    Say Spaaaa

    Do good while feeling good with these Houston summer spa specials

    Houston's luxury spas rank among the best in Texas, and now you can indulge in the highest standards of pampering and relaxation all summer long — while giving back to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals — with the Houston Summer Spa-tacular.

    From June 1-August 31, you can choose from a range of rejuvenating spa specials from seven exclusive partners. The services include reflexology, pedicures, skin plumping and anti-aging treatments, massages, and facials. The best part? Each premier spa service is only $105.

    Refresh and rejuvinate
    Those looking to leave their winter skin behind (while also minimizing the appearance of cellulite) can choose either the passion fruit agave body scrub treatment at The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Houston or the Oh Hou! Body Wrap with custom sugar scrub at the Spa by Alessandra at Hotel Alessandra. Both treatments will leave you glowing just in time for pool season.

    Full-body pampering
    Swing by the Spa by JW at the JW Marriott Houston Downtown Hotel and enjoy the Beauty and the Beach package, which features a HydroPeptide body treatment that has focused bronzer to leave the skin youthfully plump and visibly radiant. Or give your winter skin The Brush-Off! at Pure Spa at the Marriott Marquis Houston and promote cell renewal and blood flow before enjoying an energizing massage.

    Relaxation to the max
    Massage time, you say? Choose from the Make My Day Massage with aromatherapy and heated stones at the Skyline Spa & Health Club at the Hilton Americas-Houston Hotel, or the Staycation Massage at the Spa by Alessandra at Hotel Alessandra, which is personally tailored to relax your tension points. Opt for a combination of warmth and pressure with the Drift Away Massage at the Spa by JW at the JW Marriott Houston Downtown, or choose a more traditional Swedish massage at either ZaSpa in Houston — conveniently located at the Hotel ZaZa Museum District and Hotel ZaZa Memorial City.

    Pedi time
    Summer means sandal season, so make sure you're ready to show off your feet with the Lift Off Treatment at Spa by JW at the JW Marriott Houston Downtown. The unique package includes a reflexology treatment and soothing massage in a zero-gravity chair. Get into a sunny state of mind while you smooth and hydrate your hands and feet at The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Houston with the passion fruit agave mani and pedi.

    Fresh summer skin
    After you hydrate and brighten your skin with one of these facial options, there will be no need to wear makeup during the hot summer months. Choose from the Go & Glow Radiance Facial at the Four Seasons Hotel Houston, the Fresh Face Facial at the Skyline Spa & Health Club at the Hilton Americas-Houston, or the Get Glowing HydraFacial at Spa by Alessandra in Hotel Alessandra. Enjoy a customized face masque during the Purely Pampering Facial at the Pure Spa at Marriott Marquis Houston, or beat the heat with the Chill Out Facial, available at either ZaSpa locations at the Hotel ZaZa Museum District and Hotel ZaZa Memorial City.

    Make time for a massage this summer.

    Irish retailer Primark brings discount clothing to first Houston store

    U.K. retailer Primark, brings its low priced, trend heavy fashion to the Houston market for the first time.

    European import Primark is finally landing in the Houston area. Shoppers will be able to score budget-friendly finds at Katy Mills Mall when the fast-fashion giant, known for leaning into trend-forward clothing, opens its doors on Thursday, November 20.

    The brand started in Dublin in 1969 under the name Penney's before switching to Primark to avoid competition with U.S. heavyweight J.C. Penny's as it expanded outside Ireland. Today, it operates in 11 countries with 470 stores worldwide, including over 175 in the United Kingdom. Its largest outpost in Birmingham is a massive 161,000 square feet covering five floors.

    While the store can't compete with the U.K. version's size, coming in at 30,000 square feet, the prices more than make up for it. Shoppers can expect women's denim starting at $12, men's t-shirts at $5, and kids' sweatshirts at $8. For about the price of a family meal at the food court, shoppers can pull together looks for the whole crew. In terms of quality, price, and style, its biggest competitors are H&M and Zara.

    The Katy opening is Primark's third Texas location, following McAllen and El Paso, and is part of the company's expansion across the United States. New stores are rolling out in Illinois and in Grapevine next month. In a statement, Primark U.S. President Kevin Tulip said, "These vibrant retail destinations in Texas reflect the incredible demand we're seeing across the country for affordability without sacrifice. As we continue to grow, we remain laser-focused on delivering unbeatable value and fashion that fits every family's lifestyle."

    To celebrate the grand opening, Primark will offer a weekend of fun, family-friendly activities, including live music, giveaways, and delicious treats for early-bird arrivals. Shoppers will find a full mix of women's and men's fashion, kids' clothing, accessories, homeware, and beauty once the doors open at Katy Mills on November 20.
