My oldest son's birthday is on Valentine's Day. When the kids were in elementary school, we would always make Valentine cards and include a candy. I felt they meant more than the store-bought ones.

I’m definitely gonna try that fragrance, how did the scent hold up? And, I was watching when you added all the colors… thinking ohhh.. you aren’t gonna notice the embed. Maybe do the mixed colors in the bottom, then a layer of white, put embed in that layer, then can do the mixed color layer again? The top was very pretty! Even making them different solid colors would have been cool. I love your channel! Such relaxing videos

I'm not surprised the hearts got lost in the soap. When you make embeds of the same color as the swirl they aren't going to show as well because they are the same color. With embeds you really need to color them with a color of their own not the same as the swirl if you want them to stand out. And they will look so much better if you'd lay them in upright then gently pour the rest of the batter over them so as not to dislodge them. That way they don't look all wonky in the bar. You don't want to pour all of the soap then shove them into it. You want them to stand upright. And they really look better being a solid color against a swirl background otherwise it's going to look too busy and get lost in the colors. And if it were me I'd lose the red color. It just don't go with the purple and pink or lighten it up a bit but you already have a pink in it just make it a darker pink but the red don't really fit into the color scheme Just some advice respectfully.
