Testing a $5 Candle Kit with SHOCKING RESULTS

[@Imagin8io]

Katie passionately slapping the jelly soaps is pure beauty.

[@nooneinparticular469]

That’s the exact same memememememem sound I make when I squish my cat’s belly.

[@ericastrickland98]

Facts

[@kayari1455]

I need a gif of it so bad. I don't know how to make gifs but I think I'm going to need to learn.

[@mimijester]

WAIT IT WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE JELLY SOAP VIDEO!

[@zebrababy9019]

SAME

[@slurpyjuice666]

Yes like I don't care if it failed. I genuinely enjoy listening to Katie talking about anything

[@alessandrahayes8544]

I also thought the flat pumpkins looked great in themselves, just call them... Cakes?

[@Margaritaahh]

Me three

[@TrueCraftAddict]

This cleaning segment is one of my favorite Katie videos ever. Just FYI, this is awesome. Do more of this, pretty please! We need more of the real Katie on the channel.

[@Xeyxey0]

That was so funny, like why was 1:08 to 1:22 so chaotic 😂

[@Rhyzal_]

It makes me unreasonably gleeful when we get a "behind-the-scenes" look of a KZbinr's space or get a new camera angle that shows a peek of mess in the corner. Just happy to know the people I admire also have messes. ♥

[@grammaurai6843]

Of all of the YT creators I follow, Katie is the one who I'd most want to call when I feel down, which I think speaks highly of her authenticity and personability ❤

[@rosaliac.386]

Honestly same, it's a tie between her and Celina Meyers. They are both so amazing and wholesome and Real❤❤

[@bronoui]

her and the icing artist seem like such genuine souls.

[@tiffany7023]

WHY DO YOU TEMPT US WITH THESE FORBIDDEN FRUITS KATHERINE?! 😭

[@TheHIMprincess616]

This! 😂

[@KT-Kaboom]

I am 100% here for Mania Katie, she's out here spitting truths and serving tea

[@kiradynrhiode2231]

Manic Katie is too relatable ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Danni.Enigma]

"I'm still watching KZbinrs back from 2015..." This made me laugh because this is why I still come to KZbin as well, to watch you! I've been watching you since 2015, maybe even earlier than that, and you are the sole reason why I come to KZbin lol. I've watched you grow up, get married, have children, and all of the other ups and downs that come with life. We are roughly the same age, so we have kind of grown up into adults together. I love these kinds of videos where the parasocial relationship is fed like this, where the viewer feels like they're hanging out with their favorite KZbinr. Thanks for the years of laughs and smiles and clean hands, Katie! 🥰

[@firephoenix8892]

My daughter, Aliyah (11) wanted me to tell you that she just bought this candle set with money she got for her birthday! lol She is excited to make it!

[@brickbard]

Only 2 minutes in and this is already one of my favorite videos you've made. Thank you for being so real. I needed this. Also... I'm at the middle of an already failed project and your ability to just be like "this didn't work time to clean up and do something else that might not work" helped me jump that bump too.

[@Redskid1000]

Seriously! I tried to like this video 3 more times after my initial like in the beginning while she was still cleaning up and chatting!

[@amandakelley1331]

I must be an old lady too. I would much rather listen to someone for 15 min and feel like I know the person than to watch a 15-second video and be mildly entertained. Keep. It. Up. We're here for it!! ❤

[@susanjeffries5108]

I agree 100%! I also like how you say mildly entertained because that's how I view short form content as well. Some of it's kind of cute but in general there isn't a lot of actual satisfaction from watching it. I would much rather feel like I'm getting to know someone then to see a little snippet.

[@fortunomancy]

maybe the feel is different when you’re actually holding them but those jelly soaps honestly seemed to have a similar consistency to the ones I’ve tried from Lush

[@Yenneffer]

The cereal mold is so cute. Could make embeds for a cereal soap with those! Mmm a soap smelling like cereal milk.

[@ystacalden]

I was thinking the same. $5 for a mold like that isn't that bad a price, and then you get the candle stuff as a bonus if it works.

[@biviygranew4605]

I just absolutely love the intro. It gives such you energy. You're such a fun, energetic character even when you're tired and distressed.... But honestly, the jelly soaps didn't look that bad, and I would love to see a video over jelly soaps. I am obsessed with them too. trust me

[@UtahGmaw99]

Katie you are a real person and that's great. You don't pretend to be something you are not. And to top it all off you are so smart too. I have been following you since the videos in the shed in your parents back yard and your cat and siblings helping out, well sort of lol. You are so fun. Thanks a ton and a big hug sugar!

[@anidanielle]

Please do more 5 Below kit videos! Also you are a lovely person and thank you for valuing videos that require an attention span! It's such a pleasure to relax with you.

[@jovishark]

what you explained early on is exactly why i miss jenna marbles. she made quality content where you got to know her and connected with what she was doing. i love this video and i absolutely sympathize with manic hyperfixating. im doing it right now! this video is helping me unwind from the other crap i have to do today. thank you for showing us the process.

[@sierram9573]

As someone who collects decorative candles, I probably wouldn’t burn this 😂 it’s so cute

[@MargoMB19]

I don't often come here anymore and omg I really forgot how much Katie makes me smile! Been dealing with a lot of personal stuff and I'm honestly almost crying right now just from the relief of watching Katie being her silly self and listening to her laugh and... Man I needed this. Love ya Katie!

[@TheCottonCandyKat]

When Katie was talking about how she has passion for projects and they consume her thoughts and she has to get them done before her creative energy runs out, my husband looked over at me and was just like "you". I've never felt so understood by another creator!! I relate to you more and more with every video! I love the chattiness and chaos of these creative videos

[@ghostgirl6970]

Katie, your manic mode is totally how I feel right now but I'm accomplishing, like, nothing, so this was satisfying. Thank you, I needed to hang out with you today.

[@adde9506]

This is probably a great kit for someone with a short attention span. Pour some fruit loops, jump on trampoline, pour some fruit loops, eat lunch, pour some fruit loops, carve a pumpkin. If you had dye left over from another kit, you could make other colors of fruit loops and really fill the bowl with them. And of course, you can always pour out the melted wax, so the candle won't put itself out.

[@bmoonari]

impromptu speed cleaning and filming Katie is a sweet, mildly chaotic lady with a special place in my heart right next to the usual business owner but still sweet, kind, and massively endearing, same old Katie.

[@NaBa.O3O]

The pumpkin jelly soaps were so cute though! The fact they behave and sound like flan is actually a plus for me.

[@TheSparklyBeader87]

Katie, the teal blouse at the end matches your eyes. Cute candle, but an enormous amount of time for a $5 kit.❤

[@B1T3F0RC3]

aaaah, yesss. quick fun doesn't fill the void of emotional connection and feeling like you're part of a real community

[@Theolynn]

I really want the failed video! 😅 I love watching all of the content you put out and jelly soaps are so fascinating

[@lightdreamer_]

Your energy is EVERYTHING Preparing stuff to leave tomorrow. You're quite the best prep buddy

[@saracooper6187]

So lovely spending time with you, Katie. Love the longer videos 😊

[@Kmia0206]

I love this cleaning episode you are being you and I literally burst into tears with the obsession of the jelly soap. 😂you’re such a fun person to hang out with

[@ericasibley8086]

OMG......I love that you are so secure in who you are that this little impromptu video is the very best. Please know we love the real you as much, if not more than that scripted Lady. Keep being YOU!!!!

[@Callowlily3802]

I have this mold and by far the easiest way to punch the centers out of the middle is to take the end of a thin craft paint brush and just punch it through the hole. It's no time and you can get them all done within a minute this way

[@cherylfelton4030]

I am tempted to get that kit just for the embed mold.. I work with resin and this would be super cute to use in jewellery making

[@seanroberts5602]

Same 😂

[@mistytodd935]

Oh my goodness! So I am sitting here watching this video on my TV, my phone is sitting next to me. When Katie said “hey Siri, set a timer for 1 hour”, MY phone heard her and Siri set a timer on mine too lol.

[@TheHrasty]

Thanks for the timer, Katie 😂 my Homepod listened

[@cburgos09]

Hahaha I am crying! “This looks like flan” 😂😂😂 I needed this laugh! Thank you!!

[@felinemoonchild]

13:36 KATIE YOU MADE MY SIRI SET A TIMER 🤣

[@evelina4909]

YEA! Katey has uploaded again! 😊❤

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

When I watch you’re videos literally the crud going on in my life doesn’t matter for these minutes because ya just make that part of my day better. Thanks, y’all! (yeah, “y’all” because I know it’s not just Katie, it’s everybody else who helps make your Royal world go ‘round!)😂 Hugz, Tree

[@shyguylite1397]

Waiiittt I just saw a cereal candle for sale on TikTok shop recently 😮 what a coincidence… or is it🤨🤣

[@helenenjenga9000]

Honestly, I appreciate your open content it's real and a breath of fresh air.

[@martykimp7751]

love your personality, it’s just what i need when im having a hard day

[@dixie407]

I watch your videos to sleep your videos are so calming and light hearted and it’s a great tone to end the night on when you live in a not so calm and happy household

[@ambivert_ed]

agree with the vlogs, grwm type chill videos! as much as i love watching short-form videos, i get bored of them easily but not with vlogs and stuff. i just like knowing how ppl are doing in their lives, the good and the bad (in a non nosy way) 🙌

[@beautifulchande]

Katie, I have the exact same cup in the same color and I love it!

[@NorseButterfly]

I've found all kinds of neat finds at 5Below! From cozy socks, home decor, car accessories, greeting cards, holiday decorations, silicone ice molds, toys, electronics, to makeup, nail polish, and hair stuff. It's not always the best quality, but if you're on a tight budget, kids don't care and neither does your secret Santa receiver!

[@BMarie774]

Woah, for $5 that’s an adorable candle! I’d use it decoratively honestly lol.

[@isabellev799]

Thank you for the little tipps and tricks. I didn't know about the recycling codes or cleaning the glass containers first. You are so generous and kind❤

[@amyevery1]

The beginning of this video with manic Katie, is what my soul needed on a spiritual level. I love you so much 😂❤

[@stephsaguudefan1753]

The craft kit videos are my favorite ones. I love all your videos, but these are particularly fun.

[@philippatill9727]

This is nice. Feels like I've popped round for coffee as I was passing by. 😊

[@SpeedDemonStar]

Thank you! It's so refreshing to see a KZbinr reviewing a cheap product with realistic expectations. It really does annoy me more than it should when people are all "This product is garbage" because they're comparing a product less than $20 to one that costs $80+. Most of the time (with a few exceptions) something that's intended for novelty, beginner-friendly, and affordable enjoyment is not going to be near as good as super-expensive, professional-grade, versions. It's like when art YTers compare washable, $0.50 art supplies like Crayola paint & markers to professional-grade $80+ and then hate on the kid's supplies like, "Haha cheap is bad, look at these fancy supplies I can afford!" but what they always leave out is the clean up. You spend MAYBE 5 minutes wiping off the washable version, but scrubbing the other stuff for hours & still having a permanent stain. Your kid gets a little washable paint on the table, nothing a little water and perhaps a tiny bit of soap can't fix, but you get a speck of some of the super pigmented, professional oil/acrylic paints on that same table & it's forever stained.

[@trishie_V]

I love how you follow instructions to fill the whole mould but also went as far as to drown it

[@MaeLanae]

I just bought my first royalty soaps soap!!! I’m so excited to have my very own highland cow🥰💜

[@helenamirian908]

I just washed with one for the first time! Always gave them away the 2-3 other times I've ordered. 😅

[@pakai1]

I think this is my favorite Royalty Soaps vid ever, I love Unhinged Katie!

[@invaderjill8054]

There is not enough content like this, yep. 💯 thank you Katie. I love these off the cuff videos. 💜

[@Shanalikeanna]

Katie, I - and I say this with the utmost sincerity - admire you with my entire heart and soul LOLL. Thank you for being relatable and an absolute joy 😂💕

[@KJayPlays]

Yay! This is exactly what I wanted to watch right now! You must be psychic

[@lilmissmoose1]

I am LIVING for manic social commentary soap slapping Katie and I would absolutely be into more of this!

[@username-mk4qv]

What a cute idea for a candle though! Also I agree, I love just hanging out sometimes. Thank you for continuing to deliver this kind of delicious content!

[@abigailc9322]

this is a video i didn't know i needed. a kit review AND katie taught me about recycling codes!

[@nicolerescuericonda5548]

More impromptu videos!! It was fabulous! Loved it! Thanks for making it!

[@ryannheninger1602]

My favorite videos are your sit and hangout videos!!! Please do more.

[@shawnthompson3963]

Omg I've never used jelly soap and they still look amazing I'd take em box em up and let me know how much shipping it 😂

[@LoveNathasha]

You reviewing these kits is my favorite thing!

[@BellalinaBallerina]

I really loved the relaxed atmosphere of this video

[@mxriot]

soy wax blends typically do want a longer cure time for embeds! for some of my larger embeds, i let them sit for 24hr, especially if they're fragranced

[@jackiemartin8250]

This a great video. I truly enjoy all your videos but one was so honest and authentic. Loved it. Thank you for doing it

[@meredithrollins6429]

I used to watch you all the time and just found you again from you doing the NerdE crafter video. My heart is so happy to see you again!

[@meredithrollins6429]

Also I think cleaning Katie was an awesome welcome back. It was nice to see real life you right off the bat! And we have the same necklace

[@harrietroser6021]

Hey Katie!! I doubt you will read this or see it, but I would like to say a massive thank you! I bought yet another one of your monthly soap collection soaps (the Aquarium Buddy soap) because of how amazing you are and I was so thrilled when I opened my box yesterday as you had sent me a little pot of sugar scrub! It smells so dang good! This makes me so happy as you are literally one of my favourite KZbinrs and you bring me so much joy when I watch you videos and now I have joy when I use your products!! I live in the UK so obviously I have to pay more for shipping but I will now keep buying your soaps as you put so much care and kindness into your business! Thanks again! 🌸❤

[@HunterRaider13]

heck I might get this kit and use my own fragrances and colorants for it! It honestly looks like a lot of fun.

[@micstone871]

The chaos cleaning was so satisfying

[@vlb1979]

Best intro ever to a video, I loved it. Thank you for keeping it real Katie 😊

[@hazelunicorn2734]

Lol this is the content we need in holiday season

[@hazelunicorn2734]

The chaos is so good

[@mookzmom]

Love impromptu videos, especially crafts related ones. I'd love to have seen the jelly soap one too, even though it failed. You make it all fun❤

[@dianehedricks7860]

I AM CRACKING UP!!!! This whole video was HILARIOUS!!!! Thank you so much for making my day!!!

[@Oheyyitsmegan]

You should recreate this in your own style with the product you endorse! I love to see this again, but how you would do it!

[@rachysnip]

Seems really good value for the experience and the mold. You could use it to do cereal bits for inside of clear soaps or resin craft, after you've made the cool candle. Could you also maybe do a layer or clear with cereal bits at the bottom and then the top could be a solid colour with scent and then you could burn the candle for longer with the bits in? If that made sense. In a tall clear candle container?

[@MrsTrafford]

Katie said “Siri” and all of our phones and watches woke up and tried to set 1 hour timers. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ryleesilva8072]

Was coming to comment this 😂

[@AnneMaaikie]

This was such a chill video, thank you❤

[@danielleking262]

I love your craft kit videos !!!!! ❤

[@amberkumar4514]

Katie. I have been in the ZONE the last week- needing less sleep, most productive I've ever been, hyperfocused and fabulous. Nothing in my life has sent me Helter Skelter the way "I'm a little manic" just did. My first reaction was like 'I love that, put that on a T shirt' but then I just froze and was like 'OH MY GOD AM I MANIC'

[@JeniaJohnson-in9hr]

🎉live this, love this!! it was so cute!! thank u for the video & like others said ,the whole video, intro & all cause love seeing a natural person just like us!! wonderful katie!!

[@TurtlesAndTortoises302]

This is the best video I've watched in ages 😂 it was fun

[@yaybmo5155]

I would buy this for the bowl, the mold, and the wax alone!

[@slowlylivingemilia]

Thanks for hanging out with us Katie

[@IQTech61]

You have the mold, the colorants, scents, wicks, and bowls. I bet you could make one that looks great, smells better, and burns longer. :) Oh -- fruit loops soap bar!

[@potatertot360]

Need to make a loop of Katie just slappin' the jelly soaps, LOL.

[@sharbean]

Very cute candle. That random piece of glitter over your left brow in the outro was glinting at me and I was hoping it didn't fall into your eye.

[@marjanteraa7654]

I found you by surprise but I have so much respect for you. You are doing so good. Like it

[@lizapixie626]

Love the energy in this video

[@rosaliac.386]

Okay wait tho, that cup recommendation is actually hugely helpful thank you so much!!!

[@HillbillyAcresSoapery]

3 minutes into the video & already know that I’ll be watching this video more than once. That intro has me dying😂🤣😂

[@Thukfudo]

It's always a good assumption that new containers (or anything) has residue from production on it. Or just dust from storage. Metal, plastics, glass. For food things the easiest way to get rid of it just to put it in the dishwasher if it's safe. Just washing it with dish soap is fine as well. For crafting I think isopropyl alcohol is a really good idea! Since you can just give your container a quick wipe down.

[@NevyardVlogs]

When you talked about clovers and emotional connection, I immediately thought of Michel Janse. I think you'd like her.

[@AllabackA]

Hi Katie! would you be willing to make a wick size recommendation chart? :) Thanks for the lovely content - I love giving your soaps as gifts (including to myself!)

[@annaschemel471]

The intro was everything I needed today. I really wish you did swipe everything off the table 😅

[@amandawilliams1981]

THIS IS THE AWESOME KATIE I LOVE TO WATCH!!!

[@noellev9332]

Yes yes!!!! More videos like this!!!

[@UFOCrochet]

You would like the KZbin Channel Planning with Bumble. Mary Ellen just hangout and chats with you while she set up her decorative planner spreads. As well as give you ideas for your own.
