Emily's gift idea

Emily Collins, one of our Estheticians has put together her idea of the perfect gift for an 'At Home Spa Treatment'. 

Per Emily, This package speaks to that person that wants the best quality in their products. 

Rubis tweezers are used by Sabia esthetician's. Kneipp salt baths use only the highest quality dead sea salts and Eucalyptus oil. Aesop clay mask and hand balm smell so yummy you want to eat them!

All available at Sabia.

Finishing up with Miss Emily

Emily has been so busy this week! But, we finally got her to answer our last set of questions...

Can you tell us what is always a staple in your purse?

‘Whether Im heading out on the town or to work, I always have TRUE pressed powder in Fair 1 and Jao Lip Balm.’

What music have you been listening to lately?

‘I have been really into the male singer songwriters lately. David Gray, Amos Lee, Pete Yorn and Matt Nathanson.’

Whats the last film you saw at the cinema?

‘Eat, Pray, Love’ - however, I wasn't a big fan. I thought the character was a bit whiney for my taste’

Do you have a favorite local coffee shop?

‘Sweetish Hill! Im there every other day for breakfast and a latte, skim no foam (in case anyone is wondering), please and thanks!’

Staple item from your closet?

‘Any of my scarves! This Southern girl is NOT OK with cold weather!’

What is your favorite TV Show?

‘Gossip Girl! I love the boys and the fashion is TO DIE!’

Favorite Austin restaurant?

‘Austin has so so many great restaurants! Too difficult to choose just one, but I return to Moonshine, Perlas, Imperia and Eddie V's’

Favorite Austin Landmark?

‘Town Lake is where I take my pups!

'It's good to pay attention to your skin' says Emily Collins

Do you have any recommendations as we move into the drier winter months?

‘Add Inventive Organic Jojoba Oil to your moisturizer to give it a boost, this way you can finish your product and buy a stronger one when your done, plus it eliminates waste!’

Tips on skincare?

‘You should pay attention to your skin. My skin fluctuates daily on how much moisturizer I need, or if any at all, especially in the Texas heat . In cases like these, I use the Hydrobalance Tonic from the Inventive Line to thin out my moisturizer or just the tonic by itself if I'm feeling too oily.'

What is your before bed ritual?

‘My ritual is consistently going thru my routine every night! When you change your routine drastically, your skin can look dull or break out.

Our skin loves consistency. However, if you do change give a product at least 2 weeks to work it's magic and then decide if its right for you.’
