Loving this style of video! It’s a bit of making and a bit of calm and peaceful. Channeling your inner Tellervo.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you very much! Her videos are pure art!

[@SteadfastTrailFarm]

As an artist it's so important to keep that creativity flowing!!! You are all about the experience in both your products and videos! Many appreciate that!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Absolutely!! Thank you for understanding 💗

[@NeccoWecco]

I miss your old style of video! These are nice cinematographically, but I really watch your channel for you/your personality and to hear your thoughts while you create. :) I know how hard you work on your videos and how time consuming it is, but I personally don't feel it's necessary!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you for the feedback!!

[@AmberBathCo]

I disagree. I LOVE THESE STYLE OF VIDEOS. Please keep making them! ❤​@JerikaZimmerman

[@brittg3600]

Those wrapped soaps would be nice for wedding favors

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I think so too!!

[@divinelove4604]

[@augustbutkovich5602]

Jerika, I'm LOVING this style if videos you're doing. I also agree that you need to keep it real foe yourself. This is YOUR business and YOUR pleasure, passion and you need to enjoy it...thank you foe that message. I'm on March break this week which means I'm not teaching kindergarteners and then coming home to make all night lol. I'm free and clear this week to create on my own time and in my own way. It feels good 😊

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yay! Thank you! And enjoy the break AND your making time ❤️

[@javabeanme]

This was a back to how I started watching you vibe! Welcome home! I swear it was two or three kitchens ago! I loved those videos. Your channel is great but you can tell you are where you need to be and doing what you need to do! Gorgeous products! Keep on keeping on!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yes! Thank you!

[@ebonybrodie1136]

I absolutely love you as a person , you rock ! & i needed to hear the things you spoke of with your company and not losing passion and enjoying the creative part of it ! I’m here with you ! Definitely been watching from day one of my soaping journey love the inspiration you give ! ❤

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you so much!!

And the type of soap embossing. Love your videos! Awesome and your growth is wonderful. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️🖤❤️

This style reminds me of that soapmaker tellervo's videos on here. Absolutely beautiful, destressing, and relaxing.

[@garciabreu]

I am loving the new videos, we still get to listen to you but also see and enjoy it. 🎉

[@EssentialSpaCompany]

I LOVE This style of video!! It is so relaxing to watch and Listen to while also showing your extra creative side. The Lavender soaps are absolutely Beautiful xoxo

Loved the editing throughout ……the music is soothing……oh Jerika the BathBombs are so elegant…..perfect for Mother’s Day……such delicate work….headed in the right direction …….please remind people of special days ahead

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yes!! Perfect for Mother’s Day! ❤

[@sarahdawn8114]

I really enjoyed that the first part showed you making the soap beautifully and very aesthetic... but that you still did a talk-through with your bath bomb icing. I do enjoy the talk through style more than the aesthetic style, but if it's bringing you joy that's the most important! Hope you and Cale are well!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yes, I’m trying a mix of both! ❤

[@sarahdawn8114]

@@JerikaZimmerman it’s a really lovely blend so far!! And those bath bombs…. Gorgeous and so creative!! I think it’s so special to make them small batch because when someone buys them they feel like they’ve really got a unique thing.

[@rachaelorval111]

Hi Jerika, I am watching your video now and I think that, as a soap maker in Australia, I know exactly what you are doing and I have been so relaxed watching your new version, it's like a shedding of the skin, so to speak. I imagine what's coming next, and it's how perfect I hope the process will be for me too. Trying to be calm and prepared is how I make my best soap, but I must admit that nothing goes perfectly with every batch and one must be on the ball when the elements throw a curve ball. Well done and I encourage you to mske more product lije this. Very inspirational, keep going.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Girl, I am so feeling this new era. Yes, it’s definitely like shedding a skin and bringing the art back into soapmaking . Thank you for seeing me and the encouragement 🥰🥹

[@nicolesimpson-bl4xr]

So beautiful and I see that you put the love in your art and it shows 💓💓

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you so much!

So beautiful ❤❤❤❤ I love this. So so pretty ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you!!!

[@consuela3214]

I love how you decorated the lavender soap. And the bath bombs are gorgeous. I bet the essential oil combination smells delightful, for the Matcha tea soap. I also have the same match powder 😊

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you! Have you soaped with it!?

[@fionar1656]

Lovely vlog & creativity. Keep it up! The green tea soap looked amazing & your soap bombs were very pretty. Thank you for the soap recipe.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

You’re so welcome, thanks for watching!

[@soakitin-artisansoap8317]

The novelty soaps and bathbombs look super cute. Great job. I do have to say, normally the bathbombs indent is where you pipe the frosting 😂. Different is good too.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yep! But what if it rolls!? 😂

[@cynthiaabraham5506]

You’re awesome love your soaps.You’re truly blessed.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you so much!

[@heathermoreland6015]

One way todo piping is to pipe the furthest from you first, so you don’t drag a sleeve or anything through the finished one. I loved this video, I think it’s really important that you follow your inspiration and not make soap a grind. 😊

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Good tip! And thanks for watching!!!

[@kattaylor9294]

Love the iridescent sheen. I have the pink peony scent too. Just haven't used it yet. You do you, your prisucts are always beautiful.

Thank you so much! This scent is amazing!

Thank you! ❤

[@803trends]

I love how you are doing those soaps. So classy! Im getting Victorian era vibes from these products. I love the video's Jerika. Soothing and serene. Have you thought of making powdered bath soak with natural flowers? If not maybe this is an idea. I would buy that. Im not a bath bomb person but I would sprinkle a "soak" . Maybe Ill get lucky and see this oneday😊

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Ooooh ! That sounds so so so intriguing! 🤔 maybe soon!

Its gorgeous soaps just like Telervo's. ❤ how thick do you cut and the weight pls Jerika?

They’re about 1.2” thick and 7oz each. They’re big bars 😊

[@dreacarter5939]

What is that laser machine?

Doesn’t the wax ruin the soap?

Lower your soaping temperature and you will be fine with pomace oil

Hi Jerika, do you need to get insurance or permits in Canada to make soap and candles from home?

Insurance is not a requirement but highly recommended. There was no permit required when I lived in Canada 😊

Thank you so much for the reply. Love watching your videos ❤

Beautiful green . Will it stay green. Not used to you seeing you soap in your kitchen.

If kept in the complete dark, it will stay dark green for at least a month, but it will slowly fade.
