Mahogany & Amber - A Modern Holiday Cold Process Soap | Royalty Soaps

[@katelillo1932]

“This green is my favorite color in this palette” - that’s funny, because she doesn’t like gree- “So take that, people who think I don’t like green!” 😂😂😂 dead.

[@poliscileahguzman6084]

I heard so much love in the way you talked about Caleb. Mentioning his likes and dislikes, how he inspired this soap, and gave you ideas, what he was like when you met him. Its very beautiful.

[@stevejenks9940]

This soap looks great! I also can't hear "Bob Ross" without thinking of Paul Blart and Ted Bundy now hahaha

[@tiffanyandrade2705]

Such a blessed video that was!

[@para-diceranch5648]

Me too!! 😂😂😂😂

[@dragon6irl]

Oh my gosh I'm still laughing about that 😂

[@sarassoap]

I understand when Katie says it’s a modern look for this soap because everything vintage and the neutral colors are coming back in trend big time. I remember when I was a teen modern meant crazy neon colors. :) this is so much more relaxing. Looks like Swiss military colors. Great for men for sure

[@revinaque1342]

Yes! I also remember when "modern" meant metallic with sharp geometric angles. Lol

[@sarassoap]

@@revinaque1342 exactly ! And the geometric patterns as well! The neon tubes the pop art. So crazy thinking about it isn’t it? And at that time „future“ looked so different than what now is the future of then.

[@revinaque1342]

@@sarassoap So true! I thought we'd go full minimalist--lots of white with some stainless steel accents. I never in a million years would've imagined vintage and cottagecore as the aesthetic of 2020 😄

[@nnekachapman8336]

Step by Step and Family Matters were at the height of they're success, and there wasn't enough room in the year book for all of the high hairstyles...🤣💖😂

You should try to recreate the “Draco Malfoy” scent, mahogany apple.

I don’t trust anything Pennywise says.

[@emmagroeneveld1512]

The amount of people that came into my store (bath and bodyworks) looking for that candle was insane haha. I had no idea it was a tik tok thing until someone told me. So many calls about it too.

[@Dr.Shacklez]

Yessssssss

[@RadicallyDark]

👋🏻👋🏻

[@Rachel-ip4um]

This is exaaaaaaaaaaaaaaactly my kinda color palette AND fragrance profile. Guess I'm about to try and buy my first Royalty Soap!

[@katbland9149]

Pausing the video to say I LOVE THIS TOP!!! When it was just swirled i thought theres no way its going to look better textured, then you did the half and blew my mind! I was thinking noooo leave it like that then... you did the other side and i fell in love. that is amazingly creative! I'm a soaper as well and i want to so badly try that out now. i know it won't look THIS perfect but I would have never thought to do that. ahh, the inspiration QUEEN!

[@spacepirating]

Over the garden wall is such a wonderful comforting television show, especially in the autumn!

[@katieoneill7808]

Right?! How can a show be simultaneously so comforting and also so unsettling at times?

[@gingeelise]

I like watching Gilmore Girls as a sleepy show.. There are arguments but nothing truly bad happens. Plus I've seen it soooo many times already that I don't really need to concentrate.

[@christine-joylovepaper3146]

Same!! It’s my comfort food show and I go to sleep to it all the time

[@revinaque1342]

That's exactly how I feel about The Big Bang Theory 😄

[@rachelscott8370]

It’s 1am so time to overshare with internet strangers. I’m having major physical anxiety symptoms and I needed something chill to watch. Very thankful for Katie’s chill vibes and regular uploads.

[@xingcat]

My Mom was watching "Call the Midwife" and so I started, and it's very cozy and comfy, unless you happen to be pregnant, where I could see it might bring up worries (since it's all about midwives in the 50s and 60s).

[@jeffreym68]

It got pretty serious pretty fast, and I was afraid of what was coming so I stopped watching. Maybe I could give it another try, with a glass of wine just in case.

[@jesser24]

One of my favorite shows of all time! I started watching it while I was pregnant. It made me feel such a connection to the characters.

[@thebadpoet]

Call the Midwife is amazing! It has some very intense moments but it isn’t melodramatic or overly cruel. I do cry nearly every episode, but usually while saying “whhyyyy am I crying right now?” because it’s either just inspiring or poignant or actually sad. It’s a fabulous show

[@TheNoteblockLizard]

3:14 ... Oh my! Katie's ghost has appeared briefly in the oils! Strangely enough, I can actually still lip read you while upside down in there XD

[@alyssawolf7511]

Could you see her little goggles? lol

[@quasinanners267]

She actually has insect eyes. Who knew?

[@justkibby5959]

I take gift shopping super seriously. I will search 5 stores for the perfect personal gift. I loooove finding that one perfect thing for someone. If I had money I'd buy things for people all the time

[@tiffanyperkins9012]

I feel this in my soul

[@amberleitao4727]

I love Hearing how your creative process was different this time and how Caleb was able to give you direction and you took the direction and created a soap based off of that! A lot of people in that same position wouldn’t take to other people suggestions and that’s what I love about you is that it’s not just what inspires you but you’re inspired by what inspires other people!

[@Denf0]

I've been obsessed with Carole and Tuesday on Netflix, it somehow manages to fit all the typical anime elements into a really lighthearted and beautiful story in such a well-coordinated way without being very hyperbolic or sensationalized - it's really expanded my understanding of how you can use a genre to tell a story even if they aren't historically paired well together. And besides that, the animation and music is absolutely gorgeous, I honestly can't recommend it enough.

[@littlemissmel88]

You mention David Tennant and I'm sold! My favorite. Love this soap too.

[@charlotteoleary196]

I love the fact you are so into British TV. My friend is in Doc Martin, I will let him know you love it!!

[@katiechurch5175]

Oh yay! I’m so excited that you are also a Dr Who fan!! You should do a space soap series based off of all the Dr Who seasons! That would be so fun!

[@MyNameisMessenger]

Goodness, please. The classic scarf would be such a pretty soap and easily recognized.

[@anastasiazellner47]

Yes please!! I would love that SO much.

[@slytherinmama5379]

Omgosh yes! 9's would have to be something leathery smelling in shades of black and gray. 10 would be khaki and blue. 11 would HAVE to have some red. And a River and/or Ponds soap! I'd buy every single one.

[@MyNameisMessenger]

@@slytherinmama5379 You'll have to get through me first. ;D

[@jennm3589]

I watch Bob Ross every night before going to sleep. Nothing calms me more than his soothing like chamomile tea voice.

[@10ytrewq]

MORE CANDLES PLEASE!!! Also, hearing how much you and Caleb love Doc Martin makes me happy. It was one of my late grandma's favorite show that we would watch together ❤️

[@jecka62987]

Chef's Table is basically the chillest show I've ever watched. Definitely great for relaxing before bed.

[@cbigg_8844]

It's not a tv show but I like watching Village Life on youtube. Two ladies in India cooking food on a fire. No talking, just them calmly chopping and stirring. I believe they make it to give to less fortunate people.

[@katelillo1932]

That sounds amazing!

[@YTistooannoying]

If you like watching people cook with no talking watch Imamu room. She has videos where she makes a weeks worth of bento for her husband. It is very calming.

[@OfficialMusicalBean]

Your videos are absolutely amazing. I've become obsessed with your content in just 1 week. Your videos have made my days better. Like I've been so stressed with college this semester because its my last one and my grades are like a roller coaster. If I pick up 2 classes, the other 3 drop. Its a circus ring. And I see your videos and your a happy 26 year old that is married and has 2 precious babies and have a company. I admire that. Not a lot of people have that at that age. Im 21 year old struggling college student that still does not know what with her life. Your enthusiasm is infectious and I just love your laugh. You're personality is just amazing and sweet. I love it. Please keep making videos girl. You save lives girl.

[@Paperscrapper]

While most would not consider them calm or peaceful, I really like to watch "scary" shows at bed time. I often fall asleep watching them. Lol I can take me several days to finally see the whole episode. But, when I'm really having a hard time falling asleep, I will put Bob Ross on. His voice is so calm and soothing. I also think listening to him helps me because when I had cable and couldn't sleep, his show was all that was on.

[@tomizu5]

Your videos have cured my pandemic depression, stay awesome Katie!

[@violetmoon717]

You're nailing those commercial breaks in this one. It's satisfying.

[@cindyfahey1711]

I am addicted to Hallmark movies. Sitting back relaxing and drinking sweet tea or hot cocoa . Wrapped up in a cozy fleece blanket

[@marmar1293]

I think i prefer how cool toned it looks in the thumbnail from the top view than this warmer tone that sort of reminds me of a military uniform. Love the textured top

[@ystacalden]

adding a touch of blue to the greens and dark gray could be interesting to try and pull it back. but with the scent acting the way it does, trying the same colour palette with a slightly browning scent could be interesting too.

[@michelle-ve3jb]

Hey Katie I just want to let you know that tonight is my birthday and my family just gifted me oils, lye, a loaf mould, a stick blender, mica and fragrance oils. I was so surprised as I wasn’t expecting anything and I feel super grateful, to them and you and I want to say thank you for introducing me to a lifelong craft that I start tomorrow :)

[@mekhakreature]

I love the look of this soap! So earthy and warm 🧡 I watch typical "kid" shows for sleepy times like sofia the first, octonauts, care bears - any one that's got enough of a story to feel engaging but it's a kids show so the peril won't stress me out before bedtime!

[@TheAnthrochild87]

I love love love the pattern of this soap. It sparked a memory of me and my grandmother before she passed away. She used to have these old Readers Digest books who had water marbled paper on the inside covers. And this design just screamed that to me. It's a comforting memory - thank you for that. :)

[@slh9246]

Oh my gosh YES exactly!

[@HorseLover161298]

My favourite quiet and calm show is Midnight Diner. It’s a Japanese slice of life show that follows characters who regular a little diner in Tokyo that is open from midnight until 7am. It’s just very calming and somber in its opening, and the stories are generally really emotional, and it’s very pretty.

[@jennyramirez9073]

I love watching Golden Girls when I’m unwinding for bed. It comes on late at night, which works out perfectly!

[@BobCrochets]

Most relaxing, calm tv is hands down Bob Ross. I love watching his stuff. Also, cannot wait to get this soap for my husband. We got our first Royalty Soaps a few days ago and we are LOVING THEM!

[@kim-mairyan8202]

For a calming show - I love Father Brown. Some episodes are more intense than others, and there are murders, but the main theme is everyone is redeemable. ☀️ It's perfect for a rainy day with a nice cup of tea 🌧️

[@nutcaseina.nutshell8294]

I swear Katie, your intros give me LIFE And, I totally love your new way of texturing soap. I feel like it goes so well with the theme.

[@jenniferjohnson9390]

Hubby and I love watching the Durrells in Corfu before bed. The scenery is breathtaking.

[@menuettte]

Acorn has a series called "Mum". It follows a recent widow and how her family treats her almost like furniture, and yet she just steadily keeps going. Very funny. The humor is on point and very pointed at the same time.

[@Countrysidegirl6]

My husband and I love watching Northern Exposure before bed. It is an 80’s series placed in Alaska. It is funny, fill of lovely nature shots, and has a good story line. We loved it when it came out (in fact I named my dog after the main character Maggie!) and we enjoy watching it again now. ❤️

[@nicolemichalek1524]

Great British Bake Off is by far my favorite show to watch to relax! Even though it’s a competition, everyone is so pleasant and delightful that is usually not stressful.

[@kellykinnaird3576]

Katie is by far the best soap mistress there is, but I am in UK and cannot afford the postage! Does anyone know of a great UK soap maker that does high tops? Everything is artisan, which are beautiful but I fancy a High HIGH soap! I also wish I could get Acorn TV, you get more British shows than we do I think!! Love you all at Royalty, thank you for gorgeous coordinating and clashing colours, smashing smellable smells, and delectable diggable soaps!

[@claire-ol7dr]

David Attenborough's Blue Planet is amazing to watch if you like to relax , mind you David Attenborough voice is just so tranquil anything he's talking in is relaxing

[@lekiscool]

You are such sunshine!

[@seisage]

My favorite calming TV show is the 1995 Pride & Prejudice BBC miniseries. There's enough drama to keep me interested, but it's not stressful in any way and there are tons of gorgeous shots of manors and green landscapes. The music is really lovely too. As for movies, I really like Only Yesterday. A lot of people hate it and think it's boring because "nothing happens" but that's sort of why I love it. It's a low-stakes character study that speculates on what it means to grow up and become an adult and how childhood experiences contrast and contribute to your current self. Also has lovely music, and the Japanese voice actors are phenomenal. They, and the facial animations, breathe so much life into the characters.

[@Tk-rh4ng]

Doctor Who soap... That would be so amazing!

[@amysumek3132]

Gypsy Fae Creations did one a while back. It was awesome. You should go check her out! She does a lot of fandoms.

[@Tk-rh4ng]

@@amysumek3132 Thank you for the advice 😊

[@Brooklyn_]

My favorite calm and sleepy thing to watch is Ophelia's Soapery here on KZbin! Her videos are so gorgeous. You rock, Katie! I loved hearing more about how you and Caleb get along and work together.

[@iPromise90]

The Great British Baking Show is what I watch. It's calm and a little exciting. Very positive and there's something about the narrators voice.

[@joannabroussard942]

Perfect fall colored soap. Really hope this becomes a regular. Easiest way for me to Christmas shop is to have my husband and kids to just give me a list of what they want for Christmas. This way everyone is happy.

[@aheartforart1]

Frasier is my absolute favorite show to fall asleep to

[@AllOne82]

Absolutely love the good witch movies and tv show from hallmark! Best show ever! So uplifting!

[@Dd-bm7ri]

for me gilmore girls is a calming show. Probably because i have watched it so many times. The show just feels warm and cozy and sleepy

[@shellymay2505]

I also love an audiobook as I go to sleep. For sleep I relisten to old favs that I know super well like Anne of Green gables, secret garden, and a little princess

[@elliehubbard3159]

I am all about this soap and all it’s elements and the video was an instant fave when you called yourself “a silly gooseberry” 💕

[@thatsnotmyname9647]

Loving the green! Such a cute soap and the swirl + texturing looks so good :) My favourtie sleepy time show is the old midsummer murders, which sounds funny, but when I was a kid I used to curl up at my nanna's side and watch MM in the evening. I didn't usually fall asleep, but when it finished, it was usually bedtime. Even though I don't like the new barnaby or the new writers, I still have fond memories of the old episodes and will watch them when they're on.

[@amethystflint634]

I love this soap! It gives me Degobah vibes

[@cheekyb71]

That is my absolute favourite top I've ever seen!! The swirl and the texture - perfect

[@tearalewis7532]

I LOVE the colors in this soap! Greens are my fave, especially all the earthy ones, this would go so good in my bathroom. As for sleepy time tv, I dont watch much anymore, but do fall asleep to national geographic nature shows on my phone, or journal making/ paper crafting videos. I make "junk" journals or memory journals, vintage style aesthetic. A few of the ladies I watch have soothing voices, and put me right to sleep.

[@FreakyeIntroX]

Good witch is my favorite hallmark show, its easy pace, lovely and a lil funny too

[@sheilabataclan8400]

I love doc martin. My husband and I are both doctors and we laugh every time we watch. also its very accurate on the medical stuff. So thumbs up to the show for research

[@raechelsaunders]

Doc Martin is a classic! hilarious and lovable characters

[@missmyusername111]

I always need shows on in the background or before bed and it's usually a sitcom like The office or Seinfeld or Muder She Wrote since that is a very nostalgic show for me. It's light and formulaic and that makes it feel comforting. Also Jessica Fletcher is way before her time! She was a smart, witty and strong female character which was rare for the time.

[@katieoneill7808]

I really like star trek the original series as my calming show! Something about the music, visuals, and especially the voices of the actors are great. It's great because when you really pay attention, there's good action, good food for thought and good times, but when you just kind of have it on in the background, it's chill

[@jasminsantana1347]

I loved❤❤❤ this soap. Natural and soft is the new star of the show!! The shows that I fall asleep to are any of the National Geographic shows. I LOVE THEM🥰!!

[@kathrinelynn1249]

My hubby will love this soap! Amber and sandalwood are his favorite scents. Favorite sleepy show: bob ross is my go to :)

[@finecallmejane]

Seeing the color pallet after blending... Wowow WOW! 😍

[@jreid83]

A few things...my hubby is birthday twins with Caleb! I live in Scotland (born in Tennessee) and love love LOVE Doc Martin. AND if I'm struggling to settle my brain I listen to Anne of Green Gables, any of the series, on audio book. Thank you for always being a stable constant in my YT feed, and for helping to blossom my creative side. My new little soap business is just waiting for legal confirmation to go live!

[@rebeccaevans51]

To answer the question of the day, my favorite sleepy time show is steven universe! The music is especially chill, and the colors are all so jewel like, it's just the best.

[@jeffreym68]

Lovely color swirl! I love the forest colors and your fragrance description. Earthy scents are a favorite.

[@fluffyfly6760]

I love the color palette! When you swirled the top I really fell in love and was like "noooo, don't texture, what are you doing?" but then you textured it and my artist heart just went nuts. This soap is LIT !

[@aprilboyd5983]

My son loves watching your videos and he was so excited to hear that him and Kaleb share a birthday!

[@KoolAidBlues]

My favorite tv show that calms me and helps me fall asleep is Dawson's Creek. I used to watch it with my mom every week when it was still on air and I have all the seasons on DVD and just discovered it's also on Netflix. I've seen every episode a hundred times at least but it's my go-to if I need to feel all the things or just sleep. I pick and choose the episodes depending on my mood. And also CSI: Miami, there's quite a bit of action and murder in that one, but I find most of the actors/actresses voices pretty soothing for some reason.

[@ShieldofTerror]

This is one of my favorite color palettes to date. I love the kind of greens you used for this soap, Katie. I'd really like to see more green soaps in the future sometime!

[@Midgeria]

YES! Northern winter colours! Love the vibe.

[@Thebiggerbox]

Looks so nice! I went to see where Doc Martin was filmed a couple of years ago. So weird to see it in irl and you can stay in Doc Martins house too. I watch KZbin for sleepy time, normally food or soap making as it nice and chill.

[@dorothyscreations6490]

Big Fan here...an American living in the UK for 20 yrs! Doc Martin has over 6 seasons and a couple of specials so you have hopefully lots more episodes to come!! LOL Your soaps are so gorgeous makes me wish for smell-o-vision!! :)

[@Zoebeeboey]

We don’t watch anything before bed, but we do listen to “nothing much happens” podcast with a timer on so that it doesn’t play all night. I just hear her voice and I am OUT! I have a ADHD brain and it is suuupet active before bed, that podcast cured my bed time issues.

[@kaylawaters5798]

I love Gilmore Girls. Its relatable and not very crude and the witty banter is hilarious

[@cryingbroken8824]

😘🙃😉👏👏👏😘

[@jenwilliams9015]

This is sooooo up my alley! I’m very much a neutral and simple gal, so I adored the magnolia soap and I know im going to love this one too!

[@AgentMothman3]

This is my kind of soap! I lean towards a very minimalist natural colour palette with mostly whites, browns and greens. I also tend to prefer woodsy/musky smells and find sweet or fruity smells tend to smell sickly or sour. Most of the soaps you make are quite beautiful but not something I would go out and buy, but this soap speaks to me. Hope you create more of the natural earthy soaps!

[@krystalanastasia3901]

I used to watch doc martin, keeping up appearances, last of the summer wine, etc. With my mamaw and papaw ( grandparents) 😍

[@LucyGower94]

Woohoo! I bloody love Doc Martin! I got to meet Bert at the local ComicCon and I’ve always wanted to meet Al too! Martin Clunes is just so lovely and amazing 🥰

[@dl6398]

Dinnerladies and Vicar of Dibley are two excellent shows, especially if you like comedy as well as that gentle/calming/cozy feel. Best watched in your pyjamas whilst eating soup.

[@darceybaxter1626]

My Gran is obsessed with Doc Martin. When I was younger I used to watch it with her. Along with Monarch of the Glen and Heartbeat ! Haha

[@AvidusReader]

Not a tv show but Blitz here on KZbin... for some reason his cadence just relaxes me.... even when he's exploding things.

[@catherine-wyestael-9427]

Favorite calm and sleepy tv show - nothing better than Mr. Bob Ross!

[@pattimessenger6214]

I love the more rustic natural soaps too. And I would love it if you had a soap like this that is always available. Not just one and done and I can never get it again.

[@rachelmarks8601]

Katie, please tell me you’re a Keeping Up Appearances fan?? My mom and I watched it every Saturday night when I was a kid, and I still watch it. It’s just the absolute funniest show! I was thinking the other day that I would looooove to see a themed soap of the show: hyacinth, rose and daisy- scented, with the design of the soap the colors of Hyacinth’s Royal Doulton with hand-painted periwinkle fine China 🥰😂

[@TheKarret]

Schitt's Creek is super cute; set in like a small town, it's pretty wholesome' it's about a rich family that loses their riches and have to live out of a motel in a town called Schitt's Creek. It's adorable; I watched it with my mom and sisters and we all loved it~

[@mariapizzaa]

Doing this kind of swirl is so much more satisfying than a regular drop swirl

[@thehouseplant]

See, I'm not saying the soap looks bad, I actually love it. What I think, though, is that a drop swirl makes the "classy" atmosphere she wanted for the soap to vanish. I imagine classy things as more solid and stiff, like colors with micah lines or something alike. No, I'm no profession neither am questioning Katie's work, is just my impression, thinking about what she said about the palette. The top is fantastic, I loved it deeply. Love you Katie 💜

[@CatBarefield]

Love that color palette! I’m not into anime at all but my favorite sleepy time tv show is Mushi-shi. The soundtrack is just perfect and the show is so aesthetically pleasing

[@catareenqueen2266]

I know you said TV show recommendations, However this you tube channel is AWSOME to relax to and Its all about ART! Baumgartner Restoration is amazing and soothing. He brings old or damaged works of art back to life with many different techniques.

[@joieyoung-broin1500]

You say you made this for Caleb, but it feels like you made it for me. I love greens and golds. Olive green is my favorite color. I cannot believe I like a Christmas soap!! (I’m a Thanksgiving person all day, every day. And a grinch until December 13th.) It’s so lovely. Thank Caleb for me!!

[@NancyW96CatLady]

This is one of my favourite soaps you've done. Really pleasing colours + scents + style.

[@lindsaymoser4200]

OMG this makes me think of the 50's/60's holidays and I love it!! The swirl with the texture is everything

[@Midgeria]

My favourite sleepy time tv show is the anime Mushishi. The chillest monster of the day story ever. Combines doctor shows with ghost hunting elements, with a really calming voice on the main character.
