Soap RECIPE + Making 💕 HEARTS & FLOWERS 🌸 Buttermilk & Cream CP Soap | Ellen Ruth Soap

[@PlumCrazyHomesteader]

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 love flowers too! My little girl was born premature in December and had to stay in the NICU for 2 months. She got to come home to us on Valentine's day, so we celebrate for her and give gifts and treats for our kids. Happy early birthday to your sweetie and Valentine's day to you both! 💌🌹💘

What a sweet Valentines gift, to bring your little one home❣️🌸💕

[@jennifergaytan97]

I hope you are having a great day, too. I love at the end when you do the patterns... this one looked like faces with the hearts as eyes. Some looked like old ladies, then when you flipped it, an old angry man. 🤣 I know, I have a strange imagination.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! Love your imagination💕

My husband's Bday is the day after Valentines Day! I love to give my kids Valentine's, I love dark chocolates, flowers and lack the green thumb for plants, so a hearty cactus does it for me. I just LOVE your bars and video's❣

The heart would have popped had it been just one color, but still love your soaps and enjoy watching you make soap - thank you.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks🌸💕

[@shunawestern9153]

Ellen another beautiful soap. The 2nd bar you cut, I thought the heart's popped out much better than on the other two. But regardless they were all lovely, and as you said, Ideal for Valentines Day. 🥰🇬🇧

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh thank you!🌸💕

Yes, one color would pop more💕🌸

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

So beautiful! Maybe dip your hearts in black or white for an edge, might help? Great job, love your video’s. I had to quit soaping due to the pandemic, I had to move, hoping to start back up soon, until then I’m living vicariously through other soaper’s. 😂 Love gardening (big green thumb) and chocolate! Oh my gosh, shavings in the pkg? Genius woman! Hugz, Tree

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Your right, I think if I had coated the hearts in mica they would have popped more. Thanks💕🌸

[@louisekohler4033]

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

[@patriciabaldwin2194]

Beautiful ❤️💜

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you! 😊

[@clavadeplata]

i celebrate valentines day all by myself and buying lots of chocolate for me because self love should be celebrated too 🥳 i really love the flowers embeds and those swirls are very pretty as well 🤩

[@karlad3213]

Name-My secret heart. Perhaps not a green thumb, but must definitely a swirled thumb... They are beautiful. 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh thank you!🌸💕

[@teshaunanicole832]

My daughters birthday is also 13 February and one year I was over the whole purple and red theme for Valentine’s Day and did a green themed birthday. The whole family thought it was funny and was like where did all the green come from ☺️☺️. During this time all you see is reds, purples, and pinks!

[@damaira898]

you did a great job again love it 🥰

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much 😀

[@heatherj3385]

This year, the kids and I made big, old fashioned valentine's for our family and friends. We used pretty paper, lace, ribbons, glitter, all the fun things. It was such fun and they turned out so sweet.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That is awesome! And special❣️

[@nancykelly9712]

That's a beautiful soap Ellen!! Too bad the hearts were lost in the swirls but it's still a great soap and I love the colours. 💞

[@EllenRuthSoap]

So true!💕🌸

[@janellwalker9892]

Love this! Has given me ideas. Maybe solid red hearts would have popped?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, red would stand out more❣️💕🌸

[@rhonda4829]

Sadly I don’t care for flowers or chocolate for Valentine’s Day. I do like pretty smelling handmade natural bath and body products for V day. Nice cards are good too. 😊

[@Johndeere-wj3qg]

A gorgeous soap! I love the flowers you made for the top! So anxious for gardens and flowers in the spring! 💐❤☺

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you! 😊💕🌸

[@0phelion]

The colours and swirls are lovely! I think the hearts would've been perfect if they're a solid trial-by-fire red. But even more lovely was how you talked about your "lovey-dovey" husband. I recently celebrated my first wedding anniversary with my husband and I hope that we stay just as lovey-dovey as we are now when we reach your age. 🥰

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Happy Anniversary❣️🌸💕

[@cheryl739]

Beautiful! I love flowers and dark chocolate, but cut sweets way back! Hubby says it won't hurt once a year with very small box. I said ok. He was wanting to carry on the tradition, so said yes. 😉 My hubby's birthday is the 19th. Cheers 👍💕

Also orchids. I love them and not having a green thumb either they will last. And are very easy to care for not to mention they are beautiful. That’s my favorite Mother’s Day/ Valentine’s Day gift. ❤❤

[@Abutado]

My younger sister and brother's birthdays are also February 13th but 3 years apart.

[@charmainattwood977]

Beautiful swirls and soapy patterns. Love the colours and maybe next time do a solid red heart embed, I'm sure they would pop better for you. I love flowers I'm currently obsessed with Lithops succulents but have to wait till autumn for them to flower 💐🌵❣

[@sherrymartindale8582]

Cute! Some of the hearts looked like they had flames around them 😍 I can’t eat chocolate due to migraines so I love flowers too and my birthday is Feb 12!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Happy Birthday🌸❣️

[@sherrymartindale8582]

@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you ☺️

[@charlottetinxcundall7015]

If you want to keep the same colour swirls....try coating your embed canes in either a darker or lighter mica which will make a slight shadow of colour so you would see the heart better xx

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Great suggestion 🌸💕

[@cliviascreations]

It’s a nesting heart ♥️ Ellen the hearts didn’t get lost. It looks like the swirls are nesting them. Lovely. I love extra dark chocolate, but also cutting my sugar intake over here.

[@theresavandever1387]

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.

[@Sassycatsoapery]

Will you be making your body butter lotion again? I’ve emptied two jars! It is amazing and so wonderful on my skin!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I may be restocking it once more before phasing it out. I'm working towards only selling soap in the future..

[@Sassycatsoapery]

@@EllenRuthSoap oh….okay! If you do restock, I will definitely order!

[@pinkiedee]

Do you use a higher water content in your embeds or do they slice just fine when Olga slices the bars? Simply curious. I don’t use embeds in my soaps. Beautiful as always - both the soap and your lovely personality.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I still do a steep water discount, and have had no issues with cutting💕🌸

[@lynnbiggs9565]

Just love those flowers on top and love the heart molds, I did look for your round mold you got from Amazon and couldn’t find the link, what size was it?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

If you're talking about the round column mold I used for the moon soap, here's a link: amzn.to/3HPiGgG

[@pinkpassion30]

Gorgeous! Is this recipe formulated specifically to be a slow moving recipe?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It is a slow mover if you're working with a well behaved F.O.💕

[@ms.xquisite1255]

Perhaps if the red color was used fully on the heart embeds and skipped on the body of the soap, the hearts ❤would have popped 🤔. But regardless, a BEAUTIFUL soap😊.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Good point!💕🌸

[@Taylors_ridge_glamping_NC]

How do you keep your soaps from cracking after using the creams/ milks? Everytime I use them, the sugars make it hotter and they crack.

[@ms.xquisite1255]

Some people don't put a lid or blanket on top or put them in the fridge🤷‍♀️.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

My studio is pretty cool, and I do like to gel all my soap.. so I cover with a blanket, and keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t overheat.

[@Taylors_ridge_glamping_NC]

@Ms. Xquisite yeah, I normally CPOP my soaps. I prefer them to gel. But if I ever use any dairy products, they crack. Those I leave on the counter, no covering or oven. And still, sometimes they get put in the freezer for about 15 mins- that helps. Her studio must be really cold.

@@EllenRuthSoap thank you ❤️

[@nikkilove6700]

I’m a new soap maker.. is it normal for soap to feel soft after the first 24 hrs?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

If you used a very slow moving fragrance, it can still be soft. Or if you're using full water volume.. It's okay to wait several days to unmold if it's soft.
