    I can’t remeber which book I read – perhaps Ecoholic – but or maybe not just a pretty face – anyone one of the personal stories was about a model who went to the salon two of three times a week for a mani/pedi during her entire pregnancy – and of course her boy was born with gential defects………..it was a very intresting read.
