It’s been a busy few weeks with work and travel so I’m playing a bit of catch up over here! I’m switching up my posting a bit this week to share with you some beauty news today that has been long overdue. A few weeks ago, I was invited to have a mini pampering session at The Spa at the Hotel Crescent Court and was seriously given the royal treatment! While the lavish and luxurious Hotel Crescent Court is located in a very upscale part of Uptown Dallas, the staff and all attendees were incredibly down-to-earth, friendly, and inviting, cracking jokes and letting the champagne flow as we all enjoyed various fruits and cheeses from the Spa Cafe!
We enjoyed a few minutes upstairs on their rooftop pool and took in the downtown views before heading downstairs for our spa treatment. The weather was beautiful and while I had just left work to drive 50 minutes through rush hour traffic, I felt my stresses instantly melting away as I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the hotel and spa!

After the schmoozing at the Hotel Crescent Court, it was off to the spa! I changed into a plush robe and waterproof slippers while stowing away my belongings in their lockers. I was pleasantly surprised to see some of their other spa amenities such as whirlpool/cold dip pool, steam room, dry sauna, and even a fully-equipped fitness club that are all available for anyone enjoying a spa service!
can you tell I’m in heaven? 😊

I signed up for the Blueberry Peel, a new treatment that gently exfoliates and purifies the skin. It’s a treatment that’s good for all skin types and can be customized to address any skin concerns such as acne, sun damage, or just dull skin that needs a pick-me-up! A gentle blueberry chemical peel is applied and unlike traditional peels that leave your skin red and irritated afterwards, this one doesn’t have any of those after-effects — you’re only left with dewy, glowing skin that looks revitalized! The entire treatment only takes 25 minutes and can even be done on a lunch break if you’re looking for a mid-day refresher! I felt supremely relaxed and even drifted off to sleep briefly. I woke up as my facialist was finishing up and after looking in the mirror, I couldn’t believe how much brighter my complexion looked!
Cosmedix Emulsion Intense Hydrator | Cosmedix Simply Brilliant 24/7 Brightening Serum | Cosmedix Benefit Clean Gentle Cleanser
The Spa at the Hotel Crescent Court specializes in the usage of the Cosmedix and I left with a trio of products that my facialist recommended to help me continue seeing results with my skin. Cosmedix is a new-to-me skincare line but I love the fact that they combine science with nature so that you get the best of both worlds. Their formulas are soothing yet effective, using only the highest quality plant-based ingredients and pure essential oils. I have been really impressed with the brightening serum in particular as I’ve definitely noticed a big difference in my freckles and can actually tell that they’ve lightened in just a matter of a few short weeks!
This summer, the Hotel Crescent Court is starting a huge renovation project to refresh and elevate the space for its visitors. I can’t wait for the facelift to be unveiled (did you guys know I actually used to work in the building attached to the Crescent Court Hotel?) but in the meantime definitely book yourself an appointment to give your skin a little TLC this summer!

first of all I want to tell you I have been watching your channel for years and You are so talented! But I wanted to ask you if you ever consider to use only cosmetics that is not tested on animals. As this is a big issue for me and I know for many people around as well. With you and your channel being so popular you could make a difference or at lease make people think about this problem more.
