It seems strange to say, but I feel like Katie is a friend that I get to spend a little bit of time with each week. I don't mind hearing about business or family.
I love hearing all things Katie, tell us about your life, family , business ideas/tips. I miss when you talked more thru out videos! Especially when it was silly/random or something you are passionate about!
Hi Katie. I'm not sure how or why your videos were first recommended to me, but I am very happy I found you. I love your purity, energy, and goodwill. I have been watching your videos for over a year now and have started making my own soap and body products. I'm now getting into candles and pottery (all for fun). I hope one day I can make something nice enough to send to you. Blessings upon you and your family. Please know that your presence on RUclips is much appreciated.
I know how I found it ;) Saf. But I stayed for Katie's sweet helpfulness. Though this soap I'd have been off once I heard "coffee" (migraine trigger) if not for the small biz tips. As a crafter who had to move away from my established customer base, it's been hard to get going here. ESP. since my art/craft is hard to ship and is sold for less than the cost of materials on sites like Etsy.... and I'm always ready to learn from others who have made their crafting full time financially viable.
I would live to hear business tips please! I love watching the soap making but business tips please!!! I am afraid to launch my business online because I need to make labels and make sure they are going to be good enough and insurance, tax and all of the good stuff that we need to do to start up. Thank you! 🧡
Pumpkin pies, Pumpkin rolls, Pumpkin seeds and pumpkin coffee. Every year my family and I look forward to Pumpkin season. So glad for your business tips. I started making soap in 2019. I have my business license and I post pictures on IG but I'm too afraid to try and sell. I just give them away as gifts. I will one day 😀. Until then I'll keep creating and watching brave and smart creators like you. Have a great weekend!
here in Italy we have very different eating habits, plus we're kinda picky with our coffee (aka we generally think starbucks style coffees are crap 😅), so pumpkins are not the first choice for treats or desserts (we mainly use them in soups, risotti and roast side dishes), but I personally love a good pumpkin cheesecake 🤤🤤🤤
Please more business tips lol!! About beveling: I’m always blown away when people use a potato peeler so smoothly to bevel! I can handle lye, work in a time crunch against accelerating soap batter, create intricate swirls and designs. But make a straight edge with a potato peeler I CANNOT do 😂😂
Me too. I have tried and tried and they are always wobbly and go from shallow to deep and back again. I decided that I don't really mind a "rough" edge on my soap, because the people who buy from me are just excited to get something handmade.
What I love about Katie is that she sees all soap makers as apart of her community and not competition! I also really love that she shares her knowledge in a loving way! Personally I don’t craft or anything but I love the community and love to support small businesses! ❤️
Love the small business advice girl! Also love your attitude towards community vs competition. I used to have a very small handmade jewlery biz a couple years ago and the people in my local area selling handmade items were so cut throat and cliquey about the whole thing.. it made me lose interest in pursuing any further because I much more aligned with your mentality! I've been thinking about starting a soap biz since quitting the jewlery, and your advice and bubbly personality really encourages me to go after the dream! Thanks so much Katie 🎃🎀
I hear ya! the worst part about jewelry is that pictures often don't do it justice and selling online is tough when Etsy has something "like" it for less than the cost of materials...
As someone planning to start my own soap shop I would love to hear more tips. I'm currently in the practice stage, I want to get to a point where things are of a relatively consistent quality before I'm confidant selling anything. I actually find it interesting that you made this one because the last soap I made was my first time doing a soap with coffee ground and then you drop a video of one with coffee grounds.
Same here im just starting out and ive only done melt and pour stuff and ive been using her videos to teach myself how to go about cold process, id love to hear all her tips business wise and soap making wise
I have been painting my nails pumpkiny while watching you! I am not a small business but I love that you are willing to share your experience and knowledge with others! Thank you for being you. And I hope you got to celebrate both Lilys and your birthdays. You deserve a celebration.
Goodness I love these 'Katie just talking to us' soap videos, I'm not at all interested in making soap to sell but I'll happily sit here listening to Katie's tips forever! Those little pumpkin embeds are just so cute, I love them.
I'm one of those people just here for the entertainment. I'm not much of a bar soap fan but I love watching you do what you love. You are an absolute joy to watch and and everything you do is just beautiful.
As a young small business owner (I’m 20) I love hearing tips! I started during covid and I’m still going strong while keeping up with university studies and my actual job. I make musical theatre themed scrunchies! So I have quite a small target audience.
TD and black will both clump badly if it's not a liquid when it goes in, and powders can "poof" when trying to mix them in if the sides aren't high enough. but mixing it into yourself to an oil can make a mess and be wasteful esp if you're afraid of putting the oil ratios off. Think Kraft mac and cheese powder vs. Velveeta liquid.
I love how humble and grateful you are! Always giving advice and wanting to see others thrive in their small businesses. And then being so grateful for the people who even just watch you videos and aren't able to buy your products. Your a joy to watch and I get so excited when you're videos pop up to watch!
I have been binge watching your videos for weeks, whoamikidding, months! I will always be a fan, Katie. You gave me the courage to make the leap from FIVE years of melt and pour soap making, and selling, to cold process. And now I am so absolutely in love with it. ❤
Whatever you want to talk about, we’re going to listen!! We ❤️ U Katie!! You are very refreshing, in this world we live in, thank you for that!! I grew up very similar to you and I wouldn’t change it for the world!!
That’s why I love u and ur channel, Katie. Ur so wholesome and I just feel so good watching your videos and supporting your business. You’re truly such a good person and it just makes me feel so happy and comforted when I watch. I usually binge a few of your videos (even rewatching them) at night before bed Bc it really helps me to not have nightmares and just feel so safe and warm and I absolutely love you and ur channel/business. Thank you for what you do for us (viewers) and other small business. You are a blessing
My favorite thing pumpkin? The smell, absolutely. I don’t know what it is but I love the way pumpkin foods smell way more than the taste. 🎃 Also those apple cider powder packets are incredible and adding a spoonful of caramel just gets me into an autumnal mood every time.
Your advice is INVALUABLE! I love that you’re willing to share your experiences and knowledge with all of us. It’s something that can be applied not only for soap makers but anyone with a small business, handcrafted business, small food company, etc. especially considering you started your company basically as a kid. It’s absolutely amazing what you’ve been able to do! So proud of you Katie
I’m a big pumpkin chocolate chip muffin fan. And I love a pumpkin cheesecake. As for apples, there’s this little ice cream shop in the town I went to college in (shout out to Ultimate Ice Cream in Asheville, NC!) that used to do a seasonal flavor that was sweet cream apple butter swirl and it was to die for! It was an Italian sweet cream ice cream base with a swirl of locally made apple butter running through it and it was fantastic! A runner up for apple stuff are spiced apple cider slushees. They’re hard to find, but they’re amazing! Literally just spiced fresh pressed apple cider run through a slushee machine.
Ooh! I participated in that Instagram poll. Also I am a totally unironic pumpkin spice fan. :) Just based on the way you described this soap, cannot wait to see what it looks like!
I just love your videos to relax, been having headaches + back and hip pain (I'm only 22 🤣🤣), I think I pushed to hard on my walks this week, and I just gave up today, not cleaning the house, not painting, not on the computer, just binge watching your videos and playing with my cats 🤣🤣
I have no idea why you were recommended to me: but your energy is so contagious and you seem like a lovely lady. I was having a bad few hours recently, then I saw this video was recommended. So, I clicked to watch because I was curious. Surprised by how this video cheered me up and calmed me down quickly
I just got done watching/listening to this video while preparing my apartment for Sanhaim-- I've gotten to the age that there's too much going on with music for me to focus on house work in the background; I can actually follow along with the video, occasionally stop and see pretty soap and also get inspiration for soaps of my own! I hope you're doing well this Holiday season 🫶🏻
ohhhh, yes please!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ maybe something for Christmas like the top is a Christmas tree piled up with green soap frosting and she can decorate it with little colored ball embeds that represent the oranaments and top it with a yellow star embed!! And holo glitter as the tinkling lights, I would friggin gawk at it if she made that!!!!! Don't even know what the soap on the inside would be, I'm just picturing the top right now. 😆
So excited! I know you were asking for content ideas so I wanted to share that part of why I clicked on this vid is I looove hearing other people's small biz tips, since I'm also a small business owner!
Oooh, one of my favorite things about fall is that after carving and scraping out pumpkins, my mom toasts the seeds (which I live off of for the next week) then makes pumpkin halva. It’s pretty simple to make (just cook the pumpkin and add brown sugar, maybe some honey, cardamom, maybe cinnamon, and maybe some other spices) but it’s SO GOOD. Warm and toasty and almost floral in its sweetness. Highly recommend
As someone who is trying to start a business doing this I love hearing from someone young that has had so much success! But I also love hearing about you and the things you like to!
Gorgeous soap! I honestly don't care what you talk about while making soap because you make everything interesting to hear! Pumpkin bread is pretty awesome. OMG THAT LITTLE DANCING PUMPKIN DURING THE SKILLSHARE AD WAS SO CUTE AMAGA.
I know my absolutely MUST WATCH RIGHT NOW videos are if you have Lily or anymore testing out craft or candle kits, that type of stuff. Love it !!!! Also, maybe more on making the embeds or how you drew up the design for each soap you're about to show us? more like behind-the-scenes maybe? Washing all those awful dishes you always talk about, esp. the BIIIIIIGGGGG CONTAINNNYYYY 😄👍
My favorite pumpkin thing is pumpkin fluff. Take a small pack of vanilla pudding and 1/2 the milk the package calls for. Wish together and add a small can of pumpkin, about 2 cups if using fresh puree. Fold in a small container of cool whip. Serve with grahm crackers or ginger snaps for dipping.
i love watching your videos because you're such a ray of sunshine. you make my day much happier every time i get to listen to you talk about literally anything. i'm going through a rough period mentally and the energy you put out is so uplifting and bright. i love your channel
Omg yes! More business tips! Honestly I'd love a video dedicated to tips on starting a company and how you did it! Things to watch out for, things to be prepared for, things to not worry too much about and so on! I've been making soap for about a year now and have been seriously considering starting a company, I just have no idea how to go about it! (P.s. you're the one who inspired me to make soap in the first place and I feel like I've really found my thing in life, so I'm eternally grateful to you (and your team) for helping me figure that out ❤❤❤❤)
I am always interested in hearing your business tips. But I also like hearing about the fun things you're doing and what's going on in your life. So just ramble on about whatever feels right. It's all good!
small business person here (and i bought this soap!) I love the tips! I had to learn the hard way about making things you don't like. Pumpkin treat is a dark chocolate brownie pumpkin pie cheesecake swirl dessert that I make!
Good morning from Montana, Katie! This was our favorite to watch (my almost 4 year old son loves to watch your videos with me) lol it counts towards his screen time but he says he “likes ya cause your silly” and it’s fun when he sees Lilly help because he likes to help me-I’ve had a small soap business for a few years but I haven’t dove deep yet. This soap my son said “ can we have all of those ones? Lol! He loves pumpkins ! Thanks so much for being you!
I've started to watch you for therapeutic matters. And after a year of watching and listening i am making my own cold process soap. I love you Talking about your business. I am so proud of you beeing so succesful ❤️
Thank you Katie, I LOVE the business tips. I totally agree with everything you said. The only thing that you said that I agree with but don't currently do is where you said not to make things you don't like or use scents you don't like. I am not a fan of FO's myself, I like EO's, yet for the first two years of soap making, I used only EO's. My business didn't start to explode until I added FO's to my line. I wish I could do as well using EO's only, I LOVE all things botanical soaps, though I do enjoy making the fancy soaps that so many people seem to love. "Crunchy" is just more my personal thing. You are a HUGE inspiration to me. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. Even my children (and hubby sometimes too!) enjoy watching with me! It makes it extra special knowing you were home schooled and from a large family. We have eight children that we homeschool.
Pumpkin ravioli with burnt butter and nutmeg is what I live for every fall. So delicious! Swedish apple pies are a very close second. The soap came out gorgeous!
Honestly you could talk about literally anything you're interested in and I'd still watch it. I have no desire to start a business, much less a soap business, but I still love hearing what you have to say because you're super passionate and interesting to listen to. I actually don't like any sort of warm fruit because I think the texture is super gross, so no pie or warm pumpkins for me! I do like key lime pie though because it's cold and if you're in Florida it's usually warm enough in October to still eat it. When the weather starts getting cold I like soups and hot chocolate!
I LOVE hearing business tips!! I'd love to see a video about how to get into things like soap making when you're just starting out and on a shoestring budget!
Thank you for the business tips. I would love to hear more. I also enjoy listening to all the fun things you do in your life without having to get on Instagram or tick tock. RUclips tips would be cool. I try but I'm not very talented with youtube videos.
Bourbon caramel apple cheesecake and grandma’s pumpkin cake are my family favorites. So thankful for the business ideas. Earlier this year I started making beard care products after watching your channel and hearing my hubby complain about skin issues from the mask wearing. He loves them and we are starting to get products for sale made now.
Katie- you could make a video on how to cut the lawn and I’ll watch! You’re interesting,experienced in business, a good teacher and passionate for life.enjoy every video so TY.
I got one of these soaps and it is my favorite! I bought the pumpkin soap last year and used it up all too quickly. I'm a fan of artisanal soap 8n general, but Royalty Soap is the best. And Katie is the most uplifting person to watch on RUclips.
My favorite pumpkin treat is roasted pumpkin with a butter, brown sugar, and spice glaze. And of course the roasted pumpkin seeds, way better than sunflower seeds; which is already incredible.
You know that chocolate pudding dessert that has oreos in it and is super popular? While I was experimenting with dessert and wanted to make a Thanksgiving version! So I did exactly that the bottom is a layer of vanilla oreos then it has a layer of vanilla pudding then on top of that its a pudding/pumpkin mix that I came up with and then top it off with some cool wipe and crusted up vanilla oreos 🥰💕 It's seriously so good!!! 💕
I started watching your videos, when you did the candle making kits. So I started binge watching your videos. I make candles and melts not soaps but I love your videos xx
I'm an October baby so I love having pumpkin cheesecake to celebrate my birthday. I just really love everything pumpkin though. If you've never had it before, pumpkin curry is a really easy comforting fall favorite food of mine too.
I cook down sugar (or called pie) pumpkins and puree and freeze it for baking during the year because I hate buying canned food. My brother is particularly fond of my pumpkin chocolate chip bread and cookies. I also do whoopie pies with maple cream cheese frosting, and pumpkin, white chocolate, cranberry cookies. I've also made in the past the pumpkin scones from Starbucks. I don't do pie because of I don't handle the custard texture well. As for apples... Applesauce, apple pie, apple crumble, apple fritter cake, apple strudel. Fall is my favorite!
When my adopted mom was a live and i was a teen we used to make pumpkin bread and other pumpkin stuff also apple cider as well along with other apple things
OMG I just love the pumpkin season!! Pumpkin pie, ice cream, coffee... YUMMMM!!! This soap is gonna be a must have! I cant wait!! I love hearing all your stories and the business tips are always welcome! I'm a newish soapmaker ( started with your frosting club!! ) So all these tips are so helpful!! Thank you Katie, you really brighten up my day!! 💕💕
i really enjoy hearing small business tips, because i own a small business and am from the same town/area as you so it really helps when you talk about how craft fairs and such in your are werent a good idea because now i know not to go down that road :)
I love apple pie 💕 And since I’m from a country where eating pumpkin isn’t really a thing, I have no idea what it tastes like. I’m from Denmark, I’m 36 years old and this year was the first time ever I’ve tasted a Pumpkin Spice Latté. And that was thanks to Starbucks. Didn’t like it much, but it was a bit better when it cooled.
Do you have access to butternut squash?I grew up eating a heritage variety that we called a "neck pumpkin". I have made pumpkin pie with it, mashed squash and a pumpkin mouse.
100% yes I love your business, and I love your soaps. I honestly never feel like I'm being sold your soaps or manipulated into buying them (although they're like the only body soap I use now). And I'm starting my own creative business and LOVE to glean business tips and practices from my favorites.
Just here for the show because I love you! You’ve gotten me through so much! I always support in the ways I can by commenting, liking, and watching all your videos! Thank you for your positive vibes in this sometimes very negative world!
I'm a new subscriber that joined your channel not that long ago. I love that you're so down to earth. I can feel the authentic vibe you give off in your vids and would be glad to hear about all topics you mentioned; family, tips and ideas you have. Especially the business tips, i'm looking to start a soap business of my own and are eager to learn everything i can from a true gem like you. Thank you for the vids, they're not only entertaining but very helpful ❤🤗
Love this soap! If you took away all the embeds and the coffee beans, it reminds me of a layered pumpkin cheesecake with the cute swirls! Which is one of my favorite fall pumpkin desserts!
My favorite pumpkin treat is pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. As for apple my grandmother makes this delicious dessert we simply call “apple cookie”. It was my great great grandmother’s recipe first and it’s just… so good
Definitely appreciate the business tips as I’m not experienced in that area. Sometimes my imagination gets the better of me and I forget practical things so the tips are super helpful to balance big dreams with some realism!😁

It seems strange to say, but I feel like Katie is a friend that I get to spend a little bit of time with each week. I don't mind hearing about business or family.
I feel the exact same way!
Same! And this friend is always happy to have me back if I've been gone for a while
I love hearing all things Katie, tell us about your life, family , business ideas/tips. I miss when you talked more thru out videos! Especially when it was silly/random or something you are passionate about!
💕💕💕
Agreed
Totally agree. I'm pretty sure she could read the dictionary and I'd still enjoy it because of her personality :)
@@nathryl03 Yeah, I bet she would make up exemples for the word or make funny comments!
I completely agree!
That dark brown looked like forbidden brownie batter.... no licking spoons here! It's a lovely soap.
"But Katie, why don't you just add cinnamon to the soap?" said someone in a well-meaning sort of way
Cinnamon is highly caustic at the amounts needed for soap. Can really burn the skin in large quantities.
@@corkycobon1481 I knows it
Ah, but this would have been a great one for vanilla! sadly, the coffee is a migraine trigger for me.
@@corkycobon1481 that's the joke 🤣

How fun!! Thank you so much!
Please make a video on more business tips! That’d be awesome!!! even for businesses not soap related would be informative!
Yes! I'm finally here for a pumpkin soap! I've been waiting for this ever since I discovered Royalty Soaps this summer.
🥰🥰🥰
Goodness I love these 'Katie just talking to us' soap videos, I'm not at all interested in making soap to sell but I'll happily sit here listening to Katie's tips forever! Those little pumpkin embeds are just so cute, I love them.

I’m so glad you enjoy it!!
I can't get over of how pretty Katie looks with her hair down, and also the makeup and the overall vibe 😭❤️ love this collection and the colors
As a young small business owner (I’m 20) I love hearing tips! I started during covid and I’m still going strong while keeping up with university studies and my actual job. I make musical theatre themed scrunchies! So I have quite a small target audience.
I love hearing all the tidbits of your life and your professional expertise, we can all learn something from each other and help each other up.
Question about using the colors: Why do you sometimes have the pigment in a liquid and sometimes just a powder?
From my understanding it just makes it easier to mix sometimes!
Yup! Just helps the colorant disperse. It's particularly helpful for Titanium Dioxide and Black Oxide iirc
TD and black will both clump badly if it's not a liquid when it goes in, and powders can "poof" when trying to mix them in if the sides aren't high enough. but mixing it into yourself to an oil can make a mess and be wasteful esp if you're afraid of putting the oil ratios off.
Think Kraft mac and cheese powder vs. Velveeta liquid.

god that shirt katie is wearing is so cute- please I need it. 110% making a character inspired by this soap
I would love to see a bar with similar colors but with an orange mica line. I'll definitely pick this one up!
I would love to see you do another soap that is fully decorated on the top like the succulent soap you made.
ohhhh, yes please!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
maybe something for Christmas like the top is a Christmas tree piled up with green soap frosting and she can decorate it with little colored ball embeds that represent the oranaments and top it with a yellow star embed!! And holo glitter as the tinkling lights, I would friggin gawk at it if she made that!!!!! Don't even know what the soap on the inside would be, I'm just picturing the top right now. 😆

Warm and toasty and almost floral in its sweetness. Highly recommend
I love your attitude that other soap makers are apart of your community 💕
As someone who is trying to start a business doing this I love hearing from someone young that has had so much success! But I also love hearing about you and the things you like to!
Gorgeous soap!
I honestly don't care what you talk about while making soap because you make everything interesting to hear!
Pumpkin bread is pretty awesome.
OMG THAT LITTLE DANCING PUMPKIN DURING THE SKILLSHARE AD WAS SO CUTE AMAGA.
I really appreciate small business tips as a small business creative! 💕
I know my absolutely MUST WATCH RIGHT NOW videos are if you have Lily or anymore testing out craft or candle kits, that type of stuff. Love it !!!! Also, maybe more on making the embeds or how you drew up the design for each soap you're about to show us? more like behind-the-scenes maybe? Washing all those awful dishes you always talk about, esp. the BIIIIIIGGGGG CONTAINNNYYYY 😄👍
My favorite pumpkin thing is pumpkin fluff. Take a small pack of vanilla pudding and 1/2 the milk the package calls for. Wish together and add a small can of pumpkin, about 2 cups if using fresh puree. Fold in a small container of cool whip. Serve with grahm crackers or ginger snaps for dipping.
i love watching your videos because you're such a ray of sunshine. you make my day much happier every time i get to listen to you talk about literally anything. i'm going through a rough period mentally and the energy you put out is so uplifting and bright. i love your channel
It looks like that moment when you pour creamer in your coffee and you let it swirl down on its own instead of stirring it immediately. So pretty!
Omg yes! More business tips! Honestly I'd love a video dedicated to tips on starting a company and how you did it! Things to watch out for, things to be prepared for, things to not worry too much about and so on! I've been making soap for about a year now and have been seriously considering starting a company, I just have no idea how to go about it! (P.s. you're the one who inspired me to make soap in the first place and I feel like I've really found my thing in life, so I'm eternally grateful to you (and your team) for helping me figure that out ❤❤❤❤)
Being someone that is just starting in the soap and bath product world, I love all the advice that you give.
I’ve never been a HUGE fan of pumpkin sweets. I certainly love pumpkin smells tho. The fall scents are my all time favorites.
Katie! Yes to the small business tips! I’ve learned so much about soap making and small business tidbits from your channel. Thank you so much! 💛
Ir's always a real gigantic sunshine in the day to see and hear you, Katie
Thanks for everything you do!
I am always interested in hearing your business tips. But I also like hearing about the fun things you're doing and what's going on in your life. So just ramble on about whatever feels right. It's all good!
small business person here (and i bought this soap!) I love the tips! I had to learn the hard way about making things you don't like.
Pumpkin treat is a dark chocolate brownie pumpkin pie cheesecake swirl dessert that I make!
you’re such a queen. i love hearing about your life and your family.
Good morning from Montana, Katie! This was our favorite to watch (my almost 4 year old son loves to watch your videos with me) lol it counts towards his screen time but he says he “likes ya cause your silly” and it’s fun when he sees Lilly help because he likes to help me-I’ve had a small soap business for a few years but I haven’t dove deep yet. This soap my son said “ can we have all of those ones? Lol! He loves pumpkins ! Thanks so much for being you!
Pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting... something the whole family looks forward to all year long
Mmmm
I love you and live your humor. I love watching g you and habe learned from you alot . Blessings ga
💕💕
I've started to watch you for therapeutic matters. And after a year of watching and listening i am making my own cold process soap. I love you Talking about your business. I am so proud of you beeing so succesful ❤️
Thank you Katie, I LOVE the business tips. I totally agree with everything you said. The only thing that you said that I agree with but don't currently do is where you said not to make things you don't like or use scents you don't like. I am not a fan of FO's myself, I like EO's, yet for the first two years of soap making, I used only EO's. My business didn't start to explode until I added FO's to my line. I wish I could do as well using EO's only, I LOVE all things botanical soaps, though I do enjoy making the fancy soaps that so many people seem to love. "Crunchy" is just more my personal thing. You are a HUGE inspiration to me. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. Even my children (and hubby sometimes too!) enjoy watching with me! It makes it extra special knowing you were home schooled and from a large family. We have eight children that we homeschool.
Pumpkin ravioli with burnt butter and nutmeg is what I live for every fall. So delicious! Swedish apple pies are a very close second. The soap came out gorgeous!
I’ve been feeling so down lately
The sun was finally out today so i sunbathed and watched Katie and felt much better
The energy and asthetic (especially your intro) in this video is impeccable! ❤️
Honestly you could talk about literally anything you're interested in and I'd still watch it. I have no desire to start a business, much less a soap business, but I still love hearing what you have to say because you're super passionate and interesting to listen to.
I actually don't like any sort of warm fruit because I think the texture is super gross, so no pie or warm pumpkins for me! I do like key lime pie though because it's cold and if you're in Florida it's usually warm enough in October to still eat it. When the weather starts getting cold I like soups and hot chocolate!
Thank you so much!
I LOVE hearing business tips!! I'd love to see a video about how to get into things like soap making when you're just starting out and on a shoestring budget!
I'm not a professional soaper by any means but I really love your content and energy. Thanks for sharing all the knowledge you've gathered.
Thank you for the business tips. I would love to hear more. I also enjoy listening to all the fun things you do in your life without having to get on Instagram or tick tock. RUclips tips would be cool. I try but I'm not very talented with youtube videos.
I absolutely love pumpkin bread and homemade pumpkin spice lattes. Being able to do a fancy cafe drink at home sparks joy.
Bourbon caramel apple cheesecake and grandma’s pumpkin cake are my family favorites. So thankful for the business ideas. Earlier this year I started making beard care products after watching your channel and hearing my hubby complain about skin issues from the mask wearing. He loves them and we are starting to get products for sale made now.
Katie- you could make a video on how to cut the lawn and I’ll watch! You’re interesting,experienced in business, a good teacher and passionate for life.enjoy every video so TY.
I got one of these soaps and it is my favorite! I bought the pumpkin soap last year and used it up all too quickly.
I'm a fan of artisanal soap 8n general, but Royalty Soap is the best. And Katie is the most uplifting person to watch on RUclips.
Pumpkin Chiffon Pie 🥧🎃 It's light and fluffy, which is so refreshing after heavy fall foods!
Favourite treat, pumpkin wise, easily pumpkin pie with TONS of whipped cream, apple wise, apple crisp!!!
this soap is pretty. One small add to give it a little more pop - poppycock mica line between the anchoring brown and the swirly top.
My favorite pumpkin treat is roasted pumpkin with a butter, brown sugar, and spice glaze. And of course the roasted pumpkin seeds, way better than sunflower seeds; which is already incredible.
You know that chocolate pudding dessert that has oreos in it and is super popular? While I was experimenting with dessert and wanted to make a Thanksgiving version! So I did exactly that the bottom is a layer of vanilla oreos then it has a layer of vanilla pudding then on top of that its a pudding/pumpkin mix that I came up with and then top it off with some cool wipe and crusted up vanilla oreos 🥰💕 It's seriously so good!!! 💕
That sounds DELICIOUS
@@RoyaltySoaps Thanks (:
I started watching your videos, when you did the candle making kits. So I started binge watching your videos. I make candles and melts not soaps but I love your videos xx
Thank you so much for watching!
I'm an October baby so I love having pumpkin cheesecake to celebrate my birthday. I just really love everything pumpkin though. If you've never had it before, pumpkin curry is a really easy comforting fall favorite food of mine too.
I love making pumpkin pie! Seriously, there's nothing quite like making your own from pumpkins that you grew.
i think this is one of the prettiest soaps you've ever made. it's so simple but just stunning
I cook down sugar (or called pie) pumpkins and puree and freeze it for baking during the year because I hate buying canned food. My brother is particularly fond of my pumpkin chocolate chip bread and cookies. I also do whoopie pies with maple cream cheese frosting, and pumpkin, white chocolate, cranberry cookies. I've also made in the past the pumpkin scones from Starbucks. I don't do pie because of I don't handle the custard texture well. As for apples... Applesauce, apple pie, apple crumble, apple fritter cake, apple strudel. Fall is my favorite!
When my adopted mom was a live and i was a teen we used to make pumpkin bread and other pumpkin stuff also apple cider as well along with other apple things
OMG I just love the pumpkin season!! Pumpkin pie, ice cream, coffee... YUMMMM!!! This soap is gonna be a must have! I cant wait!! I love hearing all your stories and the business tips are always welcome! I'm a newish soapmaker ( started with your frosting club!! ) So all these tips are so helpful!! Thank you Katie, you really brighten up my day!! 💕💕
My favorite to make is Pumpkin and Apple breads. Love this soap!!
OOOOOH
i really enjoy hearing small business tips, because i own a small business and am from the same town/area as you so it really helps when you talk about how craft fairs and such in your are werent a good idea because now i know not to go down that road :)
The top has almost a floral look to it! Very pretty!
Thank you!!
I love apple pie 💕 And since I’m from a country where eating pumpkin isn’t really a thing, I have no idea what it tastes like.
I’m from Denmark, I’m 36 years old and this year was the first time ever I’ve tasted a Pumpkin Spice Latté. And that was thanks to Starbucks. Didn’t like it much, but it was a bit better when it cooled.
Are you able to try pumpkin pie?? Best with whipped cream!! 😄👍
Do you have access to butternut squash?I grew up eating a heritage variety that we called a "neck pumpkin". I have made pumpkin pie with it, mashed squash and a pumpkin mouse.
@@danielleking262 only if I try to make one myself. But maybe one day I will.
@@tessalynne6778 yes I do. I think they can be bought in some stores.
Kan anbefale Tines oppskrift på gresskarpai :) (det er på norsk men regner med at det går fint)
I love hearing tips for small business owners! Thank you for sharing today 😊
100% yes I love your business, and I love your soaps. I honestly never feel like I'm being sold your soaps or manipulated into buying them (although they're like the only body soap I use now). And I'm starting my own creative business and LOVE to glean business tips and practices from my favorites.
Just here for the show because I love you! You’ve gotten me through so much! I always support in the ways I can by commenting, liking, and watching all your videos! Thank you for your positive vibes in this sometimes very negative world!
I'm a new subscriber that joined your channel not that long ago. I love that you're so down to earth. I can feel the authentic vibe you give off in your vids and would be glad to hear about all topics you mentioned; family, tips and ideas you have. Especially the business tips, i'm looking to start a soap business of my own and are eager to learn everything i can from a true gem like you. Thank you for the vids, they're not only entertaining but very helpful ❤🤗
Love hearing you talk, but especially the business tips
Pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. I like listening too whatever you talk about. I missed your chattiness in the last few months.
I loved hearing your tips because I’m planning to have a soap business soon right now I’m still comparing prices and researching recipes
Small business tips are VERY welcome! My favourite pumpkin treat is pumpkin pie, I make it from my Grandma's recipe :)
Love this soap! If you took away all the embeds and the coffee beans, it reminds me of a layered pumpkin cheesecake with the cute swirls! Which is one of my favorite fall pumpkin desserts!
My favorite pumpkin treat is pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. As for apple my grandmother makes this delicious dessert we simply call “apple cookie”. It was my great great grandmother’s recipe first and it’s just… so good
I have no interest in running a small business, but I STILL enjoy hearing your business tips. I love your business sense and values.
I’m so glad!
Pumpkins spice sugar cookies. That is my favorite pumpkin flavored treat to make during the fall.
Definitely appreciate the business tips as I’m not experienced in that area. Sometimes my imagination gets the better of me and I forget practical things so the tips are super helpful to balance big dreams with some realism!😁
Pumpkin muffins with crasins, walnuts, and dark chocolate chips. Apple Sesame muffins are also delicious.
