[@Trish0978]

Also can confirm as someone who loves your Pack & Chats, I really do love them and sometimes even go back and watch old ones

[@moriversoap]

That's fantastic! Thank you!

[@CheyenneRose]

We need a Pack 'n Chat fan group! I find them so relaxing. Like ASMR of all the sounds I love the most. 💜

[@girlswear]

Or a pack and chat viewing party!!!!

[@moriversoap]

Thanks so much!

[@TheFeralFarmgirl]

I used to work for a company that did mail order. The boss would always get mad about the amount of tape I'd use to pack the boxes. They'd also buy the thinnest, crapiest tape because they wanted to save money. I didn't care. I packed it the same. We were shipping heavy items, and the boxes were often not the greatest, so it was often the tape that kept the boxes together. 😆

[@moriversoap]

I suspected that is what was happening. It just happens so often and it costs so much more to resend things. It doesn't make sense to me anyway.

[@catherinejakeman2710]

I I’m cooking dinner for my seven kids, chicken tacos and watching your package chat. Thank you Holly for doing them. I love listening to you while I clean and do other chores. It makes it go by much faster.😊

[@moriversoap]

That's fun! Thank you!

[@kimhaddon1270]

Not that MY opinion matters,but I dig the paper wrapped soap. IDK why, but it could be because I helped my momma run her soap store and thats how we did it... but yessss any video I see you post, I am quick to click! Really enjoy your content ❤

[@TessieDobey]

I like the paper also.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I am glad that you do. I will probably continue with it for a while longer at least.

[@ghostgirl6970]

Just got my package yesterday, smells sooooooooo good, can't wait to use them. That bubble paper is so cool, I saved it to use somewhere else.

[@moriversoap]

I'm so glad! Thank you bunches!!

[@TheLoveweaver]

I clicked so fast! Im happy your back ! I am hoping you are enjoying your new abode, and you and your family are doing well! Xx

[@moriversoap]

I'm so glad! Thank you!

[@curlsnthings853]

I love the soaps wrapped in paper, it’s like opening a little present. Prefer over the boxes and probably more eco friendly.😊

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I am glad that you do! It takes a little bit more work but it does reduce materials and the space to store them.

[@ShanRenSama]

I’m one of those people who love your pack and chats

[@moriversoap]

I'm so glad! Thank you!

[@juliel.bateson4971]

[@kezru1581]

Hi Holly!!! I love your labels, ive always thought they were beautiful and the purple tissue was a great choice, that shade is so pretty. I love pack and chats thanks so much, stay warm!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you bunches!

[@bytheSEAsoaps]

I just received my Figgy Cream soap for my birthday! Thank you Holly for such a lovely creamy soap. I too love the scent and the creamy bubbles galore. And the little gifts of stickers and Figgy Cream Bath Bomb are so nice and were so appreciated!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you so much! YAY!!

[@Trish0978]

ughhh you had so many things in this recent release that I wanted, but I'm on a budget rn so I'm just going to sit here and live vicariously through everyone else...

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@gourdingaround]

I love the pack in chats & cuttings & tours!!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Jodi! I can't wait to do a tour! We did buy the extra finishing supplies last night. So hopefully that will come sooner rather than later.

[@cliviascreations]

Good morning Holly, thank you so much. Those orders are beautiful and I love the long chatting videos. We all learn something or make us to remember something. Thank you

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Clivia! I think about you when filming because I know how much you enjoy the videos.

[@annkinney2043]

LOVE the Pack and Chat!!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Ann!

[@TessieDobey]

I LOVE WINTER! I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. I used to just sit outside at 20 degrees and soak in the cold and sun.

[@moriversoap]

Yes! 20 degrees in the NW/drier climates also feels much better than 20 degrees in humid areas.

[@serinamagick7192]

Love your pack and chat videos ❤ I live in Marion Montana and the cold snap that we had here was -66°F it was so cold the wood in my house was popping. It was so loud it scared my dogs. My husband said the he could hear the trees popping as well. On a good note hopefully that cold killed the bark beetles, and carpenter ants. Maybe even those yellow jackets. Sending much love to you and your family. 💜🙏🏻💜

[@moriversoap]

We are very close! The trees were popping here too. Our trailer popped once and it was so loud and our dogs started barking. The rain we're getting on the snow makes it so slick too. I love that we get more sunshine up here though than down in the valley with the inversions. Best to you and yours as well!

[@donnaclark9834]

You are so cheerful! I love it. New to watching a pack and chat but I dig it!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@Nancy-gl3zo]

I love the Pack and Chats. You have such a darling personality. I switched from Adobe products because it became so expensive and now use Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher. I'm glad I did! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I will look into the Affinity. My husband has been telling me I just need to get away from Adobe.

[@gourdingaround]

Illustrator is a layout program, so it is best to place your art into it to print labels. I love illustrator and do most my designs in it or I pull my art into it to finish. You always make beautiful labels. You have a gift for it!! ❤ I like the soap wrapped in paper and I see it as less waste. It does look to take more time to pack for you.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Jodi! Illustrator is such a pain but cool once learned. It definitely has it's purpose.

[@FranklyNaturalBeauty]

I love your pack and chat videos!❤

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@lball9975]

Thanks for the shout out Holly! I received my scrubs and they are fantastic!

[@moriversoap]

I am so glad. Thank you Lynn!

[@thepinkhippieco]

I like the name Sweet Milk 😊

[@moriversoap]

I am so glad! I was worried but it feels like it fits to me.

[@debbyflowers1488]

Thank you, nice video! I use a lot of tape on my packages, better too much than not enough!

[@moriversoap]

Thanks! It really is better in the long run.

[@DawnShipley1977]

I love the pack and chats.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Dawn!

[@evehsv5556]

I’m one of the loony tunes who love your pack n chats lol thanks Holly. ❤

[@moriversoap]

I'm happy you do!

[@raekelly5615]

Nice to have the pack and chat back :) Is there a scrub making video coming? I think those are my favourite

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I have plans to film one eventually but no plans in the next several weeks.

[@antheafewquandie7979]

those 3 colours you spoke of that you like would look beautiful in your soap Holly 😍

[@moriversoap]

They surely would! I made one a while back that was green, blue, and purple and it was so fun!

[@lindarichey4689]

Interesting that you started paper wrapping your soaps. They are cute

[@moriversoap]

Yeah, I started wrapping in paper when I cut my bar size in 2022 and was trying to reduce costs. Paper is still so much less expensive. We'll see!

[@juliamason8393]

I live in Florida where the temperature is 62 degrees right now. Our winters are usually pretty mild for us but sometime we do get down to freezing but it only lasts for hours not days.

[@moriversoap]

Yes for sure! I remember that.

[@barbaradesousa9122]

Love the Figgy Cream!!❤

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! It's the best!

[@Sooz3112]

Great video Holly. I use Avery labels, but I buy the full sheet which just has one label on it, I cut them to size using my paper guillotine x

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I have had to do that in the past as well, especially with circle labels.

[@DawnShipley1977]

That was such a big order for the figgy cream...15 bars...WOW!

[@moriversoap]

I had a several big orders. I am thankful my customers finally got what they wanted. WOO!

[@carolinek220]

I am using the regional box A’s until I run out of them because they are free. All you have to do now is punch in the dimensions as a 10 x 7 x 4 box. The caveat is you have to ship priority. Apparently you can’t ship a “Priority” designed box “ground”even though they discontinued the regional program. My little brain thought I could. I found this out the hard way when my customer’s order returned back to me. I am going to order some 10 x 7 x 4 boxes from Uline. That size works really well for me and they work for the cubic rate program.

[@moriversoap]

Yes, I tried to use a cube box as I call them. 7 x7 x 6.5 I think they were. But I shipped ground and they adjusted the price. Too bad yours came back, with my shipping program, they just adjust it and bill me the extra. The Priority is just so much more expensive nowadays. Buying the boxes are less expensive in comparison but we still have that added supply and expense.

[@Inspiremefineartisansoaps]

Lovely background ❤

[@moriversoap]

I love it!

[@michellevandermerwe2605]

I always enjoy your videos so much I love your voice. 🎉

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@rebeccaberg6677]

I enjoy your pack and chats. You said you’ll probably go back to the soap boxes instead of paper, is there a particular reason why? I like both, I’m just curious.

[@moriversoap]

Thanks! The wrapping just takes so much time compared to boxing. Additionally, the boxes give the soaps more protection in shipping. When they are boxed, the customer can also open it up, look and sniff the soap, and put it away until they are ready to use it. The paper just eliminates that part of the order receiving enjoyment.

[@moriversoap]

I love it!

[@sidanish9911]

Hi, can you please make a video on how to make labs and print them for those who are new to soap making and does not know how to make labs like myself 😂

[@moriversoap]

I am guessing you are talking about labels? I work my way through it but I wouldn't be a good person to learn from.
