    @@jenniferrobin2466 you are not alone in this battle. God is meeting you where you are, and He is your strength. Even if you only get half an hour of time in on your soap making it is progress. Chemo is tough and takes a lot out of you as you know. Be kind to yourself as you work through this clinging to God every step.

    Holly, I found a good trick for settling my soap without picking it up and smacking it down. I have a back massager that I set on the table and let it vibrate for a minute. Works great and saves your shoulders.

    Holly, the more you show us the design, the more I see how they resemble what we see through your window. It’s like a copy picture of your background( of course not as white like your ground is now covered by the snow) but still. And you always get the best swirls with thick batters.

    I’m so glad ur back! U were missed. How much snow did I get? I’m in upstate NY but I’m up the mountain in the southern Catskills and it snowed but it didn’t accumulate. But it’s in the 30’s now so I can’t wait for the snow. In the winter it smells like cedar,pine and walnut trees with that clean crisp snow mixed in and if u live anywhere that u have mountains w cold winters and snow u know exactly what I mean. My favorite part of the snow is when it snows at night and I open my window and all u can hear is the snow falling onto the snow onto the snow already on the ground, but my favorite part is just when the sun starts to come up. Everything looks blue like a painting of a blue blanket laid on top of the snow and it’s so quiet that u can hear the quiet. That’s my favorite part.

I have a few questions to ask you one question is I’m wondering if you’re going to be making your coffee soap and your coffee scrub in other products that goes along with the coffee products because that’s my mom‘s favorite and I’m wanting to get some Products from you if you’re making some coffee products My second question is, can you make any soap product without witch hazel because I’m allergic to it and I can’t buy your soap with witch hazel and I was wondering if you’re gonna be making anything in pomegranates thanks Holly it’s really good to see you hon can’t wait for the next video

    Hi Leah, I do plan on making the coffee soap soon and some scrubs to go with it. That will be ready early next year most likely. The scrubs might appear sooner. We'll see. As far as witch hazel, I don't put that in my soap but it is something that may pop up in other products. No plans for pomegranate scents this year. Thanks!

    Great Holly you managed the acceleration well. Can I ask as your studio is rather cool inside did you wrap your soap for 24hours? I can’t wait to re start making but maybe after Christmas after our sojourn over seas for five months. Just wish I had a beautiful studio like yours. I’m still in our small open plan kitchen but great view over the river here.
