On November 18, Snif will drop a limited edition Prenup Candle featuring seductive notes of wet ink, vetiver and vanilla. "It's a scent that we've created together. The candle smells amazing and includes an 'ink accord' to capture the smell of wet ink. It's wrapped up in musk and vanilla so that the final result is really warm and beautiful," the couple tells PEOPLE. "We wanted to do a scent to celebrate the wedding and thought it would be a fun and playful way to address the typically 'taboo' topic of prenups," they add. Get ready to mark your calendars, because this Snif scent is sure to sell out soon. Buy It!

I've tried everything from keratin treatments which made my hair look like overcooked spaghetti to smoothing creams that reminded me of Crisco.

Mind Your Own Frizzness is a silicone-free blend of oils (argan, peach kernel, plum and more) that can be used on damp or dry hair. I tried it on a triple- H (hot, hazy, humid) day in the Northeast and am thrilled to report that my curls were noticeably smoother and shinier. Buy It!
