Shaka Soap going to the Primetime Emmys
Shaka Soap will participate in a luxury celebrity gift lounge Sept. 21 and 22 at an exclusive location in Hollywood, Calif., in honor of the 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards nominees and presenters. Shaka Soap is participating in the annual event in association with The Artisan Group.
“We are so thrilled to be a part of another celebrity event like the Primetime Emmys,” said Jessica Taylor, Shaka Soap proprietor. “It is such an exciting opportunity and an honor for our company.”
All attending nominees and presenters will each receive a jar of Shaka Soap’s sugar scrub and a shea butter lip balm in their complimentary “swag” bag.
In addition to involvement in the Primetime Emmy Awards, the Waimea-based company recently participated as a display artisan June 1 and 2 at L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., in honor of the the 2012 MTV Movie Awards nominees and presenters. Shaka Soap has also had the opportunity to provide donations for a fundraiser for MS and participate in an Earth Day event.
Following the Primetime Emmys, Taylor is preparing her Hawaiian bath and body products to be on display, backstage, at the official gift lounge for the Country Music Awards from Oct. 29 to Nov. 1.
Fairmont Orchid donates athletic gear
Representatives from The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii has donated workout gear and running shoes to members of Waimea Middle Public Conversion Charter School’s cross-country team during afternoon practice Wednesday. Regional Vice President Hawaii and General Manager Chris Luedi then ran with the team, followed by a healthy snack prepared by Executive Chef Hubert Des Marais.
“When we switched brands of athletic gear we provide to our Fairmont President’s Club members, we had a surplus of gently used athletic tops, shorts and shoes,” said Luedi. “When we learned that many members of (the school’s) cross-country program didn’t have good running shoes of their own, it seemed like the perfect fit.”
“We are extremely grateful for this generous donation,” said Principal Matt Horne. “These items will be put to good use both for the cross-country team and other after-school sports as well.”
