    Summer at the Spa

    Pamper yourself with summer services at our favorite Dallas spas

    With the arrival of summer comes a desire to escape the heat — and treat yourself. And there's no better (or cooler) retreat than a spa, where you can indulge in a facial, massage or full day of services that will have leave you looking and feeling refreshed and radiant.

    Below is a list of special spa treatments available only this summer.

    Hiatus Spa + Retreat
    This Lover Lane gem is offering myriad summer specials. Two packages run all summer: the Summer Two Step, which includes two essential treatments (mani-pedi, body wrap, facial, massage or body glow) and two add-on services, and H-Circle Summer Love, for members to bring a friend to enjoy membership prices. Hiatus also is doing monthly retreats — Watermelon Crush in July, Key Lime Pie in August, and Firefly in September — which include massages, scrubs, wraps and a tasty drink. Monthly retreats are 80 minutes long and cost $195.

    Mokara Spa
    Treat yourself to a mini-getaway at the Omni Dallas Mokara Spa. The bamboo massage, available only during the month of July, incorporates hot stones, oil and bamboo sticks to help you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Make a day of it with a bamboo massage, mani-pedi and blowout.

    The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Dallas
    Pamper yourself at this ritzy spa with a vitamin C facial that revives sun-damaged skin and stimulates collagen production for firmness. The treatment includes a citrus peel that revitalizes your skin with essential vitamins and nutrients. The 50-minute facial is only available through September for $165.

    Spa at the Crescent
    Indulge in the Mediterranean Journey, a complete body experience inspired by Moroccan hamams (baths) and the Mediterranean Sea. The $175 treatment includes an aromatic dry brush and body buff; ginger, lavender and geranium-infused scalp massage and hair treatment; and a body butter hydration massage.

    Spa at the Four Seasons Resort and Club
    This summer at the Four Seasons, it's all about fresh scents and feeling good. The Las Colinas Summer massage ($140-$190) is the standard custom massage (Swedish, therapeutic or deep tissue) with scented papaya oil for a refreshing seasonal twist. The Watermelon-Basil Pink Moon pedicure ($85) — which incorporates products from FarmHouse Fresh in Frisco — includes a citrus-cilantro foot soak, watermelon-basil vodkatini scrub (made with Square One vodka) and Pink Moon shea butter foot massage.

    Spa at the Stoneleigh
    Can't bring yourself to go the gym but still desire that bikini bod? Then take the easy way out and shape up with the Ground to Perfection silhouette treatment ($180) that involves a massage technique and special products to tone and tighten. Opt for the 80-minute service, which includes a body scrub made with Illy coffee grounds.

    V Spa
    Through September 2, V Spa at the Hilton Anatole is offering three 50-minute summer specials: citrus mojito body glow, $105; pineapple colada facial, $100; and strawberry margarita mani-pedi, $50 each. Schedule your cocktail-inspired treatment on weekdays between 3 and 7 pm to receive 25 percent off your service.

    ZaSpa
    Hotel ZaZa is celebrating its 10th anniversary all year long, with a menu of spa services that includes the Morning After scrub and wrap, Dr. Love facial and Have No Mercy deep tissue massage. Even better are the poolside spa services so you can continue to enjoy the outdoors. The Cabana Cool Out massage begins at $150 for 50 minutes; a poolside mani is $45, and a poolside pedi is $70. If you prefer your spa treatments indoors, you can opt to chill out by the pool post-treatment.

    ZaSpa is offering a special 10-year anniversary spa menu all summer long.

    Dallas animal shelter invites residents to host a pet during holiday

    Dallas Animal Services (DAS) is inviting the community to help bring pets “Home for the Holidays” by adopting or fostering during one of the shelter’s busiest times of the year.

    DAS has achieved strong positive outcomes this quarter, including adoptions, foster-to-adopt placements, and underage foster placements, with 1,377 in October and 1,378 in November. The department is now working toward a December goal of 1,400 positive outcomes, with 588 completed so far this month.

    “We are grateful for the support our community continues to show,” said Victoria Chittam Bennett, Assistant Director. “Every adoption opens a kennel for another pet in need, and the holidays are an especially meaningful time to welcome a new companion.”

    This season, adopters will also have the chance to participate in the Friends of Dallas Animal Services (FODAS) 12 Days of Holiday Giveaways, fully funded and supported through donations from generous community supporters. For more information about this initiative, visit friendsofdas.org and watch out for announcements on social media.

    Holiday staycations
    Residents who may not be ready to adopt can still support DAS pets by participating in Silent Night Holiday Staycations, a short-term foster opportunity that gives dogs a relaxing break from the shelter during the holiday period.

    Pickup dates are scheduled for December 20-21, with drop-off options on December 27-28 or January 3-4. Participants typically spend 1-3 hours at the shelter selecting a foster match, and contact with pets outside the home should be limited. Questions may be directed to DASFtA@dallas.gov.

    “Holiday Staycations allow our dogs to decompress and show their personalities in a home environment,” said Amanda Earl, Assistant Director. “The insight we receive from these foster stays is invaluable in helping pets find permanent homes.”

    DAS encourages the community to adopt, foster, volunteer, or share adoptable pets to help meet December’s lifesaving goals.
    “Together, we can bring home the holidays for the pets relying on us,” said Director Paul Ramon.

    For more information on adoptable pets, holiday programs, or ways to get involved, visit https://bedallas90.org/ or stop by the DAS Shelter at 1818 N. Westmoreland Rd.
