It’s scary to think about some of the toxins lurking inside many widely available nail polishes, most notably: formaldehyde, the very substance morticians used to embalm corpses, which is a known human carcinogen; toluene, which is listed in California’s Proposition 45 as being toxic and linked to birth defects, cancer, and infertility; dibutyl phtalate (DBP), a plasticizer and solvent used for dyes that, when absorbed through the skin, could disrupt endocrine activity and enhance other chemicals’ ability to morph into mutagens, potentially leading to everything from liver and kidney failure to infertility.

What I Wore — Western-Flavored Weekend Style

celia-san-miguel-ootd-april-2-2016

My son celebrated his 12th birthday on Saturday, and my super awesome cousin Patricia helped me plan a whole day’s worth of surprise activities: a trip to a trampoline playground, a stop at an indoor arcade and bowling hall, lunch at a saloon-style restaurant, and a visit to a puppy shop where you could actually play with the puppies and pet them (so, basically, my son’s idea of heaven).

dolce-and-gabbana-dolce-rosa-excelsa-edp

When I think of the ever-expanding collection of Dolce & Gabbana Dolce perfumes, I picture Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana taking on the role of curators of a magnificent fragrance garden, drafting a landscape design that delineates where to plant each bloom, meticulously selecting seeds of both familiar and exotic flower species, testing the soil’s pH level, carefully deciding when the soil is ready and the season is optimal for planting a specific bloom, pulling weeds and mulching their flower beds, determining which decorative details to add (a cobblestone walkway here, a stone wall there, an idyllic pond with a wooden bridge to the far left, and so forth), and pruning blossoming flowers as needed — all while wearing the most stylish gloves and tool belts (think printed, lace-adorned, gem-encrusted, and adorned with three-dimensional resin flowers, something akin to the headphones they released for Spring 2015).
