Tammy..you crack me up! I love that you include when things don't go as planned. It makes me feel like I am not alone! I love how it turned out. I would have never thought to add blue and black ( I just ordered that Mad Mica blue..so pretty!) Have a great weekend and thanks again~ ~ Michele

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks so much Michele! I actually think I am going to be getting a bigger jar of that Twilight. Such a pretty color! thank you so much for watching and commenting! 💞

[@AndiNewtonian]

Those turned out great! I love the swirls. It almost looks like marble in some of the bars. The beer going everywhere when you stick blended it made me think of the story you told about your dad. Maybe he's getting back at you for shaking up his beer when you were a kid! 😄🥰

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

oh Andi! Your comment seriously had me laughing out loud! You are most certainly correct 😂 I will never be able to make a soap with beer again without thinking of you, my dad and this silly mistake 😆💞

[@marlenellewellyn9987]

I just made a wine soap for the first time. I had no idea white wine would turn red with the lye. Changed my design completely, but got it done!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

oh yes! The last time I made soap with wine it turned all of my colors into a fall vibe - I ended up loving it so much and was bummed that I knew I could never recreate those colors LOL I hope yours turned out ok too! 🤗

[@carolynpalano9284]

I open the beer pour it in a bowl and leave it out for couple of days, I've never frozen it. Also I switched to water soluable TD and it's sooooo much easier and dissolves completely in the 💧 ❤

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Hey Carolyn! 💖The last time I made soap with beer I do remember just putting it in a pitcher in the fridge for a few days but I also remember stick blending it on and off in that time. I think I read to do that from The Soap Queen. I now know not to mess with it - thanks! I also didn't freeze it back then but now that I have a dedicated fridge I find I am freezing my water so much more often I just froze the beer too. the TD is interesting - I can't honestly remember if I have tried water soluble - I think I have always used water or oil soluble TD. I could not get that to mix well with water. I would heat my water and it would mix better but still not great. Do you premix it like I do and keep it in a container?

[@carolynpalano9284]

@WalnutCreekBathBoutique I happened to get a jar in a destash and I'll never go back to oil soluable. Yes you can premix and keep it in a bottle, but I just do it as needed, it dissolves in water so fast it's crazy! It's from Nuture soap.The water will evaporate out of the mix over time so I would put some cello or something over the opening in a squirter bottle, this happened in a small bowl I had made but you just add a little water and it's good to go.

[@MommininMillstown]

Those turned out soooo great! I absolutely love watching your videos! You remind me so much of myself 🤣 I swear we are kindred spirits! Keep up the great videos:)

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thank you so much!! That is so sweet! 💖🤗

[@ReligiousReflections-pk2tz]

It is beautiful. It looks like a snowy mountain scene.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

thank you! I just love it so much 🤗

[@melissapeterson4202]

Gorgeous swirls! You handled that ricing and acceleration well! I was really worried for ya for a second LOL came out beautiful ❤️

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thank you so much Melissa!! 💞Actually I was a little worried for me too! 😂😂😂

[@MommaJ]

I love twilight it is such a gorgeous blue. Think the colors turned out beautiful ❤

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks! Yeah, I was thinking when I was editing this that dang - twilight is a great color!! I'm going to have to put that on my list. I have never actually ordered directly from them before. Any other favorites of yours, I'm all ears. Although I have too many as it is 😆😍

[@marylinda5474]

Beautiful soap!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thank you! 🤗

[@bonnafide2606]

Beer soap. That's my "Never Have I Ever." 😂 The soap looks like marble! Good job!❤

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks Wendy! Well if you do your Never Have I Ever send me a pic so I can see it!!! 💖

[@lyndawest8612]

Thanks for persevering. The soap did turn out beautifully. Your use of the glass rod made the difference. I was surprised how far down into the soap you were able to get the color Nice save!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thank you very much! I really didn't expect much from the swirl! Just goes to show...LOL💞

[@beckyf5507]

Hey Tammy!!! I love the colors!! Blue is my favorite color!!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Hi Becky! I don't have a favorite color but blue is probably in my top 3. Maybe from living with my husband all these years LOL - it is his favorite too.💞

[@norawalsh5471]

The soap came out so pretty!! I have yet to try a beer soap... I'm thinking maybe this summer I will give it a shot.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

oh for sure you should Nora! It is a great marketing tool - people love those additions! I should really do more stuff like that LOL

[@debwalters6348]

When you said Barber Shop and beer, I thought “Uh Oh😳: ricing and acceleration! 😱 You managed so well!!! ❤

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks Sweet Deb! I don't know why I didn't check the website before making this soap. And I could not remember if beer sped up trace. I feel pretty lucky it all went well with my standard "just go with it" mentality 😂

[@alexballinger]

Hi Tammy! Wow, these look like they are marbled, super sleek.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks!! I'm glad you liked them! 😃

[@dln1969]

I use A LOT of MWFC oils - they smell amazing. But the majority of them do tend to act up in soap. I've always added my fragrance at the very end after coloring and just before I pour and that seems to help.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

yeah, I have noticed when buying from them I really have to pay attention to the info on the page. The usage ratings are often very low, and A LOT of them do not behave in soap. Some scents I really like and some I just don't at all. So they are a hit and miss for me anymore. I've actually started using more Flaming Candle's scents than ever before and have been pretty happy with them.

[@3baashandmadesoaps937]

I think it turned out really good. I love the colors.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks Chenelle! 💖

[@Kmia0206]

I love it and I think the top made it even more interesting.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

I think so too, well in the end anyway! 😆 thanks for watching 💞

[@cliviascreations]

Omg, it looks like marble to me and I LOVE IT. It’s so pretty. Glad you decided to keep it like that. It’s handmade Tammy. That is the beauty. Anyhow I will share with you shampoo bars my beer disaster, lol, but it’s always like that for me due to all the additivesI put in( honey, clays, milk, etc. Talking about the fragrance, the Barber shop accelerated on me as well.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Hey Clivia! I watched the video you sent me! Thanks for sharing - we are no alone are we LOL It looked like you got them in the molds ok - was that an egg I saw??? I put beer powder in one of my shampoo bars, I never even considered actual beer though. You are just awesome! 😍😍😍

[@cliviascreations]

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique yes, an egg yolk

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

@@cliviascreations 🤯🥰

[@CL-kn1rq]

Call it blue stratos with beer and sell it, I don't know a man who wouldn't buy it. Well done Tammy ❤

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks so much! 🤗💞

[@happybrushchely7170]

❤❤❤I love everything about it.the top is very manly.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks! I have decided to embrace the tops - you are right, manly is a good description! 😍

[@BubblesByHeather]

I love that blue! 🍻 cheers 😉

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

hi Heather! Yep I do too, going to be getting a bigger jar soon!💕

[@claireedwards3367]

Hi thank you sharing the soap looks great. what size is your soap bars because they look very big

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

why thank you very much!! My soaps are right around 5 oz. 2.5" wide, 3 or so inches tall and 1" deep.

[@corrylloyd6593]

Very pretty! ❤❤❤

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

thank you Corry! 💞💞💞

[@cheryl739]

I like this soap. It's very masculine. I don't like planing my soap, either. In fact, I think my planer has fossilized. 😂 They may find it after I have gone to crafters heaven. 😅 I actually think it wastes too much soap. 😉 I think your soap is great just like it is. But won't be getting that Barber Shop, try to stay away from accelerating fragrances because of my recipe. So glad I watched this. Cheers 👍💕🤗

[@cheryl739]

Tammy, I am one of those folks that open my beer and pour it into a container stirring every once in a while and I have no carbonation left. You know how carbonation in a open drink dissipates and your soda becomes flat. During my 36 years in a brewery, becoming a master maltster, I worked in the Lab for 2 months, learning all about yeast, carbonation, etc., down to the very chemistry of Malt and Beer. It will take 1 to 2 days for carbonation reduction. I just don't feel like dealing with the ice and lye. Thanks for sharing. 🍺

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks for sharing that Cheryl!! That is so interesting, you being a master maltster. Fun Fact 🤗 I usually do not heat my beer when using for soap, I pretty much do what you do (well as far as my memory allows me to say LOL) but I do remember stick blending off and on during the 2-3 days I had it in the fridge to help that along. So I guess that is totally unnecessary - thank you so much for letting me know! I also don't think I made it ice last time. I think I was just a bit nervous because it had been so many years 🤓 I never felt like dealing with ice either, until I got a dedicated fridge - now I am able to easily just keep a couple of trays going of distilled water. I think I like doing it that way just for the quicker cool down.

[@belindaayewoh437]

Looks lovely. Maybe you can super glue handles on side of box?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

thanks! And thank you for the idea, but this is a 10 pound batch, I would be too nervous that the glue would fail and I would have a mess on my hands. Also I need at least one side to come up to get the soap out easily. Thanks for watching!! 😍

[@belindaayewoh437]

@WalnutCreekBathBoutique On the sides that don't remove, you could use screws on the inside of the wooden box that drill into a wooden handle. Together with glue and screws, should be able to support the weight.

[@DuchessArtisanCreations]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the beer 😂😂

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

LOL - RIGHT?!?!? I. Will. Never. Learn!!! 😆

[@MsAubrey]

I loved making my oatmeal stout soap, but man oh man it got HOT! I filled my kitchen sink with ice and cold water to prevent a volcano.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

oh wow Aubrey! Did it turn out ok? Sounds lovely!😍

[@MsAubrey]

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique it did. I was surprised. It was my first beer soap.

[@DuchessArtisanCreations]

Hi where did you get the stopper for the cutter from?

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

hello!! The cutter is from Custom Craft Tools, the stopper is from Lisa at I Dream In Soap. I don't believe she sells them yet though. Thanks for watching!!

[@DuchessArtisanCreations]

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique I love Lisa in I Dream of Soap her ghost swirl is so pretty.

[@DuchessArtisanCreations]

I love your curls.😻😻

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

aw, thank you so much!!! I am considering cutting it short again...I just can't make up my mind LOL🤔

[@DuchessArtisanCreations]

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique Just be prepared when it comes to shrinkage which is real 😭😭. I have curly hair and did a big chop on my hair channel. All I can say I made a huge mistake, and caused me to go into such a horrible deep depression because of my haircut. It took over a year to have my hair grow back now it's past my shoulders😁😁. My secret to hair growth leave the hair aloneeeeeee. There are times that I don't wash for 2 or 3 weeks and it's growing. I am thinking of doing a comeback for my hair channel, but the curly hair community is so picky. If you don't have thick type 3 curly not a lot of people will watch. On top of that, you have to constantly buy hair products which I have no room for all the products.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

I watch a few curly hair channels off and on - let me know your channel so I can watch some of your videos! I am very much a girl that has always grown out my hair just to chop it off - yep, just to grow it out again. I have done that all my life so it really doesn't bother me too much to chop it. I'm sorry you had such a hard time with yours! You have me beat on the washing - I go 7-8 days with a deep conditioner every time. And BTW - I used to watch a "wavy" hair channel too - I just don't have time to watch like I used to so I can't get to them. It isn't that I don't want to watch wavy hair channels. There are a lot of wavy, type 2 and so one curls out there that would probably love it. I wish there was more out there for greys! LOL

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

🤗thanks for watching!!!

[@BeechHillSoap]

Do you have one set recipe you use Tammy? I don’t, and I think it would be easier to do so? I have so many people who like the different batches of soap. I too have dropped my palm kernel oil recently but I really liked it. I think I could keep soap in stock if it wasn’t for the many different recipes.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

well, normally yes I do have just one standard recipe. I will obviously add different liquids or extras but the base oils are the same. When I first started, even in the first 2-3 years I was all over the place, trying all the different recipes I could get my hands on. Then I realized that the space for all of those oils was an issue. More than that was the labeling - labeling is soo dang hard when you can't just reuse one over and over. Maybe your customers will be ok if your base recipe is the same but you add different and fun extras 🤔💖

[@MsAubrey]

It looks great! As soon as you poured the FO, I cringed a little. I was worried for you. But it turned out beautiful.

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

Thanks Aubrey! I was worried for me too LOL😆😍

[@paulalynrider4009]

I liked the top! This is a man soap right? I think men will like the top too!

[@WalnutCreekBathBoutique]

nice point Paula! Thank you, maybe I will embrace it now 🤗💖
