Mischo Beauty Nail Polish
Amazon
Want to add a vibrant pop of color to your nails? Check out Micho Beauty. While pregnant, founder Kitiya Mischo King had difficulty finding harmless, non-toxic nail polish, so she created her own. All the brands' nail lacquers are vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, gluten-free, void of artificial fragrances. Plus, they are 10-free, which means the formula doesn’t have 10 of the most common (and sometimes controversial) chemicals in old-school polishes.
Take Off Luggage 18-Inch Personal Item
Amazon
Stephen Davis created a compact suitcase so travelers don’t have to use the overhead storage space on planes — and avoid paying extra airline fees. This clever bag may look like any other carry-on, but it has wheels that pop off with a push of a button so you can stow it under your seat, turning it into a personal item. The luggage also has an innovative interior design with zipper storage on one side, elastic straps on the other, plus a TSA-friendly lock and sturdy handles on the sides.
54 Thrones Big African Beauty Butter
Credo Beauty
If harsh winter air is causing your skin to dry out, this shea butter by 54 Thrones could remedy the situation. Based on Christina Tegbe's Nigerian upbringing, the brand promotes natural beauty through nourishing skin. The Nigerian shea butter is designed to protect and regenerate the skin, and all of its ingredients, including vitamins A and E, are sourced ethically from African cooperatives and artisans.
Harlem Candle Company Lady Day Luxury Candle
Harlem Candle Company
This Harlem-based company has been shining a luxury light on the candle industry since 2014. Founder Teri Johnson combined her love for fragrance, jazz, and the vibrant spirit of Harlem, and turned these passions into a brand that designs luxury scented candles and home fragrance products.
The Lady Day candle is inspired by iconic singer Billie Holiday, and its scent is a combination of white gardenia, coffee flower, and neroli blossom, which is the flower Holiday wore in her hair during live performances. This double-wick candle provides a clean, even burn lasting more than 80 hours.
