While I truly believe in keeping children young and innocent as long as possible, I think sharing my beauty routine with the little lady is natural…when she wants to wear lipstick, I let her wear organic lib balm (I love the Brooklyn-based brand SW Basics, they make fun flavors of organic lip balm).
Like me, she loves to have her nails painted. Planning a little afternoon mommy-daughter date at the nail salon is so fun and it is amazing how mature she looks sitting in a chair getting her toenails painted. The ladies at the salon were just dying over her, and so was I. I let her pick her colors at home ahead of time because I only like to use child-safe nail polish on her. Some great non-toxic nail polish brands are: Piggy Paint, Hopscotch Kids, and Eco-Princess.
