    Dallas spa dispenses fresh tips to spring clean your routine

    Spring is here, and that signals an annual ritual for many people — spring cleaning. Take time to refresh not only your home, but your self-care routine too.

    Vivian’s Boutique Spa at Ross and Greenville offers a fresh, nontoxic approach to manis, pedis, facials, and massages. Here are a few tips from spa owner and pampering expert Kristin Barton for a spring refresh:

    Keep it clean
    When was the last time you spruced up your skincare? New, natural innovations in skincare deliver effective results with all-natural ingredients, many of which are also organic or vegan.

    Jurlique, a botanically based “seed to skin” product line is featured in each of Vivian’s facial treatments. The company maintains its own farm and utilizes certified organic and biodynamic farming methods to grow and harvest ingredients used in its line of cleansers, serums, and moisturizers. Jurlique provides high-performing, naturally based skincare that’s good for your skin and the planet.

    Vivian's maintains its commitment to a nontoxic spa environment with nail services as well. Zoya, a “10-free” polish line, is free of toxic ingredients like formaldehyde and phthalates, and Vivian’s offers more than 50 Zoya shades for your mani or pedi. The vitamin-infused Orly brand and LED lights (instead of UV) are featured if you’re interested in gel nail services.

    Find seasonal opportunity
    Vivian’s likes to keep things fresh with new, seasonal treatments. This spring, everything’s coming up roses, as Vivian’s offers a Rose Quartz Massage, Rosy Glow Facial, and Sweet Cream and Rose Mani/Pedi.

    Rose quartz, known to promote balance and healing, is used in the Rose Quartz Massage. Feel your muscles ease as vegan massage cream, infused with rosehip seed oil, nourishes skin and calms your senses. Rose quartz stones are used on troubled areas to release tension and stress.

    The Rosy Glow Facial includes a rosehip and macadamia oil cream mask to protect cells from environmental damage with essential fatty acids that balance and nourish your skin. An antioxidant-rich, replenishing serum made from rosa gallica flower extract addresses signs of dehydration and offers extended moisture to keep skin cushioned and radiant. A rose quartz stone-facial massage helps to increase circulation, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of puffiness and fine lines.

    Vivian’s has created its very own epsom salt and rose petal medley as part of the Sweet Cream and Rose Mani/Pedi. Soak away the stress of the day with this custom blend, then enjoy a vegan vitamin E-enriched sweet cream scrub to soften skin. Unwind as Jurlique’s Rose body lotion is massaged into your legs, feet, arms, and hands for a hydrating and beautifully-scented experience.

    Discover local gems
    Vivian’s is pleased to feature two local product lines as part of its spa services. FarmHouse Fresh, based out of McKinney, is a cruelty-free natural skincare line (many products are vegan and organic as well). Several of the deliciously scented bath bombs, scrubs, oils, and body creams are used in Vivian’s manis, pedis, and massages. Carrollton-based Jack Black is a men’s skincare line, and Vivian’s incorporates its serums, moisturizers, scrubs, and lotions into its selection of gentlemen’s facials, manicures, and pedicures.

    Celebrate with friends
    Spring can be a busy time of year for special occasions — graduations, baby showers, and weddings. Refresh your social calendar and create a relaxing experience for everyone with a spa day. Vivian’s is happy to host your special event with a fun afternoon of spa treatments for you and your family and friends. You can relax in fluffy robes, sip champagne, and enjoy time together in Vivian’s comfy, chic lounge. It’s the perfect way to celebrate new beginnings and cherished friends.

    Massive Goodwill store in Garland reopens as 2nd largest in the U.S.

    The Goodwill in Garland is the largest in Texas.

    A major expansion has made a Garland Goodwill store nearly the largest of its kind in the country. Goodwill Industries of Dallas officially reopened its "Broadway store," at 451 W. Interstate 30 #100, on April 30 after a major renovation. The new-and-improved store is twice its previous size.

    According to a release, at 31,000 square feet, the Broadway Store and Donation Center is now the largest Goodwill in Texas and the second largest in the U.S.

    The expansion will significantly boost inventory turnover. According to the organization, the store will introduce about 10,000 new items daily, including clothing, home goods, and accessories. At that pace, inventory cycles through the store roughly every four weeks, they say.

    “Our newly expanded Garland store sets the gold standard for Goodwill in Texas — not only as our largest location, but as our most operationally complex,” says Tim Heis, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Dallas, in the release. “Turning out 10,000 fresh items every single day requires a tremendous, coordinated effort behind the scenes to make sure our shelves are always stocked with new finds."

    The reopening comes amid "explosive growth" in the resale sector, Goodwill says. A 2024 report from ThredUp found that the U.S. secondhand market grew 11 percent in 2023 (growing seven times faster than the broader retail clothing sector) and is projected to reach $73 billion by 2028.

    “As consumers are increasingly turning to resale for its affordability, unique product variety, and positive environmental impact, the new Garland store redefines what’s possible — every visit promises one of the widest, most frequently refreshed selections anywhere in North Texas,” says Joel Ibanez, vice president, Donated Goods Retail.

    To support its larger retail footprint and meet demand, Goodwill Dallas has also expanded its donation network, they say, opening new Donation Express locations in Frisco, Plano, and Lantana in recent months and bringing the total number of donation drop off locations in North Texas to 52.

    The Garland store includes a drive-up donation center, and additional sites are in development across North Texas, they say.

    "Over the past two years, Goodwill Dallas has experienced record-breaking performance, earning recognition as the top performing Goodwill in the country for two consecutive years," they say in the release.
