    Float On By

    Float away from holiday stress with this mentally rejuvenating therapy

    CultureMap Create
    Dec 21, 2021 | 12:30 pm

    With all the holiday hustle and bustle, do you feel like you need a break to just...be?

    Enter a low-gravity, totally silent, and pitch-black environment for some floating therapy at True Rest Float Spa.

    Float therapy is a zero-gravity spa environment that allows the mind and body to completely let go, relax, and reset, while also a clinically proven way to relieve pain, reduce stress, improve sleep, and maintain a healthy mind.

    The buoyancy of using 1,000 pounds of Epsom salts makes floating on water feel like floating on air. This mental release allows the brain to stop processing senses (and sensory overload), resulting in a surge of positive neurochemicals.

    This means that for anyone with stress-induced or related diseases, such as hypertension, ulcers, heart disease, and many others, the flotation tank offers a mental solution to the physical symptom, and goes after the problem at its source.

    By combating the stress, which is at the root of these issues, flotation tanks help to heal the body and the mind. Even more abstract mental issues, such as depression, psychological issues, and even PTSD, have been shown to be alleviated in the tank environment due to shifts in brain chemistry.

    While it is recommend to float without any lights or music, there are options for multi-colored lights and relaxing music. The official audio collection includes contributions from East Forest and Dr. Steven Schwartz with BioHarmonic Technologies, which uses sound, light, and frequency to raise the planet's vibration.

    Ready to try it out? From now until December 31, buy one float gift card and get one free. There are no limits and no expirations, so grab these floats as gifts or stock up for yourself.

    Shut out the world.

    Kendra Scott’s new tarnish-resistant Ever collection makes it easy to wear 14K gold-filled jewelry every day.

    October ushers in a fresh set of fashion finds and shopping events around town. From a Brioni trunk show and a new Heights jewelry store to Saturday sip-and-shops and great excuses to buy everything from black diamonds to a new pair of boots.

    Here's what's new in Houston's shopping scene.

    Brioni
    Gents looking to refresh their fall wardrobe with custom clothing are invited to the Brioni Trunk Show, October 15-17 in River Oaks District. Brioni is known for its fine custom tailoring, and during the event, shoppers can explore a wide selection of fabrics.

    Cavender's
    Celebrate National Cowboy Boot Day on October 8 with a massive selection of boots at Cavender's, which has just expanded to include Texas-favorite Lane Boots. The newly dropped Lane collection includes several of their famed blue-bottomed beauties with snip toes and colors perfect for any occasion.

    Consuela
    Kicking off in October, Consuela's La Centerra location will host a weekly Sip & Shop series on Saturdays from 12-3 pm, featuring local DJs and free drinks from Perfect Pour Mobile Cart. Shoppers will also have the opportunity to receive free monogramming and embroidery services with the purchase of a Grab N’ Go bag every Sunday from 12:30-3:30 pm in October.

    Cotton Club Collection
    In addition to racks full of the latest fall drops, on October 1-2, Cotton Club Collection will host a trunk show of Sethi Couture's latest fine jewelry with an in-person appearance from co-founder Pratima Sethi. The brand's latest collection includes black diamonds and a dazzling selection of rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.

    Frank Darling
    Jewelry brand Frank Darling has officially opened its second Texas location in the Heights. The bungalow-turned-showroom offers an excellent alternative to the traditional jewelry shopping experience. Frank Darling offers a personalized approach to engagement rings and bespoke fine jewelry.

    Jubilee
    One of the most-shopped boutiques on 19th Street in the Heights, Jubilee is a one-stop shop for fall's latest clothing, accessories, shoes, fabulous tchotchkes, and home decor. Stock up on dresses, outerwear, PJs, and even better, the Jubilee carries plus sizes.

    Kendra Scott
    The Texas-based brand recently launched Ever, a new category of 14K yellow gold-filled jewelry designed for everyday use. The tarnish-resistant jewelry is water-resistant and sweat-resistant for 24/7 wear. Each piece features a thick layer of real 14K gold permanently bonded to a brass core, offering a longer-lasting alternative to traditional gold-plated jewelry.

    Miron Crosby
    Boot brand Miron Crosby is on a roll with new releases. The latest in its signature collection is the Maggie Honey Suede featuring a rich, golden honey suede with contrasting cream and lilac embroidery. Available at the brand's River Oaks store front, it is perfect for fall looks, offering a fresh take on classic Western style.

    Kick Pleat
    The Kirby Drive boutique has a distinct fall fashion point of view and recently launched its seasonal edit. The fall drop features brands including Tibi, Plan C, Proenza Schouler, Indress, and Sofie D'Hoore with pieces for layering and quirky accessories including fur heels and diamond collars.

    Pippa & Pearl
    Shoppers looking for one-of-a-kind looks for the office, bridal events, or celebrations will find plenty to love at Pippa & Pearl in M-K-T Heights. The latest collection features rich fall hues with lace, suede, and form-fitting silhouettes dominating the racks.

    South to North
    Specializing in introducing Latin brands to Houston shoppers, South to North has several new names at its Autry Park location, including Cala de la Cruz, Duma & Co., Aysha Bilgrami jewelry, and Sabandija, alongside new collections from Lanthropy, Laura Aparicio, and Texas favorite Montserrat Messeguer. Colombian luxury lifestyle brand Juan de Dios now also has its own curated corner in the boutique featuring new pieces from the brand's fall collection.

    Vilebrequin
    Known for its luxury resort wear, Vilebrequin is debuting its 2027 Cruise Collection on Saturday, October 24 at its River Oaks District store. Customers can find resort options, including tailored swimwear and bold prints, for everyone in the family.
