It’s Thursday! And Thursday only means one thing at Jorge’s Tex-Mex Café: $5 Palomitas during happy hour.

We love everything about these refreshing drinks. They’re made with traditional grapefruit soda and a splash of freshly squeezed lime juice. But what makes them extra special is that they’re made with Mexico’s #1 selling Reposado Tequila, Jose Cuervo. Kick back on Jorge’s patio and enjoy this authentic beverage today from 2-6pm!

You’re invited to JM Gallery’s newest artist opening!

Come welcome female artists Sasha Baskin, Melanie Millar, and Fari Rahimi to JM Gallery! Join us at the gallery this Saturday, August 1, from 5-8pm for a chance to be some of the first to see this new exhibition.

See how these three remarkable artists transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Sasha Baskin is a weaver who uses texture and shadow to construct elaborate portraits.  As she describes it, she looks at the faces slowly, takes them apart, and puts them back together, revealing the beauties and stories she found in them. Melanie Millar uses her paintings to explore the nature or ornamentation and the human impulse to embellish. Her work is inspired by patterns, florals, and other fabric designs. Fari Rahimi creates her sculptures by drawing heavily on her upbringing in Iran. She uses her work to create “symbolic portraits of the interior female self”.

We are excited to welcome these artists to JM Gallery! Join us this Saturday to experience their beautiful work. 

Pancakes and Proceeds:

It’s never too early to make brunch plans! Especially if it’s for a great cause. Join us at Yolk this Saturday, July 25, from 7am to 3pm for this month’s Charity Brunch. Ten percent of all proceeds will benefit Big Thought, a nonprofit dedicating to incorporating imagination, curiosity, collaboration, and problem-solving into children’s every-day educations.  Don’t forget that Yolk is BYOB and that valet parking is complimentary.

Don't forget to protect your skin this summer...

We love almost everything about summer, but sometimes the heat, humidity, and chlorine can produce negative results for our skin. Luckily Renée Rouleau, whose spa is located right here at One Arts Plaza, was able to give us a few pointers to beat the summer heat. Here are just a few from her summer skin care blog.

1.  Wear sunscreen everyday, even if you spend most of you time inside.
2. Avoid hair products containing panthenol to prevent breakouts.
3.  Don’t let your usual skin care routine take a summer vacation!

Visit www.reneerouleau.com for more tips. If you’re interested in receiving the same spa and skin treatments that are beloved by bloggers, fashion editors, and celebrities contact Reneée Rouleau at One Arts Plaza. (Available by appointment only. Call (214) 735-4364 or visit www.reneerouleau.com)
