Enhance your facial with cutting-edge add-ons, including:

LED therapy: Choose from red (collagen-boosting), blue (acne-fighting), or green (skin-soothing) light therapy.
Oxygen infusion: Hydrate and brighten with a fine mist of oxygen and active serums.
Neck treatment: Create a plumper, perkier neckline with a collagen neck mask and an ultra-smoothing neck cream.
Enzyme peel, jelly masks, and firm-tastic eyes: Address everything from hydration to fine lines for a complete skincare upgrade.

HydroFacials: A brand-new experience
Vivian’s is excited to introduce HydroFacials, a hydrodermabrasion treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with potent serums for a glowing complexion.

“Talk about a facial that does it all!" says Barton. "The HydroFacial is a powerhouse treatment. No matter if your skin is dry, oily, or sensitive, this innovative treatment can be tailored just for you. By gently sweeping away dead skin cells while pumping your skin full of the nourishing goodness it craves, the HydroFacial delivers radiant skin without causing irritation. It’s the perfect way to get that healthy, luminous glow we all want.”

Dallas' once-a-year Salvation Army fashion show sale is a shopper must

Salvation Army

The actual sale will probably not be this color-coded.

It's one of the hottest sales of the year and it's happening in Dallas on May 9-10: It's the After-Sale hosted by the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary, featuring designer clothing, shoes, and accessories at a highly discounted price.

This annual event has been called one of Dallas’ best kept secrets: a designer warehouse sale featuring new and gently worn clothes from the city’s best dressed closets and local boutiques. Featured pieces include designers such as Carolina Herrera, Ulla Johnson, Marc Jacobs and more.

It's part of the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary’s Fashion Show & Luncheon which since its inception in 1993 has raised more than $16 million for The Salvation Army of North Texas.

This year’s Fashion Show & Luncheon took place on May 6 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and included a seated lunch and runway show featuring designer labels donated from Dallas’ most admirable closets and boutiques. Patrons were able to shop from The Chic Boutique or purchase runway items through a silent auction, with proceeds supporting The Salvation Army.

Dallas Women’s Auxiliary President Laura Downing and founding Emeritus Auxiliary member Margot Perot honored Nancy Dedman with the namesake Margot Perot Service Award. Millie Cooper, whose leadership and legacy have inspired countless women to service, was recognized as the Legacy Award recipient. The inaugural Love in Action Award was presented to Toni Turner for her commitment to making the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary and the Fashion Show & Luncheon a success.

“Each year, the Fashion Show & Luncheon serves as a positive reminder of the immense generosity of our advocates, partners, and donors,” said Major Dawn McFarland, area commander of The Salvation Army of North Texas. “It’s truly special to see North Texans come together for such a remarkable event, all in the name of service. We invite those who were unable to attend to come out for our After Sale. Every dollar makes a difference, and what better way to show support than by sprucing up your wardrobe!”

The Fashion Show After Sale will take place at 9216 Harry Hines Blvd. May 9-10, from 10 am-6 pm and feature gently and never-worn women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, as well as shoes, handbags, and accessories at discounted prices — donated from coveted closets and boutiques in North Texas.
