    I love how long your videos are and how many unique techniques you've shown us. Its very helpful. I decided to go ahead and try to start my own little soap business here in Colorado, i purchased everything needed to start a business so I hope i can succeed at it otherwise ill have to go job hunting again. So thank you so so SO VERY MUCH for all of your advice you've shared. It's going to help my son and myself out tremendously and i can't say thank you enough. You, royalty soaps, and bramble berry are the ones who had taught me the most on how to do it. Ill keep you updated on my status of it! Have a great day. Best wishes to you and yours, forever and always.

    Hi Karen, I use Eazy Colours all the time and you don't need that much dye, for embeds I use 0.2 grams per 100g of bicarb, it gives an amazing colour show. For yellow and red blend I at least double up to about 0.4g. It's more cost affective but still giving a fantastic colour. If you disolve the dye first in about 2ml of water first it will make your colours pop more xx

    Hey Karen! I was cracking up because I know that awesome feeling of satisfaction! Lol ; ) There are so many ways to get a lot of embeds done quickly. The flattening on a tray and slicing is a great way to get a lot done fast. I've used a teaspoon just like the melon baller but scoop the mix and just "slide it up the side of the bowl" and tap it out instead of packing each by hand. You can also make a cool "rainbow style" embed by packing different colored flat layers on top of each other in a deep loaf type mold, turn it out on the counter and slice your desired size. Ya have to work a bit fast to keep each layer moist so they adhere to one another but you'll have the coolest multicolored embed all in one. They look awesome inside a cloud mold. Have a nice day and y'all stay safe...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!! xoxo : )

    I used to put my embeds into molds but found that if I just formed it into a square “cake “ the depth I wanted. Form it and wait until until perfect for cutting. Simple and fast. ❤️

    I use those thin plastic cutting mats to dry embeds on. I also use them for soap embeds. They are like bendy trays and can be reused again and again. I thought I was the only person to use a coffee spoon to make bb embeds.. now I will get a melon baller! Come to think on it, I’m sure I have a Tupperware one hanging around in The Kitchen Drawer. I also use silicone ice cube trays. I like your cardboard box method best, as you can make up a box to size. Excellent idea! I also think a previous commenters idea of rainbow squares is inspired. And clever. It would look amazing.
    At this point I would just like to make a cultural point. I live in NZ. I make gorgeous bath bombs. People say “ oh, how lovely”, “ gorgeous”, “ beautiful “ - and don’t buy. Why? Because 50% of NZ homes don’t have baths. They only have showers - and when they renovate or update, they rip out the baths and put in bigger showers instead. I have a relative who did just that and who when they replaced the bath in the guest bathroom has NEVER used it. It’s been in 2 yrs.

    Really relaxing and enjoyable to watch, such wonderful colors and I hope we get to see you use some of them in an upcoming video, you have such marvelous creativity. Your box method was my favorite...yes, it's quite enjoyable to watch you slicing and dicing with sich precision haha. Thank you for talking about the physical strains of your work and how it affects you. Working through the pain must be very difficult at times and yet, your demeanor remains unchanged. Such a pleasure to watch you, thank you for another great video.

      @Ann-my1dg Před 3 lety +2

    Karen, I have to tell you, I used your embed and bath bomb recipe today and they came out perfect (well, I did forget and put in part of the citric acid in then the witch hazel). I wanted you to know that you are awesome and thank you for sharing. I live in Colorado and the climate is very dry here (8100 feet, altitude) and the recipe I had been using decided not to work anymore. I used avacado oil, which is great for dryness up here. I am so happy!!!

    Hi there! I have been using nitrile globes and they resist a lot! I have used them at home for bath bombs and at the lab where I work with acids, so...I think they may work for you too. A bit expensive but to be honest, the ones that I use at home, I have reused them sometimes in the same week and they were just fine. Just a bit stiff.

      KB Soy Wax Melts UK Wax melts there is one I get from Sam’s club. They sell it in their otc medicine isle and it has a pump. That works really nice and I have a Cbd cream from Meta-Flora. It’s called tropical botanical salve and the type of cell that is is the warming. I like it because it doesn’t get hot it doesn’t smell like BenGay but it does have 700 mg of CBD but there’s no THC in this product but it works really well. It’s local to North Carolina but you can also order on their website

    Why don't you use an 8x8 cake pan? Just put the whole embed mix in and press. You can then put in your cuts and let dry in pan. Super easy and quick. You can even use another pan to squish it down so you don't have to use your thumbs so much.
