Keke Palmer covered some serious ground on Saturday in South Florida.

The singer-actor who’s the face of Creme of Nature haircare company was spotted in two neighborhoods to the delight of her fans.

First stop: A Walmart meet and greet in Doral, where Palmer posed for selfies, signed posters and gave out the latest in the CoN arsenal, Scalp Relief Wipes, which she helped develop.

The “Akeelah and the Bee” star then moved on to Wynwood Marketplace for a pop-up inside a yellow and red truck. The 32-year-old happily handed out more samples, plus coconut water drinks.

The Illinois native was in great spirits, posting a snippet from the festive activations on Instagram, thanking folks who helped her put it all together.

Speaking of having things together: By Monday night, the “Password” host was stealing the spotlight at another event, Chanel’s 18th annual Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner in NYC, celebrating bold-faced names in fashion, arts and entertainment.

Harper’s Bazaar shared a clip of a red-carpet chat with the hard-working Palmer, who joked she deserved “one drink” on her fancy night out.

In the comments, one of the magazine’s followers summed up what a lot of us were thinking:

“I’m jealous of every single person that gets to meet with Keke. She is definitely a friend in my head.”
