GET READY FOR the ultimate Barbiecore experience, coming to H-Town this summer. After popping up in New York, Chicago, Miami and Minneapolis, Malibu Barbie Cafe — complete with a pinkified menu and roller rink — arrives at the Junction HTX building off Washington just north of I-10 in August.

Bucket Listers, a media-experience brand known for viral phenomena like Family Guy Experience and the Golden Girls Kitchen, teamed up with Mattel on the fast-casual fare and interactive experience, which channels the groovy, laidback and colorful energy of 1970s Malibu.

“Bucket Listers is honored to continue partnering with Mattel, bringing Malibu Barbie Cafe down to Houston after sold-out runs across the country,” said Bucket Listers President Derek Berry in a release. “Barbie has proven to be one of history’s ultimate icons; it means so much for us to bring exclusive experiences like this to life for our community. I cannot wait for the city to see what we have in store.”

Expect photo ops galore, creative cocktails, and activities including the slick and chic roller rink; skate rentals cost just $1, but all rental fees will be donated to Girls Inc. Special events like cupcake decorating classes and paint parties will be announced closer to the cafe's opening.

The Malibu Barbie Cafe will open Aug. 16 and run through mid-October. Tickets for admission are $25, but include credit for both food and merchandise.

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.
