    Hi Holly, I stumbled on your videos in my feed and have been glued to your tutorials ever since. I love how your soaps come out, how you shoot and narrate the videos and I just can't stop watching your videos. Can I also say that I just love your style of soaping. You, along with the other handful of soapers I watch are just so inspiring. Note: I pick up habits from the other soapers. My habit from you is when I start to make my soaps I will definitely stick blend and mix the batter with the spatula AND place the spatula in the soap mould before pouring the soap batter in. I'm in my second year of learning and just love to see the wonderful veteran's show their knowledge. Thank you for being here for early soapers like me! 😊

  • @carmencaicedo5971
    @carmencaicedo5971 Před 3 lety
