Real Housewives of Dallas star bottles skincare elixirs that turn back time

SkinSpaMed founder and Real Housewives of Dallas star Marie Reyes is on a mission to make women beautiful, four little beauty products at a time. The former model and skincare expert is releasing the luxury skincare line RAGS2Riches.

RAGS stands for Retinol, Antioxidants, Growth Factor, and Sun Protection, which are the four pillars of the program and, according to Reyes, are designed to work together to even out skin tone, remove fine lines, improve texture, and stimulate collagen in the skin's subdermal layers. She’s so sure of the results, in fact, that she’s offering a 100 percent guarantee, or your money back.

“It took me over two years working with various manufacturers and compounding facilities to get the formulas right, and to test the products on real women so that we could show customers dramatic six-month before and after pictures and provide testimonials,” Reyes says. “If you follow my four-step process, and use the four products as directed, you will absolutely see dramatic improvements in your skin's appearance.”

In addition to owning medical spa and laser clinic SkinSpaMed, Reyes is a registered nurse and former model. Over the years, she created a skincare regimen for herself that was a combination of products from various manufacturers. She eventually decided to launch RAGS2Riches, though, after receiving so many inquiries from clients as to how she kept her skin in such good shape.

“My patients always asked me what I used at home to keep my skin looking great,” she says. “I told them about my skin care odyssey, and it dawned on me that I could offer my patients, and anyone else who wanted them, my four-product mix.”

The system consists of the Retinol Crème de la Crème, a retinol cream exfoliant designed to build collagen, accelerate cell turnover, and brighten skin; the Antioxidant Super-Charged Serum, designed to fight damaging free radicals and help prevent skin aging at a cellular level; the Growth Factor Peptide Rich Complex, which consists of more than 53 amino acids and works to prep the skin by renewing and replenishing it; and lastly, the Sun Defense Tinted SPF 31, an advanced anti-aging, anti-acne, pigment-reducing formula with intuitive color-correction technology.

The entire system can be purchased for $546, however products are sold individually. And if you're thinking of buying just one thing, go for the G — as in the Growth Factor.

“[In addition to the] 53 amino acids, it’s packed full of other medical-grade level ingredients that are scientifically proven to reduce the effects and appearance of aging in your skin. It is a time capsule in a bottle.”

Goodwill transforms former Plano Walgreens into first small-format store

An old Walgreens has become a new Goodwill store in Plano.

UPDATE 7-31-2026: Due to construction delays, the store opening has been pushed back to Thursday, August 13.

---

Leave it to Goodwill to find a second use for a former Walgreens. The nonprofit is transforming a vacant drugstore building in Plano into its first ever, small-format store.

According to a release, Goodwill Industries of Dallas will debut the first-of-its-kind store at 3000 McDermott Rd., Plano, on Thursday, August 6.

The organization has converted the former pharmacy into a 10,000-square-foot thrift store and donation center. For comparison, that's less than one-third of the size of the massive, 31,000-square-foot "Broadway store" that opened in Garland earlier this year as the largest Goodwill in Texas and the second largest in the U.S.

The nonprofit says the new concept is designed to serve neighborhoods with a smaller footprint while still offering a steady flow of merchandise. Shoppers can expect about 5,000 new items to hit the sales floor each day, ranging from clothing and housewares to books, toys, and other donated goods.

It's also a creative example of "adaptive reuse" for one of the many drugstores have have shuttered in recent years around Dallas-Fort Worth. (CVS, are you listening?)

The Plano location will create 70 jobs, they say, and include a donation center where residents can drop off gently used items to support Goodwill's workforce development programs.

The opening comes as resale shopping continues to surge nationwide, Goodwill notes. According to the 2024 ThredUp Resale Report, the U.S. secondhand market grew 11 percent in 2023 — seven times faster than the broader retail clothing industry — and is projected to reach $73 billion by 2028.

"This store is a blueprint for how Goodwill Dallas turns vacant spaces into neighborhood assets, creating jobs, funding workforce development, and keeping quality goods accessible to families who need them most," Goodwill Industries of Dallas president and CEO Tim Heis says in the release.

The timing is also fortuitous for shoppers: The store will debut just ahead of Texas' 2026 Tax-Free Weekend, August 7-9, which will offer clothing, footwear, school supplies, backpacks without state sales tax.

Once doors on August 6, open the Plano store will operate 9 am-9 pm Monday-Saturday and 10 am-7 pm Sunday.

Goodwill Industries of Dallas has served North Texas since 1923, using proceeds from its retail stores to fund free job training, employment placement, and career services for people facing barriers to employment across eight North Texas counties.
