Just sending you a simple thank you for all you teach us!

[@gigibearplays]

i second this!!!

[@cinder8290]

There’s just one problem with watching a soap making video, I can’t smell them! 😂 Your little soap kitchen must smell divine ❤ A lot of work goes into it! I’m impressed with everything you do.

You're awesome, Mary. Thank you for giving us another insider look at the wonderful items you make.❤

[@SheilaE1953]

I have a whole new appreciation for handmade soaps after watching your video. I never realized how many steps were involved and yours turned out amazing! I can just imagine how wonderful they must smell ❤

[@angelahagood3639]

I’m with you on that comment!

Hearing you say that you like to have several things going at once makes me think of you being in a circus and having all those plates spinning on top of sticks! I bet you could keep a bunch going!👏 You’ve come so far since watching your first soap making video! The names of those soaps sound as amazing as they must smell! So creative! Chocolate covered strawberry! I’m dying here!!!😍👍 It’s always a good day when Mary’s making soap!🧼

[@bonzojenks303]

I love your soap. My husband loves it. I just ordered more. My favorite is the lavender and it sells out so fast.

[@sandracross340]

You are fabulous!! Thank you for being you!

[@luanaalicea-krigin6607]

I will start by saying that I am not a soap maker…yet! I’ve been watching a lot of videos to learn and have seen other makers use 99% alcohol sprayed on the tops of the soap after pouring to help prevent soda ash. Thought it was worth mentioning if you want to give it a try. Thanks for the great video!

[@lamarshrock878]

Yes to this! I always spray alcohol on top. Usually almost right away and then I spray a couple more times in the first hour or so. I seldom have ash. ~Marita

[@Soul.7]

Also you can steam the tops of the loafs that have the soda ash after saponification. When about to release from the mould, instead steam the whole top surface area and leave to dry for a few hours. I often do it at night so I remove a dry loaf in the morning, then cut. Leaves a shining brighter colouring and milky ash gone. Bought myself a tiny steamer jug kettle on Amazon dedicated to shiny bright soda free textured tops. LOVE THIS VIDEO, inspiring, and a great promoter of the beauty and value of handmade soaps. When I want to go into a calm space free of the worldly chaos, I turn inward and either make soap, meditate or read life-affirming books. Bless ya. 🍓

[@patriciaskitch2341]

KEEP CALM AND MAKE SOAP! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial on soap making Mary!

[@gailbowman7519]

Absolutely amazing artistry, craftsmanship, & attention to detail!

[@SheilaDawdy]

Oohhh! I can’t wait to see the sample pack and how much they will be! I would love that!

[@pattimyers1779]

I love your Music City, Tn shirt. I was born and raised in Nashville. One of the few around any more. I hope to be able to visit your city one day. My husband and I love to visit smaller towns and cities. Thank you for the soap tutorial. I think they all turned out beautiful. Love your channel.

[@denises9426]

What beautiful soaps. 🧼

[@sgodbout2213]

How generous you are to share your recipe. I love the labels, especially for the round bars. I can see why you enjoy making them.

[@vickihanson319]

Enjoyed watching. Thank you Mary. Have a good day.

[@reginaneufeld1092]

I have always wanted to see soap being made.... thank-you!

[@sjohns20680]

I have tried a lot of handmade soaps but yours are by FAR my favorite and nothing else even comes close. I'll be watching your shop so I can pounce on some of your new fragrances. I am so hooked on your Lemongrass that I need to always have one bar of that in my shower along with a new one.

[@jenscloset]

That grass soap looks so cool!!

[@kristencurry3715]

HI Mary! Have you thought about making soap on a rope? It is difficult to find these days..I remember EVERY Christmas my Dad would request soap on a rope. He liked that it wouldnt slip out of his hand, and it didnt get soggy sitting in a soap dish. Your soaps are beautiful and Im sure they smell even better than they look. Thankyou for sharing your talents😊❤

[@robinsutton4952]

First soap making video I’ve watched. My grandmother made all our soap (yes using lye). I didn’t know what store bought soap was until my grandma died in 1970. I’m going on 68 and realize that my younger years were spent caught up in modernization. Now that I’m retired some of the old days are coming back into my life.

[@boop7313]

Hi Robin, just reading your comment as a soap maker myself (self taught during lock down) , you should try it out for yourself. It's such a brilliant thing to learn because once you learn it, it's for a lifetime and one bonus is you can make the best soaps & gifts ever, all by your own design. Once you use handmade soap again your skin will hardly ever need moisturiser lol.

[@brigidlaffey7343]

@@boop7313- yes, totally agree, provided one uses truly natural ingredients and not their toxic counterparts as so many soap makers do here on YT.

[@kmarch6630]

I bet the grass scent would smell good with lavender mixed in. I really like the round shape too.

[@lorraineearle5967]

Mary, I think your grass soap is a winner...very realistic! Love your videos! ❤

[@deanadailey7197]

Your strawberry idea was a good one but I immediately thought watermelon slices for summer!

[@debraandersen6895]

I'm so sorry to hear that someone is saying bad things. I have watched you for a long time and have never seen any of what they're saying. Please keep on doing what you're doing! Some people have to be so unhappy that they can't stand when others are happy, so they try to take them down instead of building them up. Love your videos and A drill and a dream. You're a great family .

[@debraandersen6895]

That was for another u tuber. Sorry !

[@reflections516]

If you didn't mean your text for Mary. Then delete it. Go to edit and delete it. Don't leave this on Mary's comments

[@Nita-x7k]

​@@reflections516 I agree!

[@blk123]

Green is my favourite colour so I love those, the black and white ones are also cool looking. Also love the new labels.

[@claudiamann7111]

The soaps turned out fabulous. Love all the different scents. I like using the coffee filters to wrap the round ones. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@patriciakumar115]

Yes! I love Lily of the Valley scent and the flower!

[@janeevans4758]

All that soap ❤ I can imagine the beautiful smell that must be swirling around your home ... delightful. The strawberry 🍓 soap could be also a watermelon 🍉 one 😊 they all look fabulous to me. We'll done Mary.

[@sonyarice2653]

Thank you Mary for this video making your soaps! You are so inspiring & creative. Your soaps turned out beautifully!❤

[@deannabridges6068]

If you use a small handheld clothing steamer on your soaps that have soda ash on them the soda ash disappears and you have nice shiny soap. I do this about a week before they are fully cured. I never really worry about soda ash because this method works wonderfully. Thank you for the wonderful video. Makes me want to get back to work making soaps again. Hugs to you and yours.

[@lindatimmons7162]

This was amazing to watch Mary. So relaxing and so professional. Thank you.

[@tildars]

You looking lovely Mary. Thanks for taking us through soap making

[@deniseprivette3432]

I wanna make soap now! I love your Nashville shirt! That's where I'm from! We share a love of classic country music. That's why I'm here! My dad moved here to pursue music and met my mom! We live 30 minutes west of Nashville now. - Your biggest fan from TN Love you Mary Everyone in my life knows your name now! I'm like, "You need to watch Mary!"

[@jeannieglidewellheil9115]

Beautiful soaps and I am sure they smell wonderful!

[@barbarapark2267]

Love the grass soap! I will watch for it in your etsy shop!

[@KathyBest-td4mq]

Loved the use of the coffee filters. Loving your show.

[@SimplyBlessedDesignz]

Loved this video. I have always wanted to try to make my own soap. I am so glad I saw that you had restocked the Lily of the Valley and others at the beginning of the week and totally grabbed several. Thank you so much for all you do! You are truly an inspiration.

[@susanhaddan4633]

Loved watching you make the soap - it is relaxing to watch, I agree!

[@m.m9136]

I absolutely love your soap space and the outside view is stunning! 😍

[@HoneyschildTV]

You are my spirit sister

[@connietowler3725]

All the soaps are so pretty. This was very interesting to watch. Thank you

[@tinasalobecke66]

It is so relaxing to watch your soap making videos! They all look so pretty, wish we could smell them! 😁🌷

[@karencampbell9770]

Your attention to detail is amazing. I’ve purchased your soaps before. They are awesome.

[@carleneletren1364]

Truly amazing. The finished product looks excellent

[@freddiepittman5409]

You have the perfect place to hold classes for your candle, soaps and signs. my sister and I are planning a trip to Amish country. You inspire me to be a blessing with all that you do. I have sold my business of Event planning 2 years ago, but I am wanting to still have an income so that I can give and share. We are in our 70's never to late is my motto.

[@cbenji2]

You are so creative, on the chocolate covered strawberries maybe skip the green and just a thin sheen of chocolate and a small drizzle of white. I love the idea and ai bet it smells amazing. I have loved all the scents I have bought from you. Also an idea for spring, grow loofahs and add those to your line as a package with the soap.

[@merrycleek8209]

They all turned out beautiful!❤

[@joytomasevic9679]

soap making is my happy place, nice to see that you enjoy it as well; beautiful creations. I find spritzing my batch with 99% rubbing alcohol after I've finished swirling the top helps eliminate most of the soda ash.

[@yzolakitchi]

🥰Wow - wish we had smell-a-vision ! I think your strawberries came out pretty good for a first attempt - they put me in mind of Christmas Puddings too 🎄 - could be a great seasonal round-shaped soap to make with a small tweak of the colours and a fruity/spicy scent! I love your workspace, and yes - an organised space is a productive one 🙂

[@Sandy-gj1wk]

Your soap turned out great love the grass soap. Great job.

[@carolinedubose5136]

Lovely seeing all of your soap stacked on the metal counter!! Just wish there was smell o vision!!

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I enjoyed watching the soap making! I make soap as gifts and I love making it too. So far, I haven't tried any swirls or colors. Your soap-making kitchen is amazing!! What a great set up! Thanks for sharing your process. I will give your recipe a try!

[@annroberts5965]

They look wonderful Mary, Lilac is probably my very favorite sent. I noticed yesterday that my lilac brush is blooming. I couldn’t help but stop the car as I was turning into the driveway to hop out and smell the wonderful blooms. They smelled so good. You have the perfect area to make soap. Someday I may try the process myself. Thank for doing this video. Ann from Va.

[@reflections516]

Thank you for sharing . I find your videos so peaceful and motivating. God bless, Susan

Awesome, I usually make one at a time, but if I just work with one formula, I can do 3 to 4. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@WatersandWilderness]

Such care and love that you put into creating soaps and then showing us how you do it. Thank you, Mary. P.S. Give Pebbles and Twinkles the big squeeze for me... they look like they could take some love from those who follow your channel.

Mesmerizing video… it must be so incredibly satisfying to stand back and look at a days achievements. Loved the video 💜

[@larraineotoole1522]

I find your soap making videos so calming thank you Mary x

[@TiffanyMaschek]

Ive been dabbling in soap making off snd on for a few years. I was origionally trying to figure out how to work with bees wax and shea butters but that didnt turn out as well as i hoped. I made some shower melts that make your shower smell amazing and it melts down the drain. But now im getting into actual soap making. I love the melt and pour method. They came out with a clear soap that you melt and you add your own ingredients and fregrance to it and its so easy to cut. It melts in about 20 seconds in the microwave and i dont believe lye is in it but im not sure. But all the hard stuff is already done and you measusure out your own ingredients and you can use the same stuff to make shampoo bars as well. Im super excited about that.

[@crystalwaldrep5775]

Me and my mom use a little steamer for the ash, set the bar on its side, and steam it. It works great😊

[@memesfarmhousedesigns9254]

I love your soaping videos! Thank You for bringing me along!!

[@sheriebumgarner7065]

Your Grass soap really did look like grass! My fave was Citrus Grove. Love that color.

[@AnnMarie-ck2vb]

Oh my gosh! Just beautiful! My very favorite is the green grass. I want to try this so much! I’m very afraid to mess it up. I’m still not very good at this. I wish we were neighbors so I could just have you babysit me while trying this… I end up getting nervous and messing up. Ugh. 😂

[@GardenGrammie28]

My 3 year old grandson was watching the Utube with me . He said oh it smells good !!! lol can't wait to order some!!!

[@goodvolks2know372]

In the end when you see them all labeled and standing side by side - it's got to feel so good, knowing that you made all that. I do have a question: when you use these kinds of soaps, what is the best display type of dish to use. Should it be slotted or wood or a rack? Thanks

[@mistyrosemarie]

Soap looks great. For the strawberry soap you could try embeds. Bramble berry sells the berry embeds. Would be so cute, and fun to try!
