Facelogic: "Purely Affordable"
After watching Hilary Kennedy‘s Weekly Fashion Update featuring Facelogic, I thought I should check out this really “affordable” spa. I was escorted to private room by Kelly Bertrand, a skincare therapist, where a zero gravity chair awaits. If you haven’t sat on one, oh my! Zero gravity chairs takes the pressure off of your lower back. I was absolutely amazed at not only the quality of the facial, but the various options based on your skin type that was offered with a price that is “purely affordable!” Cost is a common reason that prevents women from having regular facials.Getting regular facials is actually one of the secrets to having healthy, youthful…

Bravo’s Top Chefs Must-Have Ingredients
Last night, I was the host and provided commentary on a “Quickfire Challenge” between Top Chef Season 7 contestants Tiffany Derry & Ed Cotton to benefit Dallas Furniture Bank. If you are not familiar with Bravo’s Top Chef, a Quickfire Challenge is where the chefs must create a seafood dish in 20-minutes.

Chef Tiffany Derry always has on hand dijon, creole mustard, champagne vinegar, kosher salt and Creole seasoning. Chef Ed Cotton focuses more on the big picture…

Boho Influences Spring Trends
Last night PinkMemo hosted “The Front Row: Trend Event – Boho Chic” at Neiman Marcus’ flagship store in Downtown Dallas. Almost Famous meets Jane Austen is this Spring 2011 trend, where ruffles and lace join forces with sequins and shells for a fresh take on the sometimes over-played boho chic. PinkMemo described the Spring 2011 to be “brilliant coral, soothing white and tres chic stripes.”I was definitely taken back by how much coral, tangerine and other shades of orange were being displayed. It was a refreshing contrast to this winter’s darker colors. I’m also excited to see the wide-leg pants coming back in style. The outfit to the left is a perfect picture…

Rosebud’s Restaurant Is Sweetness
Officially known as Rosebud’s Giftique & Bakery, the sweet little family-owned cafe was packed at lunch time when I decided to dine. The restaurant serves homemade soups, salads & sandwiches, and the bakery counter is full of freshly made brownies, cookies, cakes & ice box pies. There were a couple of regulars who told me that they love the “Turkey Reuben” and not to forget to enjoy a slice of fresh pie. I ordered “The Rosebud Plate,” which offers four finger sandwiches, a cup of soup, deli salad, fresh fruit salad and a choice of dessert or truffle. I really enjoyed Brian’s Special Chicken Salad which included red grapes, pineapples, dried cranberries and…
