About

A family photo in front of a Christmas tree with mom seated, smiling, holding a toddler, and dad standing in the back looking down at the child.

My name is Ariel Heise and I live in Van Buren, MO with my husband, Shaun, and my son, River. I have owned Southern Temptations by Ariel since September of 2016. Making quality soap and candles is my top priority. I love coming up with new fragrances to keep my products enjoyable during every season. As an adult with a degree of Autism, I never thought I would have my own business, but I am happy to say that this business is everything I dreamed of.
