Find Your Bliss
By Samantha Suttle
College finals have left you stressed? Is work bogging you down? Then it's time to make an appointment at Pure Bliss! This salon off West 7th Street in Fort Worth specializes in massage -- the cure for your throbbing head, sore shoulders and knotted back. From Swedish massages, to hot stone massages, to prenatal or couple massages, you are bound to find the right therapeutic treatment for you.
The moment you enter the salon, you instantly feel a sense of calm. The walls are painted in soft blue, lavender and green. The lights are dim (or off) in several of the massage rooms and the whole space is quiet. All ingredients for the perfect escape from the day's troubles. Pure Bliss' motto is, "It is the heart that understands and the hand that soothes," and you are sure to find a soothing hand here.
The salon opened April 8, 2010 -- just over a year ago -- and Owner Thuy Nguyen says the overall experience of owning a business is going well. She says the West 7th area offers a laid-back atmosphere and the people are very nice. The young entrepreneur says she chose to open a massage business because she likes to help people and enjoys the instant gratification of having a client leave feeling better than they did when they arrived.
"It's very rewarding to know I did that and it helped," says Nguyen.
She says clients often remark, "That was the best massage ever!" They also say they feel lighter when they leave, almost like they are walking on air.
"We only do one thing, so we try to be the best," Nguyen says.
If you are in need of relaxation, then give Pure Bliss Massage a call. Your aching body will thank you.

Pure Bliss is hiring for another licensed massage therapist, so if you or someone you know is interested in applying, contact Thuy Nguyen at 817-882-0925.

It's An Anniversary Party at Bess & Evie's Vintage!
Reaching your First Anniversary when you own a small business is always a reason to celebrate. Kalen Ruiz of Bess & Evie's Vintage at 931 Foch Street is ready to do just that next Thursday, May 26th from 6:30-8:00pm. Plan on joining them and see why they made Fort Worth Texas Magazine's "Best Of" issue. Music will be provided by Brad Thompson.
Are you familiar yet with Bess & Evie's? As they say about themselves, "Bess & Evie's Vintage is the result of a lifelong dream of owner Kalen Ruiz to own a vintage store. Named after her grandmothers, Elizabeth (Bess) and Evelyn (Evie), the store opened in Fort Worth in May of 2010. Kalen graduated from Texas Christian University with a degree in Fashion Merchandising, and spent the majority of her career managing International Operations in the Merchandising Department at Pier 1 Imports. She loves to travel and seeks out local vintage stores in every city she visits. The next destination on her list is the legendary Paris Flea Market. Our vision for Bess & Evie's is to create a place for friends to hang out, try on fabulous clothes, have a glass of wine, and return often! We hope to see you soon!"
We are big fans of the legendary "Boot Wall" where if you don't have the time to break in your boots yourself get a pair ready to wear. Aside from their fabulous clothes their vintage hats, jewerly, and handbags are exquisite. Not just a store for woman, Bess & Evie's Vintage sports an impressive collection of the kind of vintage clothing for men you simply cannot find outside of Austin or NYC.
