Beat the Heat at Mokara

Funny how, even though I’ve lived here most of my life, I’m always surprised at how hot it gets every summer. While hiding out in a movie theater or a mall is the way most Dallasites cope with triple digits, I think I’d rather head to Mokara Salon & Spa for a 75-minute cool stone massage–a twist on the old hot stone massage and one of a handful of  spa treatments geared toward cooling down. Another winner is the resilience firming treatment. I’d go just to get drenched in a head-to-toe cool gel, but the gel’s marine ingredients are said to promote firmer skin, so you’ll also leave feeling svelte.
