That's AWESOME. Congratulations on the sales.

[@nooks12]

Yes! The pumpkin 🎃 spice fragrance you have is amazing!

[@karagrant5037]

I can definitely relate to loving stickers on. I’m getting ready to open up my own soap shop and I have found your videos to be very encouraging. I’ll be starting it out of my house but have a dream for a store front in our city in the future. I live in Arkansas in the US. Your labels are beautiful. I am teaching myself how to design and such to make my own labels as well. I haven’t gotten very far. Lol

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Hi Kara! Thanks for watching And good luck on your soaping journey! I’m planning a video all about labels so stay tuned!

[@PriscillaStewart633]

@@JerikaZimmerman Thank you I just started following you and you make it very easy to grasp what appears to be super intimidating/ overwhelming I can't wait until you do your labels video I appreciate all the work you do as well as the GEMS you give us who aspire to be where you are!!!

To remove the cream off the wisk . You can try to put it back in for a spin when the bowl is empty and it should throw the rest off to the sides of the bowl . I do this when I make hummus 😋

[@Ash-dp7tm]

Wow you're incredible. You deserve more subscribers. Can you please make a video on how you started & any tips for someone who would like to start this please xx

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you! I’ll be posting a lot more so hopefully the subscribers will come if I’m more consistent ☺️

[@JerikaZimmerman]

And yes! I will 100% be doing a “How I Started” video!

[@cryingbroken8824]

@@JerikaZimmerman I'm new here, will definitely spread the word/s! Not even sure *how I ended up finding your channel!🤷‍♀️ But certainly happy I did!😁😍😘

[@littleredhouseonthehillsoa1209]

I love your jars for the body butter 🥰

[@analeblanc7201]

Great job! Where can I find the jars for the lip balm and blank labels for lip balm? I love them. TIA

[@ascendingLOTUS]

Tyfs! When you make batches that size how long are you able to store them? I would love a video on storing different types of products like scrubs, butters, oils, etc. ☺️💕

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I have only had to store them for at most a month before they’re sold. I make extremely small batches. They should last about a year. In a cool, dry and dark place away from sunlight, they should last quite a long time. That being said, I have had my test batches last over a year and still going strong. I totally want to do a cribs-style tour of my storage system but it’s honestly sooooo messy haha! Maybe after the Christmas madness 😂

[@ascendingLOTUS]

@@JerikaZimmerman thanks for responding 💕

[@AnnaTMOW]

Just ordered from you! So excited to get your beautiful soaps/bath bombs soon!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Can’t wait for you to get it!!! BUT there is a COVID outbreak in the Canada post distribution center where packages heading to the states stop at. It’s actually delaying quite a few of my packages that are US bound 😔

[@AnnaTMOW]

@@JerikaZimmerman Good to know. At least I’ve already had Covid, lol. I won’t worry about getting it from the distribution center, lol. Have thought about offering a “Covid Bath Bomb”? Kidding. Guessing that might not be a huge seller...

[@nathaliefortin140]

Hi Jerika, what model of printer do you use ? Are you satisfied with it ? Would you go with an upgraded one ?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

It’s an HP laser printer I got from Costco. I really like it! No need to upgrade at this time, but I may down the line.

[@amanda.r2241]

Can someone tell me what she uses to get the green drizzle on top of the bathbombs? I'm asking because all of the greens I find are not safe for bathbomb use. I apologize but I asked this question in the wrong video. If anyone know can you answer? Thank u

[@NoFilterJana]

Hey! I saw that u were taking a while filling up the jars, have you tried putting the body butter in a really big piping bag? Try it out and i hope it helps!!

[@NoFilterJana]

(Squeeze the piping bag to get the body butter into the jars) also more mess free

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Awesome tip!

[@angeliquechurilla121]

Hi I'm wanting to start my own making things soon, can you make a video on how to know how much Ingredients to add and how much scent to add. 🙂

[@ericaann3237]

Thank you so much for this video. Would u mind telling me how many products you usually make to sale?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

We make a LOT of product! Every day we’re making something! 🙂

[@thereseandhoney]

Hi Jerika, would you mind showing the whole process of body butter making (perhaps with recipe). I’ve tried to make body butters many times but it always get grainy after a while 😓

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Sure thing!

[@Elaine-ue7pf]

@@JerikaZimmerman Yes, please! I can't wait for the recipe video! I love how you share your knowledge and how selfless you are. You desearve all the success in life and much more! I admire you so much ;)

[@cryingbroken8824]

Ick! definitely work enough to make it worth the price!

[@nephtalielungalala1854]

Hello Jerika do you mind letting us know where you get your labels? Thank you and keep doing your amazing job. Oh also I don’t know if you already did since I’m new here but would you like to make a Q&A so we get to know you more 😊

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Hello! I’m making a video allllll about labels so stay tuned! And a q and a is an awesome idea and I might do a weekly video dedicating a day for it. But definitely stay tuned! It’s all coming ☺️

[@analeblanc7201]

Can you give me a link to find the same white box?

[@melaniemorfitt2686]

As a fellow Canadian, do you also include ingredients in French? (could it be on the back side???) Thanks for your awesome information.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Ingredients are listed in common INCI only. Not in English or French. And yes, they're on the label on the back of the product.

[@melaniemorfitt2686]

@@JerikaZimmerman WOW! That is valueable info that I had no clue about! Your info is gamechanging. BTW if you ever want to know how to take 'powdery bathbombs' and 'fix' them...I became an expert on the weekend. lol. I assume you will never have that video...since you are waaaaay past the newbie stage. But it CAN be done. :)

[@No0neButMe]

The shrink wrap is biodegradable but are the labels and their adhesive?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

The labels and adhesive are not.

[@HSAlliance]

@@JerikaZimmerman which labels do you purchase (template) . I didn’t see that in the list of products

[@cryingbroken8824]

Do you have a direct link to your order page somewhere? I've been looking, but can't find it yet...

[@JerikaZimmerman]

If you'd like to order from my company, click here: quenchsoap.com.

[@DLUXETV]

Hi! What kind of printer do you use for your product labels?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

It’s an HP laser jet. Check out my more recent videos for a link!

[@rochellemayfield578]

Where do you get your jars from?

[@vflores890]

How do you keep your body butter from melting during shipping and storing?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I keep it in a cool dry and dark place and do not sell and/or ship this in the summer when it’s hot.

[@TaterBug7]

How long have you been making homemade products?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

3 years ☺️

[@julesjam215]

I mix fragrances also, makes a great variety from the competition.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Very true!
