I think she is a very bubbly person! I love it! Feels like we are already girlfriends! 😂 she remindes me of my friends and I! Anyways, I see this is from 7 months ago! I'm brand new to soap making. Everything ive made is measured by oz! Not to sound stupid, but what were your measurements? I see you made a big batch. That's ok. I would like to make a big batch too. Is it better to measure in % or oz? Thanks!
I feel like you could make pretty/interesting soaps that have skin lovin ingredients! Charcoal and tea tree but split at a diagonal. So half green with some sort of scrubby little seeds and half black with the charcoal. All tea tree scented. 🤭😋
@@zarahhammer4202 Yeah, when I saw that video I really hoped she was using my comment as an inspiration but she didn't. That soap was still cool though!
I voted for "keeping them extravagant" but that doesn't mean I don't think there is a perfect place for soaps like these and ones that are more whimsical. Maybe a good 70/30 split of wild ones to practical ones. Either way, this soap looks beautiful. The top reminded me of curly hair carved in old marble sculptures. Does that make sense?
~IDEA~ One thing that not many people tend to make is soap that looks beautiful and fancy, and is perfect for gifting, but without any fragrance. My mum gets migraines from fragrances and also has eczema, and something beautiful, fancy, fragrance free and gentle like the soap in this video would be utterly amazing. I hope this reaches you, and btw I love your videos, as well as your ramblings. You're a beautiful human being and will be a fantastic mother.
Im not a simple soap person but I love this soap and the idea of making one ot 2 soaps a month functionable. And Katie girl, NORMAL IS OVERRATED! Love being weird!
Have you ever thought about making a rainforest soap with cold process and melt and pour? The scents being maybe like a musty earthy scent and water and just MAYBE a bit of lavender? I don't know.. It's just a thought. Lol but congrats on the new baby! 😍
For the poll I actually want to see more botanical/natural ingredients BUT keeping your colorful and very detailed soap style. I think going wild in design with natural ingredients still looks awesome.
I absolutely love the fancy soaps but as someone with sensitive skin, I'm always on the look out for gentle ingredients! I'd love to see how you get creative with natural soaps! ❤
I would love to see an inside out soap. Frosting on the bottom, glitter and whatnot in the middle and drop swirl on top. Hope you caught up on sleep today.
You be you! I'd like seeing a combination of decorated, brilliantly creative soaps and practical, utilitarian soaps. Maybe do one a month? And girl, we love you being real! It's so refreshing when you share real life with us!
The rambling in your videos is refreshing. This is why I watch your videos. I have never made a soap. Not that it's something I will never do but I enjoy watching your videos. It makes me feel like I'm chilling with a mom friend. Someone who gets that being a mom is cool 😂. Your personality just shines through. I have binge watched your videos and enjoyed every one. Thank you so much for making videos! My kids even enjoy watching. Much love from me and my sons Austin (13) and Ayden (6).
I think you should make a few different bars for functionality each month, like you do with the diamond soaps and such, especially for those with allergies. Possibly a coconut free soap if you can, too, because I know a couple of people who watch your channel, but are allergic to coconut.
So I have sensitive skin and eczema and I have to say that your other soaps have been so good on my skin already! I mean, I also have small hands and I cut each bar I buy into 4ths because they are so large and I use these in the shower more then anything. I think some more sensitive skin soaps would be nice. At least for me, Im not sure about anyone else, the sents and colors that you use don't agitate my skin, which also might be because its vegan.
You'll have to update in the future to let us know how using this effects your eczema- I have dyshidrotic eczema and I'm afraid to use any of these soaps, no matter how beautiful they are!
I definitely like the goofy “personal” videos. It kinda shows us a bit more about you and an insight as to who you are vs just pretty soaps. It keeps it more personable and relatable in my opinion :)
The soaps you mentioned can be found anywhere. The thing that sets you apart is the fact that you do your own thing. You are an inspiration....don’t change.
I really like your fancy shmancy soaps but I feel like it’d be cool to see more natural soaps that are maybe more simple. I’m actually really interested in learning how to make soap and how it works and I really like your vids. So you keep doing you as long as you have fun and just know you have a fan. ❤️😘
You are not boring you are amazing. Honestly. You are a wonderful mother, wife, sister, and business woman all while pregnant! You are unstoppable girl! I can’t say enough how much I love your videos. Every time I watch I always think how fun it would be to know you in person and hangout with you in real life
May we get a fifty fifty on the soaps? The simple soaps would be a great spot to highlight teachable moments for the new kids. Plus I personally love the idea of a low top but with fragrance what might not always be used because of discoloration.
yes to functioning bars! would love a great soap for cleaning makeup brushes and sponges, even a simple soap that then has frosting on the inside ( hard to describe but maybe i'll design one and send it t you to explain more)
Hey Katie!! I just started watching you and I TRULY ENJOY all the bars you create!! My 3yo, 6yo and 11yo love watching you too!! Please keep making all kinds of soap (plain, low, high) because we really enjoy watching you (and as a momma of 5 and bonus momma of 4, I can tell you that you are already doing an awesome job so keep it up!!) and the process!! 💖💖💖
I have been watching you for few months now and I can honestly say you do have the gift of gab😆. I love it!!! You exemplify what it means to be comfortable in your own skin. Your quirkiness and joy is infectious.. I started watching you to learn more about soap making but have learned so much more.. A Big Thank You 🙏
Since there is no "i"... Would love a mix of soaps. More "natural" low tops, but... you gotta keep some of the fun hightops too. Those are what made you "famous" afterall😊❤
I usually don't comment on videos, but I will add something. I voted to have some functional soaps. But I do enjoy your creative designs. They got me here and they will keep me here. So don't just do one or the other. I have been enjoying the mixture you have been doing lately. I am busy so I can't watch the videos as they come out and sometimes I just want to keep a few so I can binge watch them when I am in the mood for something creative. I will continue to enjoy whatever you make. But to be honest, I am more likely to buy something without glitter because it is something that manages to stick to me even if I haven't touched glitter for months I still find some on me. Lol.
You be you! That's part of why I ordered in support of your business. Share what you're comfortable with sharing but don't apologize for who you are! Life is real and you have an excellent outlook that is inspiring to others. Hopefully you'll get through this last leg and your little guy will be here safe and sound soon. People get enough fairy tales from hollywood and the sort- keep it real :)
The reason I watch your videos is because of your unique personality. Your videos are always fun to watch. Your fanciful soaps are always amazing, but I also enjoy your simple soaps. Maybe do a simple soap once a month.
I rather enjoyed watching this video very much and can say you are def not boring. I feel your pain (heartburn, sleepless..) been through that all myself. It’s all worth it Bc once you hold your lil one all this will instantly be forgotten. 😊 Hang in there.
I agree with former typist. You are never booring. And for my personal opinion I like when you do "normal" stuff aswell. How much I love your're crazy creations, I also like when you make less crazy soaps and other products. I still learn a lot from you're "rambling". Just do what comes in you're mind. It will all be amazzzzzing!
I absolutely love how Katie is all natural and doesn’t wear makeup! She is so beautiful!! Also love her voice and the way she speaks! Very clear and super smoothing! 💖🤩🥰
I just want to say that today I made my first ever batch of soap! I had zero interest in this, but always liked crafts. One day youtube started auto-playing one of your videos while I was watching something else crafty but unrelated, and I was hooked. A few months later and today I made cold-process soap in a home-made mold and I'm so excited to see how it turns out! Thank you so much for making these videos so that I could discover an exciting new hobby!!!!!! I can't wait to learn more and make more!
Yes! Yes! More natural soaps, please. Looking forward to the release of this one. Headed to Guatemala to work with the Cleft Babies and families and they will Love samples of this yummy soap.
You do you, Katie! I prefer videos where I see the creator's personality over the overly edited type. You have a beautiful heart and I love seeing that in your videos! :D
Every time I watch a video I can’t help but wonder how you clean your buckets/spatulas after soap making. Do you use more soap? or just the residual soap? are they considered “dirty”? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS
I know, I wonder this too! Do you take them outside and blast them with the water hose? Do you run water in them and let the soap dissolve and use it when you bathe Lily? Have you considered using the bucket remnants to make liquid or foaming soap?
Loved getting to see the soap studio!!! I'll obviously watch anything you make, I come to the videos for you, Katie- the soaps are just a good bonus. Personally when it comes to soaps I buy, I like more all natural soaps with good skin benefits. However, I love seeing your extravagant soaps getting made, and seeing your creative process. You're the best Katie! You and your videos have gotten me through some long sleepless newborn nights. It made it feel like I had a friend with me through it all. Now go get some sleep!!
What a great studio, I need your dad!!! I believe that the not sleeping when you are close to having the baby is getting ready to be up for all the feedings they will need. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think they are great because they are SO usable.
Can you make a soap with no almond or coconut oils? I'm allergic to them (as are many people!) so I haven't been able to buy any of your beautiful soaps :(
Mac Gon some people definitely are. I have one customer whose allergic to both the almond and coconut oils, and another who can’t do almond oil, avocado butter or mango seed butter 🤷🏽♀️
You can't make a soap with medical claims (helps with arthritis, etc) because it would then be classified as a drug and needs to go thru FDA testing. Plus, soap is a wash off product so you really wouldnt get the benefits. Youd be better off getting a salve or something
while sellers of their products can’t make medical claims to treat/cure/prevent different ailments per FDA regulations when selling/marketing their product unless they also get it approved for being classified as a ‘drug’, you most definitely can get just as good benefits from using soap as you can lotion especially when using essential oils! It takes only 22seconds after being applied to the body for the molecules to reach the brain, 2 mins before they are found in the bloodstream and 20 mins before they affect every cell in your body! Which essential oil you choose to use depends on what it could possibly help for. Don’t think that just because you wash it off it’s not as effective and don’t think that just because there is an FDA regulation on something means that it’s not possible to still benefit from even if you can’t claim it as being beneficial! Mother Nature has been creating natural cures longer than the FDA has been around regulating what is mass produced from a garden or a lab! While certain things can’t be claimed, that doesn’t stop people from doing their own research and requesting such products made with said oils.
@@Lacroix999 I've suffered from migraines for many many years. Been hospitalized twice. My daughter would rub peppermint essential oil on my temples and it really helps
Katie people genuinely love your personality and who you are. You're beautiful soul and everyone can see it. I personally love the raw /real life blogging I want to get a closer look at the studio and see the bars of soap curing on each shelf. And see all the crafting supplies and how they kept. No because I want to be a soaper just because I find it so interesting. It's relaxing looking at soap. I used to collect body shop items and I had a huge collection and I love nothing more than to just look at it. That's all long gone now as it's been replaced with kids toys lol 😂. So it's a little piece of that back. I enjoy hearing your thoughts and how the pregnancy is going. Keep being true to yourself and let us in on as much as you are comfortable with . I appreciate you x
I’m conflicted, because I love the idea of soaps like this but the extravagant ones really are more fun to watch in my opinion. I love them both! I can’t choose! Do more of both. 😂❤️

Functional is good💗But, can you give us the quantities of the additives? I'm from Brazil, and here the cold process is just beginning. We don't have much references or guides. I can't find a good fragrance, they all make a mess in my soap!! I can't find micas to buy here!! So I prefer the simple ones! I'm a fan of you and your soaps. And I really want to learn how to make it. I'm a teacher here in Brazil and I have a chanel on the RUclips 😊 But it's not about soap. I just want to learn and maybe buy supplies in the USA💗Thank you so much 😘
You are certainly not boring! I always look forward to watching your videos because I find you so funny and relatable. You are also so talented! Don't ever feel that what you say isn't important or that no one wants to hear it. All of your success speaks otherwise and so do I. I know we can all have self doubt, and I can only imagine being a mama already with one on the way with all the fun hormone ups and downs. However, I just felt the need to reach out and say you are an amazing person. Very few people can say at your age that they've started a business that has become so successful and even employed family members along the way. You are exceptional and hold your head high :)
I don't know if this is possible at all, but my friend has severe skin allergies and she's allergic to red dye, coconut, cinnamon, and (this is the tough one) all plant based oils! She hasn't been able to find a soap anywhere that doesn't give her a rash, so she's mainly cleaning with honey, and dealing with the rash every time she needs a deep clean. Do you know of any recipes without these allergens? I can't find any in my various googles, but you know more about soap than I do :)
I really like seeing both types of soap! I would think keep like 60-70% extravagant and 30-40% more simple bars so everyone could get something they love :)
i think throwing in one or two "natural" soaps like this one each month would be great. i love watching the extravagant ones but videos like this are always amazing too
What about a pretty, functional soap? A charcoal one sounds awesome! Lush has a shampoo bar that smells like a campfire, if you could make that I'd buy an entire slab.
@@BlueBaeChai Yes, but there are so many chemicals out there (that are supposed to be safe) that we can't keep away from children, and I just feel like I would want to be extra vigilant. Here in the EU most products for babies and small children must be unscented as a precaution. ❤️
Most of the time the reactions people, babies included, have to fragrance oils are from poorly or improperly diluted essential oils (note: essential oils can be made synthetically and it's the easiest way to get production costs down). Nature's garden, as a brand, tries to avoid that by providing the highest percentage of oil content should be in a product before it either ruins it or becomes a senstive skin risk. Scented products aren't really a high risk issue for children and babies unless they have a preexisting skin condition or the product is intensively overused on your kiddos.
Honestly I like your videos because I always see other soapmakers and soaps in stores have really natural, muted colors and little to no decoration and while those are fine, I like colors! I like glitter and things! Your soaps are really pretty and fun
I don't have a preference... just keep making videos and keep talking about nothing while making soap... love your videos... wish I could afford your soap
Hi Emily, I have 4 of Katie's samples, still in the packaging, that I'm happy to send you for free. My email is bloominclothing. I even have an extra new bamboo soap holder that holds the bars great! 💙
@@freshbloominclothing you are so kind and I so much appreciate the gesture but you don't have to do that though that would be awesome you should keep yours you paid for it
@@Emily-sv4bp I bought them for care packages and have an extra. I only use Katie's mermaid soap and I'm finding the full bars last me about 3 months. 😃 But it is completely up to you. 💙
@@Emily-sv4bp You can send it to my email if that works for you. I ship daily as I sell on Ebay and create RUclips videos. I know sending a random stranger your address might be odd but I'm trustworthy. 💙 My email is bloominclothing@gmail.com I'm also on Instagram if you'd rather DM me there. It is under @FreshBloominClothing
Look, i love the idea of natural skin-feel-good soaps, BUT why not make them extravagant? Nothing too crazy, but like earthy high top soaps with skin care stuff? P.S. i would understand if you couldn't though.
i just have to say i LOVE your little commercial break, your rant was fantastic and im not even pregnant and i think of those kind of random things too all the time
My thought in the beginning: Ohh, maybe I could use that one. My thoughts after a bit: Ahh, carrots. Not a soap for me then. My thoughts after another bit: Ohh, and there goes the coconut. Definitely not a soap for me. Well, well. I watch for the content not to buy the soap. (It is food allergies, but I still don't want to use it for my skin)
awww man that really sucks! idk why it never occurred to me that the coconut, carrots and almonds would be a problem for some people. From what I've seen she reads her comments, so maybe she'll make great one in the future for hopeful customers with allergies!
I would love to see the most basic non scented natural and easy-to-use make soap. Love a good lather, a nice gentle clean and washes clear off with only the slightest condition. A gentle swish of color would be nice. I'll keep watching and love what you do. You're amazing 👏
I voted for the skin-loving soaps, but I do like both, and I think the skin-loving types can still be beautiful. You've already made a variety of blends with dried seeds, herbs, and flowers sprinkled on. Whatever you do, keep doing you!
Never apologize for being you!! Your ramblings and spunky personality are the reason why I love your videos! You’re a queen and you should never feel that you need to apologize for the way you are. ❤️❤️ much love!
Speaking for myself, you are NEVER boring, and I actually care.
Nah, you are speaking for the rest of us as well😍❤
I love listening to Katie share her life with us. No matter what the situation is. 😀🤗
I 100% agree. :) I enjoy watching her videos, am plugged in to her Instagram too.
I agree what a great personality
amen
I think people ask you for functional because they wanna see your creative touch on those functional ingredients!
Yes!
Also, I have kiddos with sensitive skin but that love watching Katie! My son wants to make soap 😍
Yes totally agree
I love hearing your rambles! You will never be boring. I hope you have as great a time making videos as we have watching them.
I totally agree! 👍👍

Amanda Olsen ohhh id buy this
Sounds fun!!
She actually did make an activated charcoal and tea tree soap just a a different kind of design then you said
@@zarahhammer4202 Yeah, when I saw that video I really hoped she was using my comment as an inspiration but she didn't. That soap was still cool though!
I voted for "keeping them extravagant" but that doesn't mean I don't think there is a perfect place for soaps like these and ones that are more whimsical. Maybe a good 70/30 split of wild ones to practical ones. Either way, this soap looks beautiful. The top reminded me of curly hair carved in old marble sculptures. Does that make sense?
If she does 50/50 she could even double both her audience and clientele
I agree. Both types are needed. 70/30 is a good split too. 😊
~IDEA~ One thing that not many people tend to make is soap that looks beautiful and fancy, and is perfect for gifting, but without any fragrance. My mum gets migraines from fragrances and also has eczema, and something beautiful, fancy, fragrance free and gentle like the soap in this video would be utterly amazing. I hope this reaches you, and btw I love your videos, as well as your ramblings. You're a beautiful human being and will be a fantastic mother.
Im not a simple soap person but I love this soap and the idea of making one ot 2 soaps a month functionable. And Katie girl, NORMAL IS OVERRATED! Love being weird!
As long as you don’t lose your joy in your craft, I’ll support whatever kind of soap you want to make! That being said, I’m a sucker for high tops 😝
Have you ever thought about making a rainforest soap with cold process and melt and pour? The scents being maybe like a musty earthy scent and water and just MAYBE a bit of lavender? I don't know.. It's just a thought. Lol but congrats on the new baby! 😍
patchouli would be a great scent for the earthy scent, and would smell great combined with lavender
Why does this sound absolutely fantastic
I wonder if you can mix melt and pour with cold process in the mould and do like a hanger swirl with them. Then you’d have a swirl of clear and opaque
You should send in the design because if she makes it she will send you a bar!
Submit it!
For the poll I actually want to see more botanical/natural ingredients BUT keeping your colorful and very detailed soap style. I think going wild in design with natural ingredients still looks awesome.
I love your soaps so much please do a Disney princess theme
Alyssa Patchen Yessssss please
Alyssa Patchen yes yes✨, beauty and the beast
@@leidydiperez5223 this please. Belle was my favourite as a kid
Like Cinderella, with a shoe and a broom embed
Rainyciin mine as well 💛I think Katie already done one soap of that movie 😒
I absolutely love the fancy soaps but as someone with sensitive skin, I'm always on the look out for gentle ingredients! I'd love to see how you get creative with natural soaps! ❤
Is there still a studio tour on the way? I’m so interested in how you have the new one set up!
She's working on giving us one. She's just making sure everything is the way she wants it and that it's finished.
As a whole, LOTS of soap makers make the simple soap. Keep it unique to you! I’ve never seen the soaps you’re creating.
I would love to see an inside out soap. Frosting on the bottom, glitter and whatnot in the middle and drop swirl on top. Hope you caught up on sleep today.
That sounds so fun!
That’s such a cool idea! I hope Katie sees it!
Pineapple Upside Down Cake soap, made upside down just like the cake is made!

Why can't you combine the two? Functionality and visual extravagance, the perfect marriage. Love ur vids!
Because most "extravagant" details (pigments, frosting, etc) aren't super skin friendly.
So I have sensitive skin and eczema and I have to say that your other soaps have been so good on my skin already! I mean, I also have small hands and I cut each bar I buy into 4ths because they are so large and I use these in the shower more then anything. I think some more sensitive skin soaps would be nice. At least for me, Im not sure about anyone else, the sents and colors that you use don't agitate my skin, which also might be because its vegan.
I’m buying this! I have eczema and dry sensitive skin ! This is perfect. Maybe you can make cute soaps just with natural dyes!

Make a Shea butter “lotion” bar! I would love to use that to moisturize my skin!
You can easily make that yourself. Equal parts of coconut oil, beeswax & shea butter. They are amazing.
Since there is no "i"...
Would love a mix of soaps.
More "natural" low tops, but...
you gotta keep some of the fun hightops too. Those are what made you "famous" afterall😊❤

Loved getting to see the soap studio!!! I'll obviously watch anything you make, I come to the videos for you, Katie- the soaps are just a good bonus.
Personally when it comes to soaps I buy, I like more all natural soaps with good skin benefits. However, I love seeing your extravagant soaps getting made, and seeing your creative process.
You're the best Katie! You and your videos have gotten me through some long sleepless newborn nights. It made it feel like I had a friend with me through it all.
Now go get some sleep!!
Yes! Functional! I have super sensitive skin and would appreciate more skin-loving ingredients 🙂
I'd love to see a soap that makes you think of a coffee shop. I'm not a fan of drinking coffee, but I absolutely LOVE the smell of it.
Yessss looking forward to April!!! Any possiblity of a Brownie Pecan high top soap???
I like the soaps that are functional; that being said, I enjoy your beautiful creations :)
My aunt just had a baby and I’m definitely going to try to make this for her!
What a great studio, I need your dad!!! I believe that the not sleeping when you are close to having the baby is getting ready to be up for all the feedings they will need. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think they are great because they are SO usable.
Can you make a soap with no almond or coconut oils? I'm allergic to them (as are many people!) so I haven't been able to buy any of your beautiful soaps :(
She's done some in the past.
Are you sure you are allergic to both almond oil and coconut oil? Because coconut is not a real nut, it's just called a nut.
Im allergic to coconut as well. Coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut water all cause a reaction in me.
Mac Gon some people definitely are. I have one customer whose allergic to both the almond and coconut oils, and another who can’t do almond oil, avocado butter or mango seed butter 🤷🏽♀️
@@macgon6551 my mother is deathly allergic to coconut, like throat swelling, hives, and red aggravated bumps that hurt her.
You are never boring!!! A mix is nice! It would be nice to have the natural soaps, but don't stop making the fancy ones!!!
Beetroot juice would make an interesting colour or freezedried powdered blueberries.
I am just imagining this soap. And I think I am in a dream. It is so pretty.
unfortunately beets turn brown from the lye (trust me on experience, I was so hopeful for a rich pink/red colour!) bummer!
@@sarahssoapsca damn. Tha ks for letting me know before i attempted this. :)
@@sarahssoapsca Oh, I've just bought some beetroot powder... :/ I reckon I'll have to reconsider my project. :/ Thanks for sharing!
I think you should always ramble. I love your personality! That mixed with your soap making make the best videos. ❤️
Looks fit just for a baby or anyone with
sensitive skin
Love the midnight rambles! I would love a studio tour. I would also like a video of the picking and shipping process. And lots of soaps - always!
A soap for muscle pain and arthritis would be fantastic! Essential oil based I think. I do love your high tops though...
You can't make a soap with medical claims (helps with arthritis, etc) because it would then be classified as a drug and needs to go thru FDA testing. Plus, soap is a wash off product so you really wouldnt get the benefits. Youd be better off getting a salve or something
while sellers of their products can’t make medical claims to treat/cure/prevent different ailments per FDA regulations when selling/marketing their product unless they also get it approved for being classified as a ‘drug’, you most definitely can get just as good benefits from using soap as you can lotion especially when using essential oils! It takes only 22seconds after being applied to the body for the molecules to reach the brain, 2 mins before they are found in the bloodstream and 20 mins before they affect every cell in your body! Which essential oil you choose to use depends on what it could possibly help for. Don’t think that just because you wash it off it’s not as effective and don’t think that just because there is an FDA regulation on something means that it’s not possible to still benefit from even if you can’t claim it as being beneficial! Mother Nature has been creating natural cures longer than the FDA has been around regulating what is mass produced from a garden or a lab! While certain things can’t be claimed, that doesn’t stop people from doing their own research and requesting such products made with said oils.
@@Lacroix999 do you have any medical sources for that? I'm generally carefull around oils but would like to read up on it
Maybe work in something that has an Epsom salt top.
@@Lacroix999 I've suffered from migraines for many many years. Been hospitalized twice. My daughter would rub peppermint essential oil on my temples and it really helps
Katie people genuinely love your personality and who you are. You're beautiful soul and everyone can see it. I personally love the raw /real life blogging I want to get a closer look at the studio and see the bars of soap curing on each shelf. And see all the crafting supplies and how they kept. No because I want to be a soaper just because I find it so interesting. It's relaxing looking at soap. I used to collect body shop items and I had a huge collection and I love nothing more than to just look at it. That's all long gone now as it's been replaced with kids toys lol 😂. So it's a little piece of that back. I enjoy hearing your thoughts and how the pregnancy is going. Keep being true to yourself and let us in on as much as you are comfortable with . I appreciate you x
Havent even watched yet but i know i want it!
I - love - your rambles, you're not boring! I wish there was a BOTH option!!! I want it all :) you're so wonderful Katie!!!
*YOU MEAN* Bastille Bay-🐝 *wink wink* *SOAP?*
Ive found an ARMYYYY
I’m conflicted, because I love the idea of soaps like this but the extravagant ones really are more fun to watch in my opinion. I love them both! I can’t choose! Do more of both. 😂❤️
Functional is good💗But, can you give us the quantities of the additives? I'm from Brazil, and here the cold process is just beginning. We don't have much references or guides. I can't find a good fragrance, they all make a mess in my soap!! I can't find micas to buy here!! So I prefer the simple ones! I'm a fan of you and your soaps. And I really want to learn how to make it. I'm a teacher here in Brazil and I have a chanel on the RUclips 😊 But it's not about soap. I just want to learn and maybe buy supplies in the USA💗Thank you so much 😘
I love this video ESPECIALLY the up late “chat”. I remember being up with my babies. I giggled quite a bit watching this.
*who else can smell this video?* 😍
- Also a youtuber btw
I could have sworn that when she was pouring that I caoyld smell it.
So not joking.
Are you kidding I love your rambles!! I also totally love natural soaps and the more elaborate ones too!! You do you boo
Who else wants another packaging video?
You are certainly not boring! I always look forward to watching your videos because I find you so funny and relatable. You are also so talented! Don't ever feel that what you say isn't important or that no one wants to hear it. All of your success speaks otherwise and so do I. I know we can all have self doubt, and I can only imagine being a mama already with one on the way with all the fun hormone ups and downs. However, I just felt the need to reach out and say you are an amazing person. Very few people can say at your age that they've started a business that has become so successful and even employed family members along the way. You are exceptional and hold your head high :)
I don't know if this is possible at all, but my friend has severe skin allergies and she's allergic to red dye, coconut, cinnamon, and (this is the tough one) all plant based oils! She hasn't been able to find a soap anywhere that doesn't give her a rash, so she's mainly cleaning with honey, and dealing with the rash every time she needs a deep clean. Do you know of any recipes without these allergens? I can't find any in my various googles, but you know more about soap than I do :)
There are special soaps in pharmacy emollients etc this is for people with allergies
try looking for 100% lard soaps! I know a lot of soap makers swear by that
I second what @TheDragonGirl says. Look for a lard or tallow based soap. Both of these are types of animal fat, and should be safe for your friend.
I really like seeing both types of soap! I would think keep like 60-70% extravagant and 30-40% more simple bars so everyone could get something they love :)
Never clicked so fast❤️
Likewise! Lol
i think throwing in one or two "natural" soaps like this one each month would be great. i love watching the extravagant ones but videos like this are always amazing too
What about a pretty, functional soap? A charcoal one sounds awesome!
Lush has a shampoo bar that smells like a campfire, if you could make that I'd buy an entire slab.
And yes your rambles are awesome! It’s actually entertaining, you are a real person and that’s humbling. Never boring!
I'm kinda worried about having fragrance oil in a baby soap? Wouldn't it be safer to just keep it unscented?
Sara Lundström
I’m assuming she did her research on the fragrance oil. It must be safe
@@BlueBaeChai Yes, but there are so many chemicals out there (that are supposed to be safe) that we can't keep away from children, and I just feel like I would want to be extra vigilant. Here in the EU most products for babies and small children must be unscented as a precaution. ❤️
I was under the impression it was just a mix of oils but I guess I was wrong
@@Hannah-zw9ow There was fragrance oil too. 😉
Most of the time the reactions people, babies included, have to fragrance oils are from poorly or improperly diluted essential oils (note: essential oils can be made synthetically and it's the easiest way to get production costs down). Nature's garden, as a brand, tries to avoid that by providing the highest percentage of oil content should be in a product before it either ruins it or becomes a senstive skin risk.
Scented products aren't really a high risk issue for children and babies unless they have a preexisting skin condition or the product is intensively overused on your kiddos.
Honestly I like your videos because I always see other soapmakers and soaps in stores have really natural, muted colors and little to no decoration and while those are fine, I like colors! I like glitter and things! Your soaps are really pretty and fun
Activated charcoal please!!!!!
You are not boring. You are not weird. You are a wonderful human being. You are a blessing to all of us. Sending you love and sleep-vibes from Plano.
I don't have a preference... just keep making videos and keep talking about nothing while making soap... love your videos... wish I could afford your soap
Hi Emily, I have 4 of Katie's samples, still in the packaging, that I'm happy to send you for free. My email is bloominclothing. I even have an extra new bamboo soap holder that holds the bars great! 💙
@@freshbloominclothing you are so kind and I so much appreciate the gesture but you don't have to do that though that would be awesome you should keep yours you paid for it
@@Emily-sv4bp I bought them for care packages and have an extra. I only use Katie's mermaid soap and I'm finding the full bars last me about 3 months. 😃 But it is completely up to you. 💙
@@freshbloominclothing alright well how can I send you my address
@@Emily-sv4bp You can send it to my email if that works for you. I ship daily as I sell on Ebay and create RUclips videos. I know sending a random stranger your address might be odd but I'm trustworthy. 💙 My email is bloominclothing@gmail.com
I'm also on Instagram if you'd rather DM me there. It is under @FreshBloominClothing
You are never boring! I love seeing the real Katie!
Look, i love the idea of natural skin-feel-good soaps, BUT why not make them extravagant? Nothing too crazy, but like earthy high top soaps with skin care stuff?
P.S. i would understand if you couldn't though.
i just have to say i LOVE your little commercial break, your rant was fantastic and im not even pregnant and i think of those kind of random things too all the time
My thought in the beginning: Ohh, maybe I could use that one.
My thoughts after a bit: Ahh, carrots. Not a soap for me then.
My thoughts after another bit: Ohh, and there goes the coconut. Definitely not a soap for me.
Well, well. I watch for the content not to buy the soap.
(It is food allergies, but I still don't want to use it for my skin)
Mia S who cares
awww man that really sucks! idk why it never occurred to me that the coconut, carrots and almonds would be a problem for some people. From what I've seen she reads her comments, so maybe she'll make great one in the future for hopeful customers with allergies!
If it makes you feel any better, I'm allergic to almonds and my boyfriend is allergic to coconut and we haven't had any problems with the soaps. 💙
I hear ya. Even with the food allergy of nuts and coconut, I can't use any of it on my skin.
I would love to see the most basic non scented natural and easy-to-use make soap. Love a good lather, a nice gentle clean and washes clear off with only the slightest condition. A gentle swish of color would be nice. I'll keep watching and love what you do. You're amazing 👏
Never ever boring Kaity watching you ramble late just makes me think omg I dooooo taaahhht
Ramble away! I love hearing you talk about whatever is on your mind as you make your soaps!
This soap sounds really gentle.
I voted for the skin-loving soaps, but I do like both, and I think the skin-loving types can still be beautiful. You've already made a variety of blends with dried seeds, herbs, and flowers sprinkled on. Whatever you do, keep doing you!
Never apologize for being you!! Your ramblings and spunky personality are the reason why I love your videos! You’re a queen and you should never feel that you need to apologize for the way you are. ❤️❤️ much love!
More functional soaps would love...plus you’re never boring love the rambling❤️❤️❤️❤️
