Thank you Ms. Holly. I truly enjoy watching your soapmaking. I have now made 3 batches. My first batch was ok , but my second got better , and my third one is really good , or so my family says. Each one of my siblings and my descendants all have different skin problems. I just want to thank you for inspiring me to be able to go more natural without all the chemicals , in taking care of my family!!!!!!! God bless you and know that you are in my prayers.

I feel you. I grew up on a farm with a wood furnace in the basement so the house was too hot at night yet freezing by morning, heat lamps in the well house and busting the ice every morning before school so the livestock could get to their water.

So happy to see you back to soaping and making videos again! I actually wanted to ask you about your mini-split to see which one you went with and how many sq ft you're covering with it? We're putting a new building on our farm currently (running all those utilities is fun, huh? 🤣) and we were planning a mini-split for a 900 sq ft soap studio portion of it so it's all separate from the rest of the building. Good luck with your build and can't wait to see more videos! ❤
@moriversoap10 ай бұрын
Thanks! I think a lot of it is the location. We have the mini split up high and if we had a ceiling fan, it would blow that heat back down. We have the mini set at 80 and it keeps it 65 in there. The problem is that I don't want a ceiling fan because it will blow the dust around in the workspace. The mini is energy efficient so it is more cost effective to crank it up than to supplement with heaters right now. I think they are amazing as air conditioners but maybe not the best for heating.
@angelacollins810 ай бұрын

Hi Holly, so glad to see you back to soap making. You inspire me. My personal preference to heat your studio is a woodburning stove. Easy to install and will keep you warm while you are working! I have a question. I have never made soap but I hope to experiment this winter :) Do you leave your soap out at room temperature? I have seen people put them in ovens and insulated coolers to go through "gel" phase. How do you do it, if you don't mind me asking? Wishing you the greatest success in Montana!
@moriversoap10 ай бұрын
Thank you Sheila! I have thought about the wood stove but I'm afraid I'm not out there enough to monitor it. I need something that will maintain a temperature when I am not there, overnight, etc.. But it would be so cozy! I typically just cover my molds with a flat piece of cardboard or a plastic tray. The molds are wood so the soaps gel without towels or anything additional.

Thanks! You'll want to put a solid lid on the top so that doesn't happen. I like to use a flat box (not put together). Covering it will help to prevent ash. Now whether you need the insulation or not to complete the gel is a different story.

About the pronunciation it doesn't matter at all cause if you're like me , I'm country grown and that slang is gonna come out in your speech! ❤ It's a joy to get time to watch u when I get a chance! I have the numbness and pain with cracking going on as well as dizziness that comes from tubicular neuronitis which at times has thrown me into the floor at anytime cause it could happen in any position (standing or laying) & this condition can promote vomiting out of the blue. Low & behold I also have Achilles tendonitis with a bone spur poking straight into my Achilles! I feel awful but keep going no matter what cause if I slow down I actually feel worse. Not to mention 2 bad knees! 🤯 I have 2 grown daughters outta the house, 1 grown son still here and 2 teen boys and raising my only grandchild Hollee so who can slow down with that😅 so I understand your pain!

@moriversoap10 ай бұрын
Thank you! First of all, I would like to clarify that you need to be making soap for well over a year (preferably more) before selling. There is a lot to learn and it's important to find a recipe you like and thoroughly test it before offering it to the public. For the question you asked, soap needs to cure at minimum for four weeks. The soap will be best at 6 weeks or more.
