I'm a retired chef and disabled for alot of reasons. I started making soap for a hobby but soon realized that I had to do something with the soap! I sell at our local farmers market and a couple craft shows. I have a small business but I enjoy it. Thanks for the videos. I live in Idaho in the USA.
I think that's the biggest problem with soap making. It's so addictive you always want to do it but you can't just make one bar 😆 I'm so happy to hear you could turn your hobby into an enjoyable business ❤
I'm a permanently disabled nurse with some knowledge of essential oils . homebound I had to contribute to the fight against Covid. Like you I've done crafting all my life my Tea Tree soap came to be. I've teamed up 4 heavy hitters and these are sold at just over my cost, 1blissfullbath came to be. Like many I wasn't satisfied with just M&P and have started CP products..I love it! So I now make bath bombs, M&P and CP soaps. Just dipping my toes in a vast knowledge base. That's how I found you!
Beautiful, lovely soap and inspiring story. I inherited soaping from my adopted grandmother and mother, it's not a business persay, but a relaxing interest that makes me happy.
I think its amazing that you have learned from your adopted grandmother and mother. It's so great to know these skills are still passed through the generations 💗
Great work! My business started because of my mum. She had a skin condition and her specialist told her to use Plain Lye Soap to wash with, so we decided to learn how to make the soap for her. Hubby & I enjoyed making soap we found out. We loved it so much we made an over abundance of it and had to give it away. Family & friends said we should start a business cause they loved our soaps. That's how we got started.
I actually started making soap because of I Dream In Soap and Royalty Soaps. They inspired me so much that I ordered a few things at a time and then once I got everything I needed I started making soap.
I don't have my own business i do dabble in some stuff( bath bombs, whipped soap, melt n pour, etc) looking forward to trying cold process. I started watching soap videos by accident and kept watching cause they were so relaxing. Your soaps always come out great
Thank you ❤ careful - it's how I got into soapmaking 😆 I was making other B&B products (but for business) and stumbled across soap videos. I watch for about 3yrs then caught the bug
What a wonderful story about your grand dad. I'm so glad your business is doing well as a tribute to your family. That's wonderful. The soap is beautiful. TFS
Amazon carries oomoo 30 silicone rubber...$25 ...makes great molds, Ive used it successfully to create molds for soap making (cold process & glycerin). When my 8 year old wants to play with mold making supplies, we get in the kitchen and make molds using gelatin and glycerin. Unbelievably, this combination makes a very usable mold. What I like most about making these types of molds is: the product is reusable. So, I melt it down after we are finished playing with it, store it in a mason jar, then pull it out and make molds of all sorts of things. Thank you for sharing your craft. Your work is well thought out and your explaining is clear and video quality is always great. Thank you!!! I also enjoy the Canadian & Texan Soapers!
Keely i found this particular video and I watched and learned about your reason for starting the business. What a lovely story and memory you have about your granddad ❤
Thank you for adding your story! ❤️ my soap company is called Oak Leaves and Roses Soapery. Oak for my grandpa and rose for my grandma - their fave plants. I love that your grandpa told you about your great grandma making candles. Makes it just feel right to carry on.
I started making soap about 6yrs ago for my Dad. Being 80, his skin was as thin as tissue paper. Bathing caused major issues. Being a chemist I started researching skin products and came up with the idea of proper soap. It was great for the last 3yrs of his life and I'm hoping to turn my hobby into a business in the New Year when I've figured how Brexit will affect cosmetic safety rules.
I wish you all the best turning a hobby into a business. It's so great when we can do things for our parents that make life a little easier. I am keen to know how Brexit will affect the cosmetic rulings. Even though the rules are tough, it does keep things safe
Thanks for this video, Keeley! I'm just starting my soaping and working full time as an insurance broker. I'm lucky that I do work from home, so I don't have to worry about that commute anymore, but being a very crafty person myself, the office job is really not my passion. I'm aiming to turn my bath products into a full time business one day. For now, I'm enjoying learning loads from watching you, Lee, and I also love Royalty Soaps (Katie is just so sweet!) and Le Fl... Arienne!
Really nice! I have not started a business as of yet, hopefully one day. I started making CP since 2015. Basically family and now has turned to friends and coworkers.
I have subscribed to your site as I hope to pick up some tips from a fellow Australian, learning where you get your quality products will be a great help
Love knowing that you are in Australia, I'm in Tasmania on a disability pension I have started making candles but being a chef I am really wanting to make soap so I'm watching many ,many soap and candle videos
Love your videos! Loved your story and it is a touch like my own. Thank you for showing the gorgeous soaps and techniques, you are a wonderful inspiration. Stay happy! :-) -Margaret
New subbie here, great job on the video! I love your soap! Very nice berries. I have PCOS also!! It.Sucks. I love the birds in the background. I'm glad you love soaping and are in a better place now. I do also but have had to stop this year due to surgeries and health issues. I love Ariane and Katie too, as well as Holly from Missouri River Soap, I can't name them all, lol. I do crafts as well, but now on disability and wanted something to do. I do watercolor and oil painting, sewing, make jewelry but I've found that making soap truly makes me happy. 💖🖤🧡 Hugz, Tree
Hi Tree, I am sorry to hear of all your health issues and hope you can get back into soap making again soon. It is so relaxing but so is so many other crafts too 💗 It's not fun living with PCOS but I am also grateful as it has shaped my life to what I live today which make me happy :)
I started making bath bombs to fund our IVF dreams. I also have PCOS and I’m unable to get pregnant without assistance. I’m hoping to add CP to my line as well. Thank you for inspiring me 💜 I can’t wait to start
Along with your business the 3 other videos soap businesses I watch constantly are the same two you were inspired by too as well as Wicked Lee as she is in Australia too. I'm a Consultant for a bath and body Company which has not long started in Australia and as I started to watch videos I thought to myself I can make better products than I'm selling and I feel the prices are far too inflated so for 6-8 months watching soap and body products videos and hope to start very soon
I love watching Lee's video too - her chatter always makes me smile and laugh. It is so satisfying making your own products and easier to sell as you know more about your ingredients.
WOW~ Just Beautiful!!! Thank you for your videos! When you make your soap batches for your piping bags ~ for the leaves, the little green bud on top of the white flower ~How small of a recipe are you making? Thanks Again!
Looks good enough to eat! Haha. Thanks for sharing your story. I would love to make soap, but right now I really enjoy watching. I didn’t catch the name of the product you used to make your raspberry embeds. Please share. Keep on soaping.
Thank you! I used Pinkysil to make my embeds (I will be doing a video on it very soon). I believe it's an Australian company that makes it, but I have seen it on Amazon for shipping overseas. I hope you get to make some soaps soon - it's a lot of fun 💗
@@shellachuamd1226 no sorry they don't sell it. There are several online stores that sell it. It's made by Barnes and they have several stores as well as online 😊

It will come! Before you know it, you will be making for strangers who soon become familiar faces 💗
Lovely soap! Fun mix of color. Big thumbs up!
Thank you!
This is tantalizing the taste buds!!! Does it taste as good as it looks??? Awesome job!!
Not sure about taste but it smells so good ❤
That is beautiful!! I’m doing my first show with soap next weekend in Baraboo.
Good luck 🧡 have fun
Beautiful soap! 💕💕💕💕

This is gorgeous. My bath and body business started out of my old custom gift basket business. Have a great weekend love!💗

Thank you for stopping by! Having chef skills would be great for some of the candle and soaping techniques. A little hard to pipe wax but it is doable
Thanks for the quick response. Can’t wait for that video!
Beautiful.
Thank you ❤
Love how it turned out.
