So much fun for the brides and grooms during San Antonio Bridal Extravaganza! My daughter is…read moreengaged so she was so excited to see what the event offered and gave her ideas for their wedding day. So many vendors that offered catering, event planners, florist designers, bridal gowns, sooo much more. The fashion show seemed like every 60 minutes that presented bridal fashions for the day with flower girl, bridesmaids and grooms attire. We found a bridal consultant for her dress and very pleased with affordable prices. Looking for wedding information Yelp is a great place to come review the reviews on services. This event is held every year. I took lots of pictures so enjoy!

I just went to the January Extravaganza, and was happy that I read through all of these reviews for…read moresome tips. One thing that I did forget was a backpack, we got so much literature and other misc items, it was weighing us down. If you can convince your honey to come with you as well, that makes it a better experience in my book. I saw a lot of ladies alone there without their guys/significant others and I think that it helps to have the other half's opinion on everything you see to set a better direction. You will be very sick of cake and BBQ by the end of it, we got there at about 1ish and made him stay til the very end where they draw the prizes, that is the whole point in going as well....you could win up to $1,000 as the grand prize. My name scrolled by and they picked the person two names after for that, such a tease! But many women leave before this, so the chances are much better than winning the lotto that you will win these door prizes. I took a notebook with me as well to take notes, and took pictures as I could...some vendors say you can't take pictures. It was very helpful to talk with all of the wedding invitation vendors, if you are planning on doing your own invitations like I am...you get a few good ideas. Sign up for all of the drawings, I won a 50% discount on a photobooth for our wedding! So very happy days on that. The bridal bucks that they give you ($500 worth) can be used at select vendors, but they usually extend the deal to the next few weeks...so don't feel pressured to go with them the day off. We shopped around quite a bit for wedding photographers before deciding on one that we met at the show, it was nice to meet everyone and feel out their personality then and there. We were able to more effectively narrow down who we liked to schedule private meetings with them to go over the details better. The same applies for the caterers and bakeries. You will have to follow up with them though since so many people come through for the event, you have to be proactive. There are always deals to go here, I got in for free being the bride so it was basically a 2 for 1 deal. Don't ever pay full price for the ticket. I also encourage you not to give your name and number to the sponsors of the show because you will probably get spammed, I opted not too so the mailings have not been that terrible yet. Have a plan, we started on one side and made our way to the other side going up and down the rows...it will be very overwhelming and a mental drain on you but it is so very helpful in the wedding planning process to go to one of these shows. I do believe the January show is always the bigger show so just something to keep in mind if your planning schedule allows.

A liquor store and a vape shop, smack-dab right next to each other. It's a match made in heaven!…read moreMac (the friendly guy behind the counter on the liquor side) is super friendly, genuinely nice, and will go out of his way to make you feel welcome and accommodate any requests for items he may not yet carry. Both stores always smell immaculately clean and although the other dudes who work here (and in the vape shop) may seem aloof, they do have smiles on their faces and will help you with any questions you may have. Key takeaways: Liquor store - clean, friendly service, wide selection, mixers, candy & snacks, you can get in and out quickly, limited vapes and smoke-related products available, access to an ATM and they *do* take Apple Pay. Vape shop - don't be afraid to ask questions or for help, clean, wide variety of everything you'd normally find in a vape shop, some vape samples offered (you're trying to picture it but you can't so you'll just have to go in and see for yourself!) modestly priced. They're both under the same ownership and have tasting events occasionally. Go support a local business today!

There's a small selection of wines too which covers all the major varietals, with big named wines. The staff is none too helpful. It seems they don't drink. They kinda seem distrusting of the customers, keeping a real close eye on everything. The other stores in the center say that they don't mess around. Don't f around and find out! The prices here on the beer were a bit higher than the grocery store, but better off than the Valero. If you just wanna buy a major brand, there's cheaper places elsewhere. But they have all the fun accessories and party style drinks, like premixed bourbon and mango, or strawberry tequila and blueberry blunt wraps. Parking is easy! They're on the end of a big shopping center facing Babcock.

I stopped by Scentchips as part of a YSBSA event and was happily and pleasantly surprised…read more The recommendation on the nearby signs in La Villita to "follow your nose" worked. The wonderful fragrances wafting through the open door were a magnet. If you like the scented candles but want to change up the scents more frequently, or have a fragrance warmer but can't find the right aroma or are bored with what is available, then this might be the place to cure your discontent. Scentchips has an impressively big selection of fragrances, can make many of them at this location, and will allow you to mix and match to get the perfect combination. There are pre-mixed scents available as well; but getting those is not nearly as much fun. As you would expect for a place where your olfactory sense is getting overworked, Scentchips has the container of coffee beans available for inhaling that coffee aroma so as to help re-set your nose. There is something to the theory that your nose only can absorb about 3 different fragrances before it goes scent-numb. I can't say this is a place I would have thought to come by on my own, but I'm glad I did this time. In fact, i might even stop by again next time I'm in the area just to see if my scent-tastes have changed. The manager was as gracious as could be helping us find our way around, offering suggestions, and providing us with nicely wrapped packages to carry out our treasures. There was no YSB-SA event page that I could find, but thanks YSBSA for giving us the opportunity and thanks Scentchips for your hospitality.

Avon products are a two-fold love for me:…read more First: Avon products take me back to when I was a little boy and my grandmother would have monthly visits from the "Avon Lady" with all the latest and greatest products from AVON. Second: When I joined the Army, we used the Avon "Skin-so-Soft" oil for bug repellent and they worked wonderfully. The Nostalgic feeling, I get and the wonderful memories I feel every time I use this product truly makes my day better. So, finding The Avon Store was one of the best hidden gems I've found in San Antonio. It's a small family own business with delightful staff members to help you with your selections. I use to order everything online but this local store beats all of those prices and they have great deals to encourage you to buy more while saving. They also have a points system that you can use towards your purchases and the points do not expire. They are easy to find on Marbach road and have a lot of parking. If you love & enjoy Avon products this is the best place to purchase authentic Avon products for excellent prices.
