    Ready to put a little more happy into your holiday? Vivian's Boutique Spa has special packages and holiday services that make the ideal gift for everyone on your list — including yourself.

    Holiday services
    Cozy Cocoa & Cinnamon Marshmallow Massage
    60 minutes, $130/90 minutes, $170
    Breathe in the sweet scent of cinnamon as vitamin-rich body oil, combined with botanically based vegan cream, is massaged into the body to release stress and tension. Feel toasty all over as warm stones are used to relax muscles throughout the body.

    This decadent delight continues as marshmallow shea body butter is painted onto décolleté for a luxurious neck and shoulder massage. Enjoy this treat all the way down to your feet, as chocolate serum is painted on toes and tootsies, which are then wrapped in fluffy soft booties for a cozy cocoa cocoon.

    Warm Spiced Wine Festive Facial
    60 minutes, $130/90 minutes, $180
    A plush orange-vanilla balm-to-foam cleanser infused with vitamin C and omega fatty acids melts away makeup and leaves skin silky smooth. Skin is also treated to a peptide infusion with FarmHouse Fresh Wine Down Recovery Serum. Chock full of resveratrol (a potent antioxidant made from red grapes), bioactive fruit compounds to help reduce pore size, and organic chamomile extract known for its soothing properties, it’s a powerhouse serum used to help reduce oxidative stresses to skin.

    Your facial also includes a luscious lip treatment. Lip polish made from shea butter, cane sugar, and merlot wine grapes is applied to gently exfoliate rough patches. A rich, creamy blackberry balm is then applied to moisturize lips with hydrating vitamins A and E and pomegranate seed oil.

    Hot Toddy for the Tootsies Foot Ritual
    50 minutes, $95
    Soak tired tootsies in a soothing apple toddy bath bomb, made with vitamin E and coconut oil to soften skin. Next is a gentle exfoliation with FarmHouse Fresh Bourbon Bubbler Body Polish, made with brown sugar, Kentucky whiskey, and rice bran oil.

    Dip your toes in a butter rum plant-based paraffin made with shea butter and jojoba oil, and unwind as fluffy soft booties wrap your feet in cozy comfort. Cinnamon body oil is painted on with a fan brush while a warm stone massage helps relieve tension in the legs and feet. Feel completely relaxed as creamy honey-chai lotion is massaged into skin for a lush, nourishing experience.

    Please note this service is a luxurious foot ritual and does not include a pedicure.

    Take your relaxation to the next level by adding the Warm Stone Butter Rum Paraffin Hand Treatment ($20) to your Foot Ritual. Enjoy a rich, butter rum plant-based paraffin treatment on the arms and hands. Hands are immersed in sweetly scented moisturizing paraffin while warm mittens help seal in hydration and softness. Relax as you enjoy a warm stone arm and hand massage for a truly luxurious experience, from your hands to your feet.

    Rare Halston fashion exhibition now on display in unlikely Texas city

    A rare exhibition honoring fashion pioneer Halston has popped up in an unexpected place: West Texas. Dallas fashionistas who are fans of the designer can make a five-hour pilgrimage to Odessa’s newly revamped Ellen Noël Art Museum to view "Halston: Inventing American Fashion."

    Halston’s minimalistic fashions are rarely the subjects of retrospectives, although the designer’s dramatic life story recently had a pop-cultural resurgence through a 2021 Ryan Murphy miniseries. "Halston: Inventing American Fashion" assesses the talent that made him a household name.

    Known now for outfitting 1970s icons like Liza Minelli and Bianca Jagger, Halston changed the international reputation of American sportswear as part of the famous 1973 “Battle of Versailles” fashion show, holding his own against Paris’ most lauded couturiers. His uniquely louche style still influences contemporary brands like Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, and Tom Ford, who was briefly the creative director for a revised Halston label.

    The mannequins in the Odessa display are outfitted with 75 ensembles from flowing Ultrasuede daywear to more dramatic draped gowns. The pieces “illustrate how Halston revolutionized fashion by prioritizing comfort, confidence, and modern femininity,” according to a release.

    Although Odessa may seem an odd choice for the show, Halston had deep Texas connections. After he moved on from hat making, Amarillo millionaire Estelle Marsh was his sole backer willing to fund his first Madison Avenue boutique.

    And the recently completed renovation of Odessa's Ellen Noël Art Museum has some of the designer’s signature sleek. Designed by architect R.J. Lopez, the renovation includes new galleries and improved circulation, but the centerpiece is a striking transparent façade, replacing the original brick of the 1985 building.

    “The renovation project has been over 10 years in the making and in the construction phase for the past two years,” says the museum’s buildings manager, Steve Patton, via a release. “The completion of the project has resulted in an incredible facility that is a shining star in West Texas, offering programs and exhibits that will be a destination point for people all over the world!”

    "Halston: Inventing American Fashion" will run through March 22. Admission to the Ellen Noël Art Museum is free.
