Gift merry 'me-time' with festive specials from this chic Dallas spa

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.

Shoe News

2 new shops join lineup at Firewheel Town Center in Garland

Vans

Vans shoes

Two new retailers are joining the lineup at Firewheel Town Center, the outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment destination in Garland on the corner of the President George Bush Tollway and HW 78.

Both sell shoes.

Vans: Vans is a brand of footwear, apparel, and accessories known for its association with skate and street culture. They feature a signature waffle rubber sole for grip and durability, and often a minimalist, canvas upper for breathability and comfort.

Founded in southern California in 1966, Vans champions authenticity, creativity, and a rebellious spirit, and is popular among skaters, artists, musicians, and young people globally.

There are currently eight Vans locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area including NorthPark, Galleria Dallas, Mesquite, Allen Outlet Mall, Stonebriar in Frisco, Grand Prairie Outlet Mall, Grapevine Mills, Arlington, Northeast Mall in Hurst, Tanger Outlets Mall in Fort Worth, and Hulen Mall in Fort Worth.

The Firewheel location will open in November 2025, located next to Buckle.

Tradehome Shoes: For more than 100 years, Midwestern shoppers have relied on Tradehome Shoes for their footwear. They offer a complete line-up of footwear for everyone and for every need, with brand names like Adidas, New Balance, Dansko, Minnetonka Moccasin, and Steve Madden.

Their name originated from the idea of "Trading-at-Home," encouraging shoppers to support (trade) in their local communities (home). Based in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, just southeast of Minneapolis, they're 100 percent employee-owned, and have impact programs like giving shoes to schools.

They also sell some clothing and accessories, from hats and T-shirts to hoodies and sweatshirts, mostly for training, lounging, or everyday wear.

There are currently three locations in the DFW area: Frisco, Arlington, and Fort Worth.

The Firewheel Town Center location is open now next to Old Navy, and will feature shoes for every season, occasion, and lifestyle, along with apparel from brands like RIVAL and UNRL.
