I needed a thick body cream so I made one.

Come join a small business owner to see how my soap studio is coming together! I also make a no-melt body butter and try baking oatmeal cookies for the first time!

Hey fam, she’s not doing anything wrong in how she’s baking, she’s just doing it different than you would. Hubby loved the recipe so need to try to correct her methods. Our individual ways of doing things gives us character and makes us unique. The studio window is a dream and love the idea to put the tables close. Can’t wait to see it all come together ❤

[@tinaparker7302]

❤ I remember cool water...I loved that scent.....memories 😊

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

Hun, don’t use freezer paper for piping. Get press n seal lay a piece down with the sticky side up.Lay down ur body butter then bring the the press n seal together then pinch the press n seal together similar to the way u did it here. Swiss both sides cut one side w a scissor leaving a little bit of that twist. Slide in u piping bag give it a lil squeeze and there ya go. Sooo, much easier then this way. I ship oil n butter based body butter through out the year. U have to pack the heck outta it to insulated enough we’re it won’t melt. Also I put wax in it to bind everything together. When u insulate really well u need to use shred. U can’t use paper or peanuts or bubble wrap. It has to be shred and u have to pack it solid like a brick. What u can do also pack a box as if u had an order and do a couple different packing’s and mail it to urself. That’s what I do I mail stuff to me so I can get it exactly the way the customer gets it. That was the best thing I ever did. All business owners should mail there products to themselves. I found out that the bubble wrap I used around my glass bottles didn’t hold up like it should have and there was no air left in any of the bottles. They were 2 inch glass perfume bottles. lol, there was not 1 bubble that had air in it. I’m still shocked that the bottle didn’t break. That body butter looks beautiful and soothing n moisturizing. Beautiful product girl.

When baking, pre-cut parchment paper ( found in stores ) does wonders in lining cookie sheets.

[@glynisvelez3657]

I love cool water . I even found a fragrance for soaps that’s scented cool water.. one of my favorite summer soaps

[@TheSoapChef]

I love the bins Jerika, they look like IKEA. Is that where you got them? Also, you just living life, is so pleasing to watch.

[@user-dg8bd8hh3j]

I absolutely love all of the natural light that you get in this home

[@bonnafide2606]

I know it's probably odd, but I'm from the US and I use grams to make soap and cosmetics, even though I don't have to do so. I cook in Imperial measurements, but soap in metric. It's easier to find out measurements of containers if you convert 1 cm of length to 1 gram of weight.

[@r.durante528]

So happy you are getting settled in your new home. There’s no better feeling then being settled .

[@ReddOctober]

I’m very excited for you and glad you’re finally able to get settled in! Best to you both!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you so much!! ❤

[@tammyssudz]

I absolutely love your new house! I am so jealous, especially of the lake view and the studio. Beautiful choice. 🤤

[@sherryzimmerman9220]

Studio Development is a learning experience…..but how lovely to have a new space with such possibilities…..and the view…….lovely coffee breaks on the deck…….yes yes yes to the baking……THE MEAL WAS AMAZING!…….Papa is or used to be a big fan of patchouli….ummmmm?……. Loved the body butter…..my favor!

[@lovereigns4017]

Patchouli is an amazing fragrance❤❤❤

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you for coming! ❤

[@melindaduncan3073]

I wish I had a studio that people couldn’t actually see. We have an open concept house so you can see everything from any room except the bedrooms.

[@karolmackenzie]

Love that you're in your new place settling in and watching you and Cale set up your office. So very Happy for you both

[@deb5207]

Yay!! ❤ I'm super happy for you. You are one of the first soapers that I watched when I first started soaping. I love your videos.

[@sabrinastreet5337]

I can't wait to see the final set up. I am still trying to get mine organized and set up and it's just made me lose inspiration. I am hoping you give me some setup ideas to get me motivated again!!!!

[@UniGoatBathandBody]

Whatever you do, don't give up the metric system! 😆😆Jk, you do what you need to do! I've only just discovered your videos but you've been such an inspiration already as I'm starting my own small business journey. Thanks for all you do and nothing but good vibes as you settle in to life in the States! - Sarah, A fellow Canadian Soaper

[@nicolesakowicz2949]

Just a thought- if you put some felt spots (like you use for chairs) on the bottom of the wire baskets it will prevent it from scratching your shelf. Also those oatmeal pies are my favorites to make- so amazing and my family loves them!!

[@greenbarn2213]

Jerika, are you not going to sell your bath bomb recipe anymore on Etsy anymore? Glad you are starting to settle in ❤

[@latashaaskew9230]

Love your videos. You are such an inspiration ✨️ May you continue to be blessed.

[@soakitinartisansoap]

Always hard to set up a new workshop but you'll get there. Perhaps have your wire racks in the center of your space that way it is still see through (regardless of what you put on them) and you can take advantage of all the wall outlets for the actual work space. It can also serve as a room divider where one area is production and the other side is the office packaging side. Food for thought. Or perhaps have an electrician add outlets on the floor or vertical strip and have your workspace in the center of the room. Lots of options for a great big space.

[@shaydelady1508]

Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma Chameleon.... Red, Gold and Green. LOL. Name that song. I can't afford to become a monthly patron at this moment but I was curious if you sell your recipe's for a 1 time cost? I'm so happy for you and Cale. I hope all is well! Just remember moving sucks and it will all come together. Never feel pressured to get a video out! We're all here because we adore you and understand how stressful moving is. Hope Dempsey and Jiggy are adjusting smoothly as well as Gibson! Take care and remember to be kind to yourself! God Bless you 10 fold!

[@brittaniewilliams4663]

Cool Water was the best back in the day. LOL!! Congratulations on the new house!!

[@inhisways7298]

Love your videos. May your new space be blessed. Have you ever tried grass fed beef tallow in balms & soaps. It does wonders for psoriasis & eczema. Blessing from South Africa

[@zoey4205]

I can't wait to see the final reveal of the soap studio! I always have and always will love you and what you do 🥰

[@sarahgirlsoaps]

I just did the clean out and rearranged for how it works best now. That video will be soon! Thanks for sharing your journey

Glad to see you settling in .

I’m so glad it’s finally happening! ❤

I totally remember cool waters. I’m totally dating myself but the first perfume I bought for high school was Calvin Klein’s Obsession. Now when I smell it all of high school flashes before me. Lol

[@803trends]

Love the new studio setup Jerika. Glad things are moving right along for you.

[@crazywowable]

Lovely watching you move & make body butter. Love your daisy earrings 😊

[@alisonbaker1963]

You look so happy😊 The body butter is a gorgeous summery colour 🎉

[@sjastram]

you can get gliders to put under the legs of your shelves so you can move them on your own. So worth it. Completely jealous of your space!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

That’s such a great suggestion!!! ❤

[@jessicastites9123]

Cool water 😂 ‘91 over here and my brother used to wear that growing up! Lots of memories

[@803trends]

I used to buy that for my teenage son. He loved Cool Water.

Hi, I was just wondering if you were going to share that oatmeal cookie recipe with us I am in love with the oatmeal recipe cookie pie

[@Latherandloop]

I want to smell that new fragrance collection so bad!

[@melissapeterson4202]

Sparkly and brightening scents! Great way to describe the fragrance. Sounds wonderful.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

It really is! 😊

[@BellaRayneJewelryCo]

I LOVE this !!!!! I need something that will not be oily as well as not melt in the triple digits we are about to get here in CA. As always, perfection from Jerika !!!!! I love Bramble Berry.....I am a VERY frequent customer and I love their products. Your studio is coming right along - did you get your table assembled and everything else skootched down - Yay for Cale !!!! Your view is STUNNING ! I would work there all day long...Have a GREAT and fabulous weekend ! Cannot wait for the Bubbles goodies !!!

[@ebistreet]

Love you jerika!!! And love the moving journey!!!

[@virginiaschott4482]

Love the new studio space. I think the Fizz Fairy, Oatmeal, milk and honey fragrance smells like the original Jergens lotion. If you have some, ask your MIL, she will probably remember the smell.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Oh thank you for the suggestion!

[@boutchou3539]

Hi Jerika 😊 First the Davidoff cool water was my first perfume qhen i was young so i totally understand the nostalgic feeling ! Second, i did your mint cooling emulsified body butter recently, and this new formula desert romance one, how would you compare it to the mint one in term of feeling on the skin ? Thanks a lot and loove your videos ❤

[@kathy4950]

Hello great job on all your work. Have a blessed day. Kathy from Cali.😎

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you! You too!❤

soaping is alot like baking its all about the measurements

[@susanbancroft1575]

Lovely body butter and colours

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you! 😊

[@VWeiss-et8pi]

A nice large space. Do you have a sink, water, etc. I don't think I saw that or missed it. So needed for us soaper's.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Nope, no sink. We’ll need to install one. Cale and I are NOT Reno people so it’ll be a whole new experience for us lol.

[@VWeiss-et8pi]

@@JerikaZimmerman Hopefully you have an accessible water line to tap into and same with drain line. Plumbing can be such a pain. I am really blessed with my husband being a jack of all trades. He built the building my shop and soap kitchen are in and did the plumbing, electric, etc. Good luck with it all. Probably a little frustrating waiting.

[@squishys_originaldesign]

I love jojo too!😻

Can the tables go in the middle of the room like an island with the shelves and storage against the walls around the room?

[@marcyhoward2076]

I thought I was the only one ! I feel like I do more rearranging than actual making! 🤦‍♀️

[@paulaharrison9812]

Do you have any advice on getting your recipes accessed or videos, it seems such an expensive process and there’s so many different views I get lost, I don’t really understand the process. I do keep records of everything and I have put batch numbers on but not started selling yet.

[@ms.mowens2988]

[@angelagardener1234]

Why would you want to put Cannabis in a fragrant Oil? 😮The smell of it is horrendous with people smoking it nearby. Yet the actual tree of the Carribean of where it comes from doesn't have the smell of what people smoke. I remember when I smelt it at school for the first time during a science lessons and I'm still not sure how he got it got through customs 🤔but my teacher at the time had a Muscle Condition so he had clearance possibly back in the day of school.
