Hey! You mentioned me! Thank you so much for putting the Go Fund Me link in your description, that's so kind of you. As the video played on I was more and more happy to hear what you were saying! Holly, you're wonderful. Thank you again. Here's to your business thriving in 2024 and beyond. Keep going girl xxxx

[@moriversoap]

Thanks so much Tiggy! I hope this year looks up for all of us!

[@irishlinda]

All your lovely hard work, beautiful colours of soap & bath bombs and lovely packaging is beautiful.. I'm from Ireland and I just love all your lovely videos..💕

[@moriversoap]

Thank you so much!

[@Bumpkinisluvd]

Absolutely love your pack and chats, as well as your making soap/products videos. It’s a bit ASMR since you have such a calming voice and demeanor. ❤️ I recently repurchased, and was excited to come to work today with your soap delivery on my grooming table. 🥰 Thank you for what you do, and the wonderful products you provide. ~ Denell

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Denell! I hope you love your order!

[@Leahsluxuryaromas]

Holly, please make more videos like this, seeing your home getting build is so exciting especially when it’s you guys building it as a family, Tiggy & Matt are Amazing holly, such a lovely couple, there soap & pottery businesses are beautiful, I especially love Tiggy KZbin channel as well & now Matt is joining her! 💜

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Leah!

[@shellygilman3764]

I agree, printers are always a pain! Sometimes I want to jump on and print one quick label, nope that is the day the printer decided to not recognize my laptop and pretend like it has never printed anything...ever. I just wanted 1 quick label!

[@moriversoap]

That is exactly what happens!

[@Nancy-gl3zo]

Holly, you are such a delightful person. I absolutely love your videos.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Nancy!

[@futureprimitivesoap]

Hey Holly! Nice to see you. I'm in my bath again haha xx

[@moriversoap]

Haha! I love that Tiggy!

[@SharonE83]

Yay!! I'm excited to use all my goodies. Everything smells so good!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you so much!

[@davidahandcraftsoap]

Thank you so much for the impromptu video Ms. Holly.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you for watching Ms Andrea! I hope you are well!

[@mbalimbongwe2685]

I LOVE YOUR WORK 😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@moriversoap]

Yay! Thank you!

[@MUSICLOVERGIGGLES]

I love this video. Thank you Holly. I hope we can see the cut on the Tulip soap.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I cut it yesterday and don't love it. 😬

[@MUSICLOVERGIGGLES]

@@moriversoap Oh, no. Sorry. I knew you were excited about it.

[@juliamason8393]

Try Avery for printing your things you need printed. You do all the design work online and save it online at Avery without charge.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I have tried Avery but love Adobe. They just don't love me back. LOL

[@tassiegirl1991]

Wow precision cutting of that board over the window perfect fit. Looking great Holly. But different to what I was thinking about log cabin. Thinking round logs. You are so lucky to have a practical husband. What an amazing setting for a home. Cant wait to see the finished product just like your soaps. All best.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! The logs we are using are milled and kiln dried. Oddly enough, they came out of TN but unfortunately, we weren't able to find kiln-dried logs out here. The kiln-dried is so much better because the logs won't shrink, twist, and settle as much in the coming years. Plus, no chinking!

[@joywilson8483]

Thank you Ms. Holly for sharing. God bless you!!!!!!!!!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Joy!

[@user-mu9fs6zu4g]

thankyou

[@CharlenePink-Dufresne]

Still so happy you're back. 😊I was wondering if you saw Tiggy's video when she mentioned you, and then I saw her post. Your new log home looks amazing, great job guys.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Charlene!

[@jobeck7606]

I love making a vintage soap recipe that has Manteca, rose water, and lemon EO in it!

[@moriversoap]

That sounds fantastic Jo!

[@charlotteq8460]

So LOVE a good Holly pack and chat!!! Great to be able to keep up with all your doings in Montana :) Thank you for sharing! Love the story of you and your husband :) The cabin looks amazing, what a fantastic job they're doing!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I'm so glad you loved the video!

[@henhousebathco]

I always love the pack and chats! Loving my crema y cacao soap! And yes, printers are from the devil! 😂

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Laurisa! Maybe they're even possessed by the devil! LOL

[@bytheSEAsoaps]

Lovely packaging! I love using Lard in my soaps because it keeps the lard out of the land fill. Another reason is that it makes luxurious soap imo!

[@lindarichey4689]

So lovely

[@moriversoap]

Very nice!

[@moriversoap]

@lindarichey4689 Thank you!

[@SteadfastTrailFarm]

I just finished watching Tiggy's video where she mentioned you and then I saw you has a new packaging video and you mentioned her ❤️🤣☺️

[@moriversoap]

That's so fun! Thank you!

[@lisabc]

What a treat! Breakfast & coffee with Holly's Pack & Chat!

[@moriversoap]

Thanks so much!

[@tammywillgohs5514]

You do pack a pretty box!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@sarahcook9935]

Hey! Holly, there's so much going on ! I was quite content watching , and then u mixed it up by showing your dogs! I LOVE dogs. ❤️. U lost me. Lol. Thanks as ever. X

[@moriversoap]

Thanks so much Sarah! I am nutty about my dogs...as you can tell. LOL

[@lasumrell]

You have GOT to give us a tour when your home is done! I can't wait! It's going to be beautiful.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I hope I can do one!

[@thenerdyleopard4893]

Love these videos and all the new products! Where did you get the biodegradable cups for the wax melts? They are so cute! Thank you Holly, your videos, voice and stories always make me smile : )

[@moriversoap]

Thanks! I bought them on Amazon. Look up biodegradable cups. You can search condiment cups, soup cups, ice cream cups, etc.. Lots of options!

[@ikindred]

So happy to see you back in the swing of things and recording. Sales have been down, but they are starting to get better, thank goodness

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Ingrid! I just love everything. I'm glad to hear that sales are starting to pick up.

[@kezru1581]

Hi Holly, thank you for the pack and chat, I enjoyed your story. Everything looks so beautiful as your work always does. Have a lovely week 😊

[@moriversoap]

Thank you bunches!

[@user-us1se8mc7l]

Lovely to enjoy your chat and pack again and wow, that cabin wall thickness is impressive! Should keep you very warm in winter 😍

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I sure hope so!

[@tanyabonnett7787]

Another wonderful Pack and Chat once your customers find out your back I'm sure the orders will come flooding in. I love watching Tiggy's videos too.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Tanya! I've been back since December but it does seem like it's taking a while for word to get out.

[@jaynegodwin3412]

Love your videos Holly expecially your pack and chat.Your soap's look so creamy and luxurious ,love the rabbit bath bomb. Thank you for sharing how you and your husband met. Wow your house is going to be lovely and such a beautiful view as well.😊xx

[@moriversoap]

Thank you so much!

[@brittg3600]

Can’t wait to see MORE updated videos on your cabin/property build!!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Unfortunately, the log cutting saw just died. So now we wait until later this week to continue. So sad because it's going to be 65 and sunny today!

[@jankates1274]

That was fun! Thank you for sharing your love story with us ❤

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@Southphxgal2023]

Love the property video at the end. Great job! Please continue to show us how things are going.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I sure will!

[@Sooz3112]

Oh, your home is coming along beautifully. I think it's great that you're building it yourselves. The products look amazing. I love how you pull your labels through the slot in the basket - great tip ;) x

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I was pretty excited when I realized that would work for the label. Haha!

[@Sooz3112]

@@moriversoap I print all of my product labels in Avery....they print beautifully x

[@803trends]

Love your pack n chat videos,Holly. The story of you and the hubby was so sweet. Soaping is so saturated anymore. Prices are sky-high for supplies. I hope things get better for you. Beautiful collection. I hope oneday you can get back to where you were in your soap business. I still watch your videos, lol. I am a Navy wife from Jacksonville Fla. My first hubby was military. We were really young. Top Gun original movie days 1980's.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! We loved Jacksonville but thought we should come back to KC to be around family. Wish we hadn't!

[@aquariusbathandbody]

I love watching your soap-making videos, your soaps look so lovely and creamy. How nice of you to give a shout-out to Tiggy. I love watching Tiggys soap making videos too. I love the story about how you and your husband got together, how sweet.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! Tiggy is just the best!

[@aquariusbathandbody]

@@moriversoap I agree, I love her soap making videos as much as I love watching yours x

[@bytheSEAsoaps]

Love your videos Holly no matter the subject! The little sample egg bombs are so darling, the shape of the pointy end vs the rounded end is perfectly shaped. Currently enjoying your peppermint tallow soap. Luxury in a bar!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! The Peppermint Tallow soap is my daughters favorite!

[@JenniferDoRego]

That was awesome! thanks for the video on a Monday morning 🙂

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Jennifer!

[@melissapeterson4202]

Love the story you shared of meeting your husband ❤ thanks for the video!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Melissa!

[@debbiesaulnier3101]

Such a sweet story! Made my day!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Debbie!

[@jeniajohnson8589]

❤i really enjoyed this down to earth get to know you video!! Makes me feel like just one of the girls!! Ive Been trying to get my husband to agree with a Fresh start in Montana as well and I don't know much about nothing out west and was wondering where is a good mountain scenery region with plenty of acerage?? I'd love to build and plop a home right in the middle of 50-100 acres!!

[@moriversoap]

Thanks so much! To get that kind of acreage (unless you're a gazillionaire) you're going to have to look at parts of the state with flat land and not forested areas. We're up in Flathead County but we had hoped to be in Lake County originally. If you have Indigenous blood, you might have good luck in Lake County. My husband recommends the channel called Living in Montana.

[@jeniajohnson8589]

@@moriversoap you're very welcome & thanks for the recommendation!

[@kerryhughes5321]

Ms Holly yay so happy pack and chat ❤❤ well missed all this

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Kerry!

[@girlswear]

Love your pack and chat, never click so fast! The gibberish you’re getting from the print is a postscript issue but it sounds like the file is corrupted. Make sure your printer drive is up to date. Check the font as well - Try changing the font into a different one and print test it. Or try to export to PDF with embedded fonts then print.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you and I will try those options!

[@PJWorthy]

Holly, don’t just push the cutter lever down. Push a little bit toward the platform of the cutter. That should fix the wonkiness.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I'm pretty sure I do that already but I'm going to pay more attention!

[@natyc81]

❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@NorseButterfly]

Your house is going to be soooooo pretty!❤ How many square feet will it be?

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Brenda! It will be about 1800 ft once the second story goes on. The second story will only be on half so the living room and kitchen will have 25 ft ceilings. We have a full storage basement below. We don't plan to finish it because it's only 6 foot clearance. But it's going to be awesome for storage.

[@lynaustin3484]

Holly, it hurts my heart to hear the stress in your voice- I'm so sorry costs have surged but sales slowed down. I wish I could fix everything for you 💕

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Lyn! I appreciate that. It's been hard since 2022. I wasn't going to come back but I do need income of some sort and I'd rather make soap than work at McDonald's or something. But it is even slower than I expected.

[@Angiebaby-uh8zx]

Have you ever sent soap to the uk? Is it expensive?xx

[@moriversoap]

I used to ship to the UK a lot. It is rather expensive. I don't ship there currently because I don't have the proper registration.

[@Angiebaby-uh8zx]

@@moriversoap thank you x

[@Trish0978]

Honestly, despite the fact that y'all moved states theoretically a while ago, it really hasn't been THAT long all things considered. Building a house from scratch isn't exactly a quick process; especially since y'all have weather concerns, location/accessibility concerns (it's not like you live 5 blocks from the store and on flat ground that's free of obstructions), aren't working with a full crew or on a normal full-time work schedule, AND got your soap studio up and running first *shrug*

[@moriversoap]

That's all very true. We just lost a week of working because the switch failed on that big log saw. Amazon takes a week to get here and it's almost impossible to get anything locally. So we have that in hand again and hopefully can get back to work!
