Five Pretty Princesses All In A Row
These five princesses got the experience of their young lives when they were treated to a grown-up way to relax--a trip to the spa. Veronique’s Boutique recently started hosting "Princess Spa Parties" for little girls and teens. Veronica Wilson, the owner of Veronique’s Boutique, said the purpose of the spa parties is to make the girls feel good about themselves, network, build self-esteem, have fun and--more importantly--let them be girls. The princesses were treated to a light facial, mini-manicure, a foot spa and chair massage. They were also treated to healthy snacks, fruit juices and smoothies. The young ladies designed their own lip-gloss, decorated wands, dressed up in princess costumes and partook in a glamour photo session. For the complete story, read this week’s Community Journal.
