In the 21st century, when Armenian women are juggling to combine the roles of successful professionals in their work environment and the caring nurturers in their families, there is one thing that they do for themselves as often as they can and that is pampering themselves by getting a manicure, a blow-dry or shop for self-care essentials. And I want to give you some ideas on how to experience it for yourself in Yerevan. Because, why not?
