My husband and I visited Appalachian Natural Soaps when we were in Asheville last month. The…read moreemployee who helped us, Drew, was very patient and helpful. He talked to us about our skin concerns and offered a lot of advice on their products. You could tell that Drew loves working here and helping others. The soaps and candles here are handcrafted in this shop and make great souvenirs to take home to friends and family or for yourself. My husband bought and is currently using their soaps for shaving, and I have a candle in my home office. The items aren't cheap, but they are a good value for a local, handmade product. Drew also gave us some coupons to use on the website in case we want to order more products in the future. We love coming to local shops like this when we travel, so we'll be back the next time we're in Asheville.

What counts is that I am reviewing this "Mecca of Moisture" first. Ha! Bath and Body Works smells good throughout the store, so if you get headaches easily, stay away. Men cannot last in there for very long. They linger outside, embarrassed that they are tethered by an invisible leash to dominant females. B and B has it all: their famous hand sanitizers, which were just redesigned, forcing you to purchase a new hand sanitizer cozy; lotions, bath gel, candles, body sprays, room scents for sprayers and fancy-stick placers, bar soap, hand soap, footcare, baskets for gift giving, and facial care. You have limbs and crevices? Well, they have products for them. Some scents are seasonal. Most prices are decent; a few are too high. Hand soap and candles should not cost so much that you have to work overtime to afford them. Some stuff can be on sale, but not enough to sway me. It is also difficult to find things on sale, as the store is crowded with product. They do give you a coupon after purchasing something. It can be used in-store or online. I have just discovered that the travel sizes are perfect for presenting as gifts to preteens. Most of the employees are sweet. Sometimes you get one who has never used jazz hands. They are not outright rude, just lackluster in your interest in finding "Warm Vanilla" anything. I have a confession- both me and my younger daughter have been using my older daughter's bath gel behind her back. I have to go back to B and B before she notices. Ha!

I typically prefer local businesses especially in Asheville to chains, but this one gets a pass…read morebecause it's quite good. I've purchased many rubs, salts, spices, and sugars from them over the years and all of them have been amazing. I especially like their smoked salts. I like to bake giant chocolate chip cookies and sprinkle them with the smoked salt crystals to give them an extra layer of flavoring. You can taste anything you want such as the salts or sugars or rubs, just ask one of the associates to help you. You can smell anything you like yourself by just opening the jars and taking a nice whiff. Many items come in bags and some come in shakers. If you get something coarse you can ask for a grinder top that goes on your shaker for when you want smaller particles. I love the butchers blend general purpose seasoning for many things. My kids love the cinnamon sugar shaker with a grinder top....the put it on everything and we frequently run out. In addition to salts, spices, and sugars they have a huge tea selection. And before you scoff at the prices, just remember it takes just a tiny amount of these high quality loose leaf teas to make a cup of tea. Teas that you buy in the store are not fresh and are harvested too early, commercialized, and it requires a lot more to get the flavor you want. So these tiny bags of tea really do last a long time. I like to look up ancient tea and herbal blends online and then buy all the components here and make my own teas to try and then adjust the recipes to my liking. They often have some free samples of tea and other items to try hot or cold in the store, just ask. For me this is a store I always stop at when visiting Asheville.
