How's a Girl to Survive in This Town?!- Skin Care

So since we were on the topic of beauty another problem here is Waco is not only spa places but good places for skin care. Waco only has two dermatologists in it's small community and sometimes there are things that you just don't need to go to a dermatologist for especially when it's hard to book with one of the two in the city, oh and they're not what we college kids would call "cheap."


I have found that going to get weekly facials has kept my skin perfect!! The place I go to? FaceLogic.

FaceLogic Website

Located off of Highway 6 next to Panera and 3Spoons frozen yogurt,  FaceLogic has many different types of skin care services. Not only do they have a variety of services like Acne Fighting facials for teens, different Masks, and even microdermabrasion but they're all for a descent price!! Most places would charge you $60 -$80 dollars for a facial but FaceLogic has an intro fee of only $49.

Alright ladies, now you know exactly where to go when you need skin treatment! FaceLogic has great service, is affordable, and affective. Hope this helped and good luck on finals!!! 

How's a Girl to Survive in This Town?!- Beauty Queen

While in Waco you may experience troubles like those that I have posted in the past, what to do on the weekend or where to shop. This post is going to cover what to do when you need to get that perm or those highlights redone... that's right girls! Where in Waco you can go to make sure your hair is getting done the right way and for a desent amount of money.

Lets first take a peek at a salon in downtown Waco named Salon Evidence.
Located off of Austin and 17th st. Salon Evidence is run by a younger guy and his fiance. The hip salon does everything you can imagine, highlights, lowlights, extensions, perms, even the newly famous feather incerts. Not only do they have all of these different services, they are also the only Paul Mitchell based salon in Waco.
Check out their link for more information about their services and for contact information: Salon Evidence

Next on the list is La Bella Visage located off of La Salle and Franklin. This unique spa retreat has many different hair services but is also a place you want to visit if you are looking for a massage or mani and pedi. Look out though, their spa services can be pretty pricey for college students!! They may have been my savior when it came to fixing my hair dye mistake but when it comes to the massage therapy I don't reccommend going to La Bella Visage. Here is a link to their salon services: La Bella Visage Salon

The last place that I would suggest for getting your hair done in Waco would be The Salon at Ridgewood Village off of Valley Mills as well. It like La Bella Visage is a place where you can get many different services in and out of the salon or day spa. They have all the same services as Salon Evidence and La Bella Visage. They are just a bit further away from campus but it is totally worth the extra couple miles!! The Salon at Ridgewood Village

I hope this helped you figure out where you'll be visiting to try out yet another hair salon in good ole' Waco! 

How's a Girl to Survive in This Town?! - Weekend Troubles

One huge question ask by people new at Baylor or to Waco for that matter is, "what's there to do on the weekend?" Though Waco isn't the greatest place to be with an overload of free time, it does have some crazy stuff to do for fun!

Date night this Friday? Besides the StarPlex Cinema off of Franklin there is another theatre that's much nicer and just as cheap, and it's only 15 minutes away! Link to Galaxy 16 Website

Need a place for fine dining? Diamond Backs is located in down town Waco off of South 3rd st. It is a four star restaurant and is at the top of the places to dine list for Waco. Known for their delicious steaks and seafood this is only a place you want to go to if you want to spend some serious cash.

Something everyone must do while they are in Waco is go tortilla tossing. I know, you're probably thinking what on Earth? Well let me explain. Tortilla tossing is an activity that some crazy Baylor students thought of where you go to the Waco suspension bridge and toss tortillas aiming for the monster cement blocks sitting in the river. It may sound silly but the fact that you can get in trouble for it makes it so much more exciting I suppose. So, if you're bored on a weekend night, go buy some tortillas at HEB and head on over to the suspension bridge!!

Alright well I hope I helped you guys out!! Hope you find a way to start enjoying your weekends here in Waco! (:

How's a Girl to Survive in This Town?!- Shop-a-holic

We all know that Waco isn't the greatest when it comes to supplying activities for us to take part in over the weekend. You may be asking yourself, especially you ladies, where can I go to get a cute new blouse for my interview? Or where can I find a dress for rush? We all know you're most likely not going to find what you need at Target or Walmart, so now you're stumped.

Lucky for us shop-a-holics, or just someone looking for something for a specific occassion, some woman in Waco has blessed us with Spice Village. This sea of adorable clothes, jewelry, and other cute crafty nic-nacs has almost anything you can think of and is right accross the highway from us!

The shop is located at 2nd and Franklin in downtown Waco and is open from 10am to 6pm Monday through Saturday and then noon to 5pm on Sunday's. This schedule has made it possible for my two roomates and me to make going to Spice nearly a ritual every Sunday after church and brunch.

Spice Village has over 40 different designer's creations set up and also has a cute dine-in area for a quick lunch from Simply Good Eatery.

Not only does Spice Village have tons of different clothes for special occassions, it also has plenty of Baylor wear! Not like the clothing you see in our bookstore though, Spice has the fashionable almost vintage and rugged looking clothes. All of it's so cute!!

Well, I hope you've found where you're taking your next shopping spree!! 

Have a blessed day!!
