Out to Dinner

The new InterContinental Houston hotel in the Med Center celebrated its grand opening with an elegant dinner in its ballroom. Virtuosi of Houston accompanied a Mediterranean dinner from Safina, which is on the ground floor of the 21-story tower. And Goodnight Charlie’s — a fun, laidback honky-tonk — welcomed Olivier Krug, heir to the exclusive Champagne house, and a handful of serious wine collectors for a tasting dinner. The Champagne and food pairings were supplemented by live music, which similarly progressed throughout the evening.

Alira Med Spa's Escarle Silva Travels World ‘Searching for the Best Tricks to Help Others’

Alira Med Spa Owner, World Travel Blogger, Influencer, Philanthropist

Med Spa Owner

As a small business owner, I get to wear many hats. I became an Aesthetician to gain more knowledge about the services my business was going to provide, thinking that I will only focus on the administrative side of the business. Soon I became the business administrator and the lead Aesthetician. Currently, I am hands-on with our social media and marketing promotions, in addition to my regular facial clients. As time has passed, I realized I needed it to ramp up my services and technology to keep up with our competitors and now we offer a wide variety of Medical Spa services such as injectables and laser treatments.
