New Year, Better You: Best Spots in Town to Treat Your Self-Care Needs

Self-care is the best care, and we could all use a little more of it this year. Although taking care of ourselves can look different for everyone, who doesn’t love a nice candle, fresh flowers, and that much-needed spa date? Let’s start 2021 off right with these 14 places in town (and some of my favorite ways) to practice self-care year-round.

Candle and Body Care

A candle and a good book are two of my favorite things. Rocky Creek Candle Company is a locally owned and locally sourced shop that offers hand-poured soy candles, as well as at-home bath and body kits to treat all your needs. Plus, you can “pour a candle” to create your very own custom scents!

White Rock Soap Gallery is another great option for soy wax candles and vegan body care items. A few of their top fragrances include White Tea and Rosemary Mint, and they now have storefronts in McKinney and The Colony so you don’t have to make the trek to Dallas.

Flower and Plants

Flowers make everything better, that’s my motto. And plant care as self-care is totally a thing. Luxe Stems has beautiful bouquets to choose from, and they offer floral design workshops where you’ll learn how to create your own arrangement. Sign me up!

Ready to develop a green thumb? Shades of Green is a full-service and family-owned, 7-acre garden center that has been rooted in Frisco for over 25 years! They have a variety of plants to add to your home or garden. From shrubs to succulents, cacti and houseplants — plan a visit to find the right plants for you.

Spas and Skincare

Treat yourself to that spa you always wanted to do this year (I know I will be). Culture A Day Spa in Frisco is a luxury spa featuring massage therapy, body treatments, facials, and more! Do it big with a specialty spa package like the SPAcation option – a 3.5-hour experience that you won’t regret.

Consider Culture’s exclusive skincare line, KS Esthetics. The unique formulas address skin aging in the most critical layers of the skin.

New to Frisco, Hiatus Spa + Retreat is a wonderful option that has 15 treatment rooms including a hydrotherapy suite and a nail therapy lounge, as well as three signature spa packages to get you the best bang for your buck.

Boost your self-confidence this year with Lone Star Plastic Surgery’s nonsurgical services  (It’s not all breast augmentations and tummy tucks, anymore, Frisco.) They offer Botox®, dermal fillers, medical-grade chemical peels, and the renowned ZO® skin health line.

Health and Fitness

Healthy living is the ultimate self-care, helping us to de-stress, improve our mood, and in some cases, find community.

Clean Juice uses a cold-pressed juicing technique that crushes and gently presses their fresh, organic produce into refreshing juices that deliver as much nutrition as possible so all of those powerful nutrients can provide the maximum benefits to your body!

Relax your mind and your body with a yoga session. Horizon Hot Yoga offers a variety of classes (including private lessons!) every day of the week, plus unique workshops featuring special guests. Register for a single class or check out their pricing options to receive unlimited classes.

Dwell Yoga Studio provides a variety of classes to meet the diverse needs, interests, and abilities of their clientele through a Christ-centered yoga experience. First-time visitors can enjoy a class for only $10! Dwell also offers private infrared therapy sessions in its Sunlighten infrared room. Infrared therapy is proven to lower blood pressure, aid in weight loss, and support detoxification. Plus, it’s super relaxing.

At BEYOND Pilates, members love the relationships formed in small group classes with instructors who inspire and motivate. The workouts deliver amazing results, but the heartbeat of the studio is really the camaraderie and community it fosters.

Hobby Classes

Developing a new interest can be a therapeutic and fun way to practice self-care!

Walls of Clay, a paint your own pottery and glass fusing studio, has the option to reserve a time to paint in the studio or enjoy pottery to-go kits at home!

The Painted Teacup has over 100 different and unique pottery pieces to paint. Let your creativity run wild during your session time, and BYOB to elevate your painting experience.

Maybe you’re ready to discover your inner writer or release some thoughts onto paper? Write On! Frisco has a variety of creative writing classes and specialty workshops for adults such as Poetry Writing, Journaling for Happiness and Stress Relief, Bullet Journaling, and Story Writing.
