This glam gal has performed her artistry fom East to West coast on celebrities such as Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, The Dixie Chicks, Donald Trump, Jay Z, Tom Hanks and many more. She also spends her time speaking & teaching nationwide on natural/organic cosmetics.

In addition, Karim is the eco-cosmetic expert for ELLE magazine - look for the 'green' issue coming out in May.

Karim admitted to "turning a lot of friends on to" Solessence's signature creamed sugar & coconut milk scrub. Her favorite scent? Yuzu Gold

Soul Pitch Media Review


Hey, we've been away for awhile getting ready for 2007, but check out what Soul Pitch Media has to say about our organic creamed sugar & coconut milk scrub:


STYLE ADDICTIONS
smell good feel good look good! The need
to feel luxurious and stylish is everyones addiction. Our beauty, fashion, music
and tech editors have tested the new products and reveal the must have for the
new year! This is definately the power of pampering! SheaShea combines the
fabulous properties of unrefined African shea butter (solid) and oil (liquid)
with coconut milk to create a luxurious bath treatment.


After a loooong day at the office I decided to try this beauty
regimen, and the fabulous aroma of tranquility was all around. My rough skin
became smooth in seconds and the feel of beauty was all around me.

Hope you have been having a great holiday...

Solessence added to Whole Foods/Union Square

Ah, Union Square. Growing up in SF, that meant the wonderland of Gumps, high end hotels, and an oasis of green (also, Quantas Airlines where I got a real stuffed koala as a kid! gulp).

On the East Coast, it means a serious hub of shopping and traffic as well, where the city connects from all points. Whole Foods is on 14th (between Broadway & University), and adds Solessence scrubs and lotions to the mix. Take a peek on your way home, especially accomodating with the new holiday hours:

Solessence partners with Whole Foods West Orange (NJ)

The brand new location shines with unique items, including Solessence products.

~~~

Unlike any other Whole Foods Market in New Jersey, the West Orange location will include numerous new features not found at any other Whole Foods Market in the Northeast. A sit-down eatery named ‘Seafood Shack’ and a prepared-to-order fresh Latin fare eatery headline the list of new features. Dozens of other highlights include a candy and nut roasting island, an old world gelato bar and the largest kosher foods selection of any Whole Foods Market on the East Coast.

“The next generation of Whole Foods Markets is opening in West Orange. We’re excited to update the Whole Foods Market shopping experience for our loyal shoppers of New Jersey, who have seen the natural and organic food industry grow from a collection of small retail outposts to a new exciting shopping experience that can only be had in West Orange,” says Christina Minardi, president of Whole Foods Market’s Northeast Region.

The MakeUp Girl wouldn't make this up

I saw Solessence in US Magazine a while back and had to see what all the fuss was about. People were raving about it...how it smelled so good and was so moisturizing. Or how the products were paraben free & wheat free with no artifical colorings. I had to...no I needed to see what it was all about. I was so excited when my package arrived...I got 3 things which I will share with you today...

Shea Shea Intense Hand and Body Butter WHOA....this is what I meant when I used the butter lyrics before. This is no joke, and if you have dry skin like me, this is a godsend...(review continues)


Shea Shea Coconut Cream Lotion Good LAWD...will these people just stop? Apparently not, this one is like the Lighter version of the butter...(review continues)


Shea Shea Creamed Sugar and Coconut Milk Scrub This one had me on the floor. It was the Creme de la Coconut fragrance I mentioned before...(review continues)
