    2:26 in Europe we use ml wich means mililiters but we can say ML, it’s easier and everyone understands perfectly. I prefer ml cause it’s the universal measure of liquids. As grams is universal measure for weight. When i have a recipe in ounces; inches; pounds; that is confusing. But saying ML is trully correct cause it’s exacly what it says on the jug.

I find myself going to be well past midnight on work nights but you are so creative. One thing I would love to share with you. We live in a world that will always have nasty people who have nothing better to do than criticize. I hope you take it with a grain of salt, or simply ignore it. That is one thing that can bring a person's spirit down and it's just not worth an ounce of your energy. Keep going what you are doing, keep being successful and keep being real. We love you. Cathi

    Thank you! I find that not only was the expense an issue, but I almost always lost money on International orders. That is why I had to discontinue them. I have been scammed, I've had customers claim they didn't like the scents after they had been boxed up together for 8 weeks, I've had customers not want to pay customs, I've had damaged packages that the USPS wouldn't cover because it had been sitting in another country for so long, etc.. I used to ship International a lot but so many things happened that I could have just tossed the order in the trash myself and made more money. LOL

    Lilac is my favorite flower scent as well, with Lilly of the Valley coming in a close second. You mentioned the designs for the tops of your soaps, and I must say that I prefer a soap with a more minimalistic design on the top. I see some soap makers put a lot of effort in building up the tops of their soaps with piping bags and protruding embeds (and sometimes with non-soap items like paper straws and such), and although they may have an initial visual appeal, it seems to me that they would be a little awkward to handle. I like your wavy top designs and low profile embed designs because it keeps the bar rectangular and easier to use. Maybe it's because I'm a guy, but I don't need that tower of soap and embeds piled up on the top. I see your designs as being more practical and more user friendly. You're a talented soap maker and you do a lot with color and low profile embeds, like holly leaves, stars, soap balls & cubes, pumpkins, leaves, shreds, glitter, etc... Sometimes I watch other soap makers piling things on the tops of their soaps and I say, "Why? Why are you doing that? You don't need all that. Stop! Wait, you're piping another layer?" 😂 I admit that some of them look quite nice, and if I was buying those soaps strictly based on eye appeal, that would be fine, but I prefer to purchase and use a bar that fits in my hand nicely. I guess that's the long winded way of saying that I like your soap designs, where the eye appeal is inside the soap (colors, designs, and embeds) and in the swirls and low profile embeds you place on top. 🙂

    Thank you Ken! I would say that Lily of the Valley is my second favorite too. I am not sure I've ever smelled them for reals but I know the fragrance oil is one of my favorites. Yes, I see some of those high top soaps and think they are certainly beautiful and fun but they are not something I would choose myself. I like a rectangular or square bar and also one that doesn't have to be shrink wrapped.

The breeze smells amazing :) Once I get my recipe sorted, I'm going to make daffodil scented soap! I'll see if I can find a lilac fragrance oil and try that too. Thanks for your videos, you've no idea how excited I am each time I see a new video up. I'm pleased you are having fun again xx

    Hi Holly! Lilac soap is one of my favorites and I love the smell of lilacs in the garden. Our big lilac got struck last fall by lightning, so we'll need to replace it. I'm in the process of making a little herb garden in our side yard. We use a lot of basil. oregano, chives and such. I'm also looking to put 3 tomatoe plants with the herbs. My Schriener's Iris catalog came Monday and I'm already picking and choosing. Although they can't be planted till fall. We have about 16 different colors now, but I've beenadicted for years, so, I order new stock every other year. I need some more Lilly bulbs, but if I don't get it done this week it'll be to late! So, those are the garden plans. Glad to see your enjoying the process while making soap. I love to watch the pouring of soap myself! Have a wonderful weekend! Jill Gross

    Hi Jill! How sad that your lilac got struck by lightning! GEEZ! I didn't know I liked basil until recently so I think I will try to plant some as well. I have a chive plant that always comes back and does well year after year. Cilantro is my fave garden herb! I started following Schriener's last fall and wow, they have amazing iris colors! I was just telling my husband that I want to plant an iris garden this fall. That is another flower that we had at our house in MT. I can completely transport back to being a kid and just the sight and smell and just general atmosphere of them there. I remember that they smelled a bit like vanilla. Does that sound right? We have purple ones here but they don't really smell like much of anything.

My mother and I would linger there after my lessons with our faces in the flowers 😊 Thanks for the reminder of that memory!!! I'm in a small PNW apartment these days, so no gardening for me at the moment. As always, I love your video and your soaps.

I have one by my bedroom window that's taller than my (single story) house. It doesn't produce a ton of flowers but I can still sometimes sit next to my open window this time of year and if the breeze is just right I can smell the lilac blooms. I also have a nice big bush in my front yard that isn't as tall but it produces lots of blooms. I think lilacs are my favorite flower as well ☺️

    I recently made a purple soap...only one of the 3 purples I used stayed purple. I thought I had added more than enough to keep the darker colors true to the idea I had in mind, but the slight discoloration from my FO and the general fickle nature of purples got the best of me. 😅 They turned into two different shades of ugly grey, so instead of trying to rebatch it, I just made it into laundry soap.

    Hi Holly, I bought a bar of your Lilac soap and I have to say it's very light scent, it smells just like a Lilac bush 🥰. My mom had one and it was her favorite flower and I love them too. Thank you for such a lovely soap, now I have to get some of that scent lol, but the bad part is the bees like it too lol, they think I'm a Lilac flower and I don't like being chased by bees, so I'll save it for winter. BTW, how do you get your soaps so smooth and silky feeling? I use a planer on mine too, but they don't come out as nice as yours, do you use a steamer?

    Do you mind if I ask, what ratio you use to make your TD and how much you use per pound of soap, I can’t seem to get my soap to get whit even though I use 1 to 2 ratio, can never get a good white soap even with non discoloring fragrance. Thank you ❤

    Titanium dioxide is hard. I have the best luck using water soluble. I tend to mix up enough for several batches at one time. I usually do 6 tsp TD to 4-5 TBSP of water. I usually find that it's when the TD isn't blended well is when it doesn't pack a punch. I will usually heat up the TD/water mixture in the microwave for about 20 seconds and then blend it up again. Typically, they say 1 tsp ppo but I never have needed to use that much to get a nice white. That would be too much for me. What color is your unscented soap without color or fragrance? Sometimes greenish olive oils can cause your TD to be a bit lacking.
