Pregnant women need more pampering than ever. The awkwardness of the additional weight, the changes in your skin and hair, the little aches and pains here and there... wouldn't it be great to just head to the nearest salon to relax and get some extra TLC?

Unfortunately, not all salons are safe for pregnant women. Some hair salons already smell so nauseating when you come in, I'm sure there are toxic stuff in there that can't be good for you and your baby!

Lucky are those in the vicinity of Atlanta, for there is The Aviary, which offers both a sexy and safe variety of makeup, hair, skin and massage services . Aviary definitely speaks to pregnant women because each service offered is natural or organic - even hair color. Hair color is one of the biggest beauty concerns for expectant women since some fear too many chemicals may be absorbed through the skin. The Organic Color Systems line is actually 100% ammonia free whereas most other all-natural or organic lines actually have some level of ammonia. Across the board, all hair and skin products at Aviary are paraben free, free of artificial fragrance, dyes, filler, toluene, formaldehyde, amongst other potentially toxic ingredients.

And how about massage? How can one turn down an offer of a good knead from a knowledgeable therapist to relieve those sore leg muscles, sciatica pains, lower back aches, etc? If you live in Atlanta (or perhaps a pregnant friend does?), check out The Aviary's menu of services (pdf) and book a rejuvenating treatment for you or a friend!
