Pack & Chat Part 2 | RAINBOW EXTRAVAGANZA 2020 | MO River Soap

[@moriversoap]

Hello everyone! Thank you for watching! I will have one more packing video coming up this week. At the point that I am writing this on Sunday the 16th, I have half of the orders packed. I anticipate that it will take me another four packing days to get caught up. I am working on restocks and Fall products and I hope to have our next release in mid-September.

[@moriversoap]

I have to reply with something to my own comment so that it will be removed from my 'I haven't responded' to feed. LOL

[@republican4u2nv78]

I just love these videos! Your husband seems like such a good guy not only helping you so much but going through the samples so that little girl got to try the soaps she missed out on ♥️💙

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! He is an amazing person!

[@orlandosabbath6320]

Holly, I find you to be so inspiring. I make soap myself, but I would like to strive to be more like you. Your passion with taking care of your customers is amazing. I love when your video notifications pop up, but I have to watch them in bed so no one will disturb me lol Please keep up the fantastic work.

Oooooo!!! I was so excited when I got the notification for this!!!😊

[@moriversoap]

Yay thank you Heather!

[@sprinkledcleansoapery]

It's so kind of you to give samples. The thought that goes into your packing doesn't go unnoticed.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@DaniellesMicoMarley]

i buy from you and royalty soaps. I can say by far your soap and packaging exceeds ...I used the confetti blossom today and I smelled so good. When I use royalty soaps i dont smell good after my shower and its always upsetting because my husband buys Sasquatch soap and he smells so fragrant when he comes out the shower. I think Im going to stick to buying from you now. shade all the way. sorry not sorry

[@number1pinkskull]

Omg lol currently going thru the exact same but I missed all the soaps for this release so hoping to catch the next.

[@DaniellesMicoMarley]

@@number1pinkskull really, awwww Im sorry you missed out, this was such an anticipated release too! did you set an alarm by chance?

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Dani! I am so happy you are loving the Confetti Blossom!

[@number1pinkskull]

Dani sadly I did but my ringer was off 🙃 and I missed it all because I took a nap but next time!!

[@Bumpkinisluvd]

I absolutely love pack and chats. Well, I absolutely love the soap making videos too. Hmmmm....I’m in a dilemma......🤔🤔 Ok, well, just keep doing what you do and how you do it! I live it all!!!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Dennell!

[@lisabc]

Holly, I enjoy your videos so much and I've learned a lot from them. Thank you for all the hard work you put into them.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Lisa!

[@Tribulation_Harvest]

I'm so glad you grabbed that last piece of wax to break up. It was left over from the previous slab and all I could do was to momentarily obsess over it and say, "I hope she notices she missed one so she can break it up before the video ends." Hahaha.

[@moriversoap]

I never really noticed it at all during the actual snapping...but I admit I got a little twitchy in the edit. I said to myself "oh please tell me you snapped that one." lol

[@moriversoap]

Also, the other day I made soap 'off video' and totally switched out my spatula so it would match the color that I was going to be using in that pitcher. I thought to myself "my goodness...what is happening to me?" lol

[@Tribulation_Harvest]

@@moriversoap There are times when I question your choice of spatulas when your mixing pigments into your soap. I'll be watching you put matching colored spatulas in the containers, but then get totally thrown off when you break that rhythm. I'll be like, "Why didn't she use the green spatula for the green pigment?"

[@tisayoung8546]

Tisa from Charlotte NC... I GOT MY BOX WOOOHOOO!

[@moriversoap]

Oh yay! Thank you! I hope you love it. :-)

[@theresavandever1387]

It's like to see how he makes the as you call it stretchy paper. I've always wondered how that done. Not too say I'm not enjoying watching the packing, i am but i am also curious about the stretchy paper and the shredding I'd like to see being made. Weird i know.

[@moriversoap]

I bet it's all just cutting and scoring by machines. It would be fun to see some manufacturing videos of that!

[@vaniaguillen9718]

What a lovely surprise at the end. I wouldn't say I'm into ASMR but I also wouldn't say I'm NOT into ASMR. Hope everything is ok with your dog.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Vania! Ha, I am the same way about ASMR things. I don't really search them out but can appreciate them nonetheless. Riggs is fine. He had to go to the vet (curbside drop off only, lol) and he checked out completely fine. He just needed some probiotics.

[@laurawatts6459]

Hope your pup is doing ok! I got my box yesterday and I’m so so so so so so happy! Melting the cotton candy ice cream melts as we speak! Thank you for all you do! You’re awesome. 🥳

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Laura! I'm so happy you are enjoying your order! Yes, Riggs is fine but we were worried for a few days. He had a full vet check up (drop off at vet and then a bath outside so no personal contact with covid in mind) and he checked out all clear. He just needed some priobiotics. :-) I said silly in the video but I don't know why because it wasn't silly. It was very stressful and we're happy he's feeling better.

[@mlangelfire268]

Yes! ASMR wax brittle! That would be an amazing video! 20 min to a half hour of snapping brittle and then moving it around on the tray❤ So soothing.... Thanks for everything u do Holly!

[@ModernSouthernBelle]

Same!!! I would watch that forever!!

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I am happy you enjoyed it!

[@Jelly4rm904]

She packs the hell out of her packages! I guarantee you that nothing arrives broke. I love it!

[@nancykelly9712]

OMG you've worked so very very hard on everything!! A soaper can really see how much work you've put into all your releases especially this one offering so many different products! I'm very happy for you it went so well!! Hugs! 😍💞

Thank you bunches Nancy!

[@melindaduncan3073]

I do love Twiggy too! I watched a couple of her videos today too. Your notification came up and I clicked on right away. I just love the whole rainbow extravaganza!

[@moriversoap]

She's the best! Thank you Melinda!

[@melindaduncan3073]

Missouri River So are you!

[@Ha_kik]

I am looking for your Making Cotton Candy Wax Brittle video. Has it been removed from your channel?! It was my favourite video!

[@moriversoap]

KZbin changed some policies earlier this year so we decided to remove some of the previous wax videos.

[@speedysweetheartflamewolf6]

An idea to help with samples... Each sample gets their own shade of color. Make a legend for each color...? Ie rainbow extravaganza has its own legend. Other sets have their own legend so it's easier to find the samples by looking for the color instead of the name

[@moriversoap]

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't usually stack them like that but never changed it. Haha!

[@speedysweetheartflamewolf6]

@@moriversoap any time. It was a thought that came to me as you were trying to quickly find a different soap

[@shannong2014]

I could listen to you snap brittle for a whole video. So satisfying!

[@moriversoap]

That's fun! Thank you!

[@tealishpixel6642]

I love that you have a purple pen!! I know purple is ur favorite color.

[@moriversoap]

Purple is my favorite for sure!

Thanks!

[@nicolebarrett777]

Congrats on another successful release! I've got a question.. you guys do a rainbow extravaganza pretty much every year, and I've watched all of your videos. You also launch this release around Pride month, I'm wondering if you support the LGBTQ+ community? You made a "Worthy" soap for blm and featured rainbow & skin tone colors. You haven't mentioned the LGBTQ+ in any of your videos but you do a rainbow extravaganza.. Just curious, I know I would make me feel much better about buying from you guys if you were! Thanks ♥️♥️

[@moriversoap]

The point of #WORTHY was to send a message of love, equality, and inclusivity for all. That being said, the Rainbow Extravaganza is not a pride-specific event. I make rainbow products all year long because I adore rainbows. The Rainbow Extravaganza is an epic event in which all of my rainbow soaps are available at one time with accompanying rainbow products. This was only the second time I've done it and the first was in September of 2018.

[@Leahsluxuryaromas]

Holly I'm loving these endings! Just so delightful to see your video notification appear on my phone Hun! 💕

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Leah! I am happy you are enjoying them!

[@sallirobinson2907]

Hi Holly, not only do I enjoy watching the soap making and chat and pack videos...I have to own up to also loving the asmr vibes you give off. I listen to 2 very popular asmr You Tubers, but yours ranks along with them. XxxX

[@moriversoap]

Oh wow! Thank you Salli!

[@saracalderas84]

[@Brightwatereq]

I kept my eye out to buy a rainbow soap!! My daughter has been dying for one bar. Then I look and you have 3 pack and chat videos, which is when I realized the soaps have been released!! I been looking on the site regular and never saw them “available”. Hopefully I can snag a rainbow soap next year if you make another series of it.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you for trying. Everything sold so fast!

[@loreeshine1196]

I'm watching because I want to see all the stuff I missed..so sad that everything sold out so quickly and I was there as soon as the release was live.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you Loree! Ugh, I'm so sorry! I wish I could have had tons for everyone!

These are SO pretty! I'll have to make sure I catch the next release.

[@codybrookehanson2346]

Hi Holly, I have a bit of a long winded question. I made a couple of soaps with frozen, whole fat coconut milk and water with my lye solution. I did it slowly and in an ice bath but couldn't get the temp down so I left it in of my AC. The fat saponified, but some stick blending fixed that, it didn't smell scorched so I used it. The soap has been in my freezer for 18 hours now, it looks ok except there's some dark yellow areas (I used Rose kaolin clay, activated charcoal and activated charcoal with titanium dioxide for a gray color, so yellow shouldn't be there) again, no bad smell. Does that sound like scorching? Next question, how soon after preparing this lye solution do I have to use it? Can I make it a day in advance or does that spoil it? I searched this and cannot find an answer anywhere. I know you use coconut milk a lot so I had hoped you'd have some ideas for me. Thanks!

[@moriversoap]

Hello! Did you strain the solution when adding it to the oils? If you don't strain it, you can get orange spots from those saponified fats. As far as yellowed areas, I'm not quite sure...but the batch just sounded a bit wonky I'm afraid. If you are using milk in your solution, I would recommend using it right away. I do use coconut milk a lot but I don't think I've ever made a full milk lye solution with it. :-)

[@codybrookehanson2346]

@@moriversoap Yes I did strain it and kinda mixed it around as I did so, now it's been about a week and the yellow is gone? It's still a teensy bit soft on the bottom. I don't know what happened, it does sound like it went a little wonky though. I had a feeling that using it right away would be best out of fear of spoiling. I was just wondering if there was a way to masterbatch with the milk - I think I'm going to stick to more basic lye solutions for a little while :) Thanks for your assistance!
