Okabashi: Wear. Re-wear. Recycle.
I purchased my first pair of Okabashi flip flops and I absolutely love them! They are the most comfortable thongs that I’ve ever worn. I noticed the comfort immediately and I didn’t want to take them off. I can’t wear flats because I need a little bit of an arch and heel for my feet. The Okabashi Splash flip flops give me everything I need, plus they are eco-friendly.
Okabashi sandals and shoes are made in Buford, GA using a zero-waste production process. Their products are made of Microplast, which is comfortable, durable, washable, vegan-friendly, and 100% recyclable – a feature combination that is extremely rare in the footwear industry. Their designs are based on the studies of reflexology, support, and proper body alignment. Okabashi is dedicated to overall wellness, delivering shoes that are both good for you and good for the planet.

These shoes are made from recycled carpet padding, recycled car/bike tires & inner-tubes, recycled plastics, recycled wool, natural crepe rubber, hemp, bamboo, cork, coconuts, organic cotton and recycled leather with a vegan option.

Almost Natural Nail Polish Remover
I really like the Almost Natural Nail Polish Remover by No Miss. I was hesitant at first, thinking it wouldn’t work. To my surprise it works rather well without harmful ingredients, no animal ingredients, or artificial colors and fragrances. It contains no acetone, no ethyl acetate, no harsh odors and all organic ingredients. It is gentle, non-drying and this moisturizing formula will reduce problems with brittle nails and remove your old polish naturally.
No-Miss has taken a New, Innovative, Young and Fresh way to market & manufacture cosmetics for the New Generation, using natural resources to develop non-chemical, non-cancerous products without harming the environment.
Almost Natural Nail Polish Remover by No Miss is cruelty free and smells like vanilla. You can find it on their website or look for it at your local store.
