Pampered Princess

Marina is on spring break this week, so we decided to have some fun today. She decided to wear the dress she got for her birthday which has a matching dress for her American Girl doll, Julie. So, Julie came along with us. We went to her favorite salon and she got a haircut. She's wanted bangs for a while so, even though I don't like them, she got them. She kept exclaiming that they make her look younger. I don't think she liked that, she insists she wants to be older. After the cut, they styled her hair in a ponytail and added some glitter.

Next, we went to the American Girl store. Marina hadn't been here before and she was so excited. She picked out a bathing suit for Julie. When she saw the hair styling station, she wanted to get Julie's hair done. We asked the stylist to make it just like Marina's hair. She did. Marina was thrilled.

After lunch, we went to have manicures together. Marina had gotten a gift certificate for them for her birthday. She was so excited. She had hers done first. She was patient and kept very still during the process. She was very pleased with the sparkling pink polish she picked out. While my nails were done, Marina chatted with the owner of the salon as well as some other customers. She was so cute!
