Beauty and the Beasts

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.

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.

“Le Rituel” by Christian Louboutin and Piper-Heidsieck
