Small business vlog~Shop update and chatting about running a soapmaking business~IS YOUR SOAP TOXIC?

[@CrystalSizemore]

I love you!!! You crack me up, entertain me and teach me how to be a good soap maker. I have made your videos part of my early morning routine.

[@BodyandSpaCreations]

I agree with you regarding the stigma and bullying that surrounds “natural” and “toxic”.

[@Handmadebusinesstips]

Girl. This video speaks to me. I JUST uploaded a Day in the life video for my soap making business and guess what. I look a hot mess in this Pennsylvania humidity and I put it all out there. LOL.Love your videos! I've been watching them FOREVER.💞

[@gisellebennett7313]

Thank you so much for sharing Picasso; what ii takes to be a soap maker and business owner. Yes the end results our glamorous but it is so many behind the scenes to make all of this happen. Yes we work from home. Key word being g work. We love what we do but we love it even more when it’s a blessing to our customers

[@BodyandSpaCreations]

You put so much effort into your videos. We appreciate it all

[@GabrielesMistSoapery]

I agree 100% with you! The longer the soap has cure the better lather and the longer it will last 😊!

[@tangiejones55]

I was so excited to see that you posted! Love your videos and products. 🥰

[@apothecaryoftherockies6574]

Just wanted to drop you some love, I love your channel and your content. You are def an inspiration for me and my small soap business.

[@donnaschneider2395]

Your work is so amazing and beautiful!!your down to earth you say the truth, people are haters…if they don’t do the work they shouldn’t sell it. Keep ‘em coming girl I could listen to you all day.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

[@juliewells2142]

Thanks for all the great info that you share.Hope you have a great one .

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you doll and I hope the same for you!

[@justaddlivingwater]

I've Been following you from the beginning, your one of the sub I kept. I just graduated from natural skin care school.. But I haven't sold anything yet, because I have to learn how to do all the teck stuff.. Editing.. ECT. But I just wanted to say out of everyone you ave the most beautiful Packaging Ever!!😍😍

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

CONGRATS GURRRRLLL!! That is foukin awesome and thank you from the bottom of my little ole heart for rocking with my channel all of this time. Also, I really appreciate the compliment on my packaging, I do try to make it special for everyone! Hugs!

[@amyblizzard9709]

Love watching your videos. You are precious!

[@monicacarroll4313]

Great to see you again ❤️

[@tarynbarber9901]

Yay! Another video! Thanks so much for blessing us with your experience and words of wisdom! I appreciate you! ❤

[@justaddlivingwater]

I did a shout out to you babe on my channel last night and your one of my favs, Soapers have the cleanest hands ever anyway..

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Awww, you are so gosh darn sweet! Thank you doll and I will definitely check out your channel!

[@crystaldawn8875]

Early Squad!! Its so good to see you! Its my dream to be my own Boss..there is so much to learn so far im failing forward! This is so interesting to watch i adore your personality!🌻🌼🎁💗

[@davidahandcraftsoap]

Thank you for all the tips Kenny I appreciate them and you.

[@Iamterrij]

Really enjoyed this Kenny, you kept it real. Yup even in my country people make soap without being properly educated and it’s scary at times. But they’re in the minority. Really appreciate the photo tips and love the new heat gun. When I burn a hole I either use the label to hide or change it completely . I am an international soaper and customer and I use a freight forwarder so my stuff only gets stuck at customs ( as all stuff does). I’m not sure if the bigger countries can use freight forwarders but in the Caribbean we do. Looking forward to more videos like this and thanks for sharing. Ps. We need a soap making video . Lol

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you honey! I've never heard of freight fowarders, but I'm surly gonna look into it. I love my international customers and appreciate them so much, but them having to wait over two months to get packages, just isn't acceptable. As always, thank you for the love and support you give doll and I will for sure be posting a making video soon! Have a fanfookintastic week!!

[@Iamterrij]

@@RoyalAppleBerry awesome looking forward to it

[@shannonwatts2147]

I just want to say, I have been watching you for years. When I came across your videos the first time I thought it was interesting and you were so funny. I kept looking forward to your next upload. After watching you make amazing things time and again, you inspired me to try making my very first batch of soap in 2016 and I have been addicted ever since (and yes I am an avid weigh, measure, double check my recipe and do more research person 😂). Keep doing you, girl! You are awesome and amazing and so positive. Thank you for being around and sharing your amazing personality and your experiences with all of us!

[@ebonygreen637]

Miss you love good to see you back❤❤❤❤

[@SquirrelRun]

Missed you Kenny!!! Loved the video!

[@ksspasoap8172]

Yay she’s back

[@BodyandSpaCreations]

Love love love all your vids

[@LaynaPimentel]

Hello beautiful! Love it and that's the current state of my office at the moment.

[@vixenligon1167]

People drive me nuts with the "all natural" and "toxic" rhetoric. The oh no, "that's made with chemicals" bs. Water is a chemical. I point blank give the example that rattlesnake venom is all natural and it can kill you. Just because something is natural doesnt mean it's safe. Just because something is synthetic doesn't mean that it's harmful. There are people trying to say melt and pour is more nature than cold process soap. Which is hilarious since it also made with lye. With cold process soap, you're controlling what put into the soap. With m&p you are getting what the manufacturer put into it. Anyways I'm glad that you made this video, I love seeing you.

[@justaddlivingwater]

I agree and save the same thing exactly on my channel.. I've only Been making soap for a year, but exuse me, lush uses all melt and pour.. Thank you.

[@3lemtntzcandleco.114]

You could not have said it better!!!!!

[@tendomulindwa-wavamunno4184]

Hello Ms. K ❤️ girl you should see how often I’ll wear the same pair of gloves! Will not toss them till there’s a hole in them so…if it ain’t broke🤣

[@CabbagePatchSoap]

Yay you uploaded another video! :)

[@freddieivory625]

Very informative, thanks for sharing

[@nicolelovesbooks6787]

I love how you keep it real Ms. Kenny; you keep me laughing. As soon as I unpack and get settled I will be placing another order. I also took your advice and visited Apena's channel and her shop. Everything is supper cute and I will definitely order some stuff from her shop. She's a little down about how low her orders are; the only item I think is too pricey are the socks. She want's almost $15 US for a pair of socks but the bookmarks, stickers and notebooks etc. are not expensive.

[@marilynmidget424]

Love you so much... I usually let my soap cure for 8+ weeks just for good measure,,, and I am always short on time.

[@nataliefromnormandya1135]

Listening to you makes me feel like I’m right in the room. Thank you! 😃

[@charlottetaylor8419]

I also have a full time job on the social/ human support field and balancing business and personal life during this pandemic is a challenge that many people don’t understand, thank you so much and many blessings to you!!

[@PurpleEFX]

Hi Ms. Kenny! We've missed you. Awesome to see you & looking forward to the new release!

[@smsalinasrn]

I love your personality! Thanks for your candor. I'm addicted to watching soap making and tried to make a small batch once. Soap making is no joke!

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Awww, thank you!! And yes, soapmaking can be lots of fun, but there so many things you have to be careful of. Thanks so very much for watching and commenting!!

Hi Kenny. Love you girl. Your soaps are da bomb, they look good, they smell awesome, they bubble like crazy and come in the best packaging I have ever seen. X x x

[@tanyabonnett7787]

This was such an interesting video Kenny, I learned some things and it was wonderful to see you on Utube again. As for you looking unkept I wish I looked like you being unkept, your beautiful always even when your not trying. Sultry to me would maybe satin sheets and rose petals and a candle. I learned alot about where and how to take the photos of soaps thankyou for sharing. Have a wonderful week.

[@jessalynn1920]

[@quanitajones5014]

Hey, Sis, Heeey! Girl, I threw away 4 loaves last week because they had issues. I stopped making for a while (because life) and am struggling to get back in the groove. Have not been happy with what I made this week, but it's just a cosmetic. Hope you've had a lovely summer!

[@Iamterrij]

Girl I hear you. I have been in a rut for a while lol

[@helenenjenga9000]

Welcome back darlin!!

[@hollymcdonnell339]

[@archaeologygrl]

I sit and make soap too sometimes, I have arthritis in my lower back and have an injury to my leg hurts if I stand too long.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Hunty, I know the struggle for real!!

[@mesquitemagic]

Oh, I did the same darn thing with the clear labels. I was so irritated.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Gurrrl, so you know exactly how I feel, LOL!

[@christyh.0073]

Good grief I miss you!!!

[@robinm6967]

Soap Garden Great Video! I have a question I sell my soap at Craft Fairs I do not sell on line & I think you did also! I have an opportunity to attend a 3 day Craft event in the coming fall my first this large! I am in GA & for this Craft Fair we have to have a sellers permit! I know how to get one! What I would like to know do I send all the sales taxes money I earn into my state? And will I have to continue to do this going forward on any future sells that I make! Thanks in advance! Happy soaping!

[@natashagold7877]

[@adriennewilliss9058]

It's been too long have missed your beautiful vids! Please stop worrying about peeps who criticise in the comments.... its only their crap they're gagging about! You've got it right! There's only a few products you've to be careful with but it's all for our bodies and single use gloves are not good. Take care of your poor hands Kenny!

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you love, loves!!

[@ramonajohnson9035]

[@SudsNSkinNaturals]

It’s soap why you need glove to put it in box

[@SudsNSkinNaturals]

You have to test your soap also, so you are right

[@PrefectSeptemberVirgo]

I agree, but I just registered my soap business and the FDA has a 165 page book on manufacturing cosmetic products the correct way in the wrong way and how you can get sued and how you can get your license revoked amd face heavy fines the people who are out here doing this as a hobby beware because you can be sued special if your label doesn't say you know if you have a "irriatation to discontinue and see doctor" whoever that lady was who had her back skin irratated because the soaps lye levels and ph balance was too high can sued, problem wasn't even registered with her county or city other wise that wouldn't have happen.

[@jonettienne9193]

Why use boxes when you have the shrink wrap system

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Hiya sweets! I'm trying to go plastic-free eventually for online orders. I mistakenly ordered with the wrong size but realized I like the look and convenience of the boxes. For craft fairs, I will continue to use the shrink wrap system.

[@jonettienne9193]

That's cool I agree seeing how great the boxes looks make me want to switch too

[@sarahconklin3871]

Kenny, 🤔I think I’ll start a fight on the internet today?…😂

Hi Kenny this is Quinn Alston from a USPIN gift and massage and I am blind when I told you that I was going to make homemade soaps I know you was trying to help me and safety and everything I was going to let you know that they have Talking scales that are use and they have talk and computers for me to do my recipes and put it on the side plus a mateI also make my sauce from melt and pour so and I’m doing fine and I do it it is every since 2015 I love you and when I make a mess I think about Kenny the message super love you my soap and sister from your blinds open sister

Why don't people just research what they need or want to say...according to FDA "natural" or "all natural" in cosmetics and/or homemade skincare products means "nothing"....it has NO regulatory meaning. You've got a search engine folks...look it up for your own edification....here ya go---

[@meadowyck]

I love my soaps that are a year old. and I have little soap bars that are just over 1 ounce. People say those bars last forever!!! Girl I love your channel... and may those that want to condemn you move on. You are fine! Shipping issues is why I will not ship outside of the USA.

[@melindaduncan3073]

It’s soap. Soap is cleansing. I’m not offended.

[@katralla01]

"Can't use lye soap because it has lye." Wrong if it has lye it wasn't made properly.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Oh my gosh!!! You don't even know how many times people have said that to me at my craft fairs! One lady even said, she could smell the lye in my soap and it smelled so good, then she bought the soap!!
