[@littleladyblack8782]

This was a great light-hearted video! Even the silly mishaps made it great! Glad to see you creating your beautiful products again!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you! I’ve been feeling much better these days!

[@ronmiller7248]

Ok, 2 soap questions. In my life(maybe I'm sheltered) i have only seen rectangle bars and the little cute bars with some type of image on them. Here i see these monster size bars that are rectangular on 3 sides going up to a point but definately not rectangular. How does someone actually use them, they seem difficult you use in the shower. And second, bath bombs, huge round bars? I feel like i missed a decade. I'm watching these vids because with the economy tanking, i figured soap may be hard to get so thought I'd learn how to make soap for the family.

[@michelefreitas4762]

The swirl on some of those soap bars looked like rose buds. Gorgeous!

[@Sandy-gj1wk]

Ellen Ruth uses a gear tie in a lot of her soap videos you can watch how she does it she gets some amazing swirls just and idea for u to see how its usedyour soap turnes out great

[@TheSoapChef]

I know I've said this before but........We watch ALOT of travel/van lifers/cooking channels and lately, your content is giving me those vibes............and I dig it!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Those are the exact vibes I’m going for!!! ❤

[@sl4983]

Regular and fancier grocery stores in my area, carry nice soaps with lavender buds IN the soap and another with rosebuds IN the soap. There are other varieties also. They are browned a bit but it gives it a really natural look actually. Some ocd soapers might call them "molded" but apparently every grocery store , high end or not, would beg to differ. I think botanicals in soap are charming.

[@sl4983]

May I ask how you sold the Scrubs? Was it on Etsy? Or where?

[@pamhogge8458]

Rose Gold is No.1 seller of all my products.

[@hazelboyce7230]

Gear ties are sold on Amazon.

[@cliviascreations]

I ordered love spell for the first time and I don’t like it. Made lotion,hate it. Didn’t even try to make anything else. I don’t know if I got a wrong bottle or what because I know many people love it. I just can’t. On the other side I got my swirl gear from Walmart . Was a package of two under $2.00. Beautiful candle and soap.Also my rose quartz ( Brambleberry) sugar scrub is one of my best sellers after coffee and OMH

[@bubbleshempproducts8372]

Hi Jerikka. Wow your new place looks amazing and your products even more so.

[@brigitasehgal2937]

I thought you packed your soap studio too fast. Maybe your house will sell faster with beautiful scents lingering around.🥰

[@marykaywagner834]

Hi there-good to see you in great spirits! We are listing our home in MN to make our move to TX so I can relate to your experience. You are a rock star! Wondering if you have thought about using the using the honeycomb paper for your candle wrapping? It is so compact on the role and seems to have served me well...and it will match your kraft color crinkle! Take care.

[@Angelica-xh5zw]

Hey Jerika! That note shows up when you're going to purchase the label off Etsy, so if you're using another site for labels unfortunately you wouldn't be able to see it

[@ram1brn]

you should be careful about playing music on your videos you could end up with a strike dont matter if it is radio , tv , etc

[@jobo8819]

Hello lovely. Yes springtime for you over there, enjoy it, such a special season. Good to see and hear your lightheartedness and just taking things in your stride. Your soap and candles look gorgeous. 🙃😉😊

[@greenbarn2213]

Have you ever double wicked those jars Jericka?

[@donnahayes7375]

I absolutely love rose gold. My biggest seller in body butters

[@karolmackenzie]

I love your videos and I hope that you and Cale can be together next month. You've been working hard with trying to sell your house and the animals and your candle business. Have a wonderful weekend

[@glenelkenfarm5577]

Anyone else see a rose on the first few bars??

[@spottedbearknits3824]

Yes, she said it was listed below, but it is not

[@sherriemartin6202]

That is one beautiful soap bar. You did a good swirl for the first time.

[@diatoney6702]

Hi Jerika! Will your online store be back up once you settle in the states?

[@zoey4205]

I am so excited because I love when you create new things. The candle came out beautifully. Can't wait to see what you make next!😀😁

[@dianariggs8604]

Reminds me of neopolitan ice cream.😀

[@crazywowable]

Lovely update, looking forward to next week 😊

[@BellaRayneJewelryCo]

I just received my Bramble Berry order while I was watching you here and I had to open it up and listen to you at the same time as I too bought some new fragrances. Guess what happened to me not 30 seconds after the part of your video where the plastic stopper popped off in your face. I was opening up the Tobacco and Bay Leaf FO (which is AMAZING !!!!) and the stopper popped off. I have a dozen fragrances here and this Tobacco and Bay Leaf as well as the Bergamot Black Tea....AND....Palo Santo and Mahogany.....WOW...I did grab more of the May Day - I think these four are my new FAB FOUR FRAGRANCES from BB. I did order from Kulig too...I think that order arrives next week. I am super excited. I have a YT channel for my jewelry making but thinking I need to share my fab finds too....although I am finding most of them because of you. But...if you need to place a BB order, GRAB these three scents...I know you have the May Day 🙂

[@Leecreates]

Ooooo I need to get your lilac sugar scrub. It sounds amazing! I’m praying for good news regarding the sale of your home. Fingers crossed.

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

For ur sugar scrubs n body butters instead of using electrical tape which especially in the winter can be sticky all over ur hands and cap. Get shrink bando. U can get them big enough to put the whole jar in and it’s covered from head to toe. The cap can’t come undone. They also have shrink bands for just the top of the jar. I’ve never ever had a product leak due to the shrink bands. Before the shrink bands that happen once n I started using shrink bands and they are really easy to open n use.

[@thejoneslounge]

Is the rose soap still available?

[@ErikaNicole-rq2og]

I don’t know if you’ve tried it before but Bramble Berry’s Rose Quartz smells even more like Love Spell than the Rose Gold.

[@sonnyqc]

Hello Jerika, I just found out your channel and I just absolutely adore it ! I am watching all your videos, thank you so much for such great infos :)

[@archersarrow3875]

I LOVE Rose Gold from Brambleberry. i made my very first soap using that fragrance- and you were the one who taught me how to do it! It's been all downhill from there, haha. It's a wonderful addiction- although my wallet may disagree :P Thank you for everything!

[@kellirodriguez4370]

I love to watch I am a candle maker and have been making melt and pour soaps … I have wanted to do soaps and was so nervous I made my first batch and I’m addicted 😂 But you have been one of my inspiration ❤

[@EcoJulie-vx6rx]

Love watching you make products, can’t wait to try your products one day. And can Dempsey stop being cute.

[@daricezdrazil7399]

Oh I feel your pain! Bringing everything into the kitchen to make product!

[@stephaniehouseham3816]

I'm so glad that you look better and that you are doing things that you enjoy. Was worried with the last video

[@The.soap.garden]

Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. Glad you got to make a batch of soap again.

[@China-Clay]

Girl, I soooo get this!♥️Soaping is our therapy!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

It really is!

[@consuela3214]

Beautiful soap and candle. Just the perfect combination

[@wildaromaco]

Beautiful Soaps and Gorgeous Candles!

[@kjtv4811]

[@tarafoster4292]

I love you!❤

[@sherryzimmerman9220]

Loved the Orchid ….just made the room POP as You walked through…….excellent experiment can’t wait to see how it takes…..plus Orchids would make high-end photo backgrounds for your products ie the candle……can’t wait for the hint of GREAT NEWS!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you!!! I love orchids so much . Hope they grow well in Washington 😊

[@msjithy]

I really wanted to try this business. Sadly, this type of business is not possible here in Germany. You need hundreds of certifications and there will be an inspection of your working area which should be not your house and have enough space and safety measure before you can do this business. All the best.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

That’s so sad! I definitely feel lucky that the regulations in Canada and US are much more relaxed.

[@createdbydreamcharon]

Yea and I LOVE MY Doll Face candle sooo much.

[@NaturalMackie]

That soap is really nice! Almost crossed the meat soap border but thankfully stopped short. 😂 I got my gear tie from Home Depot but Canadian Tire, Lowe’s, Rona, etc should have. I wouldn’t be surprised if the dollar store had it, they have everything or Amazon.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Awesome! Good to know 😊

[@janicewhitby6623]

It doesn’t look like sliced meat, it looked like swirled rose 😊

[@janetteders1731]

I hope you get a house and sell your other one soon

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Me too!! ❤

[@createdbydreamcharon]

The swirls in your soap came out soooo pretty!!!

[@rhondathorpe9701]

You are tempting me to add candles to my lineup

[@sl4983]

What are the names at the end of the vid?

[@sl4983]

How do I find your etsy shop?

[@kathy4950]

Great to hear you are still soaping! Kathy from Cali.😎

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Always!

[@lovereigns4017]

Jerika. You're an inspiration. You really are.❤ Iris

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Aw thank you! ❤

[@Terrilyn_Austen]

I use shrink wrap collars have you tried those?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yep! I don’t find them as secure as electric tape

[@CurvvyQueen]

I love Rose Gold FO from Bramble Berry. This soap is my #1 seller.

[@sl4983]

Where do you mostly sell your soaps?

[@CurvvyQueen]

@@sl4983 I have an online store and I also participate in Pop-up shops/markets.

[@sherriemartin6202]

It’s beautiful I wish I could smell it!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

They both smell awesome!

[@elizabethseebaugh3677]

Where do you find French vanilla lavender

[@JerikaZimmerman]

This one from Brambleberry smells lovely: www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-product/ingredients/fragrance-oils/black-amber-and-lavender-fragrance-oil/V000229.html#q=Lavender%2Bvanilla&lang=default&start=1
