Come celebrate the life and accomplishments of our gifted friend, Marisa Hernandez. Her story is an inspiring one. For almost four decades now Marisa has shared her talents with us. As an exuberant Spanish skincare pioneer and business woman, Marisa discovered the importance of using natural and organic ingredients to be absolutely essential for daily hygiene and personal care.
Marisa has poured her vast knowledge into developing her extraordinary skincare line, Inventive Eco-Organic™. Her revitalizing treatments have brought soothing relief, self-confidence and beauty to all that she has touched. She has brought her talents, instruction and guidance concerning skincare to our Texas community and now it is our turn to contribute to her healing and well being.
Marisa is now fighting the battle of breast cancer and we want you to join us to “give-back” to this wondrous woman. Our support and contribution during this trying time can help bring wellness back into Marisa’s life giving her the strength and joy to continue sharing the magic of her passion with us for years to come.
We will be hosting several fundraising parties in her honor and we would be delighted if you could attend any or all of them! This invitation is open to all so please feel free to bring guests, the more the merrier! Let’s share our positive energy with Marisa together!
You can also help support Marisa financially by purchasing Inventive Eco-Organic products. Monies earned in this manner will ensure that her business stays intact. You may also donate funds directly online (http://bit.ly/hkEHYC). Your monetary contribution will assist in paying for medical treatments and medications.
Our Sincere Thanks and Love,
Marisa’s Support Crew

Lashtastic



Spring has just sprung and yet it's already starting to feel like summer. As the weather gets warmer, dear readers, we all look for ways to keep cool and feel fresh. Whether that involves finding a nice shady spot to enjoy patio drinks or shopping for some new frocks, the change in weather is welcome after being bundled up for months and blasting the heaters. One way to wake up looking fresh and fabulous is to have your lashes tinted. The process only takes about 15 minutes of your time, uses vegetable dye and is an instant eye opener! Lash tinting is a great alternative for fair haired beauties as well as a great cover up for grays. The best part is that you eliminate the need for mascara, which when summer rolls around is a plus plus for any outdoor activities like swimming or let's just face it...walking in this Central Texas humidity.
Give us a call at 512.469.0447 to book your appointment with Joann, Emily or Elizabeth.
Sabia is open 7 days a week.
We look forward to pampering you!

Inspiration: Three Twisted Buns

Today we are inspired by this post we saw on one of our favorite blogs, A Cup of Jo.  

It is a beautiful, simple and fun way to wear your hair this Spring. What is your go-to fast easy updo?



1. This style is so easy, it's laughable. Day-old hair is best (which is true for most hairstyles, since it's easier to work with hair that has a little dirt in it).
2. Divide your hair into three equal parts and quickly spray each section with a little hairspray to help give it hold. Let the hairspray set for a couple seconds, and then lightly comb it out.
3. Take the section on your right side, and twist your hair all the way down to the end. You want to twist counter-clockwise, toward your face. Wrap the right section in on itself, just like you're making a little bun. Let some of the hair stick out, it's ok (you don't want them to look like Princess Leia buns).
4. Pin the right bun in place. I like to use these mini bobby pins, since they're easier to hide and they're coated in rubber so they hold your hair better.
5. Next, twist the middle section clockwise and pin. Then twist the left section clockwise and pin.
6. Spray the three buns with a little more hairspray, and you're done!
