The chipped nails. The achy back. The soaring stress levels accompanied by every spilled cup of juice, last-minute science project and Thunderdome-worthy sibling face-off.
Mama, you need a spa day—stat.
But the truth is, sounds like your kiddo could probably use one, too. Why not schedule some self-care for you and your little one? Pull up your calendar and book a session at one of these five mommy and me spa experiences around Miami.
Where: 8101 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL
Where: Tucked away in the corner of this MiMo indoor playground is a cozy nail spa with comfy massage seats and glittery polishes where both mom and kiddo can get their mani/pedi on. The nail techs here know how to pamper and cater to little ones, so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the kneading coming from your spa chair knowing that your mini manicure buddy is in great hands. If your little spa buddy wraps their service before you’re done, let them explore the slides, ball pits and digital dance floor with a supervised play session. Yes, they’ll probably chip a nail…but you didn’t actually expect that to last beyond the trip back to the car, did you?,
