Mineral Fusion Nail Polish 
-CJ, Supervisor
Galaxy, amethyst, and blossom, oh my! And that is just to name a few of the forty-five Mineral Fusion nail polishes. This brand is top notch when it comes to Organic, mineral based nail polishes. Not only does the polish last and have outrageously amazing colors, it nourishes your nails while you wear it. I have to say personally this is one nail polish I love to wear because of its nourishing properties. Theses great polishes are formaldehyde free, toluene free, hypoallergenic, gluten free, talc free, and much more! For someone like me with skin sensitivities it is very important that I use only top of the line products that are free of harmful chemicals. In addition to being great for your nails and free of all these major chemicals, they are never tested on animals! For an avid animal lover, this is a HUGE bonus! Try any one of the colors, or you could use my personal favorite, Galaxy. 


Gardein Golden Fishless Fillets 
-Claudia, Head Buyer
I have recently discovered Gardein’s vegan meat substitutes and though this company is  the new kid on the block, it seems to be a real winner.  Gardein make wonderful burgers for vegans and people who are just trying to avoid cholesterol in their diet.  And now this innovative company has come up with something completely new for the vegan menu, fishless fillets!  These fillets cook up just like their ocean-dwelling counterparts. When baked in the oven, the coating crisps up, and the center is moist and tasty.   The white center is nice a flaky.  They even contain algae oil, a plant source of omega 3 DHA and EPA.  And best of all they’re 100% cruelty-free and kind to our ocean friends!
