I would love to see a "Behind The Soap / Meet The Team video" where we get to see snippets of the things the team does and things you usually don't show. I've been watching nearly since you started out, it's just incredible hearing how much Royalty Soaps has grown and it would be nice to see more of the growth through a behind the scenes view.
Yes! It's like when you're with a friend and they just start talking about something, and you get invested, even if it's something that doesn't interest you much normally.
Even as a “failure” it’s very pretty! It’s been so cold in North Texas, do you ever use a heater in the studio to combat the temperature? QOTD: Roses! Hydrangeas are my favorite but I love delicate flowers the most. However, sunflowers are just so friendly, they’re a welcome sight in the summer 🥰
I’ll certainly miss the themed collections as the reveal was one of my favourite things each month, but as long as you still have soap to sell I’ll still be buying it, no matter what! Sunflowers win hands down for me. My nursery is rubber duckies and sunflowers
Also yes I loved "When You Give a Mouse a Cookie" I can't believe that ages me now 😭 Despite having a June birthday, I love sunflowers more but my favorite flower is a peony. 💐
I love how you rolled with the fail and even still made the top so pretty. That is certainly the way to do it since you can't always control the outcome but you can control your reaction to it. Lovely! And roses all the way! I have about five of them as tattoos so far!
My favorite soap design of the entire year was the tea and novels, and I am SO SHATTERED I missed the release and was not able to purchase one 😭 I would ADORE another release of these!! As a Bibliophile and a tea enthusiast, anything centered around the comfort of books, book nooks, cozy reading, and all things tea time just call to my soul! 💙💙
I'm so glad you're doing positive things for yourself, Katie. So glad that i still get to see you every week. And Hooray on fan designs 😀 I've done the sentence game, but with drawing. We'd prefold the paper and add on to each peice. Then when we unfold it out looks so goofy 😂🥰 QOTD- sunflowers bc i can eat them.
Hey Katie I'm glad you're making changes for what's best for you. You're online community loves you and has appreciated all the love and creativity you've sent our way. I will miss all the new soap continuously coming out but it is just a no brainer that we'd support you in loving yourself and taking steps to being a healthier you. I'm sorry this past year was so hard. Thanks again for helping us through our own hard days and personal problems. You always bring so much positivity, good vibes, creativity, humor, and love into my life, which I'm sure I will continue to receive in upcoming videos. You're an amazing human being and I'm grateful you put yourself out there for so many other people to get to know you and be affected by who you are. Much love. Do something fun for yourself. 😉😂
It must be so exciting for you to finally have soaps not sell out on the first day! It shows how much you've grown and can really put out enough for everyone who wants one!
Just wanted to take the opportunity now that I'm early lol, thank you and everyone at Royalty Soaps for always making my day. I've really been going through it in the past few months (a lot of heavy diagnoses and treatments), and your videos have really helped me find peace in difficult moments and just make me feel so happy and warm. Not only watching your soaps, but your good heart and the warmth and grace you spread to the world. Thank you for all that you do, Katie, you're the best. 🤗💕
I think the soap still looks really pretty! I looove the colors. QOTD: I have a soft spot for sunflowers. I don't know how it came to be but I've always acosiated them with one of my first pet rats Luna (I know, kinda weird because her name means moon). She was such a wonderful little creature and though I only got to spend a little over a year with her she was and still is so special to me
Loving the different camera angles and graphics and more detailed process. I make my own soap, I’ve watched so many of your videos, but your information never gets old. Thank you so much for giving such special unique content. I look forward to your videos all week.
QotD: Sunflowers! They make me so happy and I love the way a field of sunflowers just transports you. Katie, thank you for just being you. Your "chattiness" is comforting and it's nice to have a soapy internet friend. :)
So excited I skipped to the end... those colours are great, easy to imagine how amazing the actual swirl would look. :) QOTD: Roses, absolutely. I used to grow my own little bed of them at my grandparents' place when I was a teen.
I'm so excited about the permanent soaps! I loved the succulent planter one when you made it and I was so sad I missed the opportunity to order it! I love roses. They aren't necessarily my favorite flower, but the woman who owned my parents' house before they did planted 100 rosebushes, so I grew up admiring their delicate, layered flowers.
i love the editing on the names of the colors! so beautiful and simple yet effective! so easy to read also, roses are my fave flowers! definitely those. david austen roses are gorgeous!
I'm so glad you published a "fail". It just shows that even professionals have ups and downs. It shows us amateur crafters to be easy and gentle with ourselves. If Katie isn't always perfect I can't expect myself to be.
I had a batch go thick like that and I just took a spoon to it and rolled it a couple times in the loaf and it actually turned out great. Was surprised tbh. Hanger swirl would likely work too.
I made an amazing fire and brimstone soap from a batch that went thick on me in like .02 seconds. I thought it was gonna be a complete failure but it ended up being one of my favs!
I eternally love when there isn’t a commercial after the quick commercial break comments cause it’s so funny, I watch the ads all the way through when they do come up
12:28 the pink, lavender, beige, cream like appearance with the toppings on top looking like pearls gets me beautiful pastel vibes, so soothing and cute. ✨💜🌸
QOTD: it really depends on the situation. Typically scent wise I would prefer sunflowers because so many rose scents just smell like old lady. I adore blue roses and the super bright pink roses.
My husband and I started doing a fancy family dinner party (flowers, candles, fancy dresses and ties) for Valentine’s Day. He and I may or may not go out another day but we found the kids just LOVED making it about family.
you're always so positive, it's so nice to take a break from everything that weighs down on me in life and watch a fun chatty video also...girl, I will be getting some of that Aurora Dream, cuz that design is beautiful
Once again, I'd like to thank you (and the team working hard behind the scenes on soapy things!) for making videos and sharing your wonderful personality with us all. What was supposed to be a relaxing day turned very stressful, but when I got home I was able to watch this new soap while I cooked and ate dinner. It was the best part of my day. *Sorry for using so many "I"s, right now my brain isn't at full power.
Definitely roses. And I love the changes, going to miss the extra video but it's understandable. The only thing I think you need in the monthly restock collection is a sensitive skin soap, maybe a milk/calendula...I know that I can't wait to get my bar of Honey soap in this week🤗
Easy peasy answer…..Sunflowers!!🌻🌻 My love for them developed from my childhood, when my Mom use to sing “you are my sunshine” to me all the time. The song reminds me of Sunflowers and has now turned into a sweet moment and saying I share with my Mom as an adult. AND as such sunflowers will be added into my fall wedding 🌻💍🥰
Katie! Welcome to the new year! Thanks for always being such a good example of a positive attitude! I honestly have shown some "fail" videos of yours to my kids to show them how well you handle things not going as planned. ❤ Edit: Also, with sleep being the most important part of making me a good mom, I sure hope you can ditch the 1 am working times!! Best wishes from one mom to another!
Purples green and gold on top? Looks like a floral Mardi Gras soap! Love it! Also, I only like the teeny tiny roses. I'm not a big fan of the big ones. I'd have to pick sunflowers, because they are the closest option to daisies or cosmos which are two of my favs.
QOTD of those two, I prefer roses. The first time as a kid my mom let me pick out a plant for our garden, I picked an iceberg rose, so I have a sentimental attachment now. I love all the color variations roses can have... and a rosebush can make a break-in deterrent when planted underneath a ground level window! 😁
I love the "meet" pop ups in the video. So cool to see other people in your family! I love roses for their smell more. Sunflowers are pretty to look at too but roses small better. I love your chatty videos. Your cadence helps me drift off to sleep!
I like sunflowers because my husband and I actually grew some that were 7' tall at our old house ❤️❤️ they got knocked over by a late summer storm though 😭😭 🌻🌻🌻
Just wanted to say, go you for putting boundaries in place and making changes that will help you have better balance! Amazing! We see so much of the 'hustler' narrative and not enough of the 'self care' narrative from business people. What an inspiration you are, Katie Carson.
You guys are always amazing! I can't wait to see what you cook up for the new year! And your shipping is the best! I ordered soap for Christmas and you got it to me in 3 days!!! In plenty of time to send out to everyone on my list. You're amazing, Katie! 😍❤️😘
roses, just all roses including red roses, i know i know how basic. but reds my ultimate favorite color and i just think red roses are the most romantic thing u can give to someone special!!
I love roses for the smell but also love sunflowers because they remind me of my older brother who passed away last January from Cancer at 54. Plus I can feed sunflower seeds to my chickens!
QOTD: Roses. The petals are just too pretty with that velvet texture. Sunflowers look itchy. 🤷🏼♀️ Excited for you and all the changes coming for 2022. You’ve been a huge inspiration and voice of motivation for me and I cannot thank you enough for that.
I love your soaps I hope to buy my first one this year!!! I like roses more than sunflowers. Specifically orange roses for some odd reason I don’t know why!
I'm going to miss watching 2 videos a week however, I am thrilled that you are moving to a sustainable schedule. No one wants you to burn out! I'm a sunflower person, ours grew 2 stories tall last summer!
Those imbeds are super cute! This batch looks a bit like Brach's jelly nougats candy, but I look forward to seeing the drop design as intended. Can't beat Katie's attitude and so proud of the business decisions Royalty Soaps is making to benefit themselves and their customers.
Anything inspired by Alice In Wonderland (which, combined with Through The Looking-Glass is my favorite book) is a good thing. Points for theory, even if the execution didn’t work out.
Sunflowers are my favorites. My favorite colour is yellow and I think that's why I like sunflowers so much. We had sunflowers on our autumn wedding as decorations and on my bouquet. 🌻
OMG OMG OMG I love that you're mentioning painting the roses red because after you did that Alice in wonderland series I sent you a design for a painting the roses red soap which ironically didn't have much red in it most of it was like brown for the base and then the frosting with green to be the rose bushes and it had these little 🌹 imbeds which were white and painted red as in the song so you know and the only other design I sent you was at the same time and it was a Neapolitan Sundae soap
Definitely ROSES!! Although fields of sunflowers are beautiful, just everything about roses is beautiful, the look, the smell, the rosehips, the petals, just everything. Never have I heard of" give a mouse a cookie" and I have 3 kids that are all adults now. This soap reminds me of neopolatin ice cream. All the bits all curled up with each other or mixed flavors like pistachio, lemon, orange. Mint, just a bunch of flavors swirled and yummy.
1. QotD: That's difficult for me, too, heheh. I love sunflowers conceptually but love rose scents and flavors. I plead the fifth!!! (^_^;; ) 2. I'm glad you've rearranged the upload schedule to serve you best; we love seeing you AND we always wish you well!!! 3. I LOOOOOVED the Walt Disney's Flower Field ohmygosh, it's hands down in my top 3 both in its design/colors and in the ones I got for myself!! I remember being like stupidly moved by the concept and had no idea why, but it was such a beautiful design!!! 4. THIS YEAR I DECIDED IS MY YEAR TO MAKE SOAP lol and to start my small business with my mom, so thank you for the Royalty Soaps Creative Academy series and for being such an inspiration!
Definitely love sunflowers! Roses are nice, I lean toward the pinks and yellows, but there is just something about a field of sunflowers that is just the best!
This soap represents my beginning of 2022 the first I was flooded, to no heat the next day due to flooding got into furnace, the snow storm which also caused my power to go off, then the breakers went bad so back to no power: I live in KY where the weather changes faster than a clock changes seconds. Hopeimg for a better 2022 and I still liked the soap.
I adore both, however I love roses, rose hips, apples, bushes, ramblers, climers, standard roses and of course all the scents. We get such a short time with wonderful sunflowers but roses we can have all year. My home has 2 stories of roses front and back.
Ooh, my 3 boys LOVED If You Give a Mouse a Cookie! and all of the others in the collection I had no idea it was a show! LOL i'll watch that myself. Katie, you must hear this SO MUCH, but I have to say, your attitude & outlook are SO RRFRESHING! & just good for the soul, thank you for that. You always make my day 😘
Totally respect and understand your decision to swap to 1 video a week. You're a business owner, a youtuber AND a mother of two as well! You're a rockstar and deserve some time to yourself!
Even if I wasn't what you were going for I think the soap still looks adorable!! Qotd: I love sunflowers! I really like magic roundabouts, but it's like the sunflower is always so bright even when I have a hard day I can look outside and see a bit of a sunny smile.
I love roses and David Austin is a genius. I have 3 of his bushes and my English Roses bloom all spring, summer and fall! I have a passion for Iris flowers as well and I have I think approximately 30 diffrent colors and my husband loves Daylilies and we oodles of them as well. We also have Oriental Lilies of several different colors. The goal next fall is to add Tulips and Daffodils. We love flowers and the upkeep of 8-9 flower beds is enormous! This doap reminds me of all the glorious blooms we have during the warm months. Unfortunately Lavender isn't my favorite fragrance, but I know why you picked it. It is a favorite of many people!!! Happy 2022, Katie and Crew!
I really like the layers is this one. I prefer the blobs and the shapes in this one compared to the flame looking shape that comes out of there’s. Love the colours and the top is to die for. Love your content. I also love your queen of hearts soap! Adorable.
So, I was one of the weird kids that never read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. I read If You Give a Moose a Muffin. That and Crow and Weasel were two of my favorite books growing up. Also a cute little book that my mom would read with me called But No Elephants! Anyway, it's lovely to hear the little tidbits about your family and how you spend your time outside of soap making. Thank you for sharing!
Katie, your 1am videos are HILARIOUS. So, if you get a midnight soap making urge, I am here for it! But definitely don't stay up late just for the sake of content. You've got babies and a business, and you need ALL the sleep.
LOL I'm watching this for the second time 2 years later while i make my candles! When Katie mentioned the show for give a mouse a cookie and asked about the book my hand shot up and i heard "I wanna FEEL the presence of those hands!!" so cute!
I'm ok with a chatty video, I just needed to be ready to listen cuz sometimes your energy is a lot. I'm so glad to hear that the lily pond soap is going to have a permanent place, I love the gardenia scent, it's just so appealing but I've only ever had it in a sample size but I fell in love. This soap is kinda pretty, I like sunflowers more, I'm something of a Van Gogh fan so sunflowers are close to my heart. Also my great grandmother and my grandmother on my mom's side both did sunflower paintings and I just think that is really cool. I'm happy to hear that you are dialing it back on weekly uploads. I've been wondering how you managed and it turns out that you just hide it and that's never healthy. You are so awesome at what you do and so is your family and friends, I just wanted to let ya'll know. ❤️ Sorry this was a long comment, just had a lot of say.
I did not read it as a kid, but to many many kids, yes. 'If you give a mouse a cookie' is always a huge hit! The soap was and is not a failure to me, the colors go beautifully together in the bar and it could have gone worse. I always tell myself that lol
Roses over sunflowers! But I do love daffodils. I used to not care for them but I live in a place now where they occur (seemingly) naturally. And EVERY spring, just after the cold has been lasting too long and the trees look a little too dead, those daffodils pop right up! Vibrant spots of color surprise speckled in my downtown, brick building, neighborhood! And at just the right time when we all need to see some new life 🥰
Roses are my preference between those and sunflowers. But my favorite has always been carnations! I love all the different color combos they can acheive.
the way you have shown the names and colour when adding the mica was well done, I love how clear to see the colour names were and really appreciated the coloured box in the spectrum of the colour that the mica will become and not nessasarily the colour of the mica/soap before it has finished curing
I'm very excited to have placed my 1st order of soaps I have watched you make!!! Can't wait to receive!!! I also ordered a soap kit from Amazon to try my hand at this! I may be 55, but you're never too old to learn something new!!
I love that you had those soaps in your shop. I bought several. I am partial to anything jasmine. It is the only flower I know my husband enjoys and doesn't sneeze. So excited to use them. Sharing them with my daughter.
I love when you chat a bunch! It’s like hanging out with a friend that I don’t actually have any of 😂. That sounds horribly sad saying out loud haha. Social anxiety though. But honestly. You’re so fun and comforting. You always brighten my day. Always so optimistic and encouraging. You make me want to be and do so much better
I would love to see a "Behind The Soap / Meet The Team video" where we get to see snippets of the things the team does and things you usually don't show. I've been watching nearly since you started out, it's just incredible hearing how much Royalty Soaps has grown and it would be nice to see more of the growth through a behind the scenes view.
Yes, please! 😍
I sometimes miss Kenny making soap he is hilarious!
I love the chatting. It's like listening to a friend talk about things they are passionate about!
Honestly the chatting is my favourite part!
same! i'm just doing my work or hobbies and i just love to listen to her talk so passionated about everything!
Yes! It's like when you're with a friend and they just start talking about something, and you get invested, even if it's something that doesn't interest you much normally.
I totally agree 💯💯😊
Even as a “failure” it’s very pretty! It’s been so cold in North Texas, do you ever use a heater in the studio to combat the temperature?
QOTD: Roses! Hydrangeas are my favorite but I love delicate flowers the most. However, sunflowers are just so friendly, they’re a welcome sight in the summer 🥰
I'm jealous! I'm in southern Texas and it's been in the 70's and 80's 🤣🤣 just moved here from the east coast and am missing the cold!
@@chayafaith710 What part? I'm in the Corpus area and its been in the 50s lately, with dips to freezing and highs towards 60s
@FallingSpark225 San Antonio! I'm from the east coast though so winters are much harsher than then what I've experienced here haha.
Katie's positive outlook is just so darn endearing!
The fact you used the word “darn” is pretty pure as well lol. 🥰
I’ll certainly miss the themed collections as the reveal was one of my favourite things each month, but as long as you still have soap to sell I’ll still be buying it, no matter what!
Sunflowers win hands down for me. My nursery is rubber duckies and sunflowers
Also yes I loved "When You Give a Mouse a Cookie" I can't believe that ages me now 😭
Despite having a June birthday, I love sunflowers more but my favorite flower is a peony. 💐
I love peonys too !! I also like calendulas
I love how you rolled with the fail and even still made the top so pretty. That is certainly the way to do it since you can't always control the outcome but you can control your reaction to it. Lovely! And roses all the way! I have about five of them as tattoos so far!
I love the "Chatty videos" and I look forward to seeing what comes up in the shop in 2022.
Also, I like roses more than sunflowers.
My favorite soap design of the entire year was the tea and novels, and I am SO SHATTERED I missed the release and was not able to purchase one 😭 I would ADORE another release of these!! As a Bibliophile and a tea enthusiast, anything centered around the comfort of books, book nooks, cozy reading, and all things tea time just call to my soul! 💙💙
I'm glad that you're taking care of yourself and family. We don't want you to burn out and leave us, Katie! ❤
I'm so glad you're doing positive things for yourself, Katie. So glad that i still get to see you every week. And Hooray on fan designs 😀
I've done the sentence game, but with drawing. We'd prefold the paper and add on to each peice. Then when we unfold it out looks so goofy 😂🥰
QOTD- sunflowers bc i can eat them.
Hey Katie I'm glad you're making changes for what's best for you. You're online community loves you and has appreciated all the love and creativity you've sent our way. I will miss all the new soap continuously coming out but it is just a no brainer that we'd support you in loving yourself and taking steps to being a healthier you. I'm sorry this past year was so hard. Thanks again for helping us through our own hard days and personal problems. You always bring so much positivity, good vibes, creativity, humor, and love into my life, which I'm sure I will continue to receive in upcoming videos. You're an amazing human being and I'm grateful you put yourself out there for so many other people to get to know you and be affected by who you are. Much love. Do something fun for yourself. 😉😂
It must be so exciting for you to finally have soaps not sell out on the first day! It shows how much you've grown and can really put out enough for everyone who wants one!
Just wanted to take the opportunity now that I'm early lol, thank you and everyone at Royalty Soaps for always making my day. I've really been going through it in the past few months (a lot of heavy diagnoses and treatments), and your videos have really helped me find peace in difficult moments and just make me feel so happy and warm. Not only watching your soaps, but your good heart and the warmth and grace you spread to the world. Thank you for all that you do, Katie, you're the best. 🤗💕
Love the video and your smiling face. I also like the smiling faces of Sunflowers. Thank you for all you do.
I hope your treatments are going as planned and you're feeling back to yourself again soon. Sending you lots of healing vibes!
@@HighTideSoaps That's so sweet of you to say and means so much to me, thank you so much!!!!💕
I think the soap still looks really pretty! I looove the colors.
QOTD: I have a soft spot for sunflowers. I don't know how it came to be but I've always acosiated them with one of my first pet rats Luna (I know, kinda weird because her name means moon). She was such a wonderful little creature and though I only got to spend a little over a year with her she was and still is so special to me
The Walt's flower field soap was one of my favorites of all the bars I've bought from you I would totally buy another!! I loved the look and smell 😍
Loving the different camera angles and graphics and more detailed process. I make my own soap, I’ve watched so many of your videos, but your information never gets old. Thank you so much for giving such special unique content. I look forward to your videos all week.
What! The walt's flower field was gorgeous! And yes this soap is beautiful!!!!!!!
Happy 2022! Hope your family had a wonderful holiday season!
QotD: Sunflowers! They make me so happy and I love the way a field of sunflowers just transports you.

sunflowers for me, my husband even surprises me with wild sunflowers sometimes that he picks out of the ditches on his way home. I love them
12:28 the pink, lavender, beige, cream like appearance with the toppings on top looking like pearls gets me beautiful pastel vibes, so soothing and cute. ✨💜🌸
QOTD: it really depends on the situation. Typically scent wise I would prefer sunflowers because so many rose scents just smell like old lady. I adore blue roses and the super bright pink roses.
I like the vibrance of a sunflower, the scent and classiness of a rose
I love when you do mica lines so more of those this year would be amazing!!
My husband and I started doing a fancy family dinner party (flowers, candles, fancy dresses and ties) for Valentine’s Day. He and I may or may not go out another day but we found the kids just LOVED making it about family.
you're always so positive, it's so nice to take a break from everything that weighs down on me in life and watch a fun chatty video

And yes! “When You Give A Mouse A Cookie” is a classic! I liked it and of course all 3 of my children!
Once again, I'd like to thank you (and the team working hard behind the scenes on soapy things!) for making videos and sharing your wonderful personality with us all.
What was supposed to be a relaxing day turned very stressful, but when I got home I was able to watch this new soap while I cooked and ate dinner. It was the best part of my day.
*Sorry for using so many "I"s, right now my brain isn't at full power.
We learn through two things: failure and Royalty Soap's upbeat attitude ❤️
Definitely roses. And I love the changes, going to miss the extra video but it's understandable. The only thing I think you need in the monthly restock collection is a sensitive skin soap, maybe a milk/calendula...I know that I can't wait to get my bar of Honey soap in this week🤗

The song reminds me of Sunflowers and has now turned into a sweet moment and saying I share with my Mom as an adult. AND as such sunflowers will be added into my fall wedding 🌻💍🥰
Hmmm ... although I like both, neither flower is my favourite.
I am, however, a huge fan of Black Tulips. Pictures don't do them justice.
They're gorgeous, we had some at our home flowerbed when I was a child and they were my favourite flower!
Thank you!!
Good choice! I planted those around my trees, while the critters ate a bunch I still have a few which come up in spring
I love roses! As pretty as sunflowers are, roses are just so elegant and classy! They make everything a little more glamorous 🥰🌹
Katie! Welcome to the new year! Thanks for always being such a good example of a positive attitude! I honestly have shown some "fail" videos of yours to my kids to show them how well you handle things not going as planned. ❤
Edit: Also, with sleep being the most important part of making me a good mom, I sure hope you can ditch the 1 am working times!! Best wishes from one mom to another!
Sunflowers were my wedding flower! I'm obsessed with them!
They are my favorite to both receive and give!
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Super excited about all your new changes, especially about seeing a fan design created each month!!!
Nothing you do is a failure. Just your voice makes me smile. You’re the only soap maker I watch🤩
Purples green and gold on top? Looks like a floral Mardi Gras soap! Love it!

Hey Katie, when you were doing the mica drizzle it reminded me of tie dye! Colors and techniques you use are beautiful.

I also loved the Walt's Flower Field soap! One of the first soaps I bought

I have a soft spot for sunflowers! They are so bright and cheery. They make me smile
I like it! Your design didn’t look like a swirl, so this matches the “gems” of color inserted into the base color. Nicely done!
I'm going to miss watching 2 videos a week however, I am thrilled that you are moving to a sustainable schedule. No one wants you to burn out! I'm a sunflower person, ours grew 2 stories tall last summer!
I loved the flower fields soap! It was beautiful.
I love the simplicity of the middle. This is one of my favourite bars.
I loove the top of this soap. The roses your sister made are so pretty! I'm in love ❤️
Those imbeds are super cute! This batch looks a bit like Brach's jelly nougats candy, but I look forward to seeing the drop design as intended. Can't beat Katie's attitude and so proud of the business decisions Royalty Soaps is making to benefit themselves and their customers.
Anything inspired by Alice In Wonderland (which, combined with Through The Looking-Glass is my favorite book) is a good thing. Points for theory, even if the execution didn’t work out.
I totally agree, Alice is timeless!
YEEEEEEEEEES I love Alice in Wonderland!
It's also a military operation. Operation looking glass. 🙂 Very interesting topic.
Sunflowers are my favorites. My favorite colour is yellow and I think that's why I like sunflowers so much. We had sunflowers on our autumn wedding as decorations and on my bouquet. 🌻
OMG OMG OMG I love that you're mentioning painting the roses red because after you did that Alice in wonderland series I sent you a design for a painting the roses red soap which ironically didn't have much red in it most of it was like brown for the base and then the frosting with green to be the rose bushes and it had these little 🌹 imbeds which were white and painted red as in the song so you know and the only other design I sent you was at the same time and it was a Neapolitan Sundae soap
Definitely ROSES!! Although fields of sunflowers are beautiful, just everything about roses is beautiful, the look, the smell, the rosehips, the petals, just everything. Never have I heard of" give a mouse a cookie" and I have 3 kids that are all adults now. This soap reminds me of neopolatin ice cream. All the bits all curled up with each other or mixed flavors like pistachio, lemon, orange. Mint, just a bunch of flavors swirled and yummy.
1. QotD: That's difficult for me, too, heheh. I love sunflowers conceptually but love rose scents and flavors. I plead the fifth!!! (^_^;; )
2. I'm glad you've rearranged the upload schedule to serve you best; we love seeing you AND we always wish you well!!!
3. I LOOOOOVED the Walt Disney's Flower Field ohmygosh, it's hands down in my top 3 both in its design/colors and in the ones I got for myself!! I remember being like stupidly moved by the concept and had no idea why, but it was such a beautiful design!!!
4. THIS YEAR I DECIDED IS MY YEAR TO MAKE SOAP lol and to start my small business with my mom, so thank you for the Royalty Soaps Creative Academy series and for being such an inspiration!
Please can you do a minecraft theme soap maybe a creeper
💕💕
Definitely love sunflowers! Roses are nice, I lean toward the pinks and yellows, but there is just something about a field of sunflowers that is just the best!
The top of this soap and the colors scream Tangled to me. Red sunflowers are my jam, had them and Gerber daisies for my wedding flowers.
This soap represents my beginning of 2022 the first I was flooded, to no heat the next day due to flooding got into furnace, the snow storm which also caused my power to go off, then the breakers went bad so back to no power: I live in KY where the weather changes faster than a clock changes seconds. Hopeimg for a better 2022 and I still liked the soap.
Your bubbly personality is so contagious! Just what the doc ordered ❤
I adore both, however I love roses, rose hips, apples, bushes, ramblers, climers, standard roses and of course all the scents. We get such a short time with wonderful sunflowers but roses we can have all year. My home has 2 stories of roses front and back.
Roses are beautiful but I love sunflowers the most they are so bright and just make me happy to look at 🌻
Ooh, my 3 boys LOVED If You Give a Mouse a Cookie! and all of the others in the collection
I had no idea it was a show!
LOL i'll watch that myself.
Katie, you must hear this SO MUCH, but I have to say, your attitude & outlook are SO RRFRESHING! & just good for the soul, thank you for that. You always make my day 😘
I love dark roses, black and purple. I really love the rose with the white bottom and red tips.
Totally respect and understand your decision to swap to 1 video a week. You're a business owner, a youtuber AND a mother of two as well! You're a rockstar and deserve some time to yourself!
Roses! I like the way your soap turned out, even though it’s not what you planned. You always make me smile.
Sunflowers are my favourite! Since it's summer in Australia they are growing in my garden now, it's an instant happiness boost whenever I see it.
Even if I wasn't what you were going for I think the soap still looks adorable!! Qotd: I love sunflowers! I really like magic roundabouts, but it's like the sunflower is always so bright even when I have a hard day I can look outside and see a bit of a sunny smile.
Sunflowers for sure! The autumn beauty variety is my favorite!
i honestly think this soap is super pretty! i like simple patterns as well as the more complicated ones.
I love roses and David Austin is a genius. I have 3 of his bushes and my English Roses bloom all spring, summer and fall! I have a passion for Iris flowers as well and I have I think approximately 30 diffrent colors and my husband loves Daylilies and we oodles of them as well. We also have Oriental Lilies of several different colors. The goal next fall is to add Tulips and Daffodils. We love flowers and the upkeep of 8-9 flower beds is enormous!
This doap reminds me of all the glorious blooms we have during the warm months. Unfortunately Lavender isn't my favorite fragrance, but I know why you picked it. It is a favorite of many people!!!
Happy 2022, Katie and Crew!
I really like the layers is this one. I prefer the blobs and the shapes in this one compared to the flame looking shape that comes out of there’s. Love the colours and the top is to die for. Love your content. I also love your queen of hearts soap! Adorable.
So, I was one of the weird kids that never read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. I read If You Give a Moose a Muffin. That and Crow and Weasel were two of my favorite books growing up. Also a cute little book that my mom would read with me called But No Elephants!
Anyway, it's lovely to hear the little tidbits about your family and how you spend your time outside of soap making. Thank you for sharing!
Katie, your 1am videos are HILARIOUS. So, if you get a midnight soap making urge, I am here for it! But definitely don't stay up late just for the sake of content. You've got babies and a business, and you need ALL the sleep.
I love both roses and sunflowers, I even love them together! But I'd have to go with sunflowers, the color yellow just makes me feel happy.
LOL I'm watching this for the second time 2 years later while i make my candles! When Katie mentioned the show for give a mouse a cookie and asked about the book my hand shot up and i heard "I wanna FEEL the presence of those hands!!" so cute!
I'm ok with a chatty video, I just needed to be ready to listen cuz sometimes your energy is a lot.
I'm so glad to hear that the lily pond soap is going to have a permanent place, I love the gardenia scent, it's just so appealing but I've only ever had it in a sample size but I fell in love.
This soap is kinda pretty, I like sunflowers more, I'm something of a Van Gogh fan so sunflowers are close to my heart.
Also my great grandmother and my grandmother on my mom's side both did sunflower paintings and I just think that is really cool.
I'm happy to hear that you are dialing it back on weekly uploads. I've been wondering how you managed and it turns out that you just hide it and that's never healthy.
You are so awesome at what you do and so is your family and friends, I just wanted to let ya'll know. ❤️
Sorry this was a long comment, just had a lot of say.
I love roses, especially scented one and one's that are unusual coloured. But I love growing sunflowers and eating the seeds!
I did not read it as a kid, but to many many kids, yes. 'If you give a mouse a cookie' is always a huge hit!
The soap was and is not a failure to me, the colors go beautifully together in the bar and it could have gone worse. I always tell myself that lol
That soap frosting with the teal and purple drizzle looks like that jazz cup design!
Omg the light purple color makes me dream of a beautiful purple tones soap. Like pastel purple base with muted dark purple accents ugh so pretty
Also yes please please make Walt’s flower field again I never got it and am dying to get it
Roses over sunflowers!
But I do love daffodils. I used to not care for them but I live in a place now where they occur (seemingly) naturally. And EVERY spring, just after the cold has been lasting too long and the trees look a little too dead, those daffodils pop right up! Vibrant spots of color surprise speckled in my downtown, brick building, neighborhood! And at just the right time when we all need to see some new life 🥰
Roses are my preference between those and sunflowers. But my favorite has always been carnations! I love all the different color combos they can acheive.
the way you have shown the names and colour when adding the mica was well done, I love how clear to see the colour names were and really appreciated the coloured box in the spectrum of the colour that the mica will become and not nessasarily the colour of the mica/soap before it has finished curing
I'm very excited to have placed my 1st order of soaps I have watched you make!!! Can't wait to receive!!! I also ordered a soap kit from Amazon to try my hand at this! I may be 55, but you're never too old to learn something new!!
I love that you had those soaps in your shop. I bought several. I am partial to anything jasmine. It is the only flower I know my husband enjoys and doesn't sneeze. So excited to use them. Sharing them with my daughter.
I love when you chat a bunch! It’s like hanging out with a friend that I don’t actually have any of 😂. That sounds horribly sad saying out loud haha. Social anxiety though. But honestly. You’re so fun and comforting. You always brighten my day. Always so optimistic and encouraging. You make me want to be and do so much better
