nail polish

This week the Bayers are thrilled to welcome Everclear frontman, Art Alexakis! You may know Art from such hits as "Santa Monica" or "Father of Mine," but did you know his tour rider includes throwbacks like Merit Cigarettes and Certs? We'll get into that PLUS we talk about our range of experiences at the major-life events that are High School Reunions, what Art was like as an adolescent and why Everclear only played one song when they appeared on "Saturday Night Live." Art and Jonah also commiserate about how they can't let go of the slim clothing trend and Vanessa talks about why she encourages students to take home organic almond butter from her dressing room- it's expensive! Finally, in a rousing game of YES/NO-STALGIA, we debate the merits of bringing back Pac Man, Taco Bell's Beefy Crunch Burrito, and perhaps most controversially, pour-over coffee. Believe us when we say that this episode of the podcast truly is everything to everyone. Don't forget to pick up Everclear's latest album "Live At The Whiskey A Go Go," which is available now!

Weekly mani-pedis are a beloved routine for so many women. That's probably why nail polish is the most requested addition to my Toxin-Free Shopping Guide. While I pretty much always have clear, untouched nails, my daughter loves a manicure. So you can thank her for her contribution to the shopping guides newest category: Nail Polish. 

Unfortunately, a completely, 100% toxin-free nail polish does not exist and it probably never will. Why? Because nail polish is paint. And paint requires certain ingredients like structure inducing polymers to make them function properly.

So while I’m never going to parade these products as 100% safe, what I can share with you are safer alternatives. Because here's the thing, I am never going to judge anyone for conscious consumption. If getting your nails done brings you joy, you should keep getting your nails done. But hopefully, by the end of this episode, you'll feel empowered to try some clean-er options.

In this episode, I discuss: 

• Why no nail polish is 100% toxin-free
• Specific ingredients to avoid 
• The dangers of the UV lamps used in gel mani/pedis 
• My recommendations for safer alternatives 

Products mentioned in episode:

• BKIND
• Cote (a few shades do have Benzophenone-1, so read the label)
• Kapa Nui
• Dry Dazzle (a cleaner gel salon option)

Check out the full list of clean-er nail polish options here.

Mary Lennon sought to change the nail polish and salon experience from tedious and toxic to elegant and clean. She founded Cote nails with her business partner and friend Leah Yari in Los Angeles to create a nail polish line free of harmful ingredients and allergens and a salon experience that was fresh and enjoyable. We sat down with Mary to learn how they started, funded, and continued to grow in the clean beauty industry. She talks us through finding your niche, developing both BTB and online businesses and how to thrive with the perfect business partner.

A person’s car can mean a lot of things to them.  Transportation, status symbol, investment and more.  I used to work in the auto industry and loved it.  Here I learned the ins and outs about cars.  Over my lifetime I have owned many cars.  Some better than others.  This is an homage to all of them.  

In this bonus episode, Brooke and Alicia chat to Anna Ross from Kester Black. Anna discusses who she bounces business ideas off and the rigorous process companies have to go through to become B Corp certified.

In this episode, Heather chats with one of her most fashion-forward friends, Jessica.  They recorded at the start of the COVID-19 scare so things have changed a bit in such a short time!

Jessica shares about her career thus far in both large and small companies, impressions in her industry, and her passions which include bees, food, and wine.  She loves to travel under normal circumstances and hopes to get back out there soon!

Every person, every situation, every background, every tradition, etc. usually come with a misconception. We live in a world where we always have to pivot, explain, or even try to not be judgemental because we never know what each person is actually going through. Dr. Jen Welter is this week's Hello Beauty guest. As the first female to coach in the NFL, she definitely is no stranger to misconceptions. These misconceptions are used to box and limit people's actual capabilities and skillset.  Even after hearing that she's too small to play professional Tennis, being homeless, and getting out of an emotionally abusive relationship, none of these stopped Jen in pursuing greatness. She continued her path to greatness by taking on the challenge as the first female to coach in the NFL, author a book called "Play Big: Lessons in Being Limitless from the First Woman to Coach in the NFL", and even break into the beauty industry by having a nail polish collaboration with Orly called Kick Glass.

This episode is not only filled with incredible motivation to help you to keep going and breaking that glass ceiling in all industries, but Jen also gets candid with her favorite beauty treatments and products. You will learn how she is impressively knowledgeable on the types of makeup that has been tried and tested by her, the style of eye makeup she likes applying, and the skincare treatments that allow her to look flawless in the field, sidelines, and on stage. She shares her go-to makeup products and mentions the exact skincare treatments she gets regularly along with the specific people she goes to. Find out how the collaboration with Orly happened and the story on how she created the Kick Glass line. This episode is filled with so much powerful inspiring nuggets of wisdom about life and overcoming fear, and is also filled with Jen's contagious great personality. She definitely made me laugh throughout the episode!

Tal clarifies the term "non-toxic" and why ORLY will never claim it to be as that.
