The Perfect Mid-Week Getaway at Spa On The Square

Spa, Southlake, Texas, Getaway

A getaway doesn’t mean having to travel great distances or attending an extravagant event. Sometimes, we just need a little “me” time!

This past Tuesday, I had a great opportunity to visit the Spa On The Square in Southlake as part of a girls night out with a few local bloggers. How perfect is it to be able to getaway right after work, in the middle of the week and feel all the cares of the world lifted from your thoughts?! We all need this little slice of heaven?

The evening began by meeting the staff. Let me say, these ladies are amazing! Whatever the need they are friendly, personable, extremely knowledgeable regarding their specific area and make you feel right at home! They’re willing to accommodate every need and ensure that you will be taken care of 110%.

After the introductions, all of the fun began. The salon was all ours for the evening. We were provided a loose agenda showing what services we could enjoy including hair, nails, facials and massage. With a glass of chilled wine, we were set for the evening!

My first stop was nails. Besides being a full spa, medspa and salon, Spa On The Square also offers mini-sessions. If you’re short on time but still in need for that mani or pedi that you’ve been wanting or just want to swing in with one of your friends on a day of shopping, book a mini session! It’s the perfect mini-getaway to exhale and be pampered for a few minutes.

My second stop was with a massage with Linda. This was my favorite session. Relaxing and deep tissue massages are amazing but Linda also provides therapeutic massages (among many other options offered at the spa). She explained how my body works, holds tensions and how she helps to release them along with what the session would entail. She also provided tips on how I can improve my everyday living, especially working in a desk based enviornment.

My last session was a first for me, a microderm facial. I’ve been missing out! Amy provided a look at my skin, tips on how to help prevent those unwanted wrinkles later on down the road and skin care products. The microderm facial was relaxing and left my skin feeling absolutely wonderful. It was like a breath of fresh air!

Other sessions included hair. Here the stylists provided tips on cuts, colors and styling techniques such as how to boost volume or quick options for on the go or work functions.

At the close of the evening, we all received makeovers from the Jane Iredale line of cosmetics. These products felt so light on my skin, it felt as if I didn’t have any makeup on at all! We also received tips and information other products offered at the salon.

Honestly, I can’t wait to go back but I’m not sure what to book first! A massage? Facial? Perhaps I’ll just go for one of the fabulous packages offered – my birthday is coming up after all!

In appreciation for the upcoming school year, summer coming to a close and let’s face it, we all need a little getaway, Spa On The Square is offering all of our readers a 20% discount on any service!

It’s hard to believe but fall is right around the corner. With the cooler air and changing of the leaves we’ll soon find ourselves outside enjoying the foliage via the roadways, waterways or even hiking on the trails. Now is the perfect time to become prepared and find those perfect pair of hiking boots to enjoy it as much as we can.

It’s always important to take note what we’re putting on our feet, especially if we’re going to be challenging ourselves with a good hike. I’m a fan of day hikes and there’s no telling what kind of terrain I’ll be covering (dry, wet, rocky or just dirt) depending on if I’m in Texas or Vermont. My needs require light weight, versatility and definitely waterproofing. Lucky for me, these LOWA boots were perfect!

LOWA Renegade GTX is the “most award winning boot” designed by LOWA. Nubuk leather, waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX, climate controlled footbed (no blisters!) and incredibly light weight. So lightweight that I forget that I had hiking boots on my feet. The best part – there isn’t a break in period. Put them on and go! The style is perfect and this color leather was my favorite choice.

Tips for picking out hiking boots:

Match your goals. Choose a boots that’s particular to your ambitions – day hiking, long trek, etc.
Length: Toes should wiggle. Pay particular attention to the length of the boot.
Width: Your foot should not move from side to side although it should not be tight or compressed from the sides. Comfort is key.
Key: On a flat surface, thumbs width at your toes, room to slip one finger in behind heel.
Try to avoid cotton socks as these will absorb sweat/moisture and in turn cause blisters. Try on with appropriate socks.
Research boot cut, boot materials and sole content to ensure the boot picked is appropriate for your ambitions. There’s a ton of sites online that will assist with this step.
