Spring 2025 marks an exciting new chapter for Escape Spa! We'll be opening the doors to a significantly expanded space, designed to elevate your wellness journey. With an additional 1,200 square feet, the spa will feature a dedicated yoga and meditation room, providing a tranquil haven for mindful and therapeutic practices. Our guests can also look forward to an array of recovery options, including innovative therapies and treatments to rejuvenate your mind, body and well-being including Yoga + Mediation, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and a Cryotherapy Sauna. The expansion also includes more treatment rooms, ensuring a personalized experience for every guest. This larger, more versatile space allows us to enhance our services and create an even more immersive and transformative “Escape” for you.
My vision has always been to create a sanctuary where you can disconnect from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with your inner self. This expansion brings that vision to life in a whole new way, providing a haven of reset, and restoration with a wider array of therapies for body and mind. We're committed to providing a space where you can prioritize your wellbeing and embark on a journey of self-discovery.
And speaking of journeys, I'm embracing my own path of seeking a deeper connection with oneness and truly focus on intention setting. Every morning, I take a few moments to pray and set clear intentions for the day ahead. It's a powerful practice that helps me stay focused, grounded and aligned with my goals. Intention setting is more than just wishful thinking; it's about consciously directing your energy and attention towards what truly matters. By setting clear intentions, you create a roadmap for your day, your week, or even your year. It's a way to invite positive change and attract all that you desire. Give it a try — start by setting small, achievable intentions and observe the positive impact it has on your life. Remember, your journey is unique and personal. Embrace it, nurture it, and allow Escape Spa to support you along the way.

Boot-clad guests sipped ranch waters and margaritas while watching Suede & Honey brand and embellish custom hats; they also loved Layne Stitch’s jewelry engraving and bandana stitching. DJ Cara kept the party going while mingling amongst the fringe and suede in the crowd.
The entrance to the store features a dramatic floor-to-ceiling cowhide mural of a cowgirl by Kyle Bunting. All the art and some of the furniture were hand-picked over the years by Scott herself in Round Top. The boutique carries collections from Yellow Rose x Wrangler Denim, H Bar C, Arloom, Three Sons, Daydreamer, Juan Antonio Leather, and Clayton & Crume.

Fashion show winner Buttercup
The 12th annual event — a luncheon and fashion show starring fabulous furry friends — had a theme of "Lassos and Leashes," and attendees dressed in rodeo-chic westernwear for the occasion. Co-chairs Kristin Guthrie and Roberta Konicki welcomed guests, including honoree Frank Billingsley, a famously animal-loving media personality and author.
Emcee Casey Curry, IM Board Chair Saied Alavi, and past Board Chair Kathy Flanagan all spoke, shedding light on IM's missions. Animeals is is program that provides pet food, toys and vet care supplies to more than 1,300 pets of homebound senior Meals on Wheels participants. There was also a silent auction featuring tons of jewelry, trips, spa treatments and other experiences.
Finally, the main event: a pet fashion show, produced by Todd Ramos with hair and makeup by Edward Sanchez. Judges included magazine editors MichelleMantor, Lara Bell, Suzanne Schakett, and CityBook's own Jeff Gremillion. The winner was Buttercup, pictured above, and her owner Brittanny Diller.
In all, more than $130,000 was raised for IM's Animeals program.
