Texas Wood & Wine was the perfect place since it gave us room to spread out while still having a fun time!

The owner/instructor was so sweet and made sure we were safe (nail guns and champagne, hello?). I absolutely love my board and whole heartedly recommend them for your next socially-distanced girl's gathering!

We celebrated my young niece's birthday at Painting with a Twist in Dallas and let me just say...we…read morehad a blast! The kids were happy, the adults were impressed, and even those of us who weren't painting had fun just being part of the energy. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond. Dana, Tanishia, and our instructor Eva were warm, attentive, and full of great vibes. They created such a welcoming atmosphere that the whole event felt personal and joyful, even though there were other guests in the studio. We had our own table up front with plenty of space for cake, presents, and all the birthday extras. And the glow-in-the-dark private room? Major hit!!We sang Happy Birthday in there, and the staff even played the birthday song over the speakers...it felt like a mini concert moment for the kids. It was the kind of thoughtful touch that made the day feel extra special. I left completely inspired (particularly my inner child). I'm already plotting a return for a grown-up girls' night--but next time, we'll swap the birthday cake for cocktails and small bites. Pro Tips: 1. Check the online calendar to view upcoming paintings, pricing, and reserve your spot. 2. Parking out front and street parking in-back is limited, so consider valet next door. 3. The vibe is upbeat, fun, and easygoing: perfect for parties, dates, and hangouts. 4. Ask about the private room for special occasions if you have 8-15 people, the glow-in-the-dark setup is a total crowd-pleaser. Happy Painting :-)

She tried her best to understand my vision and gave great advice without taking over my painting. The vibes were top tier! The music was great and the people were very friendly.

The room had plenty of inspiration on the walls for you to be inspired with your own piece. I believe it's RSVP only so it was a very small and intimate setting. This was a spot for BYOB and BYOF.

Step 3: Listen for quick directions on where to begin then continue. It was so easy and fun because she moved around the room to help with the process in assisting only when needed to and helping with mixing colors. We will definitely be back!

Attended a yelp elite event with this group and it was so much fun! I'm not sure how the pricing…read morestructure works, or if wine and cheese is *normally* included, as these breakdowns weren't provided for us... however, it was a lot of fun either way! The experience included a topless server (male) for our party, an instructor and a nude model (also male). Something else that wasn't specified was if you had a female model if you would also have a female server? So not sure on that. I would guess she would be in a bikini or bra top as no nude photography is allowed and they walk around during the entirety of the event serving drinks and handing out pencils as needed. This would be a fun event to celebrate bachelorette parties (obviously), but you could also utilize their services for any type of gathering. I can so see a ladies night in with my friends doing this, but she also mentioned divorce parties (in which case can we have a group of male models I'll take 5 thank u), birthdays for the artsy friend, baby shower because clearly they've seen someone nude and nobody likes baby shower games (she didn't say that but I couldn't resist).... anyways, I digress. The only thing I wish I'd had more of was explanation. Some of them felt kind of rushed and I had no idea how to shade which was detrimental to my artistry (jk my hands are detrimental to my artistry more than anything else)... Would definitely do this again!

Each round went pretty quickly, so I wish I could have taken a bit more time to draw.

Until this past weekend. We went in for my partner's birthday, and I'm sure glad we did. They normally don't like rich desserts or cakes, but they love pretty nice, high end dark chocolates. Chocolate Secrets did not disappoint. We arrived with our family, including two little ones in tow. They actually treated our kids with such love and care. It was slightly understaffed, but even then the service was excellent. We ended up taking a box of nine chocolates to go. Pro tip: they also host jazz nights on most nights. It also seems like a really cool spot for hosting events. My favorite so far was the Yes Yes Yes Truffle. It has milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. All in all, a Dallas institution that I'm so glad I went to.
