Their direct support helps keep this channel afloat in the ever unstable world of KZbin ad revenue. These videos will always be disclosed, of course, and I appreciate everyone's kind support for these partnerships. Royalty Soaps also participates in commission or discount affiliations, like Amazon or RewardStyle, as these opportunities become available, like Amazon and RewardStyle and while the money we make with these links isn't much, every little bit counts and once again, we really appreciate your support!

As an elementary art teacher I love love that you post when things go wrong. That is how crafting and art goes sometimes . I always ask my kids when do artists stop making mistakes? They often answer when they are adults or experts. I say “never” Our class motto is “make strong mistakes” because it proves you are taking creative risks and learning.

[@jacquelynsmith2351]

My niece wants to learn to crochet like her mom, or knit like me. But she wants to be perfect like us right off the bat. I keep trying to tell her that the more advanced you get, the more mistakes you make, but the better you get at fixing the mistakes (or the better you get at hiding them or shrugging them off). She doesn't believe me. Or rather, she didn't believe me, until she heard me mutter "oh crap" one day when working on a sweater. Her jaw hit the floor. I didn't tell her that it was super minor and only took me about 5 seconds to fix, only that I made a mistake. Wish she'd seen the mistake I made a couple weeks ago. Took me 2 hours to fix! (Super advanced lace, and I dropped a stitch that went down 3 rows...)

[@kristya4739]

I am LIVING for the “last melon” ice age reference. I say obscure movie references all the time and i get so sad when they fly over my boyfriends head

[@TheKarret]

Ice Age counts as obscure now? I thought Monster vs Aliens would be a bit more obscure than that one. :Va

[@j4605]

@@TheKarret tbf the first ice age is 7 years older than Monsters vs. Aliens (2002 vs 2009). Think a bit people just remember it better because it became a movie series and not a lot of people watched the first one at least people I know. Edit: Both are very good movies imo

[@TheKarret]

@@j4605 Yeah, true. Though, older doesn't necessarily mean more obscure - most people know a lot of Disney's old stuff, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, iirc was from the 30s, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, all well known and made long ago. Even other movies like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is still well-known and referenced. I don't think Monsters vs. Aliens got as popular as Ice Age - I was like 11 when that came out and I remember it being everywhere; I hardly ever heard anything about Monsters vs. Aliens; no promo for it, rarely aired on TV... it definitely seems to have fallen through the cracks, even though it's more recent, so that's why I suggested that one as an obscure movie. Movies that fall through the cracks are the ones that get labeled "obscure", while the popular old ones get "classic" instead. Frozen will probably be considered a "classic" to most people as time goes on because of how huge it got, with whole years going by of LET IT GOOOOOOOO etc; but I don't think Coco hit that same level of high when it first came out; it made quite a few hundred million less in the box office, it could fade and become more obscure in the future. That's all I was getting at~ o vob

[@ameliajordan29]

Girl you need your money back! AFI needs to send you replacement fragrance oils or reimburse you because both of those oils performed horribly! Even if the scope of the problem was a combination of both, you’d still have poor performing soaps by themselves. Thank you so much for sharing this failure.

[@jawjagrrl]

I'd be tempted to try it in a recipe with no milk at all, just a basic castille or bastile. It's the one element she did not test in this video, and milk (like sugar or salt) can be a wild card.

I’m still waiting for my soap from the last collection 😭 no shade at all to RS, USPS is usually really slow especially coming to Canada and with covid it’s even slower, I’m just impatient and I’m so excited to get them! 😂🥰

Katie- this is the 1st week that has 5 months in it Me ~rewinds to see if i heard that right~

[@LaurenElizabethYT]

“It’s been one hell of a long week” 🤣

[@helenamirian908]

Aww, Katie. It was so pretty, too. Looked like a toasted coconut cream pie, my favorite. That is a huge jug of something not to work!! I'd still want some because it smells nice.

[@qtdingus]

I loved that subtle ice age reference, I make the same one all the time and no one ever notices 😂

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

what was the reference?

[@MistressElodie]

Ok, the high pitched Luke Skywalker meme 🤣 Perfection! I'm assuming I have Caleb to thank for the belly laughs.

[@katelillo1932]

Caleb is such a great editor 😂

[@mrsjoey3306]

Yay hiiii

[@imagitext1342]

I'm floored. You bought 10lbs without testing it first? I'd be too scared to spend that much!

[@ShieldofTerror]

This was honestly fun seeing you troubleshoot, Katie!

[@redhead_bebs]

So... Was it worse in the big batch because the fragrances were mixed or was it the fragrance with the coconut milk or both? Also, what will those fragrances work with then? Candles? Can you sell/give what you got to someone who will use it?

[@Ofelia_Lauren]

I love your background and aesthetic!

[@LunaFaeCreations]

Will you make candles or lotions with the fragrances?

[@Ofelia_Lauren]

Even though it didn't turn out, it still looks beautiful!!

[@TheJemmaGrl]

I loved this! I love finding the "why" something happens. For the maker to say that it's "safe for soap" - what does that mean? Does that mean they tested it with soap made with lye? Could they be talking about glycerin soap? I'd definitely stick it to them about it - ask for a refund or something!

[@kyrasee5446]

The color reminded me of boba tea (milk tea) Anyone else? Also i would love to see a boba tea 🧋 soap

[@bugarungus8124]

Ooh that would be so cool! A whole bubble tea themed month with little jelly cubes in some fruity soap too!

[@HannahIrene719]

Dude, I used the Apple Cinnamon fragrance oil from Brambleberry and holy smokies. Rice City, baby. It was so bad. It looked like tapioca pudding and water. I couldn't blend it back together. RIP.

[@barbarajeanstapleton1927]

Katie, we love you, and the fact that you show your failures!

[@keishalebray1996]

Would the “soft soap” fragrance oil be better used as a whipped body wash? Not liquid but creamy whipped formulations???

[@FoxSmudges]

"This is the first week that has five months in it".........me too, Katie. Me too.

[@kristinatroxell9561]

I don't think it's right to say the fragrances aren't for soapmaking. Probably better to say not for cold process soapmaking. They may preform well enough in M&P. It's not uncommon for a fragrance to not be okay for CP, but be fine for M&P. So technically it is soap safe, just not CP safe. They should really have a differentiation on their site

[@carolync5900]

You have been looking extra beautiful lately!!!

[@carols5665]

Anybody else catch “the first week with 5 months in it” during the intro. 🤪

[@sisteremm6003]

It stresses me out now to see some other soap makers NOT scrapey scrapey their big containees 🙈

[@bugarungus8124]

I have heard other KZbinrs say scrapey scrapey and it always makes me smile and think of Katie.

[@cpiccerilli]

What do you do with the batches that fail like this? I'm curious how you would get rid of it, especially because of the liquid/oil/solid/curd combo. Regular trash or something special?

[@MeganTerrell]

"this is the first week that has like 5 months in it..." I feel you, sister. I feel you.

[@LikaLaruku]

Stages of this soap: 1)Condensed milk. 2)Latte. 3)Gravy mashed potatoes. 4)Raw pastry in cold oil. 5)Cheddar cheese. You should make an annual blooper reel of soap fails.

[@aliw1582]

I could not stop thinking that they look like fancy soft cheeses.

[@roselewis24]

My five year old asked me why the soap lady was cutting up cheese 🤣

I don’t even know how i came across your channel in the first place or why i clicked on your video one day. I am in fact allergic to soap, but i am happy i did because i love your channel! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sonyawarry4856]

I just had to scramble to save a batch that separated within 20 minutes 😆 lesson learned, test the new fragrance oils!!
