Start the day as you mean to go on and make sure you have a stylish day from start to finish. When making your reservation, let the spa concierge know where you live, and they will send a limousine with a private chauffeur to pick you up. Hong Kong Yummy Mummies need not miss out, as limousine pick ups will be arranged from the ferry pier. After you and your baby have zenned out at the spa, they will send you onto any destination in Macau for a spot of sightseeing or shopping.

Baby Shower Must Do's - Buy a dozen tiny white babygrows and some waterproof pens. Give one to each of the party guests and ask them to make their own designs. Head to the Lanes near H&M Central 香港中環利源西街 - As a Baby Shower is as much a celebration of friendship as anything, dig out lots of old pictures of the Yummy Mummy hanging with her pals in her wild single days as well as during pregnancy. - Head to a spa or salon and do manicures and pedicures. The MiraSpa has a circular shaped room which is very social for gatherings. - Gift certificates for post birth massages or indulgent body wraps are always welcome - Presents can either be useful, or just adorable. These smartly designed Laessig bags tick both boxes. They home a changing mat, an insulated place for warm drinks, AND your mobile and makeup. Cool! - Take lots of pictures and put them in an album for your Yummy Mummy ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… The Get-It Guide What you must buy this month: The Coconut Miracle by Bruce Fife on Amazon.
