Hip Trinkle Chick, May 6, 2007.

Bonjour, this is Kimberly Wilson, and welcome to the 82nd edition of the Hip Trinklechick

podcast, a guide to life on and off the yoga mat.

While I'm in New York, for a month-long teacher training, I've got a series of fabulous

interviews lined up with some phenomenal women.

We'll resume a regular format when I return late May.

So stay tuned at Hiptrinklechick.com slash blog as I'll be musing regularly on my experience and insights during the training.

And a reminder that we have a few spots left for the Hip Trinkle Chick retreat in June,

complete with a holistic health chef, specialty workshops, and more.

Today's podcast is an interview with Linda Stein on aromatherapy, making products out of

all these exciting natural ingredients and her journey into this profession.

Linda Stein attended University of Maryland and George Washington University Law School.

In addition to being the founder and formulator of Zosemus Botanicals, she teaches sign

language classes and is a part-time trademark attorney.

She began hand-crafting mineral makeup and skin care in 2004 of her private clients using

all-natural oils, butter, waxes, floral waters, and extracts.

Whence Linda formulated her own line, she decided to launch a website,

and she firmly believes in using ingredients revered in other cultures in her products to benefit her clients.
