About Us

 Christine T. Kealaonaona Wardle (aka; Ms Chrissie)
Owner, Design & Aesthetics, Advertising, Mixing/Blending/Cooking, Tester

Native Hawaiian, born & raised on the island of Kauai (The Garden Isle).
My Hawaiian name is too long and too hard to pronounce for most and it takes up 2 lines on my drivers license… so I go by Ms Chrissie.
My “tutu” grandmother taught us the Hawaiian ways.
I learned to hula very young and toured with a group of dancers, dancing nightly at Luau’s for tourists and even Elvis Presley. Graduated from 3 Universities in childhood education. Now a retired teacher, my husband and I live on our high mountain ranch in Eastern Utah where we work very hard. We wrangle grandkids, ranch animals, chickens, bees, work a huge summer garden, watch deer, elk, coyotes, cougars and every wild thing here in our mountains, and it’s also where we hand-make all of our wonderful KauaiGirlSoap products.

My husband is superman. He is a true “Mountain Man” cowboy who grew up in the Rocky Mountains. A natural born hunter/tracker as well as a super handyman (friends call him MacGyver). He is a instrument rated pilot who flew many Angel Flight missions (where the LeMoore Naval Air Pilots he worked with gave him the handle: Captain Wingnut). He can do complicated math in his head, has an uncanny sense of direction, is a chemist, an unbelievable dog trainer, animator, graphic artist, musician (guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin), a carpenter, an electrician, is a walking encyclopedia with a photographic memory, and who retired from a distinguished career at FSU, then became Vice President of I.T. of the largest private bank in California as well as VP of I.T. for a major publishing company, and the best part, he is my partner in life and at KauaiGirlSoap.
