I want to start by apologizing. this episode was supposed to come out last week, but my computer had other ideas and I was not able to get it out on time. Additionally (you can tell I was clearly not altogether for this episode) I forgot to wear my microphone, so for the first 2/3rd of the episode, the sound me be off and I apologize. One of the challenges of doing the audio, recording and editing all your self :)

Today's episode highlights some of the dangers when it comes to using nail polish or having it applied when at a nail salon and the detrimental effects it can have on your body and overall health. If your self-care practice is one that could cause harm, is it really a practice to continue when it will only cause harm in the end?
