Mani’s Best Friend

A much-needed massage can be a miracle, but when we really want to feel good from our fingers to our toes, it’s a mani/pedi combo that does the trick.

But how about feeling virtuous in addition to looking the part?  Get an eco-conscious mani/pedi  ($80) at Espace Nomad using totally vegan nail products by Sparitual.

We picked the vibrant Dreamsicle, a sweet fluorescent coral, to add a bit of pizzazz to our pinkies and pointers, and then relaxed in the soothing Indonesian-inspired environment. Knowing that the products were cruelty-free allowed us to enjoy our mid-day indulgence guilt-free.

Just don’t tell anyone about the burger we ate for lunch. —Jennifer Nachshen
