[@sabrinaaguilera7657]

Hi Lisa nice to meet you 🤗 I’m a new subscriber here. I’m from the US🇺🇸 I’ve bought so much homemade soap from a nice man on a farm in Texas who has so much knowledge. But I’ve wanted to learn to make soap myself just never have yet because I have a large dresser full of his creations. 🥰 but I still like learning so that one day I will try it myself. Your video popped up on my live feed so I watched it as I live by the beach and had to watch your video. I loved it! Thank you for your tutorial🌊🐳🐋🧼 I love love love your killer whale soaps 💙💙💙💙💙

Absolutely wonderful! Those are just marvelous whales, and your ocean came out beautifully. I was surprised by how the leaping whale appears to be partly In the water, despite having been placed on after it was poured. I wish I'd seen better how you did that. Anyway, another wonderful video -- thank you so much!

[@HeatherHogue73]

Absolutely stunning!

[@Jinxs-Journey]

Wahoo snapped up the galaxy of stars bar, the Bermuda Triangle and two leprechaun bars. I got so excited ordering the first two bars I totally missed the other two so you have two orders and delivery’s for me. Set my alarm to go off at 6 because I wanted the leprechaun ones so badly. Sure my Irish relatives will enjoy them, I’m going to gift a few of my new bars to friends. The ones I picked up recently from you are amazing, love story is lovely in the shower. I made sure to buy a new soap holder so my soap doesn’t stay wet as well.these look amazing

[@IDreamInSoap]

AW, thank you for your lovely comment. Oh gosh, I didn't spot the 2 orders in the same name (I'm normally quite good at that), now I've gone back and checked. As they're going to the same address I'll repack them and combine the postage and refund one of the postage charges.

[@beckhill6642]

Oh stunning! This has to be another of my all time favourites!! And that was so super lovely of you to hold off your soap video in support of your friend, you are so kind! And thank you for mentioning her, another soapy channel for me to watch!! Hope you are well, thanks for sharing!

[@carols5665]

Another amazing design! I visited your shop the other day and was wondering if you’ll ever do a video for your salt bars. I know they’re not fancy like these but from what I’ve learned so far the recipe is unique and I’d be curious to see how you go about it. I’ve never seen anyone do fancy swirls with a salt bar.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi Carol, I do have a video on how to make salt bars, it is an old recipe that I used to se but not one I created myself. The details of the recipe are all in the video. I think I do an ombre pour in the video, here's the link to that one, but you have given me an idea to do a new 'updated' salt bar video studio.kzbin.info3VxT12Q5k6Q/edit

[@datbat1]

I love the colors you've chosen for the ocean. I find it hard to select colors for water, but you have such a good eye. I wonder if the Turquoise Delight has a lot of TD in it. That might explain why it accelerates your batter. I get so frustrated with TD -- it's harder to blend in; it tends to accelerate my batter; and it sometimes causes glycerin rivers if I don't discount my water enough or if I get a hotter soap because I use milk. When I heard that TD is a potential health hazard (a rumor -- don't know if that's true), I got on this kick where I wanted to eliminate it entirely from my soap. What I found, though, is that many micas contain TD, so it would be nearly impossible to stop using TD entirely unless I moved to all oxides or something. I appreciate your warning about acceleration with that mica. We hear a lot about how different oils and fragrances behave, but the variability in behaviors for micas is something I never knew about until recently. I think there should be more of a discourse about this topic.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yes, with TD you are correct, it is in many micas, so it would be tricky to eliminate. The danger from TD comes from how it's produced and that if workers are not dressed properly they could inhale particles. Once being used for soap (or whatever) it's safe to handle and use and there are no safety hazards for having it in your soap. Have you seen my video on preparing TD (it's one of the earliest videos on my channel) if you prepare it 'properly' you don't need to blend it in. I only ever stir my TD in because of the way I prepare it, so that helps with not having your batter accelerate. Also, TD doesn't cause glycerin rivers, it's a popular myth. The glycerin rivers are caused when you have too much water (as you say) or to much heat, or a combination of both. Because TD has larger particles the effect of the glycerin rivers shows up much more than in other colours. Do you mix your TD with water? If so try to get some TD that is mixed with oil. If you use the one with water, you are adding more water back into your soap, therefore reducing the effect of your water discount. I hope this helps.

[@datbat1]

Thank you so much for your detailed response. I will look at the TD video.
