Born and raised in Forestburg, Alysha of AA Soap Creations has always had a creative spirit. From a young age, she was drawn to writing, drawing, and designing—constantly exploring ways to express her creativity. After moving away for a year, she found herself with free time and a desire for a meaningful hobby. A chance visit to Michaels introduced her to soap-making, sparking an unexpected passion. While Alysha initially joked about “feeling like an old lady making soap in the kitchen,” the craft quickly became something she truly loved. What began as a hobby soon transformed into AA Soap Creations, as family and friends could only use so much soap! With a dedication to quality and creativity, Alysha expanded her skills to include lotions, lip balms, bath bombs, and more, all handcrafted in her parents' basement. Now 21 and balancing a part-time waitressing job, she devotes her remaining hours to creating unique bath products for the Flagstaff community. Self-taught through tutorials, recipes, and her own imagination, she has built AA Soap Creations with a mission to bring natural, artisanal products to local markets and, one day, boutiques across Flagstaff County and Alberta. Looking to the future, Alysha dreams of opening a storefront in the Flagstaff Region, where she can showcase her creations and connect directly with customers, sharing the joy and quality of handcrafted bath products with the community.
