[@LisaSaliture]

Love, love, love your bath and body shop! I love every detail from the white paint on the brick walls in the pretty natural, wood tones, pastel and creams. Beautiful job and I can see why you’re very successful. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us who are still in the dreaming and testing phase:)

[@sweethopenaturals]

You are too sweet, thank you and welcome to my corner of KZbin! So happy to have you join :)

[@michellesteward8094]

I'm in love with your shop, it is beautiful. I've enjoyed your vlogs, I've been patiently waiting for the next one 🙂

[@sweethopenaturals]

Oh my goodness, you are too sweet! Thank you so much :) So glad I can be a source of inspiration. I am trying to create more content, but I don't want to bore people with the same stuff. Most of my days look pretty much the same lol.

[@Abutado]

Your shop is everything I could dream of, stunning! I would love to have one just so I could have a space separate from my home. One day, for now I'll live vicariously through you. Your photos are on point btw ❤

[@sweethopenaturals]

Thank you for the kind words and for joining me here!

[@raffiandtania6022]

God has blessed you greatly, dear sister! Thank you for bringing us along in your labor of love. Glory to God! May He continue to bless you and prosper you. 🙏

[@sweethopenaturals]

Aw thank you so much! You're so sweet :) And absolutely! I wouldn't be able to create or much less run a business if it wasn't for His grace and blessings! All glory to God!

[@raffiandtania6022]

Praise God, yes indeed!...Quick question, if you don't mind sharing, where do you source your soap boxes?@@sweethopenaturals

[@sweethopenaturals]

@@raffiandtania6022 I work with a company called emenac packaging usa and they create my custom soap boxes for me according to my specs.

Hello 👋🏻 it’s my first time watching your videos. I loved the way you made three loafs in one and cut individual bars. I have been making goat milk soap for a few months only and I was very impressed 😊 I had to come back to the comments, your vibes and personality are so beautiful and so is your shop congratulations on your beautiful work and I’m now a new subscriber.

[@sweethopenaturals]

Thank you so much for such kind compliments 💕 Welcome so happy to have you!

[@sarahgirlsoaps]

Sometimes you do have to just let it do what it does and the result might not be what we wanted, but no one else knows what was in our head when we imagined it. Love your vlogs. I love your calm energy

[@sweethopenaturals]

Ah yes, so true Sarah! Glad you agree. And thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. It's so scary putting yourself out there, but we can only be our authentic selves and hope we connect with others who can relate! Sending hugs xoxo

Hello, I'm new here, but just wanted to say how much I love your little shop❤ it's so delicate and beautifully set out, I would feel so relaxed and pampered leaving when leaving 😊

Fellow soaper here! Love your shops. I had a shop by the water in Chesapeake City, MD for a few years, but lost the rental space. I loved every second, but moved back online. It's a wonderful business to be in.

[@sweethopenaturals]

Hello!!!! It is a wonderful and fulfilling business and I’m enjoying the store front as well. I’m glad you are still online and doing what you love 💕

[@Handmadebusinesstips]

@@sweethopenaturals Thanks so much. I'll be watching your videos while I soap!

Your hairstyle is fabulous and I enjoyed your video so much. I shared your website with my sister, who lives out that way. Thanks for sharing your small business practices. I have always found Photoshop to be so daunting, but you make it look easy. 😊

[@sweethopenaturals]

Aw you're the sweetest! Thank you so much. I have been using photoshop for a long time and i know enough to make it easy to make quick changes to my labels, but starting out it can seem very complicated! Canva is an easy app to use for your labels and general graphics needs...so much easier and I use that a whole lot more now than I do PS.

Beautiful. I’m just learning and hope to start a mall business. You inspire me. Can you tell me where you get your soap boxes? I Iike how both the top and front has the window to show the soap.

You are so inspiring! Loved watching your videos…your shop is beautiful!!!! I love everything about it!!! Are you in Livermore CA?

[@sweethopenaturals]

Hello and welcome :) I appreciate the kind words, thank you. My shop is located in Downtown Livermore, CA!

[@CraftyRie]

I love your soap packaging! Is it plastic free (just cardboard)?

[@sweethopenaturals]

yes all plastic free!

[@Coconutluxenaturals]

Those boxes are gorgeous 🤩 May I ask where you found them?

[@sweethopenaturals]

The soap boxes? sure, I have my soap boxes custom made at emenac packaging usa. They do a great job and always very timely.

[@handworks2024]

If you soap at or below 100 degrees and just bring it to a light trace your soap should be just fine and your soap won’t move too fast.

[@sweethopenaturals]

oh totally! I always soap at room temp! If I didn't, I don't think any of my soaps would make into the molds...lol :)

[@mandypatterson790]

I’m curious about your soap boxes. I’m searching but can’t seem to find ones I like or ones that fit

[@sweethopenaturals]

Mine are made custom to my soap dimensions since we make our own molds ours soaps are not the average size.

[@LisaSaliture]

What type of color rinse do you use for your body butters and lotions? Are they Miccas or?

[@sweethopenaturals]

I use mica for soaps. I don't particularly use any color on my lotions and body creams but when I do occasionally, I use mica. And for the bath butters (whipped soap sugar scrubs) I use mica as well.

[@brittg3600]

I just found your channel today and I absolutely loved this video! The best one I’ve seen in a long time! Question. I noticed you packaged your soaps right after cutting them do you not let them cure for 4 to 6 weeks before selling?

[@sweethopenaturals]

Hi there! Thank you for the sweet compliment :) The soaps I am packaging on this video are different than the one's I cut. Those went to cure while the batch I boxed up was already cured :)

[@soakitinartisansoap]

I've tested this past year how my soaps cure both on the curing rack and in the open windows soap box and the difference is about a week longer. If I'm in full production and need more than my 9 drying racks, I'll pre-box the soaps. The trick is to wait 4 days so they are hard enough to box without damaging them. Space the boxes out so there is proper air ventilation in between.

[@brittg3600]

@@sweethopenaturals OMGoodness!! I completely did not catch that. I feel so dumb now lol

[@sweethopenaturals]

Oh please, not at all! I probably should have clarified that! Im still learning 😂

[@sweethopenaturals]

That is very smart! You have to work in a way that’s most efficient for your business especially when space is an issue. To clarify though, the soaps im packaging here are fully cured :) I have a little extra space in the shop for curing, so when I’m out of space in the workshop, I’ll move some batches to cure at the store (unboxed). Works out well!
