Karma Princess

Karma Princesses are about butterflies, sparkles, dreams, daisy chains, butter icing and rainbows. They explore the world with an innocence yet inner knowing. They are the girls everyone remembers at school. They believe in Peter Pan.  They dance to Abba and their favorite food is Magnolia cupcakes. They collect jewellery boxes and seashells and can sing up a storm. They steal your lipstick; adore ruby slippers, own Hello Kitty sunglasses and love Edward Cullen. They are about moments, magic, memories and all things beautiful. These are the little princesses that grow up tomorrow to become Karma women and we are the people who have been there with them from the very beginning.
