I am so happy you are back Holly. I love spending time with you especially when you make your 'soul soothing' soaps. Anyhow, glad to see you soap!!
Thank you so much! I'm loving making soap again!
That top texturing gave me petal vibes, a very pretty soap indeed!
Thank you!
Thank you for your advice on what you would do next time. You're a great teacher as well. Thank you for your time. It is greatly appreciated!!!!!!! God bless you Ms. Holly!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Joy! I finally decided...I should just tell you all what I'm thinking. Haha!
Hi Jolly! I enjoy your videos 100% . I stay up late watching your videos they are so inspiring.
Thanks.
Awe thanks so much!
Beautiful soap Holly, I wish i could smell it. 🍓🍾
Thank you! It smells amazing!
So glad you are back here. I learn so much from you and you were the first person I watched making soap.
Thanks so much! That's fun! My first was Tiggy with Future Primitive. Do you watch her videos?
@@moriversoap not yet but while start now. Thank you
I love glycerin rivers 💜💜 Your soap looks gorgeous - thanks so much for sharing
Yay! Thanks so much!
Lovely strawberries and champagne! 🍾
Thank you!
Love your hanger swirl love how they turned out.The top of your soap is beautiful looks like rose petals 😊xx
Thank you Jayne!
Oh, the beautiful hanger swirl 🥰 Your soaps are amazing
Thank you Christine!
I love Strawberry and Champagne scented things.
It's so good!
-50 omg I can't even imagine that kind of cold. 🥶 Beautiful soap Holly!
Thank you! It was certainly silly. The hardest part of it all, which I should have mentioned, was dealing with the dogs. Every trip out was coats and boots for them all. That's a lot of boots to put on. We had to do boots or their paws would start hurting and we'd have to carry them back to the camper before they did their business.
I love how you listed the fragrance notes!! Thanks much! Love your videos.
Thank you!
Oh my those colours are gorgeous and the design is perfect 😊
Thank you Susan!
My favorite is back!!! Thank you so much!! I’ve already ordered. ❤❤❤
I'm so glad! Thank you!
I love the top! Beautiful soap!❤
Thank you!
love this !
Thank you!
Such a beautiful soapHolly! 🥰
Thank you Clivia!
Thanks for the video. I live a couple states over, in Washington, and oh my goodness an i glad we didn't get that 🥶 cold!! Sounds horrible! And brrrrr! Beautiful soaps❤ the fragrance sounds wonderful!!
Thank you! I'm glad you didn't get the cold either! Our barista had frozen pipes in her kitchen for a week!
Hey! I've never smelt this scent before...I'm off now to investigate....😊. Thanks as ever Holly. X❤
It's super nice! Thank you Sarah!
I heard that “dang nabbit” all the way here in Green Bay! Love this soap 💗
Haha! Thank you!
Holly, I noticed my last order of soap didn’t have the pretty shaved edges. It really gave them a polished look.
Thank you for your order! We quit beveling the edges back in 2022 to save time. I love the look too but I can't take the time it requires anymore. The good news is that the bars weigh a bit more and they will naturally bevel with the first use or two.
❤❤
What a fab looking soap, can I ask what coconut milk you use?
Thanks! I use Native Forest Organic Simple.
Forever years ago Victoria Secret had a body spray that strawberry and champagne...I loved it.
I loved it too.
Beautiful soap!
I have not heard of these door blanket heaters? I’m north of you in Alberta and it was bitterly cold. I was going to ask if you could still use your water. Did you go thru a lot of propane?
Thanks! It's not a heater but a thick insulator blanket that sits up against the door. It attaches with some velcro. Then it has a magnetic opening in the middle. It was so handy! We put it back on last night as we got down to -15. We probably used a lot of propane. We have a big tank so I'm not sure what we went through. Our power bill was up about $100 though because we were running extra heaters. We had one in the vault where our pressure pump is, one under the camper, one in our bedroom and one in the kids bedroom, and then I had two extras going in the workshop. But at least it was just a small space still and not a big house.
Oh, we also just moved over to our tanks. We can go about a day and a half or two days on our tanks using water as normal. We have two hydrants. One is shut off so the water drains and it doesn't freeze. So he just uses a hose to fill our tanks. Normally, we have a heated hose attached to the other hydrant. It's on all of the time but has a heat lamp and an insulated box around it. So we have normal water most of the time. That works great to -20 to -25. The last two nights have been colder, down to -15, and we keep our hose attached and water flowing per usual.
Thanks! Found them on amazon! Great you have electricity too. No more of that kind of cold til next December/January hopefully. I'm ready to start gardening :) @@moriversoap
Hi Holly, may I please ask what you line your mold with? I have tried freezer paper and I've had a hard time getting it to crease into the bottom edges. Yours looks thinner than freezer paper.
Hi Trisha. I'm using freezer paper. It will be a bit yet but I plan to have a video coming out of my entire prep process.
Thank you! I would love that!
Hi Holly another beautiful Soap. You are my soapy hero. I was wondering if you could share your above camera set up. Its such a great view. Thanks Bunch's.
Thank you! I'm so glad you like that viewpoint. I will try to get some video from my phone sometime, but it's just the tripod about as high as it goes and then the camera angled down.
Thank You@@moriversoap
Where do you get this FO from?
This one is from The Flaming Candle.
What about stirring your fragrance in by hand?
I don't trust just stirring it in as there are times it might not fully incorporate and cause fragrance droplets within the soap.
Hi, Holly, I did see that there is an oil-based TD form wholesale plus.
I used that back in the olden days and it didn't mix very well. But I really should try it again!
@@moriversoapI still have lots of problems with the oil based TD clumping and not evenly dispersing no matter how much I blend it 🤪. I now use white mica to brighten my colors. So much easier.
@@countryblends Thank you for sharing your experience. I haven't the best luck with the white micas but do use them from time to time myself. Maybe I'm not using the best one.
What brand of coconut milk do you use?
I like to use the Native Forest Simple Organic Coconut Milk. I buy a case at either Amazon or Thrive Market. I have found it locally at the health food store...well, when I lived in MO. I haven't looked for it in MT. It's so creamy and dreamy!
@@moriversoap thank you so much!!!!
Wao!!! You are a hard worker woman. What is the weight of each bar
Thanks! They are typically 4.5-5oz.
They look like jelly fish. You should make a jelly fish soap.
That's a fun idea!
Holly, does your soap get condensation in the cold weather? I live in Northern California right on the coast and I have to bring my soap in the house to cure. The condensation is very high here.
I haven't had any condensation on my soaps as of yet.
I understand that this was made over a month ago, but you are staying in an RV in -50 degrees? What town are you in, in Montana? That’s unreal.
We are and doing great! We fared so much better than most of the people in houses in the area. We were a cozy 72 degrees. Our barista had frozen pipes in her house for over a week and she lives 1000 feet lower than us. I'd say we were the lucky ones. We're out west of Kalispell. Like I said, we experience this cold maybe a total of 6-7 days out of the entire winter. For the most part, we're around freezing or just below at night.
I love your channel! Your knowledgeable and fun to listen to… totally hear ya with having a mash-up of songs playing in your head 😂
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos!
