A HECTIC couple of days making soap gift sets, solid shampoo and hand soap🌿 A VLOG.

As I watch your videos, the most wonderful part to me is… watching you flourish, joyful, free to learn, create and express yourself. Having a supportive husband, a safe space, stability… you are able to truly enjoy life. Of course there are difficult times but you have one another. I’m proud of you! I am also very proud of Kale! He understands how to love you in the most precious of ways. I apologize if all that sounds odd coming from someone you don’t know. I am struggling. I am alone, 43 and although I’m in recovery now, my life was destroyed by addiction. I’m barely making it. I work as a case manager and relief counselor in a treatment center. I fear I’ll never be able to start my soap business. I’m not trying to be a kill-joy. I’m just happy the two of you have one another. You’ve worked hard to get here. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you so much for this message and I am so sorry about the struggles you’re currently going through. I know how hard it can be - life has been a journey for us too and it was definitely not always like it was now. Know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and hope. I’m happy I can provide some comfort and inspiration to you through my videos ❤. Sending you so much love and peace ❤️❤️❤️

4:00 I feel ya. I had a summer launch planned then depression hit HARD, now I'm seeing all the autmnal scents and thinking "maybe I'll just go to autumnland instead..." 😂 Thanks for letting me live the small business dream through your videos until I'm feeling a little better. ❤ Happy 50th to Cale's parents! 🎉

[@JerikaZimmerman]

You’re welcome to live vicariously through my videos any time! Yes, time to go full autumn land ! 🍂

I love this kind of video. It made me get up and make anti-aging cream😅😅😅. I love your fur babies, especially kitty..

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Woohoo!!! I bet it turned out amazingly!!

[@carischaoticcreations3925]

Fantastic video. Thank you for taking us along with you "to work' I need to try this shampoo recipe. Seems so much better than the one i currently make.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

It's so good!

[@herfruitfulglow]

I really enjoy your vlogs! Thanks for sharing!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Glad you like them! I love making themn

[@cliviascreations]

Love everything. I was yelling at you “ name the soap golden lemons” lol. All the details came together so nicely. Jerika plant an AloeVera and you will love the difference. It’s the base for mine lotions and AloeVera soaps and even of course my own AloeVera gel. Happy Fourth of July!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

That’s on my bucket list of plants!!! Aloe is amazing

[@Truecrimequeen68]

The laser came out beautifully

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you! I think so too!

Looks like you had fun. Where did you find that cardigan? Love the colors!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I purchased it from Cider 😊

I believe Voyageur has/had a shop on the U.S side of Surrey BC.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

That’s amazing!!

[@savanah1407]

I’ve started getting headaches from scents but vanilla is usually “safe” for me as are milk & oat with light honey scents.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Agreed! I was lacking a vanilla element to my core line 😊

[@tanyabonnett4174]

Cale and his father look so alike in the Wedding photo of his parents when they married. I wish we could get all the ingredients you use in your body products down here in Australia. I love the sea themed soap and the Blueberry bars.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yes, they do! 😊

[@lilelela8772]

It has not been a while since I started watching your videos and all of your soaps are amazing and beautiful soaps and I love them all. I am a new starter and I want to start selling soaps I make, and the laboratory needs to make sure it is safe and healthy before I start selling them since I live in New York? Would it be possible to get an answer? Thank you!❤

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Oh wow I didn’t know New York had regulations like that. I live in Washington, so I do not need to send them to a lab.

[@galaxia4709]

I don't think soap in the US needs to be tested in a lab, not even in Europe, let alone the US. It is considered to be safe since the saponification process (extreme high pH) is harsh conditions for bacteria so they are considered to be killed. No soap maker I know of, whether in the US, Canada, Australia or Europe has to send their soap to a lab for safety testing. It could in principle be that you have to send your recipe and let a chemist see if the recipe is safe, this would probably be called that you need an assessment before selling your soap, but to be sure the best thing to do is to search for soap selling regulations New York? I know that regulations in the US changed a couple of yrs ago

Quick thinking by changing the colour to white, it looks stunning in your study. Do you Personally use the products that you make?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Everything! I make my own shampoo, soap, lotion, the whole 9 yards 😊

[@foorlife632]

Do you have a special computer program you use to make your labels?

[@JennyRowe-n6k]

Hi love your videos, just wondering if you use a solid conditioner with your shampoo bar?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I do! I also make my own conditioner bars 😊

@@JerikaZimmerman awesome thank you!

[@marie-everaymond1805]

Yes your original recipe is much more time consuming messy but much nicer for color hair. I try this method too several time but I prefer way more with btms. Specialy color hair.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

You can try melting BTMS and adding it!

[@michelefreitas4762]

How did you learn how to formulate? Did you take courses?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Nope! Just curiosity and research.

[@themossgarden9698]

Question, I noticed the hand soap said 8 oz, should it be fl oz? If it’s liquid?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yeah for the soap, I wasn’t being too precise since I’m not selling it and was rushing a bit 😅. But I wil definitely get better labelling if I ever sell it.

[@hilaryquinn8673]

Nice relaxing video. You made the anniversary very special. When Humble Bee & Me showed us this method for shampoo making, I was excited because it’s so much less messy. I love my shampoo bars but they take forever. Yours look nice!
