Chlorophyll Water, Special Spa Treatments, More: Tips for Mom Bods Emerging from Long Winter’s Nap
Apr. 4, 2024
The author suggests Pilates as part of her plan for ‘mom bods’ to renew for spring.
AS WE SWAP out our warm comfy PJs for swimsuits, the thought of showing off our bodies can stir up all kinds of emotions, especially for us moms. Here are a few strategic steps to stride into the spring and summer months with confidence and feeling your best.
First, renewing your skin is a must, to wash away the winter blues. Dry winter weather — both in indoor heating and the cold outdoor air, dries out our skin and actually clogs the pores. Not to mention giving us ashy legs and arms. Escape Spa has two treatments that are ideal for making the body and face bright again.
The "Nourishing Glow Wrap" is a vichy shower treatment that will leave your skin feeling refreshed and radiant, perfect for showing off your summer glow. And your therapist is using a trifecta of some of our best products in this service. The LaTika Vitamin C scrub, Skin Authority’s Vitamin D serum and an aloe avocado oil. We use at least three of our product lines in this treatment for ultimate results.
The “Complete Fix Facial” — for a facial from which you can see the effects. Your skin will immediately appear more youthful, fuller, even toned and radiant. Powered by our best-selling, patented SGF-4 Technology this professional treatment elevates topical treatments to produce a new level of immediately visible cosmetic wrinkle and texture improvement without the need for injections of chemical hyaluronic acid formulations.
Implementing chlorophyll water as a part of your daily routine can do wonders for both hydration and overall skin health. You can buy drops online and create a refreshing morning beverage, like I do every day. This simple addition will enhance your wellbeing and glow from the inside out!
My year-round go-to for fitness is pilates, which is what helps me with the sluggish feeling of working out in the winter months. First created for ballet dancers who are rated some of the strongest athletes on the planet, this low-impact workout that focuses on core strength, toning and flexibility is an ideal way for busy moms to get toned and be able to come out of their cold weather cocoon firm and fit. High-impact workouts are great, but there's no need for intense high-impact with Reformer Pilates.
By following my few tips, and taking care of yourself both inside and out, you will be ready to step into summer with confidence and feeling your best! With the support of our trusted wellness partners that we carry at Escape, like Skin Authority, Zents, Dr. Dennis Gross, and LaTika you can enhance your self-care routine even further. Embrace the season ahead with self-compassion, determination,and a sprinkle of indulgence — you've got this, ladies!

SINCE ITS FOUNDING by the late catering king and philanthropist Jackson Hicks, Legacy Community Health’s Schmooze has been a holiday bash that hundreds look forward to each year.
More than 250 festively clad guests were welcomed into the North Boulevard home of Richard Holt. A bountiful buffet and Christmas cocktails awaited, and partygoers admired the sparkling trees and holiday décor while raising money for The Jackson Hicks Endowed Fund for the Awareness, Prevention, and Treatment of HIV/AIDS at Legacy.
This year’s soiree was attended by heavy-hitters such as Bobby Dees, Hallie Vanderhider, Bill Baldwin, Fady Armanious, Vivian Wise, Shannon Hall and many others. Cheers!

WHEN ENVISIONING The Marigold Club, afternoon tea was destined to be a cornerstone — a sophisticated nod to the lavish charm of Mayfair London infused with French culinary flair and a dash of Houston’s bold spirit.
Afternoon tea at The Marigold Club takes tradition for a spin, pairing classics like clotted cream and jam with creative delights such as Vadouvan Chicken Salad, Wagyu Pastrami, a Figgy Toffee Scone, and English Gougères filled with velvety chicken-liver mousse.
For $75 per guest, the tea experience delivers an exquisite lineup of sweet and savory bites, including Smoked Salmon perched on a sesame financier with a crown of osetra caviar, delicate wagyu pastrami finger sandwiches, and zesty orange-cardamom scones. Dessert lovers, brace yourselves: chocolate crèmeux tarts, pear tarts topped with vanilla whipped ganache, and Earl Grey tarts bursting with bergamot curd are just a few of the indulgent offerings. To top it all off, a curated tea selection from Brooklyn’s Bellocq Tea Atelier is presented tableside, allowing guests to indulge their senses by smelling each blend before choosing their perfect cup.
Tea service at The Marigold Club, available every Friday through Sunday from 10:30am-2:30pm, perfectly complements its newly launched, indulgent brunch. This decadent spread boasts delights like a King Crab Tart, crispy-yet-tender Chicken Milanese, fluffy French Omelets, and an elevated Croque Madame. For the ultimate treat, savor their Caviar & Potato Soldier, perched atop a golden, perfectly crisp hashbrown. And don’t forget the house-made pastries — think chocolate brioche filled with Earl Grey crème diplomat — crafted to make your weekend mornings utterly unforgettable.
All of this indulgence unfolds in one of The Marigold Club’s three enchanting spaces. Lounge on plush velvet banquettes beneath a dazzling hand-blown Murano chandelier, surrounded by the hand-painted mural of the main dining room. Bask in the elegance of the newly redesigned atrium, or step into the charming pink room, where fringe lighting adds just the right touch of whimsy.
So what are you waiting for? We’ve spilled the tea — now it’s your turn to sip it!
