, and ponder some questions re: health and nails. Why do we have nails? Do they ever recover completely, even when taking a break from products/treatments? (We slightly digress to talk about a recent negative yoga experience — if you’re not interested, skip from 11 min to 19 min where we pick back up on nails!) Lastly, we take a BuzzFeed quiz to lighten the mood, and find out what non-dairy milk we are. Love you all, happy Spooky Szn and as always, let us know what episodes you want to hear next! @passthecompassion on instagram, xoxo
