Siser and I took our nine year old girls to see JUSTIN BIEBER in Charlotte N.C.
It made all those girls screaming,passing out,and jumping all over each other at the Beatles,or Elvis look like Lawrence Welk.
There must have been 80,000 nine to fifteen year olds girls screaming. Siser and I could not  ...

Nothing touches my heart anymore than when customers send me emails, letters, and testimonies! Especially when it is from a child! I have artwork in my office from children that is so precious. I will post one of them down below. What is really touching is they come from all over the United States!
About a month ago I had 3 girls knocking on the door (we were closed) I came to the door and they had a Ohio gift basket everything in it was from, or made in Ohio! These girls make the soap shop part of their vacation every time they come to Wilmington. I was so touched I did not know what to say.
I try to always let my customers know how much I appreciate them,and if it were not for them I would not be here. But when they let you know how much they appreciate you it is very touching. Below is a note that was attached to a order from the website.
Dear Out Of Eden,I don’t know if you’ll remember us,my daughter and I use to shop with you when you were downtown.I love your Pine Tar,it’s amazing for...

I was at the Sonic this past weekend with Siser. Placed my order. The young man on skates rolls out with my order,I rolled my window down and he says is that Nag Champa or Patchouli? Siser and I start laughing. She had just said when I picked her up you smell like patchouli.(I had just showered) Then she said I do not even like patchouli and you smell good. In fact she said Rosebud her 9 year old daughter wants me to bring some of the patchouli soap home,because of all the attention I got using it. Plus my 9 year old bathes with it and EVERYONE at their school WCA always comes up just to smell her. True Story!
What makes our Patchouli smell so good and so much better?
1. we grow our on patchouli
What is Patchouli? A lot of people do not know it is a plant/Herb.

Customers ask me weekly, How did you get the name Out Of Eden? Well, when I found out I actually had a real business, I thought, I want a strong name and a biblical name. I have always loved Meryl Streep. She played such a strong women in Out of Africa . That’s where Out Of came from. Of course Eden came from the Garden of Eden in the Bible. I love to garden,and I love everything pure and clean and natural. I put them together and there it is Out Of Eden Soaps. Going on 12 years of handcrafting the purest, soaps,lotions,and organic body products, I can make. God Bless Carol

Today Candy and I made 8 huge loaves of cold process soap.That’s like making 8 homemade 7 layer chocolate cakes from scratch! We made 2 loaves of Patchouli 3 loaves of Dead Sea Mud 2 loaves of Organic olive oil 1 loaf of French Rose Clay That is almost a record for Out Of Eden Soaps. One day on a really good Latte I made 10 loaves! The kicker was until about 4 in the afternoon we had no AC. I was determine to get it done. I figure if people can work outside on roofs in 100 degree weather, I can work inside with fans! Needless to say it was a productive day!

The eleven + years we have been in business has shown us there are TONS of people/ children with sensitive skin,and allergies . I have been working hard on developing and testing organic and vegan products. The detergents in over the counter soaps are extremely drying...

For 11 years straight Wrightsville breeze has been our number one selling soap. The name is after Wrightsville Beach NC. Which is about 5 miles max from my soap kitchen. We are so close our address is 3342 Wrightsville Ave.
The soap is a very pretty color of sea foam green with either a sand dollar or another beautiful shell placed on top of the bow.The scent is very fresh and oceany when ever I use it people always ask “what fragrance are you wearing.
If you are looking for a soap for a gift this is your soap. Father’s day is Sunday make Dad and his bathroom smell fresh!
Men and women LOVE this soap.We sell so much we make it in lotion bars,salts,scrubs,and even the fragrance by itself.
So if you can not make it to the beach this year let us send it home to you!

The other day I opened up a can of canned peaches. Yuck! They did not even taste like peaches! They just tasted like something sweet and stale. Kinda like when you leave a watermelon in the fridge,and you do not cover it. You come back the next day to slice off a little bit and it taste funky.
Well it is sorta the same with our soaps. I challenge you to use a grocery store bought soap,then try our soap. If you do not LOVE our soap I will send your money back! That pretty much wraps it up.
Like the peaches, you can have canned peaches made months ago with no taste or enjoyment.Or you can buy fresh peaches,and taste,smell, and see the difference.
Our soaps are made fresh daily,with fresh herbs I grow. We use organic oils,or natural oils depending on what I am making.We use essential oils.
Our soaps are made in small batches so I can physically handle all the ingredients.
I make sure they are the best on the market or they go home with me for my family to use.
Homemade...

Today we had a soap making birthday party for a little girl turning 4. She had 6 friends come,some drove a hour to the party because they had heard about the soap shop,but had never come to shop, or visit.
I wish I could post pictures,but I can’t. I have to protect their identity.
Ages ranged from 2-6 years old, boys and girls.The children had more fun in the soap kitchen then they did eating cake!
They kept coming back to the kitchen with icing all over their sweet little faces asking in their munchkin voices is the soap ready.
Can we make another soap.
They got so excited about being able to mix,add fragrance glitter,and pour their own soaps. Yes it went everywhere,but to see their faces,watching their friends pour their own soap.In their own mold,with their own designs that they made was awesome.
The littlest things made them so happy. I do not even recognize them anymore the smell,the shapes they made,all the colors. Knowing they were going to bathe with the soap...

This blog is gonna big short and sweet. Like my first Husband! I love Kashi frozen dinners! When ever I want something good to eat,and just can not stomach Mc D. I go to my favorite grocery store and pick up a cart full of theses. I know they cost more than other frozen foods,but check the label,it is so much better for you.Plus when you pull up to the window at your favorite fast food it cost the same! Now don’t let them go on sale at the grocery store.I’ll be there everyday stocking up.I tell ya they are that yummy! Thank you Kashi for helping me feel good about what I eat,when I’m in a hurry which is most of the time!
