Local entrepreneur Kara Nelson has added a wellness centered community hub to Sarasota. Her newest venture, Fixxation Boutique, which opened in October of 2019, aims to connect like-minded women who value quality goods and demand a clean conscious. Completely unassuming from the outside, Nelson has filled the boutique with reputable clean beauty and wellness products, along with clothing brands that focus on ethical production processes and design with sustainability in mind. After having to close her doors after just five months of being open due to to COVID-19, she is now back open and planning a series of events that aims to bring together other local business owners and create a small business alliance. Adapting to the new business retail environment, Nelson has planned an array of exciting events that allow for social distancing, while providing locals with a taste of normalcy. The grand reopening events will start on Wednesday, July 8 and ends on Saturday, July 11, having one event per day.

On Wednesday July 8 from 11am to 1pm, Nelson will be hosting the Sun Coast Blood Center for a blood drive.
