I have had a couple issues with wholesale customers rebranding my products. I don't do private/white labelling. I have started stamping my soaps which is helping quite a bit. The soap you custom designed is beautiful. I have completely redesigned my packaging. While I love my glass jars for whipped soaps and sugar scrubs, I am considering going to plastic- or preferably an environmentally friendly option. Shipping glass containers gets expensive!

[@homairavigo_0727]

I have 2 cats and dog and other pets in the house and they don't touch them at all. I do have poinsettia ( Pascua ) the same ones for years. They start losing their leaves around February March but they're not dead. They will grow new fresh leaves and they will be ready for the next the next holiday. A lot of people think they are dead and throw them away. 🙄 Quick facts Poinsettias bloom when the days get shorter. The colorful “flowers” of poinsettias are actually modified leaves called “bracts.” Poinsettias grow well in moist soil and temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees F. They can be grown outdoors during summer. Poinsettias are not poisonous.

Your soap 🧼 bars are gold ! At least I treat them like they are , ok so Cale should do a cooking vlog always looks so yummmmmy😊

[@calezimmerman2435]

😮 🤔… interesting idea!!

[@danaspetrini8338]

I love the salad kits! throw a protein in there and its perfect!!! Thanks for the BTS on your process.

[@millyjays]

could you do a video talking about more with selling wholesale? like how does it work?what do you charge? how does the paperwork go? how do you get wholesale sales? That would be awesome!

[@jaimeansell1885]

I felt some solidarity with you all. I also work past dinner to get it all done.

[@donnaflorek2697]

Love this video! I watch you on the train on the way to my Day Job in NYC! Soap is still a hobby mostly for me. Very nice to see the different cuts of meat you cook! I've never made lamb.

[@hbrunet72]

Poinsettia plants do live beyond Christmas ... my aunt had one for 4 years before her death a few years back. You just have to maintain its care. it will lose it's pretty bloom, but will rebloom again come next Christmas!

[@SteadfastTrailFarm]

Always a great video ☺️ I am exhausted (good kind) from wholesale and restocking product! This is motivating! Thanks!! ~jc

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yes this time of year is always crazy!

[@tanyabonnett7787]

Cale does an amazing job of cooking meals, well done for being such a great husband and support for you Jerika. Your a lucky lady.

[@rockynuisance]

With care,you CAN cultivate Pointsettia for next year!

[@theresavandever1387]

You are correct in your pronunciation of poinsettia but almost everyone pronounces it the way Kalen said it.

[@lindaadams5124]

wow your man does the washing I am so jelly mine sits on the couch and that is it

[@Stjernenbaby]

I watch your videos on my PlayStation so I don’t usually comment but I had to let you guys know you are so cute, your dogs are to die for! It’s so interesting to follow your journey. Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@PJWorthy]

Hey Jerika-I love that you share your non made up self / no make-up self with us. Makes me just love you guys more. Question-are all your body butters and scrubs in glass? You don’t use plastic? Happy Holidays!

[@corrylloyd6593]

I had a poinsettia for years. You have to give it some dark time to get red leaves again.. 😊

[@teresastarry-bussler7457]

Would you share your lip balm and body butter recipes?

[@sherryzimmerman9220]

Those should be Your Quench Bear Earrings…..dinner looked delicious…….

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thanks, mema!

[@meemawsangels]

I have a Poinsettia that is now blooming again after having it for a year. It loves the sunny window it is in, I live in Oregon

[@JerikaZimmerman]

This is so good to know thank you!

[@ariemzuluzulu7880]

Those are beautiful soaps! Where did you buy the shrink machine?

[@reneedelavega8484]

Hi Jerika. If you don't mind me asking, what is the height of your Winston and Walter tall and skinny mold? I love, love your videos. It's what I watch whenI need to unwind for the day. :-). take care you both. Hope to meet you one day.

[@reetarbo8840]

Have you ever thought of doing a makeup tutorial with the products you use?

[@lindaadams5124]

omg and he cooks

[@joy8041]

Great video where do u buy your package wrap for your soaps.?

[@hilaallnaturalsoaps9628]

Jerika, How do you ship your body butters in the summer ? I do not ship them during the hot season.

[@culturalobserver8721]

Did you find those wholesale customers or did they find you at a farmer’s market or on KZbin, and what tips can you give others in finding wholesale customers? One more thing: Did you make a (legal) contract with each of your wholesale clients?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Our wholesale customers all find us through our social media (Instagram, facebook, and KZbin). We don’t have an agreement as I see the wholesale order as a transaction that’s complete once we received the payment and we ship them their product .

[@magnoliagrovehomestead]

How is the new studio space working out for you guys? Anything you regret or would do different? I recently started construction on mine, it’s a separate structure from the house. Going to rewatch you’re setup and tour videos for more ideas 😊

[@JerikaZimmerman]

We LOVE it! I wish I had more table/counter space. I also want more shelves. You can never have too much shelving/ Storage space!

[@theresavandever1387]

You are so beautiful without your makeup. Your beautiful with it but there's something about a fresh and clean face without all the makeup that is just really very beautiful and you have that fresh face glow after a good night's sleep. Your just beautiful that's all!!

[@koributts5759]

I agree. You look much more beautiful and younger without make-up.

[@terrymanning9261]

Poinsettias are bad for cats just wanted to let you know. I love them too but my cat likes to chew on plants.

[@eileengraham2997]

I've been lucky with my cat. He sits in the window right in front of that plant and never bothers with it. I have 31 plants in my house, the only one he ever bothered was my Aloe.

[@calezimmerman2435]

That’s good to know, thanks for the advice! This definitely makes the decision easy not to get one!!

[@NaturalMackie]

And dogs too. I remember a coworker couldn’t take one home that we received as gifts from our boss because of her dog.

[@dreamcharon2048]

Jerika how did you find your wholesale customer? I would love to branch out and wholesale but I’m not sure how to go about it

[@PhanyPacker]

technically speaking you both are right on the pronounciation of poinsetta lol

[@JerikaZimmerman]

🤣

[@Victoria-br4yn]

Where did you get your lined molds?

[@natashagreen5385]

Hi Iv owned a business for the past 9yrs (just started back up after 2yrs health problems) and was wondering when you first started, we’re your orders really slow? And what were your steps to starting out.. I’m in Finley NSW Australia (rural town) What is your take on insurance ? Iv never had it but never had a problem (touch wood ) What did you use for product photos when you first started ? Camera type & website/App ? - I make Candles, Melts, Sample Melts, Massage Candles, magnesium lotion, individual soaps, Shower Gel, Hand wash, whipped body yoghurt, lip balm, solid perfume, various body balms (valentines, anniversary Special Massage Oil) Lip Scrub, Bath Milk.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I use my canon 6D DSLR with a 50 mm Lens for product photos ☺️

[@lemondew8138]

Great vlog 😊 I've definitely been interested in wholesale customers. I'm assuming you sell to them at 50% or 60%? Have you ever used custom packaging? Like custom packing tape, custom shipping boxes, printed tissue paper, etc?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yep! But the prices can very depending how on certain factors. Custom packaging is something we’re very much considering!

[@lemondew8138]

@@JerikaZimmerman I've been pricing out custom tissue paper and custom tape so far. It's a bit out of my budget for right now but I feel like it gives a very professional look

[@JerikaZimmerman]

@@lemondew8138 agreed ! Those touches do make a difference 😊

[@ShojiPanda]

Would you guys ever consider something like a discord server for your patrons?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yes! I am for sure wanting to make one! Stay tuned 😊
