Video

@blondescorpion8940 Awesome!! So glad that was helpful for you. I've made a few changes since this video was recorded but still happy to share :)

@Kimsigns2 My preference is to wait a couple days before unmolding, but 1 day is fine. It's usually quite soft after unmolding so I tend to wait a couple extra days for it to start drying out and not be so tacky before I do the cutting.

@@Getmupei much searching online... They're hard to find. I ended up finding one on Amazon

@@karenurbanski5004 should be in the description.

@@wildbackyardsoaps sorry didn't scroll down far enough. Hope you are back soon. You have some very unique ideas

@MrCervasio1 I'm specifically referring to Chai tea that has the typical spices found in Chai such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Green tea is totally different

It depends on what I'm printing. I use jpeg or other image formats to upload into the onlinelabels.com Maestro design program for their templates

Yes, I did think about that. I just cut off the end piece and didn't use it, so no worries ;)

No worries, I cut off the end piece and didn't use it. I did think of that but forgot to mention it.

It can get up just over 100F here but also down to -35F so quite the range!

Haha awesome!

@@wildbackyardsoaps Detroit then Kalamazoo

Hope it helps!

If I could find that flavor, yes! I prefer essential oils, but the sky is the limit with flavors :)

Yes, some people really like the strong tingle and smell. For some reason I always feel "cleaner" when using peppermint soap compared with other essential oils

It's definitely one of my strongest smelling soaps!

Thank you!

Hehe thanks! Fun to throw a little extra creativity in when I can.

Haha I love that tree embed mold!

Haha I didn't either until a couple yrs ago!

Aw, thanks! Makes me want more lemonade LOL

I found it on Amazon. Not sure how high the quality was but I wanted to just try a small batch with the scent :)

What did you think of it? Do you think you'll use it again? If so, are you willing to share which one you got in Amazon?

@coffeerocks4764 it smelled nice but accelerated like crazy. I would say probably not worth sharing 🤷‍♀️ Peony essential oil is kind of rare and a pure oil would be pretty expensive.

Ok, thank you for the info on peony essential oil. I'm enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us in soap making!

I'm happy to share any little tips & tricks. As I've gotten more experienced I've made some slight changes but we all figure out our style with time :)

Wow awesome. How did it go?

@@wildbackyardsoaps went pretty good. Anxious to see how the colors and inside come out. Any new videos coming out? Enjoy how you present your creations

@karenurbanski5004 I still have over a dozen videos that I just need to edit. Been sick and 31 weeks pregnant so very very behind!

@@wildbackyardsoaps OK

@@wildbackyardsoaps cut it already it turned out great

This was one of my first lavender soaps. When I first started I used mica powders but have been straying away from them since then.

@@wildbackyardsoaps yes I longer use micas . Love all your videos.

Thank you! I have changed my design a couple times since then. I want to come back to adding a black stripe or keeping the top wider to show more comb.

@@wildbackyardsoaps any new videos coming out?

@karenurbanski5004 yes! I still have about a dozen ones from last summer to edit LOL. We had our baby on mother's day and I'm starting to feel rested enough to get back to editing soon. Stay tuned! I'll share more updates on life and soap ideas :)

@@wildbackyardsoaps I will be waiting. Congrats on the little one

Hard to explain but it's in the bamboo and Teak video. Slid them in sideways to look like bamboo reeds sticking up

Thank you!! Was definitely fun to make!

Awesome!

Awesome, I'm glad you found it helpful :)

Just west of Rapid near Pactola. I've been starting to run into more soapmakers in the area the past couple months!

@@wildbackyardsoaps that is so cool! I love your soaps and videos! My husband insisted we move out of Rapid Valley and now he insists that we move back. I guess he figured out the grass really is greener in Rapid! Our little secret. Anyway, we are selling our house, again 😳 here in Missouri and coming back within a couple months. I imagine I will run into you, even if I don’t recognize you. I may work at Walmart on LaCrosse in the front end again. I will definitely say hi if I see you!

Was super fun! :)

@@wildbackyardsoaps just live your videos. You are just so natural and fun to watch

@karenurbanski5004 haha thanks! I feel quite silly and unprofessional sometimes but having fun!

@@wildbackyardsoaps love your personality

Not sure what you're asking here

What do you Superfat

@@wildbackyardsoaps sorry just Sawa that you SF 5%. Just love your videos. Great natural ideas

Yes the superfat in my recipes are usually 5-8%. I have to keep it lower because many of my recipes are palm free and vegan so the fats don't always have as nice of a lather otherwise.

@@wildbackyardsoaps I agree

Haha that's true! But might not be distilled 🤣

And thank YOU for the kind words of encouragement. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Your description of a post-rain forest sounds accurate actually!

Awesome! Glad you're here and hope it will be helpful for you :)

Thank you!

Yes! I'm sad they are all sold already 🤣 Time to restock!

Thank you ❤️
