Would love to see an updated suppliers & shopping tips & tricks!

[@rabbitzoom]

Great advice, Katie! I trick I use to save on shipping, depending on the contents of my order, is to break up my order into 2 orders. It doesn't work with every order, or every supplier but it's worth paying attention to. It depends on how the company calculates shipping, and most of the time an order with both heavy and light items is the best candidate for trying it. Just add and remove items from the shopping cart while paying attention to the changes in shipping.

You are so incredibly generous with you knowledge and information. Thank you for sharing!

[@nymphetamineanonymous]

Thank youuuuu🤣🤣😅

[@ChillingWithMel22]

Before I ever started making soap I made candles for years and I always bought my fragrance oils from Lonestar you’re 100% correct that their fragrance oils are a lot more potent than other brands it is definitely a bonus when using it in soap a little does go along way they’re very highly concentrated. I would highly recommend Lonestar too!!!

[@uniquemonique2009]

I love ALL your videos! I can't stop watching them lol. I came upon your channel about 3 weeks ago when I decided to try soaping again. Your videos are very inspiring, helpful and educational. I'm still a beginner. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on making soap. I hope to one day be a great soaper like you. Again thanks for sharing and all the best you and your family!

[@Me-ev4ix]

Pregnancy agrees with you! You look so healthy and glowing!

[@ncsubaby21]

Check out Aztec. They have fantastic prices and everything you could need for soaps and candles.

[@fabricatedreality8218]

Are their fragrances strong? I have tried lots of Nature's Garden FO's and some are super strong but others smell like water. I hate having to order scents to try them out

[@meganinnes2098]

Thanks for yet another awesome video! All your advice and suggestions are always so helpful. I loved the dollar store tip!! I'm just starting to actually buy my supplies to start out, I've been reading, researching and watching videos on soap making so I'm so thankful for channels like yours that are wiling to share their tips, tricks and lessons learned. Thank you for sharing with us and congrats on your baby!

[@missreynolds3637]

Megan Innes here's another tidbit for dollar tree if you're trying to save money on soaping you can get drawer organizers and use those for soap molds. I didn't line them the first time. They worked and I love the Betty crocker spatulas and pouring mixing bowls Katie mentioned as well. I also got some cooling racks there 3 for a dollar I think maybe it was two? I use those to dry my soaps as well. I think I may line the drawer organizers next time though lol. I did make my own loaf molds out of foam poster board they sell as well and line it w/ a plastic bag.

[@corduroy99]

brambleberry are good, but boy do they take their sweet time to send you the stuff. Plus they always get you on the shipping.

[@GrimlyYours]

i feel you there. their shipping is my biggest complaint. i know everyone says they can't help shipping prices but, man, upwards of $20 bucks for barely 1lb of actual merchandise is murder on a tiny budget.

[@jenniferpond4931]

corduroy99 agreed. I don't think anyone should have to wait 2+ weeks for an order. rediculous.

[@laurieparker8648]

I've, for the most part, have stopped doing business with them for this very reason. They have my money and I don't get my products for two weeks. That is not acceptable to me.

[@RosalindGriffith]

corduroy99 I never have to wait 2 weeks, a little over a week every time.

[@laurieparker8648]

well then you are lucky. That has NEVER been the case for me. I used to order from them often and stopped because of this very issue. Drives me nuts. I like their products but if I place an order it should be out within 24 hours, not a week later. Just not acceptable to me. As a small business owner myself, I would never expect my customers to wait that long.

[@celestialchaoscustomsoaps2653]

I recently learned that bee keeper magazines sell soap supplies! 😮 IDK if I am late on finding this out LOL but in case you didn't know I thought I would share as I know being a person living in Texas as well it is difficult to find stores other than Michael's and Hobby Lobby and it's quite pricey there my grandpa is a beekeeper so that's how I found out LOL happy soap making

[@Jessica-xh4ul]

The spatula part had me rolling with laughter! I love your videos so much, Katie! Also, You look beautiful!! You're glowing!!

[@jaceeritchie]

LOVE, LOVE Brambleberry! And Nurture Soap, and Wholesale Supplies Plus. Oh and babies, so huge congratulations on your pregnancy! :)

[@FarmerC.J.]

You’re Spirit just soars! Thank you for your generosity! I just started making soap again.....nothing big but enjoy it as a hobby and sharing with family and friends❤️ Thanks again!

[@MzShugr]

You have grown so much. I have watched you for a few years and it's great to see what you have done. Thanks for this video.

[@tonibissell-venable7373]

Very helpful information Katie and congratulations to you and the hubs on the baby!

[@halorobertson4935]

Good to see you back, Katie! It's so kinc of you to post "how to find, or how to save" videos for us newcomers. I have been using most of the suppliers you list, but some are really new to me, so I'll be checking them out. By the way, have you tried Bulk Apothecary? This was the first supplier, along with Bramble Berry that I've ordered from. They have a really good collection of essential oils, fast shipping, and the prices are reasonable.

[@101Cecilia]

Your generosity of information IS SO APPRECIATED! You guys are awesome.

[@deannamarie3041]

I cannot thank you enough for this video. Soap making is my calling! You are so helpful.❤️

[@creeksidenaturalsoapssuds6479]

Katie , It is great to see you. I miss you sit down videos. Thank you for your tips .. I have kinda stopped buying from off places . I had some crazy experiences . With these companies no problems ever. Hugs to all three of you ..💖🌺🌼🌼🌼

[@janicesjewels]

Thanks for all of the info. Have you considered making a video on marketing? I need advice on low or no pay strategies.

[@MyakaX7]

I haven't started with soap making yet but I am doing lip balms. Soaper's Choice had a lot of the oils and butters i use for lip balms so thank you for the suggestion. I was comparing prices, including shipping, with Whole sale supplies plus and then found out that Soaper's Choice is in Des Plaines, IL and I nearly freaked( I live in Chicago) lol. I was so excited because now they will be my #1 choices for oils, beeswax, and butters. I was looking so hard for a beeswax supplier for my coconut wax/beeswax blend candles and now I have it at a low price. Thank you so much for this video and you are my inspiration to create my own soaps soon!

[@amys5429]

I just wanted to let you know that I've just recently discovered your channel, and you're not only extremely talented, you're ridiculously fun to watch & listen to :D Congrats on the baby! :D

[@63eh74]

I am a super Lone Star Fan. I don't use a whole lot of fragrance oil. The fragrances I have gotten from them as you said, are spot on. I usually use half an ounce per pound and that is more than plenty. Love the company (being Texan) and they are super friendly.

[@tattooedowl2712]

ive shopped at nurture AND natures garden and i ADORE them. :-) Rustic Escentuals are amazing as well! :-) I LOVE LOVE LOVE their fragrances and a little goes a long way with them....Bramble Berry is fantastic...I got my molds (and soap drying racks) from essential depot. I have used them for YEARS and theyre still durable and kickin!!"

[@tammiesue4196]

I just placed my very first orders for fragrance oils from Lone Star Candle Co. and an order from Mad Micas. I am so excited to start this new adventure!!!!

[@aprilalj]

Also, Congratulations on the 50,000 subscribers. I am in awe of your bubbly haha personality. Your Creative talents and your willingness to teach others. My Sincere Thanks.

[@Philathai]

Thank you...it was great. I have yet to make the first bar of soap but I'm trying to watch every video, take notes and really understand the process of making it. I have not 1 some to waste plus that's just me...again, thanks and oh yeah congratulations on that baby....

[@lindatorres-lopez8306]

Katie thank you for this video! great advice. I know you use melt and pour from time to time what brand do you prefer? ... I always forget to use ebates when I purchase online I really need to start using them more! Congratulations again on your pregnancy! woo-hoo 50K congratulations!

[@laurareched6132]

Any advice for your neighbours in Canada? I havent found a good supplier that I have loved yet!

[@TammysTurkeyTimer]

Hi Katie, thank you for your feedback, I have a question. What in your opinion is the best Oatmeal Milk and Honey fragrance oil, do you have a good recipe I can use that has real honey in it. Thank you 😊 congratulations on your baby 👶🏻

[@FolseFarms]

I just love your videos. I'm a newbie to the soap world and just made my first melt and pour soap. It was fun but I'm ready to move on to cold process soap.

[@floraguileta3781]

thanks for the buying tips. some of these companies I have not bought from. wholesale supplies plus, nature's garden candles, brambleberry and Southwest candles ( Texas) are the ones I buy from. I also live in Texas. been watching your videos since I started soaping in 2010. so happy for the new addition to the family. God bless always. you are looking very well. best wishes.

[@luvjeordiestudios9719]

I'm so imagining a candle from you that matches the look of your soaps. Different colored wax swirled in the main part with piped wax on the top like the soaps are.

[@froggyfur1954]

I haven't seen a comment yet about candles in your shop - Of course it's your shop! Offer whatever you like! Having said that, you're SOAP royalty, and that's how I'll always think of you.

[@TheMonsterHobo]

I think, being from Texas and all, that a bluebonnet fragranced item would be wonderful! Not sure how easy it it to come by but since we can't pick them, it would be wonderful!

[@BonnyBubbles]

Great video Katie, awesome tips. I use ebates too since I shop so much online. love getting those checks in the mail. Congrats to you both on the baby bump ♡

[@margieadams4622]

Have you tried "Texas Candle Supply" out of Livingston? They also have some good fragrance oils.

[@suzannenichols6900]

Thank you Katie for all of this valuable advice. I will be checking in on these companies as funds allow. You're always so inspiring and your videos keep bringing me closer to actually beginning. I'm still in the tool gathering stage but SOON!!! ✌😀👍

[@wardenmageamell8334]

I'm so glad I found this video. Thank you for making it. I have a tiny little business I run from home, and I live right next to the Florida Everglades (seriously, there's a canal next to my house, and bam gator land) so I guess I live in the country lol. I have no suppliers around me and have to shell out money for everything with shipping. Brambleberry has never been a good option for me, monetarily speaking. I honestly feel like if I pay for two day shipping it shouldn't take a week or more for the company to get around to slapping a shipping label on my order. But thank you for this information. I have more resources than I thought I did. I appreciate it.

[@janetfernandez1355]

Lots of great advice! Thanks for sharing. Wish I knew all this when I started out! You're great! And congratulations!! 🤗

[@gardengrlz]

Congrats again to you and Caleb! I'd love to see you do a video on Practical Soapmaking Tips....you know all those things that newbie (like myself) soapmakers stumble upon and say, "Darn, I wish someone told me about that!" :-)

[@amberleitao4727]

I’m watching this in 2020 and giggling because she’s so flabbergasted over 50k subscribers, and only 3 short years later she’s at 400k+ ... totally deserved! This video actually helped me as I’m getting I need to purchase my first I guess you would say my start up supplies. Right now we’re going to keep this at a hobby level and I tend to go overboard when I do things in my mind is swirling right now with what to buy and what not to buy and do I really need this and do I not need this and I am going to lose my “you know what” very soon.... This just put everything into perspective and made it very clear what I need to do so even three years later it’s very relative material

[@tstephens3815]

Really enjoyed the video. I found it to be informative for someone like me who is just starting out. Thanks for sharing

[@HeritageSoapCo]

Thanks for the video Katie -- I am with you on the rule of "use all of your FO before buying more" I have a big PROBLEM buying FOs. I am a absolute FO HO for sure! LOL. I have to try to use self control when ordering. I always want to order new ones every time I order from anywhere. This is my biggest "problem". :)

[@naseerahhutcherson8522]

I can't remember if you ever mentioned Mad Oils or have tried any of their products but they have awesome and unique FOs and very, very pigmented micas. I'm overhauling at the moment, going palm-free and vegan. And tips? Have you ever tried a palm free recipe? Congrats on your pregnancy!

Thank you Katie. Great information. Hey btw, can you do a video on your perfume oils. I didn't see any already posted. Just seems interesting.

[@ceceliasheart]

I always factor shipping by time spent and Gas cost. I mean I live literally at the end of the world therefore it takes me a good hour to and from to get supplies for just my house! And if it's rush hour there's your 20.00 in shipping! Idk if anyone else figures this in but if I am off let me know a better approach

[@chantalbrisson5354]

Thank you Katie for all those wonderful tips. You mentioned to buy quality material. I was wondering how do you know what you are buying is quality stuff?

[@missreynolds3637]

Not sure where you're from here in Tx? You should check out SW candle supplies they're located in Mesquite, Tx off IH 30. I got a bunch of soap supplies there. Called in my list as I was ordering lye both kinds and they do not ship that. Sent my hubby to pick up so we saved on shipping too. Also big lots has a huge container of coconut oil for $12.00 FYI. We got scents from triple AAA candle supply in Dallas those were fairly priced and so far I like the ones I've tried. Your soaps are soo pretty. I also have used lonestar as I make candles and tarts and I've used natures garden as well. I got my olive oil from Walmart as I don't have a membership to Costco (wish I did).

[@familiabastomoreno7438]

Do you have a video that explains how you come up with pricing for your soaps?

[@BarefootDani]

Katie, do you know if any of those suppliers ship worldwide at a reasonable price? I live in Israel and it's really hard to find soap supplies here. Decent molds are almost impossible to find (I buy them on ebay but there isn't much variety), and it's impossible to find good colorants

[@michelle-yvonnemartinez7494]

Thank you for the info. Much needed!

[@fabricatedreality8218]

I buy most of my FO's from Brambleberry because their scents are so strong....the shipping and wait time are killers but I can't stand weak FO. I order lots of butters, oils and additives from Natures Garden. I buy my Mica's, TD and a few fragrance oils from Nurture Soap. I recently started ordering from WSP...i love their free shipping. No one beats Nurture Soap micas......BB has some good ones too but Nurture is my go to Mica company.

[@salemthorup9536]

We also live in Texas, but I didn't think Brambleberry shipping was expensive at all. It was much more expensive from Essential Depot and WSP.

[@LostinThought444]

Thanks girl! I love Whole sale as well!! I’ve made a few of my own molds and love them but I need silicone liners to cut down on paper waste. I just recently started shopping with Rustic Escentuals bc I can pick up my order there but I’d love to have you feedback on them. I’m clicking on your clicks now to save some moola! Thanks!!!!!!!!
