V Spa Dallas Nails It!
As a mom my family always comes first, my needs are last and though I am not full of regret, I still don’t get a good pampering often enough. Moms need to recharge, and I have secret for you. Tucked in the back of the Hilton Anatole is the V Spa Dallas. This state-of-the-art spa offers facials, massages and nail service. Hilton Anatole offered me a spa pedicure and manicure at the V Spa Dallas, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Beware of add-on treatments, such as paraffin, which helps moisturize your feet and hands. It costs extra, BUT if it is the hot season, it is well worth it. 🙂…

Once you get past the main entry plaza — and if you have young kids, good luck with that, as its dancing fountain is a natural attraction — choosing what to see next can be a bit challenging.Every area in the garden is…

Got a Whole Lotta Love for Bread Zeppelin
Have you ever heard of a soup bowl? How about a salad bowl? If you haven’t, then you NEED to drive out to Irving and try Bread Zeppelin. From the first bite, your tastebuds will have fun with this fresh and fabulous elevated salad! Wraps are cumbersome, and they fall apart.  Bread Zeppelin understand this, and they came up with the idea of the “zeppelin”: something with a rigid exterior but that was light – like a sub roll but not so bready, an effect they achieve by using Empire Baking Company baguettes in which the center get cored out. It similar to other fast-casual concepts such as Chipotle or Salata, with a line…
