Did You Know? We love the look of a fresh mani — but not all the harmful chemicals in nail polish remover. Watch out for toluene, ethyl acetate and methanol, and while acetone isn’t all that great either, it’s actually your best bet. Just limit your exposure to twice a month — and rehydrate your nails with vitamin E and essential oils before adding a new coat of polish.[Swirled]

Travel

Losing your passport sounds like the worst travel nightmare, so know what to do just in case it happens to you. Call the local U.S. embassy (find the number before you travel), give a photocopy of your passport to a family member who will be in the U.S. and bring a copy with you and stash it somewhere safe. Finally, be sure to carry a secondary I.D. when you travel, like a driver’s license or other government-issued I.D. That’s one more level of proof that you’re you. [Swirled]
