[@liqui1781]

I think the unpredictability would make the soaps even more unique!

[@SquishyRogue]

honestly Katie - turning 30 was the best thing for me. I felt like an actual adult then! Look forward to it, your 30s are GREAT!

[@lucy7b]

So are your 60s.

[@managodess]

I second this. Turned 30 last year and I finally felt like everything is in a place where I want it to be.

[@shavonnerichardson2317]

I agree. I did really feel like an adult. I found out alot about myself, like Motherhood, lolol

[@Queenofcats36]

My 30s have been the best years of my life!!

[@TheCallieLilly]

just wait till you hit your 40s... It's amazing!!!

[@helenamirian908]

Katie, I gotta say, I've been watching your videos since pre-pandemic and I am proud of the way you have been growing "the right way up". I'm an oldster; a middle aged (gasp) lifetime crafter and artist and firstly, welcome to "the club"! You're not supposed to tell people that until they turn 30, but since you're looking forward to it, hey. To explain the "right way up" thing, people especially in the South where I'm from formerly, tend to age into worse versions of their parents. You can either get more open minded and curious and empathetic, or you can be a "get off my lawn!" kind of adult. I have chosen to stay teachable and it seems you have, too. Keep it up! 🫐

[@Leeza3370]

You're prices have always been fair. I've gone to bazaars and craft fairs where there have been homemade soaps, their prices have always been higher than yours. It's one of the reasons that I keep purchasing my soap through royalty soaps

[@AnnieN99]

Those ones at bazaars probably aren't buying in bulk either which tends to be cheaper. Just something to keep in mind.

[@Leeza3370]

​@@AnnieN99that's a very good point

[@rosaliac.386]

​@@AnnieN99as well as those people have extra overhead to pay for, I've heard vendor fees can be ridiculous

[@minimouette]

To me they are more expensive than the one i'll find in bazaar, but that's because i'm from canada and the currency + shipping bring up the bars at almost 20$ each lol. They are way over my budget from a technical point of view, but i still cut in other places to get them. I feel it's worth it. They are on display in my bathroom and they bring me joy everyday. I love choosing the next bar i will use and I love the conversations they sparks when i have people over. Plus, almost every soapmaker in my area tend to make very minimalistic design with only natural colors and essential oils. It is great for sure, but I love all the colors and funky designs from Royalty Soap. 😊

[@Duvbott]

Katie really is an angel 😭❤️ keeping prices down while also keeping a high quality product?? No on does it like her. Revolutionary 👏✨

[@brittaniepowell7742]

You should do this layering style for a rain or cloud type!! It literally looks like clouds are raining down with a blue sky behind it

[@eflarsen]

completely agree with everyone saying to reuse the design concept as a rainy day themed soap!

[@yasao_art]

The design is SO pretty! It would look so amazing in a rainy day themed soap. You know, the kind of cozy weather where you curl up with a book and a cup of tea and watch the rain outside? :3 The teardrop design would be perfect for it.

[@tksharkbait]

When I hit 30, I realized there really was something to that surge of self-confidence people talked about at thirty and beyond. Now I'm turning 38 this year, and I'm optimistic about 40! My thirties have been a blast, and I've come so far (house, career, fulfilling hobbies, travel), and I think my 40s will only bring more of that.

[@zovjraar]

Oooh, 40's are even better! You're gonna love it! Combine that 30's confidence with 0 effs left to give, and honey, we got it made!

[@lisaroper421]

I like the unpredictably! And it is so wonderful that you are being cost conscience. BUT, life is what it is, and I am juat trusting that you know that we understand if prices have to go up. 3x the cost of ingredients is killer! No joke! I say this because I want to be able to have Royalty Soaps for as long as you are able! 😉❤

[@animosity9197]

Katie, I LOVE that you talk about trying to find ways to cut costs where you can, without making an inferior product. I'm definitely one of those people who can't really afford to buy artisan soap (especially once you factor in shipping!), BUT watching your videos inspired me to look into local soap makers in my area and see if I could avoid shipping costs on top of hand-made soap, and I found I actually have several options! I've gotten spoiled, I feel so annoyed now when I go out places and I have to wash my hands with other soaps, lol. I really love the way lye-based soaps feel (way more than glycerin soaps, which is what my mom always buys when she gets hand-made soap!) and I REALLY love being able to find soap that doesn't have extra crap in it, that isn't technically detergent or whatever else. It's also something I think about a lot as a seamstress! Especially since I've gotten into embroidery. It makes me so so happy to see my friends and family wearing masks or using pouches that I embroidered for them, but if I charged a customer what my labor should cost for how long it takes...it would be absurdly expensive. I've definitely been thinking lately about how I like making things, and I cannot just keep storing one million pouches in my house because I have WAY too many to use myself. Yes, I deserve to be compensated for my skilled labor, but also...if I'm going to make these for fun anyway, maybe selling them for cost of materials or with a very small markup that doesn't entirely cover my labor isn't the worst thing in the world. People deserve to have nice things, AND I deserve to have the things I make and enjoy making go somewhere they will be USED, instead of sitting on my desk once I've finished them. Obviously that's not a sustainable business model or anything, but it does let me recoup some of the costs involved and gets my work into people's hands. I also really like the unpredictability of this soap, especially since it's comparatively simple otherwise. It's like a fun little surprise!

[@stellapacifica]

I would adore a line of "Oopsoaps" or whatever you'd name them - the trial runs, times when it thickened up too fast or slow, or just something unpredictable happened. It adds character, and they all suds up the same!

[@anniemayfield4589]

She has a line of soaps that don’t quite meet her standards. She calls them peasant soaps and they are marked down. They suds up the same and smelly lovely, they still look lovely too but they aren’t what the final product actually looks like .

[@jmentel2059]

I love that it’s unpredictable. Everyone will get their own unique bar.

[@MollyMcCarthy8]

I haven't even watched yet, but I've always thought a soap collection based on a halo taco collection would be a fun colab

[@Purplegoldfish]

Needs to happen 😍

[@byeFofiko1]

Might be difficult because of Katie's focus on ecologically friendly glitter, and I don't believe that exists for holo? If it does, that would be awesome!

[@Purplegoldfish]

@@byeFofiko1 she's used holo eco glitter before!

[@graveside_glitz1015]

When you blended that shocker blue into the oils…stunning color ❤ Your joke about the ghost swirl was hilarious 😂 I think the soap turned out so cute with those blueberries and the shimmer on top was so pretty ❤

[@caramiajen8]

16:18 "I thought I was really going to be doing something..." I feel like that's me every time I do anything crafty

[@stephfornow7934]

Keep it! It’s my favorite layered design yet 😍 the top color is beautiful as well, I would lighten the two middle shades to better bridge from bottom to top 🌈

[@MissHaro777]

I like the drips and the drastic top layer difference personality.

[@lukesmithkaz]

Katie, I turned 30 last year and it's been the start of the best decade of my life! Things will always be hard, but you've grown and adapted more than you realize. Life is a musical thing, and we're simply dancing along side it :)

[@xcollisioncourse]

Farmers defense makes really cute protective sleeves. I've seen a lot of soapers use them!

[@lindseybotelho]

I love the idea of making a soap based on nail art! You should make this a series and you also do the bail art on your nails 💙

[@daphnereal3129]

Today's embeds remind me of rhinestoning things, which I do a lot as a cosplayer 😂😂 now I'm curious if any of the rhinestoning tools to pick up the rhinestones would also pick up the embeds.

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

No! For a free-balled design- it looks fantastic! I love it; it looks like if someone had just added a blue-dyed cream to the top of a Blue Heaven thickshake!

[@Hobeedaze]

Love the shimmer top!! This would make a great water/pond with a Lilypad or water lilly theme soap!

[@elvirayoutube1630]

I made soap today with 2 friends- and now here you are with a new soapvideo. Great to end a good day. 🥰

[@annalookiwi]

I honestly LOVE how light the top layer is. For being a "blueberry milk" it makes me think of blueberry latte vibes. And oh my GOODNESS that sparkle me blue on top!! Ahaaaa!!!! It reminds me of one of those Instagram [and I assume tiktok] tubs of slime and I just wanted to dip my hands in it lol forbidden fun as always. But love the design! I think if anything the uniqueness is fun, flat layers would be too bleh. So if not this then maybe some light texturing to keep it organic feeling 😊 also love that you share such amazing messages with the internet. Your positivity always brightens my day and keeps the one stand of sanity I have remaining in tact 😂😂

[@melissajohnson6501]

I love the top! It looks like a cold foam dripping through!

[@mountainriversoapworks3674]

They are perfect as is, but, I can understand wanting to tweak them a little if they don't perfectly match your vision. As always, you have a beautiful design and a wonderful video. Thank you for inspiring me to make soaps too! I've been at it since you put out the safety video about Lye. ❤

[@peepla7]

This is brilliant! I once made a soap based on my tomato basil soup that had a dollop of sour cream. It was spicy red, white, green and dark orange.

[@CherryGryffon]

I fully subscribe to the life motto of "What will be, will be". Whatever the soap turned out as, that's what it was meant to look like! (I do the same with my own art :D)

[@rachelgilbert3164]

The only thing I would change about the design is making the blue a little more periwinkle-ish instead of the truer blue that it is right now. Blueberries are almost lavender when put into a smoothie! Lovely design 🫐

[@bjg4002]

BRAVO Mrs.Royal almost 1 million subs while keeping your clothes on!! BRAVO!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@heatherbrewington5362]

It looks like a blueberry drink with a blueberry cold foam on top. I Love it exactly as it is.

[@lilybingham3031]

Okay I actually love the gloopiness of the layers, the drippy design looks amazing!

[@Rose-jz6sx]

The affordable luxury thing is so real. Groceries are so expensive now and rent and electricity... I mean my cheap and cheerful biscuits and sweets that I'd get with my monthly shopping are things I have to forgo now. And like, thats not the end of the world. But I'm living off my storecupboard and frozen food stash so that I can postpone my grocery shop for a couple of weeks which is fine and I'm lucky to be able to do that, but it's still scary to see the store cupboard staples running out. I can't buy anything extra right now much and all as I really value things like nice soap and small luxuries. It's so nice to know that sellers get that.

[@willow_song2596]

I appreciate you making sure that people of all price ranges can have access to quality soap. I have sensitive skin, so I can't go simply with every sort of soap on the market. Knowing how my soap was made and what was used in it is a huge factor for me.

[@zovjraar]

Omg thank you SOOOOOO much for letting people know that not everyone can easily afford hand made soap! I grew up with my mum putting water in our shampoo to make it last longer, and survived on cereal, pb & j, and spaghetti in my 20' s. I'm so lucky to be able to buy nice things for myself, but I will never forget what it was like to be poor.

[@firdowskruger9896]

Hi Katie Please don't forget to show us your packing and behind the scenes. And you gonna enjoy your 30's so don't panic. Sending love and hugs from Pretoria, South Africa.

[@jessicarosen7650]

My 3 year old had had to do breathing treatments this last week and your videos have been my saving grace! She asks to watch “cake and ice cream” every time. 😂 Your videos are perfect treatment length, too!

[@smoxthybweh]

Looks like a mountain with rain pouring down

[@drensh5665]

Predictably is no fun i love the surprise that comes with the something unpredictable

[@jillcochran9794]

I love the design of this soap!! I also love how thoughtful you are to others!! 💙🩵

[@annwitten4359]

The top layers dripping looks like the blob drips we get when pulling your nail polish wand out of the bottle!! I LOVE your soaps and I’m definitely buying this one!! 💙🫐🍃

[@shavonnerichardson2317]

I love your personality. You don’t take yourself too seriously. Thank you, it’s a joy to watch you.

[@Rose_Blue87]

it looks like water-splashes in the soap, I like it

[@allyruiz4256]

Katie is the best! Thank you for thinking about the consumer.

[@actually_acactus5965]

I love the bottom layers, they look so feathery, the top layer maybe needs to be played around with, but i love the bottom 2 layers

[@jessanewell9452]

I absolutely love how dedicated you are to making high quality soaps and content, while being the kindest person and humanitarian ❤️❤️ I’ve been watching you for at least 6 years and I finally was able to buy some of your soap, it’s absolutely amazing stuff!

[@karatheyaroxan6852]

I love this design, cute fruity and a little simpler.

[@AScatteredDream]

Keep it! It’s so pretty!

[@dawnback5333]

Girl, you are such a treat to watch. I love this soap, change it don't change it, it's pretty and I would buy it no matter what!

[@yoshieee8142]

The textures look so cute! Though the colors reminded me, my sis and I LOVE Bluey, I feel like that's something you'd love to watch too if you haven't! If you make a cartoon dog/full Bluey inspired set that'd be SO fun!

[@CandaceJensen-iq7vx]

I think you should keep this design, I love it! Very cool 😎

[@MerchNerd]

That technique would look really good for an street art or modern art soap.

[@Amber-zc3xj]

I love this soap design! I think this would be a great method to make some drink themed soaps. Imagine a root beer float soap with the top color as the foam and a little ice cream scoop embed!

[@lindsaywolf8455]

Blue is my color. I'm really excited for this soap. 💙

[@nubecaoticaYT]

Favorite color 🤍🫐

[@nariu7times328]

I am always in awe how you make different kinds of layers, getting certain looks. I love watching the process.

[@amandakelley1331]

35 was a banner year for me. I feel like it was a turning point in a great way

[@suebutzer8394]

As a soapmaker myself, I’d say keep the design. I love it!

[@everythingemily30]

I found you a few years ago and ever since I've been slowly acquiring soap making supplies including your soap frosting kit (amazing value for the money)

[@NaomiDollxoxo]

Oooooooohhhhhhh fantabulous!

[@grace_the_raptor]

Oh my gosh! Keep it I LOVE that soap design! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@laevateinn4144]

15:11 I'm sad because of the two leaves that are sinking into the soap :< I love the color combo, it looks so goooooood

[@rhondag6635]

That actually looks like mountain look at it differently Katie beautiful

[@angel_vii]

I love this design as is! The lighter top layer looks like frosting or some kind of frothy blueberry milk at the top of a yummy summer drink! Keep it! ❤

[@99megrob]

I love this soap. It's perfect the way it is.

[@Little.MissDiagnosed]

Keep this style! Dr Suess soap!

[@skyydancer67]

That's a good design anf it adds interest. I think it's a keeper. You can also do an actual ghost swirl (similar concept but you would vary the water amounts of each layer instead of the color).

[@tranquilcottageknits1422]

I LOVE THE DRIPPY LOOK OF THE TOP LAYER. OMG so pretty!!!

[@amandam2553]

I really love this design, I hope you keep it! 💙🫐

[@christamurray1852]

It’s great the way it is

[@annathiika5755]

The cutest PPE is the PPE that keeps you safe!!

[@LynnGryphon]

I love that design, it's feels drippy and watery and I adore that

[@RachaelLink]

I love the splash effect. ❤ I'm not a soap maker, so this may not be a good idea. If there's something specific you were going for, you could blend the lye into each layer separately so it's easier to work with. I dont know if it will work, but I've seen Lisa from I Dream in Soap do that.

[@lynnball09]

I love the drops! And I like the lighter top too

[@NgocLe-1711]

I’m so glad you’re trying to keep your prices down❤. I remember one time at the supermarket check out an old lady in front of me was going to have to return the bar of soap because if she had bought the soap she wouldn’t be able to pay for the rest of her groceries (It was just a mass produced generic bar of soap). A nice person paid for her so the story ends well😊 So yes, soap is an affordable luxury for alot of people but not all.

[@Wolfattwilight6986]

These bars look cool af!! U should keep it! I love em. 💙

[@PK-oy4fe]

Thank you for acknowledging those of us on strict budgets! I used to work 110 OT hours /month on average. I made 6 figures and had money for "goodies," although I usually donated to my local women's shelter and foodbank. What I didn't expect was to be disabled and battling both cancer and lupus at the same time. I love your videos and can support you by watching...and possibly an occasional purchase if I'm lucky.😇❤️

[@bethanygleason8974]

I love the wild, unpredictable design!

[@kirbylove358]

It looks like a cartoon cave with water dripping down. Not necessarily the theme, but it's worth keeping!!

[@laurelsketches_]

I love the design of the swirls, but maybe adjust the amount of white for the top layer to match the others a little better 🥰

[@paigescorpion7946]

Blueberries & cream was the first soap I bought from you....YEARS ago!! I think you were in the shed or garage & were wearing the coveralls. Still probably my favorite soap...or the caramel pear!! That scent was amazing!! Will definitely be getting one of these. Maybe some lotion too??!! I like the design as is. I think the difference in the drops looks really cool...thinner to thicker drops.

[@peepla7]

That's a beautiful blue

[@indeabennett4725]

This is one of my favorites this year and I don't even like blue berries lol. I say keep it!!

[@amberscotch]

I really like how it turned out, it's like a drippy glaze on a cake

[@elisabethkarlsen3370]

It would be cool if you did another video trying to use as many leftover embeds as possible. The technique you did in this video would be a cool ombre effect.

[@susybutler5629]

I had a similar feeling about turning 30. I felt like I should be concerned or something about it, but i wasn’t. And the decade of my 30s was so great, as far as feeling more confident about who I am. Great years, and also I love this soap!

[@TheCandiceCarter]

I love it as is. It reminds me of milk cake.

[@juju88221]

I love it as you made it!! Don’t change a thing

[@Kelsylynn]

I just checked out your new website and I throughly enjoy the new under $10 section! Such a great idea. Everyone deserves such beautiful products! And makes it easy to purchase gifts for people you like but don’t know well, teachers, aunts, etc. thank you!

[@firephoenix8892]

Katy, you should try gardening sleeves! I heard about them from a fellow homesteader, and have been considering getting a set for soaping too!

[@shaydelady1508]

Keep it!! Those are FANTASTIC!!!

[@CandaceJensen-iq7vx]

And those are so beautiful! Love all your creations! 🤩

[@zessonateacloud]

This color trend never came across my page but it's pretty. The bar turned out cute. Maybe a really minimal hanger swirl could help with the look?

[@judevicious3333]

1:20 I saw some cute arm covers with moon phases and octopus on them period not sure if those are protective enough. I'm not sure what type of material you need but if you look them up, they are pretty cute

[@lanasinapayen3354]

I use your 3 wise kings soap every day these days! (Yes I'm slow at using them...)

[@lesliewedig8305]

I like it! Keep em unpredictable

[@meloniebush9240]

I love the drip in the layers much more than the flat layers 🙂

[@annabennett5045]

I agree iv been watching you for years wishing I could afford some I love your videos
