I like, really like e-commerce and social marketing.
And I also really like sharing information and resources, empowering my tribe here on my site.
You can find out all that info by clicking around, but here is where you’ll e-meet me.
Karina is the name and most days you can find me perched on a couch in my office, nursing a cold cup of coffee and catching up with my clients and business partners or in class working on my Masters in Food Science. My office has a beautiful south-facing view where I can take a peak at my vegetable garden and usually onto my kids playing street hockey.
I’ll be sitting here, fancy up-top so I can hop on a video-chat at a moment’s notice, but probably rocking leggings, 3 pairs of socks and a lap-blanket covered in dog hair from the waist down.

I’m obsessed with my 2 dogs, watching old episodes of the The Office and will take my latte flat with almond milk, extra hot, please. I am totally a smitten kitten with my kids too, but.. well… they simply are too old to be leashed.
Sidebar: I also think I’m funny. And I’m pretty sure most of the stuff that may leave you saying WTF around here will be my sad attempts at humour.
When I’m not too busy, you’ll find me with my nose in a book on a beach somewhere. Living in the Pacific Northwest provides so many beautiful beaches that we live at all year round
I share some of that stuff on the social channels listed below but to get the real nitty gritty, you gotta pick up my weekly love letters in your inbox.
Do people still have those?
You bet. I use mine to share not only exclusive content and product discounts on health and wellness stuff, but also meal plans, GF living advice and a glimpse into my life and business thats bigger and less filtered than you’ll see on social media.
Think of it as my personal love letter to you every week.
sooo…..
Hope to see ya around!
xoxo,
