I'm so grateful that I get to occasionally work with brands I actually like to create sponsored videos. Their direct support helps keep this channel afloat in the ever unstable world of KZbin ad revenue. These videos will always be disclosed, of course, and I appreciate everyone's kind support for these partnerships. Royalty Soaps also participates in commission or discount affiliations, like Amazon or RewardStyle, as these opportunities become available, like Amazon and RewardStyle and while the money we make with these links isn't much, every little bit counts and once again, we really appreciate your support! These products will always be marked and disclosed with a "✦".

[@perrydianaj83]

Katie didn't you teach you husband, your brothers, and your staff how to make soap? If you taught them, and they make the gorgeous soaps you sell, of course you're good enough to teach us! I think the value in you teaching us, is YOU. Because we love YOU. Hope that helps.

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Yes I did and girl, you just hyped me WAY up! lol I feel so empowered to just DO IT!

[@RoyaltySoaps]

🥰🥰🥰

[@navithecat1445]

She's right you can teach other ppl, if you wanted to

[@brandibastian4193]

I'm so sorry I accidentally hit dislike on this. I don't know if you saw the notification of it getting a dislike but then I fixed it. I meant to click like and my finger slipped. 😂 My cat is right next to me and she's known for headbutting my hand that is holding my phone but that is not what happened. She's actually just laying there.

[@amyno5688]

I agree! Your extra qualification is YOU! We are all here for you, Katie!

[@Nimbus91]

The middle wallpaper! The neutral one! Also, I would lighten the main yellow but the purple drizzle sounds exciting! Lavender and lemon is like one of my fav scents! So excited to see it as a part of this collection.

[@kathybutchart6895]

1. Yes, more tutorials-because we love your personality; 2. Yes, include a ''Washing up the Dishes'' tut-I haven't come across one previously and am concerned how to neutralize the lye container; 3. Lighten up the base yellow color to look closer to real lemonade, the more intense yellow reminds me of lemon slices; 4. The middle wall paper, this allows you to change up the color scheme in the room w/o clashing with the paper. Thank you for today's video, I needed it.

[@lenaevess]

The first wallpaper with the thistle is really pretty (also thistle is the national emblem of Scotland)! Also, I would add white to the purple so that the entire soap is more neutral :D

[@calid4720]

I think why people ask you for tutorials so much is because we enjoy your brand of teaching. The way you explain and give advice is enjoyable and helpful. 😊 also Mauer tone down the yellow just a bit 🍋

[@FairbrookWingates]

Katie, you're conscientious and honest, qualities not common in youtube instructors simply because too many are focused on making $ through the video. You think about your audience, what they want, what they need and what they have or can obtain. You're upfront with how you make things work, no trade secrets behind paywalls, and honest if something isn't worth it or isn't needed (material, technique, etc.). That makes you a worthy instructor.

[@Bune10756]

Kaite, think of it this way: They know that there are soap tutorials out there on KZbin, but they want YOU to teach them with YOUR tutoials!!!!

[@mindys1198]

Leave it bold! Go all in, add a gold mica line on top before frosting 🥰

[@dtulip1]

I like the sprout paper....I think the background yellow could come down a smidge to show off the yellow and purple swirl more 😍

[@savannamm]

My thing with teaching is that, yes, someone else may have put the material out, but that doesn't mean that everyone that watches it understands it. I taught myself to crochet through KZbin, and I could watch 5 different people teaching the same thing, but it only clicked with one of them

[@babbelbubbla]

Opinions on the wallpaper & soap Soap Yes, make the main yellow more pastell, then for the pour in yellow, can lean towards lime green/neon yellow for better contrast, also as you mentioned, some more purple on top to bring it more cohesive bar of soap. Wallpaper As someone else said option 1 wallpaper is very pretty; it's more bolder stand alone wallpaper. If you don't want to decorate too much with mirror or paintings/pictures frames the walls or surrounding... options number 2 is more neutral, as you said you can hang a mirror in front of it, would be more for if you want to decorate that room more... I'm also sorry to say didn't really care for wallpaper number 3.....

[@ababytaleportraits1103]

There are no videos that I can find that displays the recipe. How to measure the oils. Using FO OR EO. Adding mica vs clays. And how they behave or misbehave. How to create EO blends for specific outcomes. How to prepare the EO to hold its properties and scent. I see a HUGE value in this. And making a different bar a month. I would subscribe to this FOR SURE!!! A true follow along. Even if it costs.

[@ashmenon91]

The post cardy paper looks more like your type. It looks artsy and also clean.

[@WhoisAry]

I definitely notice a difference between my soap bars and their individual oil combinations. Especially shea butter makes a huge difference on my skin. But I use a much higher superfat than you do and i think when you use a lower superfat you wouldn't notice a difference at all. Soap making is so fascinating. :) And yes, a dish cleaning video would be cool!

[@EvilRubberDuckie]

Wallpaper #1 seems like a statement piece where you wouldn’t want to put up much decor on top of it Wallpaper #2 seems more neutral and I could easily see putting up shelves and picture frame with it as a background

[@katt17c]

Sometimes certain people will learn faster, easier, better from YOU then they would someone else. Personality types, entertainment style, teaching methods, wording of the teacher can all make a difference in how well something "sticks" for the student. (Also sometimes if they just LIKE you alot, they'll be able to listen/learn better from you). You have the ability to teach something in a way no one else would, because you're you.

[@katt17c]

I actually am a person who does NOT learn well from some people, but I can pick up the same material in 15 minutes from someone else presenting it differently.

[@megasourusrex]

i think if the main base color was a much lighter yellow- bordering uncolored- and then having a pastel yellow swirl inside with the purple would be beautiful! lemonade in real life is not a strong yellow so i feel this soap would capture that with lighter yellows!

[@angelazeigler2904]

Post cards is absolutely my pick!

[@viridian8258]

I think the soap is good as it came out the purple drizzle wout tie it really. The wallpaper I would take the middle

[@evilFarmin]

Definitely lighten the yellow. I think you should split the difference more between the accent yellow and the frosting white, and do more of a lemonade ice color.

[@amysrp5531]

I like the wallpaper on the left.

[@Bune10756]

ALSO, the postcard wallpaper

[@Mischiefx]

Can you make a sampler pack for all 6 simplicity soaps?

[@rosamondragon6071]

I think maybe a pale yellow and adding a dried lemon wedge??

[@mcgonagallrules]

Tone down the base yellow so the other yellow pops more in the swirl. Wallpaper number 1 would be my choice.

[@dustingrey6711]

Wallpaper; the first one is definitely YOU. But I like the middle one the best :)

[@nicoledominguez5475]

Wall paper #2 in the middle

[@pompe221]

Opinions! 1) Like some others have said, either lighten the "main" yellow color so the poured yellow is more distinct against it, OR change the poured yellow to a green for a more "plant" feel. 2) Wallpaper. Depends on what vibe you want. The first paper with the big botanical print is better if you want the walls to be their own statement and room accessory. The middle paper with the subtle pattern is better if you want to put a lot of accessories in the room and on the walls - it won't compete. The third paper - I'm just not a fan of. Sorry.

[@rosaliac.386]

I 100% agree with you. Being as unbiased as possible on the last one though, it would be somewhere in the middle. You could get away with hanging 1-2 small/medium, cool neutral items but getting them to line up right with the studs AND wallpaper would just be a pain.

[@libbybaker86]

Yes this is exactly what I was thinking on both counts

[@lisacallan5462]

Oooh a green would be so pretty and make sense with the eucalyptus

[@bjdefilippo447]

Agree on the wallpaper assessment.

[@jessicaderstine4061]

The wallpapers go down in greatness as the story progresses.

[@pauletteplatt8364]

I think you should lighten up the main yellow to get more contrast between the yellows and I like the idea of a purple drizzle on the frosting :)

[@tuesdaywithanh]

yeah i agree, keep the bright yellow how it is, and make the pale yellow even paler :)

[@aldrea6506]

I 3rd this suggestion! the bright yellow would look better if the main yellow "wasn't so yellow", lol

[@rokelle_2012]

I agree 100%

[@juliebaker6969]

Exactly what I said in MY comment.

[@olivarryflarrow4681]

I was about to say the exact same thing! The soap as-is is gorgeous but lightening the main yellow would add a bretter amount of contrast!

[@Luci_Darling]

Honestly, I feel proud that I became a soap maker. I have eczema, like you, and mine is triggered by cheep fragrance. So everyone who manufactures on a large scale, including lush, isn't an option. I needed to control what was in my soaps so I had to make my soap. I had absolutely no idea where to start; because how do you do research when you don't know what to ask. Then you came in and you where an absolute god send. When you made the academy, I cant tell you how much you saved me, my skin, and my sanity. You made it inexpensive and extremely easy, and every document you've attached, every website you've pointed out, and every product you buy you tell us where its from; has been extremely helpful and that has made all the difference in every bar I make and use. So I hope with every fiber of my being that you don't doubt any video you make will be not be useful, because they have been and I'm sure they will continue to be.

[@anabarber4337]

Gurl, absolutely please make whatever tutorials strike your fancy I will watch them and mimic your steps religiously. Anyone *could* teach me but I trust you, my mom trusts you. I used your videos to put together a big tote with the Royal academy checklist for mothers day after it came out and we loved it. We’ve made several batches since and have just been waiting to have a full weekend together to make more. You added a whole shared hobby to our relationship and I can’t thank you enough. We would definitely love more royal academy.

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Oh my gosh, I'm so humbled and you are way too kind! I might just take your advice and just go for it!

[@Kiterpuss]

Ngl I feel like "my mom trusts you" is an underrated compliment to give someone. Like, you know someone is genuine if mom says so.

[@ay4u1]

+

[@bethanyplatt4237]

You said it right there. ANYONE could teach how to make soap, but whether or not to trust them is another story. Katie's been making soap for ten years, runs a whole business, and has taught her family/employees the way to make soap. What seals the trust factor most for me though, is how adamant she is about safety.

[@DandiLion22]

You’ve said it yourself, there’s room for everyone in the soap making community. If you feel like you have knowledge to share, even if it’s just about cleaning soap dishes, then go ahead and make the tutorial! 🧡

[@ay4u1]

+

[@FirstNameJuju]

I think people appreciate your delivery and the way you teach, you're qualified! You're so positive and supportive, teach your audience.

[@nbarnes6225]

Definitely add a purple drizzle on top! It would help emphasize the purple swirl.

[@AmandaJ__]

Agreed. The top looks sickly in contrast with the yellow

[@battlecat6766]

Brambleberry might have some great tutorials but you are the only soap maker I watch, there’s a warmth and beauty to your soul 🖤✨💕🫧 it’s you and your creativity we come back for, much love 💕

[@1karenelizabeth]

I vote for one of the yellows to be pastel. And a pastel lavender frosting. So cute! Wallpaper #1 (#3 is my favorite, but geometrics are maddening)

[@millielanier588]

I second!

[@gneissisnice100]

I learned how to make soap solely from your videos, the Academy videos were so incredibly helpful! You are an amazing teacher and you explain everything so thoroughly and clearly. Don't feel forced to make more tutorials but you are absolutely qualified. I would never have gotten into soapmaking without you and I'm so grateful!

[@ay4u1]

+

[@veryyelloo4130]

I'd suggest to make that yellow a green, it ties in the plant vibe of both lavander and lemon and due to yellow and purple being opposite colors it gives a little rest

[@camrynmartin5197]

I like this idea, kind of like lemon "leaves" or mint or something. Give it a more botanical feel.

[@Keeyamah2]

I kinda had a similar thought, a mint, lavender lemonade soap

[@hannahportrey7259]

I love that first wallpaper! Its gorgeous, and I think it will be something that will age well trend/aesthetics wise. Also, it has those nice muted colors that you can incorporate into your other decor!

[@pauletteplatt8364]

For the wallpaper, I like the middle one the best. The first one is a bit busy and the last one is maybe too rigid. The middle one is organic, elegant and like you said neutral. :)

[@rachelgilbert3164]

It would hold up the best over time in my opinion, the left and right papers may start to look dated sooner

[@Alt87213]

Fully agree with this !! The second one almost feels timeless too, like you could live with it for a very long time and just making minor changes to the decor in the room would give you a completely different look :)

[@sneakysnek9703]

I like the first wallpaper, it's very pretty on its own, I think the second one is good if you want something that you can easily add to (art, mirror etc). Stay away from the third one tho :P With the soap definitely add a little more white to the yellow and add a lavender drizzle, it might not need the glitter. The lavender bits could also be concentrated on the top (middle) of the loaf.

[@ashleykieke8623]

We would be ALL about that tutorial life, girl! Even if there are oodles of them out there, everyone learns differently. Sometimes a different person has a new spin on the same information that just makes it click for people. You could totally be the new spin that makes it click for someone.

[@ay4u1]

+

[@rosaliac.386]

Hearing something from a trusted source is WAY more valuable and reassuring than just seeing info from any creator that comes up when you search something. Also, having a trusted source to reference when finding info elsewhere is incredibly helpful! Like others have said, including yourself 😉, you bring something different to the table just because you're YOU💚

[@caitlinhanson8631]

The soap is pretty as is, but I think it would look nice with a light pastel purple frosting 🙂 And I really like the first wallpaper design. Oh! And I would love more tutorial videos!

[@NoodleHausColubrids]

I think the yellow needs a bit of toning down, personally. When I think lemonade I think cloudy translucent with a hint of yellow, whereas this soap is very...Kool-aid/Peeps.

[@RoyaltySoaps]

That's what I keep thinking! Just needs to cool it a little. haha

[@NoodleHausColubrids]

@@RoyaltySoaps If you ever do a Peeps inspired soap, though, keep this color palette in mind! It's perfect for that.

[@hedgerow.homestead]

People are asking you to make the tutorials because they respect you as a creator and soap artisan. You have shown your skill and knowledge by sharing it with us for years and we trust you.

[@meleahwoodbury1975]

I think that is the key! You have built our trust through your knowledge great products and amazing personality.

[@rileypline2986]

I feel like you make things more approachable in your tutorials. I can be hard on myself when trying new things. You took the anxiety out of it. You keep things fun but still safe.

[@thetrashwitch2707]

I am utterly living for this bold yellow!

[@amandacarder6999]

I learned from your tutorials! I watched a lot but kept coming back to yours to actually try. Don’t be afraid to duplicate something. Sometimes a different teacher is what is needed for someone to learn! Thank you for all your videos. I learn so much from you and your processes! I also think it turned out great!

[@glittermytimbers]

It is actually helpful to have the option of multiple people giving tutorials on the same subject. You will explain it in your own way, which is bound to click with some people’s learning styles, even people who had trouble really understanding the other tutorials! And for a craft like this where there is some investment and caustic substance involved, I would want to watch as many tutorials as I can to get a well rounded understanding from multiple perspectives. You absolutely have lots to offer the soaping tutorial space, Katie! Go for it!

[@NeedlessExposition]

Been having a tough day but seeing a new video helps a lot, especially with the ad read and Caleb’s constantly changing headwear.

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Sorry about your tough day but I'm glad our acting skillz could help you feel better. lol

[@12Squared]

I love the neutral acorns floral. It leaves you more space visually for pictures, mirrors... kid art? :D You should make teaching videos that are just what you do and just what you know. Some of us prefer you and the way you do things. It doesn't really matter if EVERYONE loves them... not everyone buys your soaps or likes your videos. I know that for me I'm a basic and totally newb at soaping and making lotions and balms. I can ONLY tell the difference in lotion which oils I used. Some are frankly more oily. In soap I agree with you, I like milk soaps for shaving, so does my boyfriend (so legs AND face) and otherwise I've had some really expensive stuff and honestly didn't like it as well as the $10 bar of milk soap from my local swap meet. LOL Teach us with what YOU do. What's the overused phrase? You do YOU boo? xoxo

[@juliacoffournic]

I like the inside of the soap! Something I think might improve it is a mica line/drizzle between layers of the frosting. It's something I personally really like and find it really adds an interesting element!

[@codrinaanghelinei2250]

Hello Katy, i just wanted you to know that i absolutly adore you. You give me such a good energy and even if you massed up the color ,it still is a very ralaxing thing to watch. Thanks for being such a good example

[@beckycstuff]

Hey! I haven't watched your tutorials on soap making but I wanted to encourage you to make more. There's always always going to be room for more informational content. You have many years of experience under your belt and, speaking from an artist's perspective, it's extremely valuable and helpful to hear different people share information about their craft. You might share a little detail or nugget of information that sticks with another soap maker indefinitely! Also, if you're worried about repeating yourself or putting out information that already exists, repetition isn't a bad thing in education. That information is there for those who seek it out BUT you might have an explanation that resonates better or a perspective someone hasn't explored yet. Please do it! Thanks!

[@samslostshoe]

When it comes to writing and art, they always say, "okay, sure it's already been done, but it hasn't been done by you." Which you should definitely take to heart. You're unique and even if you think someone else does something better or even the same, you shouldn't discount yourself. We all have something to offer, if not in the big moments, in the little ones. And speaking for myself, I love your tutorials!

[@tamikocastro4343]

Okay Katie, I've been watching you since the days of your room and your parent's garage. I've watched, enjoy, and like others. BUT, I like you as well and would enjoy seeing your take on everything soapmaking. Just think about it your subscribers love you and your soap. So, in the words of another KZbinr, " Just do it and live!" Love you, lady! Whatever you decide, I'll support.

[@cutethulu_xo]

For the soap, I think you should lighten up the yellow. For the wallpaper, the middle one 😍 Absolutely make more tutorials! You're a fantastic teacher!

[@TheFeralFarmgirl]

Also, I think the soap would be really pretty as a creamy white with lavender and yellow swirls, and topped with a lavender drizzle... But maybe it's just because your soap just made me hungry for lemon bars. 😆

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

As another perfectionist I’d go for the middle wallpaper. Being a perfectionist had nothing to do with my wallpaper choice, I just wanted you to know. - OMG I could soooo relate to what you said about the tutorial stuff.

[@CassJB]

I think the only thing you should change with the soap is more swirls. You could accomplish this by adding a softer yellow swirl, or keeping all the yellow vibrant and adding an additional purple swirl. Maybe a lighter lavender or lilac swirl. Cause I really liked the vibrant yellow but felt like the ratio was off. I bet it smells fantastic 😍

[@lluviavalenzuela6103]

The middle wallpaper is very pretty

[@Brienna82]

i like the sprout wallpaper the most, the other two are awesome as well but the middle acorn one feels very busy so def needs something breaking it up like that mirror. but even then i'm not sure i'd want it on too big of a wall. a lil accent one maybe. The postcard one is also cute but more.... "rigid" botanical since postcards. guess that's why i prefer the sprout wallpaper, can imagine it on large surfaces without feeling busy and i like the free flowy botanical design over the postcard one.

[@kathoward21]

I love all the wallpaper options but I’d go with the 2nd one so I could put more things on the wall. It’s just neutral enough to work as a great background

[@nfcapps]

I'm a little late, but you should use the neutral tan one, but for every two or three strips if the neutral you put one strip of the flowery one. Or put one strip of the flowery one in the middle of each wall, and surround it with the neutral. Or put a natural one in the middle so the flowery one is offset by one width (make it the same on each wall.) The flowery one is too dated. There natural one is too bland. But together they would POP! The postcard one is just too choppy for a large individual space like a dining room. It would be distracting to sit in a room with all that. However, the postcard one would be great if you have a painted room and one wall is shorter than the others so that paper would be an accent.

[@Chantal_4107]

Love the second wallpaper, and I vote for a lighter yellow and purple drizzle :) and you are a fantastic teacher!

[@TheFeralFarmgirl]

The only real thing I want to learn, is a good goat milk soap recipe that I can make the soap frosting with. And I can understand a soap maker not wanting to share their recipes. I mean trade secrets, right? Your soaps are very beautiful, and inspire me to get better with the craft.

[@chrissyp3165]

Katie your great ! I watch you not other people. I like first paper and mad mica makes a very pretty yellow ,lemon cupcake I think its called

[@kindelglamser8455]

You are far and away the best tutorial teacher I have ever watched! Imposter Syndrome is real, but you have been making soap for a long time and are most definitely a professional with information to share. Also, the fact that one of your approaches is to be cost conscious is so very unique.

[@stevegunter3838]

Your Royal Creative Academy videos are the BEST, clearest, most organized instructional videos I've seen about soaping. Your videos are TOTALLY why I decided to try soap making, and my first batch was wonderful THANKS TO YOU. I'd say definitely add more videos to the Academy!

[@tamikocastro4343]

Oh BTW I think you should keep it the way it is, but that's just me.

[@azzy_morning]

there could be a million tutorials, but people come to you for YOU and how you would teach it. I personally would love tutorials, especially about cleaning up afterwards. Also: The middle wallpaper looks the best in my opinion.

[@dustbitten]

I think you should add more purple and choose 1 yellow

[@megansteward7490]

I can’t think of an ad in recent history I enjoyed as much as this series with you and Caleb 😂

[@heathergarrison8189]

Personally, you’re one of the few KZbinrs I can actually listen to. You keep things light and entertaining without being over the top. I would absolutely watch your tutorials (even though I don’t even make soap! I just like watching you make it)

[@sengarde6541]

Yellow burst beads on top + the lavender buds would look amazing!

[@sengarde6541]

And make the main body of the soap more pastel

[@JessieMassoudi]

The second wallpaper!

[@amandalewellen9281]

I think this may be the perfect royalty soaps vid. Real talk, soap nightmare with positivity on the side, Sara and Johnny are icons, and of course all the typical satisfying soapy goodness. Thank you Katie!

[@gingeelise]

Katie I JUST finished making the academy soaps for the very first time!! my drop swirl loaf is setting as I type. I loved following your tutorials - you're so kind and you explain things so well. I also really appreciated the focus on safety and the reminders in each episode. I would love if you made some slightly more intermediate designs for us to follow!

[@jonnymmac]

We like the 3rd wallpaper.

[@sus1221]

I LOVE wallpaper #1.

[@isabellastockhall3588]

PLEASE MAKE A SHREK SOAP

[@DutchessDivinity]

Wallpaper number 2 with the mirror 🪞♥️

[@catherinemarie6245]

Needs lemon slices

[@savannahsmith4324]

The first wallpaper looks so good! As for the color, you should make it very pastel and instead of having 2 yellows maybe replacing the brighter accent yellow with a white or a light purple. Also the glitter ruined it for me but I personally have a vendetta against glitter.

[@missysimaginings1]

KATIE!!! YOU are the one who taught me how to make soap & I always go back to your tutorials & recipes for refresher information. Anything you add to your educational type videos will be appreciated so much. YOU are the teacher of choice! 💖 …and I like the first wall paper choice. 😊

[@TheSoapChef]

Katie, you’re the OG of KZbin. Of course, you’re good enough. Of course you have ALOT of value to offer. Of course, people will love to watch anything you do.

[@craazyforcoookies]

In terms of the colours, think you should lighten the main yellow and deepen/warm up the contrast yellow and maybe even add a white to swirl in the middle. Definitely drizzle some purple throughout the frosting to keep the continuity. For the wallpapers I like 1 and 3 equally! Hope this helps!

[@SandyDiVa]

I love the elegance and versatility of wallpaper #2! Yellow is out of your comfort zone…how about a sprig of lavender on either side of a tiny lemon embed? Maybe melt and pour? Personally, i despise lavender lol now LILAC…thats my jam…lilac and bergamot are an interesting pairing that i love, maybe give that a try if youre in the experimenting mood? 💗

[@Stjernenbaby]

Caleb is back in the commercials and I literally am deceased!! Y’all are hilarious 🤣😂👏🏼 the hats you guys.. 👏🏼THE 👏🏼 HATS 👏🏼😂😂

[@snowsmoon1]

Ok, one you are awesome teacher and i so enjoy watching ALL YOUR IDEAS and videos. May instead of the two yellows, use white, yellow and purple. It would make the frosting blend in a little better. The wall papers are beautiful...the second one would be my favorite.

Katie - the soap looks AMAZING. You don't need to change the colors or the buds - nothing at all! It's just perfect!!! LOVE the yellows!

I know 899,000 people that think you are qualified! I never plan on ever making soap but I’d watch them!!! Also love the postcard wallpaper!!

I wish you'd do a tutorial about piping. I've got all the piping equipment, but I'm, like, scared to even try it! Silly, I know. But ... maybe if you'd do a tutorial about it, I'd be more courageous.

Haven't you ever learned something from a teacher in school, totally didn't get it, took it home and had your parent explain it and suddenly it makes sense? Sometimes the right teacher makes all the difference. Plus idk about other people, but when I want to learn something on youtube, I never just watch one video from one creator, I watch as many as I can before I try it myself.

Oh, Girlfriend, knock it off. You know we love you, and that's the reason we watch you. The commercials with Caleb...adorable. Your brand of silly, is our type of silly. 💜🧡💛💙💙💝🤗

I started with your 3 stage soap classes. Basic and functional. PERFECT! ! ! FOR STARTING. Soap is for washing not gathering dust in a glass dish.

Absolutely do more. You're honest and trusted and have integrity. :) Your tutorials are complete and informative and super helpful.

Katie, to be very honest, we’d watch anything you do. ANYTHING. We’re here to support and learn anything you’d like to share with us. If you have blooper videos we’d watch and laugh with you. Just keep making content.

On the wallpaper, if I had to pick I would say Dining room, hallway, kitchen. You know that game kiss, marry, RIP. Like that!!!. I like the sprouts with the buds
