I'm trying get back into making my soaps an all that fun stuff. I been fighting breast cancer the last few months so chemo has really had me down.

[@chloemartel9927]

Praying you feel better soon and you are up to making soap. It is such good therapy.

[@jenniferrobin2466]

@chloemartel9927 thanks so much I need all the prayers I can get. I thought today was gonna be a good day I started making xmas tree embeds an started feeling sick. Just so depressing

[@chloemartel9927]

@@jenniferrobin2466 you are not alone in this battle. God is meeting you where you are, and He is your strength. Even if you only get half an hour of time in on your soap making it is progress. Chemo is tough and takes a lot out of you as you know. Be kind to yourself as you work through this clinging to God every step.

[@tassiegirl1991]

Wishing you all the very best. Stay positive even on the grey days. Xx

[@leshonrevels9486]

Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way! 😊😊😊

[@nancykelly9712]

[@jillreverman8120]

[@Sarahmama831]

[@brittg3600]

Look at all the snow in the back!!! I’m so jelly!!!

[@cliviascreations]

[@BodyCareBoutique]

Love the tree views along with this soap!! 😊🌲

[@shellyjones1684]

I bet this soap smells amazing! Beautiful, too.😮

[@joseliamf868]

I'm watching your back ground out the window it's looks lk a post card or calendar. Such a peaceful place to be able to make soap

[@rhondapetsch9646]

Holly, so glad you are back!! So excited.

[@teridoster5840]

I wish I loved woodsy scents, I absolutely love the simple elegance of those bars 💜

[@mrstnfmly]

all that fresh air up there. Glad to see you back, I'm standing by for the infamous Wax Melts :)

[@carolyncooper9092]

Beautiful looking soaps, soooo glad your back. Love the view from the window behind you.

[@Nancy-gl3zo]

Really pretty. I just love your personality. It's so nice to see the person behind the soap making. I feel like I know you!

[@RamoArt]

KZbin does a lot of stuff I don't agree with but I am ao thankful that it recommends videos to me from people that I used to watch a lot but aren't subscribed to for some reason. So happy to have found you again. The thumbnail looks like you're making soap in the forest at first glance lol

[@BeechHillSoap]

So happy you’re back Holly! Thank you for sharing your soap making experiences with us! I wish you well on your new launch.😊

[@angelique8310]

That green is so calming. Beautiful 😍

[@jaynegodwin3412]

Such a beautiful soap Holly love how the swirls turned out and howvthe colours on the top of the soap blended.Love your view outside .Thank you for sharing 😊 x

[@serinamagick7192]

It looks beautiful, and it definitely resembles the Montana mountains 💜💜💜

[@janetsusan8633]

Thanks for joining me while I drink my tea! 😁

[@superlibbyanne]

You have snow already! Wowzers your voice is so sweet.

[@daydreambeliever6603]

[@evehsv5556]

Very pretty. Thanks Holly loving the background through the window so beautiful where you live. 😊

[@dianehedricks7860]

These are really pretty❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@joytomasevic9679]

what a happy accident; love that the colours stayed near the top; looks lovely

[@lorettaziegler7161]

Gorgeous! Wish we could smell it. 🥰

[@BabaLiber]

The view out the window is like a portrait. I am in Edmonton, Alberta, north of you here in Canada. At the moment we don’t have any snow so I am jealous of the snow you have.

[@moriversoap]

It was gorgeous. It's all melted now. We haven't had snow for a couple of weeks but it won't be long I'm sure!

[@grinchlette]

So fun to watch your videos again. Welcome back!

[@savonneriedecouverte]

Love your videos thank you so much for sharing ♥️

[@beadladee]

Super stoked to see another video! This soap is gorgeous!

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

I’m so glad ur back! U were missed. How much snow did I get? I’m in upstate NY but I’m up the mountain in the southern Catskills and it snowed but it didn’t accumulate. But it’s in the 30’s now so I can’t wait for the snow. In the winter it smells like cedar,pine and walnut trees with that clean crisp snow mixed in and if u live anywhere that u have mountains w cold winters and snow u know exactly what I mean. My favorite part of the snow is when it snows at night and I open my window and all u can hear is the snow falling onto the snow onto the snow already on the ground, but my favorite part is just when the sun starts to come up. Everything looks blue like a painting of a blue blanket laid on top of the snow and it’s so quiet that u can hear the quiet. That’s my favorite part.

[@brandinelson9869]

Love the view we get to see so beautiful

[@cliviascreations]

Holly, the more you show us the design, the more I see how they resemble what we see through your window. It’s like a copy picture of your background( of course not as white like your ground is now covered by the snow) but still. And you always get the best swirls with thick batters.

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

It’s so pretty!! It looks like your window’s view behind ya!! Hugz, Tree

[@CheyenneRose]

Thank you for leaving in the log splitting, Holly! 🧡🧡 These are SOOOO pretty! I love how perfectly the greens blended!

[@Emily-sv4bp]

Whatever you do with your new space please keep filming in front of that window for whatever reason watching that show behind you makes me all the way ready for Christmas and I'm assuming any other time is the year would be know different

[@gardellc2814]

Holly, I found a good trick for settling my soap without picking it up and smacking it down. I have a back massager that I set on the table and let it vibrate for a minute. Works great and saves your shoulders.

[@moriversoap]

That's a fun tip!

[@gabriela567]

Excellent! 🌲

[@ikindred]

Turned out great!

[@sherrymartindale8582]

Beautiful as always 🥰

[@jobeck7606]

I love the colors and especially the tops!!! They look like abstract trees!!! ❤

[@cindypierce4247]

Beautiful ❤

[@karendenbok3206]

Soaps are pretty.

[@hummingbirdsoapstudiobim9630]

Enjoying this❤❤❤❤ from my desk here in Barbados

[@tanyabonnett7787]

Just like riding a bike, youve definitely not forgotten how to make beautiful soap even though youve been gone for a year.

[@ashley-cz1sl]

I am so glad you are back making soaps. Your soaps are the best. Can't wait to get them.

[@FranklyNaturalBeauty]

I love that you’re back ! This soap looks beautiful! Love the colors ❤

[@kezru1581]

Beautiful ❤️❤️

[@katrinarobb413]

Love seeing you back making soap! I bet it's nice being back in your happy place.

[@lisaburns2117]

So happy to see you back!

[@lball9975]

The colors are gorgeous!

[@Imaheretovisit]

So beautifully done.

[@tammywillgohs5514]

So glad you are making soap again!

[@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372]

This turned out so neat! It kind of looks like the trees 🌲

[@valeriegriffith3415]

I an si glad you are naming soap again, but are we ever going to see you film with an over head camera, I love seeing the process from that view 😊😊😊

[@moriversoap]

Thanks! I don't have the set up for over head. I had a rail system back in Missouri and here I only have a tripod.

[@kristalburns3490]

This batch has a very cool look to it. Dont worry about your set up. You will get it worked out. A new space is always a bit of a challenge to work the details out.

[@ivonvalle2683]

Just beautiful

[@metalkingtohorses]

soap making looks so enjoyable

[@Grannyplans]

Can’t wait until you open your shop. New follower. ❤

[@rhondam883]

Love it❤

[@margaretmelendez8203]

Gorgeous soap and I saw how close you got to the sides when pouring high, I had to stop eating my dinner to watch the whole thing.......the suspense oh my. I wanted to go run and make soap then and there.

[@sarahconklin1256]

Beautiful❣️

[@dianaburch69]

Oh wow, is this a fun new variety? Can’t wait to get some!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Diana! Yes, this is a new scent and I'm loving it. It is curing well.

[@lifewithamberb]

I love that you’re back and this soap turned out so cute! Gonna use this technique. I’ve been avoiding doing balsam because I know it is gonna accelerate 😬

[@debyoakwitch]

💚💚💚

[@victoriaaranciiba8688]

Hermoso 🎉

[@ellenmayhan2211]

your property reminds me of my familys property in Montana! great soap!

[@stvalday74]

The intro to this video reminded of Virgin River

[@itsmebaby3d4dhd35]

Heyyyy Sista! Love it

[@TessieDobey]

We moved back to my husband's home state of Wyoming. Just so different from Philadelphia and Nantucket.

[@moriversoap]

That's awesome. I love Wyoming. My family is from the SE corner.

[@melindaduncan3073]

I started making soap again and boy was I rusty!

[@superlibbyanne]

Those goggles are “styling”😂 ❤️🌷

[@moriversoap]

They drive me bonkers. LOL I bought some white ones but they aren't going to change much. 😂

[@tassiegirl1991]

Great Holly you managed the acceleration well. Can I ask as your studio is rather cool inside did you wrap your soap for 24hours? I can’t wait to re start making but maybe after Christmas after our sojourn over seas for five months. Just wish I had a beautiful studio like yours. I’m still in our small open plan kitchen but great view over the river here.

[@moriversoap]

It sounds like you have been on an adventure! These soaps gelled fine with just a plastic tray inverted over the top.

[@sirspark-a-lot8782]

They look great. Holly, is there any way possible to thin the base color before pouring to make it thinner? Thanks

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I definitely can work around it next time. I used a decent water discount so I would increase the water in the lye solution next time.

[@leahyde463]

Hello Holly, I’m really excited to see you back. I have a few questions to ask you one question is I’m wondering if you’re going to be making your coffee soap and your coffee scrub in other products that goes along with the coffee products because that’s my mom‘s favorite and I’m wanting to get some Products from you if you’re making some coffee products My second question is, can you make any soap product without witch hazel because I’m allergic to it and I can’t buy your soap with witch hazel and I was wondering if you’re gonna be making anything in pomegranates thanks Holly it’s really good to see you hon can’t wait for the next video

[@moriversoap]

Hi Leah, I do plan on making the coffee soap soon and some scrubs to go with it. That will be ready early next year most likely. The scrubs might appear sooner. We'll see. As far as witch hazel, I don't put that in my soap but it is something that may pop up in other products. No plans for pomegranate scents this year. Thanks!

[@Marie-4Him]

These are lovely, Holly, and I even think I can smell them. Mmmmm yum

[@guadalupefernandez1161]

hola holly lo siento por lo de ti enfermedad todo esta bien ten mucha en fe en Dios

[@sarahcook9935]

Hey! Holly, are you going to be selling those sample gift boxes again this season? Thanks as ever. X❤

[@moriversoap]

I have some ideas but not quite sure how it will look yet. This year is just whatever I can get accomplished in time.

[@ivonvalle2683]

Hi Holly, do you discount the water, for using the coconut milk.

[@moriversoap]

I sure do!

[@delagrasa]

Hello, Holly...! Thank you for all your videos. Can i ask you for the dimensions of your soap bar, cause i love it. Not square, not thin&tall... Thanks from Andalucía, Spain

[@moriversoap]

Hello! Thank you for watching! I cut my loaves at 2.5 inches wide and they are 3.25-3.5 inches tall. Each bar is cut at 1 inch. I do think it's the perfect size! Though...I used to cut the bars at 1.25 inches wide and I did quite like those too.

[@kevingriffith2019]

Where did you get your cutters from?

[@moriversoap]

My bar cutters are from Bud's Wood Shop on Etsy. The loaf splitter is from Smith Creek Studio but at last check they weren't making them anymore. Be sure to check out the video description for more.

[@JazzyMamaInAK]

How many full bars do you get with your mold?

[@moriversoap]

I get 68 bars with this new mold.

[@user-ru1cd6to5n]

I suggest her to learn how to cook at high altitude first, it does make a difference

[@moriversoap]

We aren't considered high altitude here. We are close but not under those parameters.

[@user-ru1cd6to5n]

You are compared to Missouri
