Yes...it's exactly what you are thinking...that is if you are thinking of the newest bars in town. Oh wait!! As much as Miss Me and I LOOOOOVEEEE ourselves a good Champagne or 5...

We are talking about a whole other type of bar. The kind of bar that makes us look and feel beautiful with out having to make use of Beer and Vodka Goggles *The "beer goggles" are considered to have distorted the "wearer's" vision, making unattractive people appear beautiful, or at least passably attractive.*
In LaLa Land and a few other major cities in the US, beauty bars are popping up everywhere. They promise total beauty in no time flat and charge almost nothing for it...um hello? Did you read that right? Yup, you totally did!

There are 2 we can't get out of our heads (or wallets) They each have their own specialty so you know you're getting the best...I mean you wouldn't go to a hand surgeon for brain surgery right? Nail salons have been around for decades so it makes perfect sense why there would be shops popping up that do one thing and they do that one thing amazingly. Soooo you may have seen a few of our tweets lately drooling over The Dry Bar by uber mom, Alli Webb.

I know...we hate her too (in the best most adoring way of course) ...anywhoo.. The Dry Bar is amazeballs. You walk in to a salon so chic, so cute you would die to have designed it yourself or have it as your dream bathroom. Its filled with white marble, white chairs and shelves and sunshine yellow accents....DELISH!!!!!

It's visual perfection. Then $35 (or $40 for you NYC'rs) and 30 min later you walk out with perfect hair....

To say we are obsessed is an understatement. Yep...it totally is an indulgence but it's sooooo worth it! And for $35 for shiny, sexy hair in under 30 min?! Yes PLEASE!!! Nothing makes a new mom feel rejuvenated like gorge hair...ok... gorge hair and a nutella panini.

Oh, PS they are opening locations EVERYWHERE!!!Ok, so we found the next bar from Daily Candy and it was crazy love at first site. Its a super cute boudiour of a store that can take you from tired ol' gal to glam goddess in 30 flat. Introducing Blushington.

A makeup bar that just does that...make up! Finally...no more booking terrifying blind dates with your local MAC counter...walking in not knowing what is about to happen.

Blushington promises perfection and you can choose your look from their super cute menu. They also offer classes for new mommies on how to look gorge in 5 min!!!!! So have no fear ladies....Blushington and The Dry Bar are there to help you look like a hot piece of ass with not a lot of cash :) (and in no time flat ...we couldn't figure out a rhyme for that one)

Patience my young Jedi...patience.

In this crazy, fast, and sometimes hardened world we all need to take a deep breath and remember how lucky we are. Yes, there will be tough times that happen but there are amazing ones too. If we all just practice a little patience it will help us to recognize the good and teach a super valuable lesson for our little bunnies....

So take a deep breath....count to 10 or 100 if you have to look around you and smile....

Don't yell at the bad driver (or flip them the bird), try not to scream at the Target check out guy that takes his sweet annoying time checking you out while your baby cries in the basket, and what ever you do...DO NOT shake the speaker in the drive thru....yes it's loud and horrible but just don't...Oh and don't forget to kiss your sig other even when they are doing it wrong....

INSTEAD of the angry way....just get this from Knock Knock...

It's 50% passive aggressive but 1000000% AMAZEBALLS!!!!

Its filled with pages and pages of citations for human violations! Just think...the A--hole who parks so close to you that you cant get the car seat in...he gets one too!

Dedicated Post- Decor por Favor- Toy Storage (good idea Ivy!)

Well...well...well...here it is our premier officier post and it's a goodie! One of us is about to need this post and the other has already perfected it! (Trust...I am shocked with how gorge her abode still is after 3 chunkies running wild in there).

It's hard enough to get your home looking as chic as chic can get and then once a bunny pops out and starts running about it's even harder to keep it that way!

So let's do it...let's find some rad and fun ways to store the rad and fun things...

So we are dying for anything acrylic right now...and have been for a while...you may remember this??!?!? And it got us thinking when I was designing my nursery...why don't I show off the fun stuff? Like messy, cute, bright art?

And how amazing would a living room look with a gorge lucite trunk stuffed with toys???? So cute! I mean you can not pretend that the bunnies aren't there...just embrace it!

PS TOTALLY STEALING THIS IDEA!!!!!

Now here are 4 white credenzas (i think they are really just side boards or cupboards but credenzas sound waaaay cooler) They are super chic and easy ways to hide the mess....

Throw them behind a couch, on a wall...add a lamp, framed photos, flowers and accessories and no one will know your "dirty lil secret"

PS They dont have to be white...but baby brain makes colors a challenge :)

Remember the radness of the lucite trunk above? If thats not your bag o' fun what about a vintage inspired version to hide the toys?

PS The goddess that is Kelly Wearstler absolutely despises any toys laying about ....hmmmm we kinda likey....

How ever you hide them...make sure you do it in style!

Happy Fourth Moms and MTB!!!!

Well hello there! Welcome to All The Cool Moms....

This is a blog dedicated to YOU...the cool mom. The mom that is over pink lace and ruffles (unless they are combined with combat boots of course), the mom who can not stand yet another diaper bag that screams cutesy or just one that screams DIAPER BAG HERE!, the mom who dare not decal the babies nursery walls with pastel blocks or choo choo trains with faces on them....

Now don't get us wrong...ALL moms are amazing and cool...we have the hardest and most wonderful jobs in the world but some of us scream for a wee bit more...je nais se quoi..no?

We aim to bring you all the good stuff....from products to foods to the best sunscreens and even a cool stroller or 3....and definitely rad nursery design ideas...you want more? Just ask!

Now as you all know time is a super precious thing for us...I mean you are probably reading this because the little bunny decided to take a generous nap...right? So, forgive us if the posts aren't everyday or as long as you would like them to be...but we are super excited to be here! So WELCOME and stay tuned...
