    I do a TON of shopping for soap supplies online and eBates lets you get rebates at nearly every major online retailer, including Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. I literally save money just by opening up a tab in my browser via their link. I have already received a check from them within the first month so I just thought I would let you guys know about this since we soap makers and DIYers buy so much online! Plus, it's free! Yippee! :D

    When I was in pastry school, for a class we had to basically create an entire desert buffet. And one of my items were Lavender Macaron. And they were just heavenly, and absolutely delightful. The shells themselves weren't flavored lavender, but had little sprinklings of lavender buds on the top of the cookies. And the inside which had an Italian merengue buttercream that was flavored with Lavender essence. They were just delightful, and I feel like one of my very best works in my time in pastry school. Just thought I'd share that.

    • @linlupin

      Lavender flavour is quite hard not to go overboard with! I made a simple syrup out of it once and even though I barely used any oil it was INTENSE

    • @shanonfreek
      @shanonfreek Před 6 lety +1

      So, I went to find what I actually used. Because I still have it in my cupboard. It's Natural Lavender Flavor, came in a large set of different flavors. Just smelling it, it's very light, and mostly smells like alcohol tbh.

      UnderstandablyCliche that sounds awesome! I’m no professional chef or anything but I do love to bake, and my signature recipe I always talk about is my tarts. They’re an almond flour crust with a strawberry lime and hibiscus custard filling and then toasted meringue on top. I also always add a slice of lime as garnish 🤤

      I ended up actually dropping out of pastry school with only one course left. It was just a toxic environment, and I was told that this was the way it was in the industry. So, I said, well if that's how it is in the industry, I don't want to be in it. My specialty is the french macaron, I actually made macaron as wedding favors for my wedding. One cookie for each of the three of our wedding colors. Everyone was very impressed, until they realized how much food dye was actually in them.

    Last year I had this idea for making necklaces and when I first thought of it, I thought "theres no way //I// can do this". fast forward to now and i've made a TON and everyone thinks they are super unique and I love making them. I had to learn how to cast items in silicone, make my own pendant molds, and use and color resin properly along with how to gloss them. I didn't think i could do all that but it only took a little bit of time and patience to do it! follow ur dreams!!!!

      It would probably be safer for me to get it without the necklace then and use my own, then. I'm pretty allergic to nickel.

    That message at the beginning is really helpful!
    I have been watching you for over a year but only just started making soap a month ago which was triggered by something you said in a video. Knowing that you were my age when you started creating and selling soap was really encouraging to me, since a lot of soap makers on CZcams are older women who have more money and resources.
    I've had so much fun creating soap and can't wait until I have enough products to open an Etsy shop.

    I really agree with the intro. No one is born a master at anything. And the best part about being a beginner is you can only go up from there! As you progress in whatever art or craft you choose, you'll only get better. You should only compare yourself to YOUR previous work, not others' works. I've tried so many crafts and, though I never master any of them, I always feel proud of what I've made because only I could have created it that way.

    I resisted learning how to do yarn crafts for years (mum tried to teach me to knit as a sprog and it didn't take). In the last 2 weeks I've taught myself to crochet from watching videos and looking up how-to blogs and now I can make beanies, face cloths, dish scrubbers, flowers and granny squares.
    On the other side of things, I've been a sewing instructor for the last year and the majority of my students are ladies in their 40's-60's looking to make things for themselves and their grandchildren. I love teaching beginners because I get to see the moment when things click and they get really excited about trying new things on their own.

    I also tend to find the smell of lavender too overpowering, but in the recent search for more ways to fight the multi-day headaches I can get, someone recommended mixing lavender and peppermint essential oils to use in a diffuser. Low and behold, it helps! I imagine that scent mix in a soap to combine with shower steam would be magic.

    I always felt like picking up a "big" hobby like pottery or soap making would be too much for me but by chance got a magazine from my local parks and recreation center and they had an absolute beginners pottery class and a soap making class so I dove in! And I loved it. I really suggest checking your local parks and rec center because they have so many community classes where you can try something without buying a whole setup and going in blind

    Your message at the beginning of the video was just what I needed to hear today. I've just started into soap making and I am using Melt and Pour. I actually got inspired by your videos! Lately, I've been feeling inferior in what I'm making so that message is helping me so much. Thank you so much!

    Lavender and vanilla is one of my favorite scent combination. If you haven't tried "secret island" from nurture soap, I recommend it. It's a vanilla scent that will combine with lavender essential oil beautifully, especially in lotion.

    I totally agree with everything you said about handmaking and artistry! I'm a seamstress by trade, and while I love that people find what I make beautiful and unique, if you have basic motor skills (and not everyone does, but most people do)- you can learn to sew!
    With almost every by hand creative skill you need 3 steps!
    1. Do your research.
    2. Practice (and accept that not everything will be perfect everytime).
    3. Seek guidance from others.

    I loved the intro!
    I agree, making something with your hands feels really great, and I think there's a crafty hobby out there for everyone.
    There's a lot of crafting I"m pretty bad at lol. Drawing, painting, sewing, those paper crafts, not my thing. But I LOVE knitting. I learned when I was 12, and I was pretty darn terrible at it for a while, but I stuck with it and now I can do pretty intricate stuff that I really love. And I even have a fondness for my old stuff, there's charm and character there. It's just nice to be able to have something you made yourself.
    Point is, there's a craft out there for everyone. Just give something a try and stick with it!

  • @thetimetravellingtailor6323

    I really love to watch your videos while knitting! It's so calming and I love the things you said about how if you're thinking of starting a craft you should take that first step and do it - I never thought I'd be able to knit because it basically looked like wizardry but I took that first step and learnt from a friend and now knitting is one of my favourite hobbies. (If anyone wants to know, I am knitting a simple shawl. The instruction is 'Yarn over, knit to the end of the row.')

    My sister, my mom and I actually made lavender soap this weekend! We were inspired by the video you did with your mom using a soap kit and my sister has always wanted to make soap!
    I love lavender scents personally. I get it from my mom. I would love an Earl Grey tea soap too! It’s one of my favorite scents.

    I've tried a few different lavender vanilla fragrance oils but my most favorite is by Rustic Escentuals. It has a baby powdery scent that smells so good. They also make one called lavender mist that has a calming clean scent that is wonderful too.

    The timing of that opening discussion is so wild... For a good long while I've always wanted to start up an etsy shop, but was always worried about not having interesting enough items or all the fancy tech to make nice pictures. It kept me from trying to sell my creations for a very long time, despite the encouragement of people around me.
    ... Well, today I just listed my first item! :D
    There's a lot I feel I could improve on with just this one... my photos aren't the prettiest even after editing and my social media feed makes me look like an absolute nobody, but at one point I just told myself "done is better than perfect", and now I have to keep reminding myself that a business is a process and as long as I keep putting in the effort, things will improve. I won't lie and say that it isn't all a little scary, but just taking that first step gave me a lot of confidence. (I even got a few likes on instagram today!!)

Thanks to you and how infectious your personality is and how informative you are I actually started making my own soaps and other products. I even did some collage classes. So thank you so much for sharing your videos! And helping me find something I really enjoy in life. You really are the soap dutchess!

    I mentioned in another comment in a different video that I've been binging your videos and it's really sparked my interest in picking up yet another hobby! I have tried melt and pour before and it was OK, but what you do with cold process has really inspired me to give this a try. This intro especially had be scheming to try and try my hand at soap making.

    Your intro was so awesome!! I made my first ever cold process soap yesterday and can't wait to be able to unmold it. I can't believe how much I learned from one tiny batch. I look forward to nailing down my own recipe to use to sell soap, but for now I will stick with your amazeballs recipe!!
