    The secrets out, and downtown Durham just got a major wellness upgrade. @OakAndGlowMedSpa is the very first medspa to open in the downtown Durham area. Founded by a dedicated team of Nurse Practitioners, this stunning new spot is all about celebrating that local Durham connection while elevating your skin and wellness routine. To celebrate their grand opening, they hosted a private event complete with a curated selection of yummy bites catered by @nerradurham and custom goodie bags. It was the perfect relaxed environment to connect, ask questions, and dive deep into their entire lineup of advanced aesthetic and medical treatments. We talked about everything from the subtle, lifting power of injectables and biostimulators to texture-renewing microneedling, medical-grade skincare, and cutting-edge wellness therapies like GLPs and peptides. If you’re ready to approach your self-care journey with total confidence, check them out. 📍Durham, NC - 506 Ramseur Street, Ste 4 Fun Fact: While medical spas have historically been tucked away in suburban medical plazas, the modern trend of urban “boutique clinical spaces” grew by over 35% in recent years as consumers began prioritizing accessible, high-end clinical treatments integrated directly into their walkable downtown routines. ✔️HEART this post ✔️JOIN the @curated_taste community ✔️SEND my posts to others ✔️SAVE for later ✔️COME back for more

    What a discovery this was! The food was absolutely wonderful. Very creative. This is primarily a seafood restaurant, and they really know what they are doing. We don’t often dine in Durham, but we will be doing so more often now.

    Extraordinarily good service. Delicious, thoughtfully prepared dishes, though a somewhat focused menu. Charming covered patio space. Delighted that our server was able to describe the word 'Nerra' as being associated with the power of the natural world.

    Food was very good but the waitress was not. She could have been new. But she lost out on a higher bill with a higher tip because she didn’t meet our needs.
