GET READY TO glide! The Rink: Rolling at Discovery Green has announced its 2023 Spring season. Beginning Friday, Houstonians can enjoy Discovery Green’s new and improved outdoor roller skating rink, now with a rubber subfloor (for healthier ankles and knees) and a fresh coat of brightly colored paint, ideal for selfie shots and Instagram shares. The rink is open through March 17.

Located in the center of Discovery Green’s beautiful 12-acre park, the popular rink is Downtown’s only outdoor roller rink, and is set to host five weeks of fun festivities with live, local DJs, curated music and light shows. Non-motorized wheelchairs are welcome.

Opening night (Feb. 10, 5-11pm) features music from DJ Yung Chris and roller derby demonstrations from members of the Daisies and Pancakes skate community, and the first 50 skaters in line to skate that evening will skate for free! The following week heralds the return of Rainbow on the Rink (Feb. 17, 7-10pm), an LGBTQ celebration with music by DJ Joe Ross, and performances by three of H-Town’s most resplendent drag queens: Angelina DM Trailz, Reign LaRue, and Ericka Sanchez.

Looking ahead, on Time Warp Tuesdays, skaters of a certain age can roll to “songs from decades past” spun by DJ Mohawk Steve. Clutch City Wednesdays offer discounted admission if you show up wearing any Houston sports team gear; FUNomenal Fridays feature a phenomenal light show and music by DJ Monstaa; and Skate Party Saturdays are dedicated to pop hits that sound as if they were recorded especially for the roller rink, all spun by DJ Boris.

Also new for The Rink this year is College Student Night: Students with a current college ID receive a discount on admission every Thursday.

More information about tickets, including a special deal for couples who want to cuddle and skate on Valentine’s Day, is available on the Discovery Green website.

Consistent Focus on the Patient Is What Sets Montrose Med Spa Apart

Owner Maricela Olivo and Montrose Med Spa

WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.
