So, as the clock strikes down and I head toward a few more years of spit-ups, poopy diapers and sleepless nights, I am starting to think about my beauty routine. Let's face it, in the first month or so after having a baby just having a shower is a luxury. So tell me how I am going to keep roots fresh, haircut trimmed, hands and feet smooth and polished? Lucie Porcher of Mum & Babe Salon has found the answer. At Mum & Babe Salon children are welcome. And not only are they welcome, the staff at the salon will look after your little ones while you look after yourself.

Valentine’s Day Indulgence at L’Hotel

I love L'Hotel in Saint Germain des Pres. I love its rich colors, dim lighting, and its old-world charm meets modern elegance feel.

Just having a cocktail in the small bar nestled amongst the bookcases is an experience to be had. So, when I think of a romantic Valentine's treat, I think of L'Hotel.
