dallas favorites

Whether you've lived in Dallas your whole life, or you're brand new here, finding your "regular" spots in a city can be a struggle. I want to share with ya'll today some of my absolutely favorite spots in Dallas (or what I think are some of the best spots in Dallas - specifically for food, hair, nails, and lashes. you know - the important things in life!)Speaking from personal experience here: I've lived in Dallas my whole life but it wasn't until recently when I finally found my "regulars", and honestly, they are just too good to not share with ya'll! So, if you're like me and have forever been searching for the perfect hair stylists, or nail salon, look no further.

Favorite:

1. Hair salon - Charleigh at FORM salon does my balayage color and she has been my hair hero! Going from dark brunette to "bronde" (brown/blonde) was a process but she has been amazing at really listening to and giving me exactly what I want! I personally think FORM is the best hair salon in Dallas, because of Charleigh, because of the location, and because I'm super happy with my hair everytime I leave there!
2. Nail salon - Bellacures Dallas is the first nail salon I have ever been a "regular" at. The location is super convenient (in Preston center) and the people who work there are all so nice and friendly! Everything is super clean (and cute!) on the inside. They have tons of color options and they always do the best job with my mani/pedi. Lasts me 3 weeks at least! In my opinion, Bellacures is the best nail salon in Dallas.
3. Lash extensions - Okay, I know what you're thinking. This is not something that would be on most people's "must" lists. I thought the same thing until I found Amanda at Southern Belle Lash in Plano. I first got lash extensions before going on a girls beach trip to Mexico. The lashes were amazing and I didn't have to wear eye make-up the whole trip. After realizing how long they stayed on and how low maintenace they were, I decided I wanted them all the time! You basically wake up and go to the gym looking like you have full eye-make up on when you're wearing none.

Now for the food. This dress was shot last night at R+D Kitchen in Dallas. Absolutely in my top 3 favorite restaurants in Dallas. I'll be real with ya'll - I'm a foodie, and I'm pretty picky when it comes to food. Don't get me wrong, I'll eat anything but I really, really enjoy good food. R+D Kitchen has been my favorite for a while for a few reasons:

1. Ambiance - it's not too casual but it's not too fancy. It's the perfect date night spot, but could also be the perfect "mom's in town, let's go to brunch" spot. You can dress up if you want, or jeans would also be just fine!
2. Service - I've never had a bad waiter at R+D. They are all so kind and helpful, but not in a way that interrupts your meal. They make the best recommendations and always take such good care of us
3. The food, duh. If you can't tell by these pictures, their food is OUT of this world. They have a smaller menu, but everything on it is a 10 on a 10. (My favorite is the Thai Tuna roll!)

I hope this guide helps you find some new favorite spots in Dallas and enjoy this city even more! Comment with any questions you might have, or let me know some of your favorite Dallas spots!
