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. 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.

Teddy Bears, Teddy Bears, Everywhere Teddy Bears

I am not a baby, a child, or a teenager, I know !! But I love stuffed animals. They are soft, funny and friendly, so we can relive our childhood sometimes...I even have a hippopotamus, green with a gold ribbon that I bought a long time ago at Harrod's and I have, of course, Teddy Bears. And Teddy Bears have their own shop in the Marais, near the Place des Vosges: l'Ours du Marais.

Back to School in Bobo Chic Style

Back to school style shouldn’t have to be all mary-janes and bows . You wouldn’t dare send your child off to the first day of her new hip Montessori school looking overly styled. Instead, pull off a bobo style that looks effortlessly chic and cool.
