There are many possible health risks due to potentially ignored sanitary practices at nail salons such as fungi, bacteria and disease. I recently discovered a great solution called PediPack so now I can bring all of my own tools to my nail appointments.

Going Green Tip of the Month
|
|
Stop Ants! Natural deterrents to ants include dry Cream of Wheat, which they cannot digest and is lethal to them, as well as powdered borax mixed with maple syrup (don’t use the latter if you have children or pets). If the aim simply is to deter, but not kill, then sprinkle the substances they don’t like to cross, such as ground black pepper, chalk, or cinnamon, near doors. Source: CAR Newsletter
