this strawberry kiwi soap smells amazing

[@pixietwitch]

Why are your videos so calming even though you are bubbly? Because your bubbly personality is so genuine! You aren't putting on a show for the people watching. Your happiness can be contagious in all the best ways. Add to that the visual aspect of your soap making: the blending, pouring and mixing. They come together for the best dopamine hit many of us get in a day.

[@Petsbr]

So true.

[@nerolallo]

Well said! And something about the happy wholesomeness Katie also have! I love these videos and i totally use these as nights to relax and as a comfort show ❤️

[@margaretalizaedin2385]

agree ! have watched Katie for about 5 - 6 years and Bubbly is the right word to describe her! ❤❤😊

[@stephsaguudefan1753]

Definitely, I watch Katie when I can't sleep because there is NOTHING unhappy or stressful in her videos so it's the perfect mindset to be in before bed.

[@jaridearnest5821]

I agree bubbly is the right word! It's like cleansing for the soul. ASMR if you will. Most people try to fake it and get views and Katie just does what she does and puts out her authentic self!

[@AmazedbyGrace95]

Your ability to hold the large containers of batter so securely, pour with confidence, AND talk to us without a shake in your voice is ALWAYS impressive 🎉

[@justkibby5959]

Cosmo and Wanda ain't slick 😂

[@justkibby5959]

I don't like kiwi but my daughter eats the whole thing, fuzzy skin and all

[@yuffduf]

@@justkibby5959 Oh, no...

[@savannaridgway2330]

They never are (I also eat the entire kiwi, skin and all 👀)

[@Wyldthorn]

Having a positive happy voice as one of the last things you hear before you go to bed is nice. It ends the day on a positive note in a way.

[@lanasinapayen3354]

Your videos are relaxing because even when you're stressing out about a paranormal color morph or a riced soap, you never sound angry or like super disappointed or even stressed. You're laughing all the way and taking life on the bright side, so when I watch your videos I know I don't have to stress either! PS: I'm not saying you shouldn't have your downs or always pretend to be happy or anything! But it's like watching a Disney movie and knowing that the end will be happy even if stuff happens in the middle

[@rockermom77]

Caleb's little additions in the editing process just take me out!😂

[@noellev9332]

Came here looking for this! The gif of lifting soap was so great

[@ArchLali]

Sometimes I play a random video from your channel to sleep 😅 you're voice is that relaxing.

[@kathrynwilliams669]

I am from New Zealand so I am a Kiwi. A kiwi is a bird. The symbol of our country. We call them Kiwifruit. It seems weird hearing you call kiwifruit kiwi. The soap looks so bright and happy!

[@JodiLeaSnakeQueen]

You won my husband over with your soaps! His skin isnt having bad reactions anymore! I got the "best doggo" soap as a gift and he loves it along with the dear diary

[@berlyn3014]

One of the reasons you're so relaxing is because you're real. You're not putting on a show and you're just yourself. Some creators you can tell they're playing a persona and not being themselves. Knowing I can click on your videos and get the real deal is calming. Even when things aren't going great and you let us know, I'm like I understand that so much and appreciate you feel you can share. I feel you really want the best for everyone and want everyone to have a good day. We can come here and not have to think, just relax and enjoy your content.

[@S..K_]

Oh, a new Royalty Soaps video is exactly what I need right now! ❤ 😊

[@sheenatalks8529]

Ditto!

[@RoyaltySoaps]

AWWWW YAY!!! Happy Wednesday!!!

[@firdowskruger9896]

You and me both. Love from Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

[@sandymorris9564]

Agreed 👍 ❤😊

[@stephsaguudefan1753]

Same. I lost my grandma on Friday and it's been quite a week so far, I need some joy in my life and Katie is perfect.

[@kristibunny1620]

Its me lol I find youre content super relaxing 🖤 Bubbly and no “heavy” content. All the versions of mixing make my brain so happy and a tiny sense of completion watching the whole soap bar. “Do something nice for yourself” for me thats going to sleep 🖤 thanks again! Always awsome to watch!

[@Fyreflier]

Love that you thought about kiwi allergies - I don't have one but I genuinely went to school with a girl who was allergic to both strawberries _and_ kiwis so this soap would have been a nightmare for her if not for your consideration!

[@RebeccaRivera4shmily]

I’ve been watching for years not since the beginning but quite awhile and I attest to the “bubbly” demeanor; which I adore. Anywho I’ve run into local marketers who have been inspired by your soaps as have I. Not selling anything but since fall of 2023 I’ve begun making soap for myself. PricklyPear being my latest which has a similar design.

[@suzanne5238]

Kiwi has a special place in my heart. My grandparents had a huge kiwi in their garden. We are trying to grow one two. It's big and had flowers but no fruits yet. Turns out she needed some boyfriends. We bought them hopefully we get kiwifruit this year!!

[@juliacoffournic]

Half a white soap cane in the green layer would look soooooo cool! Like sliced kiwi 🥝

[@Bexinmo]

I don't know why, but I feel like there is something magical coming for you. You are such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your craft with us.

[@CheyenneRose]

Oh my goodness, not only is the soap so sweet, but I looooove the evening Katie vibe! I'm definitely someone who watches soapy videos to calm down at night and yours are always wonderful. 😊 Good night to all my fellow night owls out there...

[@brittstok]

I have always found your videos so calming! It’s like hanging out with a best friend I don’t get to see very often, just catching up and making some soap. I’ve been a subscriber for years and can honestly say I even watch your older videos sometimes just to get me a little closer to falling asleep! 💕

[@alexandrawinegardner4561]

Katie, I have been binging your videos the past few weeks as my "soap studio" flooded and I haven't been able to make anything. It is killing me! lol So I turned to your videos to fulfill my soapy needs. I am so ready to get back to soaping, but while they are repairing the damage and putting in a new floor, I am here on your channel. Thank you!

[@charlottabrower7968]

When I was a kid back in the 60s I begged my mom for kiwi at the farm market all the time (weekly). It was expensive, but she finally bought me some. I couldn’t believe how good it was! It was so exotic back in the day. I am the kind of person who hears fruit and am willing to try anything. Coffee beans are fruit and sweet before roasting…if anyone is interested in that tidbit.

[@S..K_]

great soap design, but I also loved the colour combo between the first pink layer and the colour of the silicone mold.😍

[@toxicbangbang]

I absolutely love that you still sell your oopsie bars. This color combo would look so good in my 70s mushroom themed bathroom.

[@GaytanFamilyFarm]

Well, I'm too busy, as a mom of 5 with tons of goats and puppies, the evening is the only time I can sit and watch. 😂 love your channel ❤️

[@chiarellocello]

Yeees! It is relaxing because it's hard for me to be so distracted that I "forget" my anxiety at night, so I dont need videos that hype me up too much and I dont need videos that bore me, I need that sweet spot that you're giving. I can watch the process of the soap making, learn new details and hear you speak about nothing crazy, nothing dramatic, nothing that will keep me up at night.

[@bethstolte7847]

I watch tour videos when I’m doing stationary chores like cooking or dishes. Also when I’m washing my face at night. Lol

[@noorasorola2977]

Ah yes! I have been catching up your videos worth of two freaking years I think, and I've been watching them every night when I go to sleep. I always tell my friends "I'm gonna go watch the soap videos"! I love your bubbly personality and it makes me happy just before falling asleep.

[@judevicious3333]

I don't typically use your videos to sleep, but tonight I did. I think the reason why people do it regularly is because you are such a fun and loving person that you're comfortable to be in the presence of. I would imagine that makes people feel comfortable and safe helping them to relax before bed that's what makes sense to me

[@armythecat]

Kiwi is probably my favourite fruit ever, I genuinely find it super cute when you slice it up and see the seed pattern~ The taste is AMAZING too~

[@daphnereal3129]

I love that they're called peasant bars.

[@vnmanning745]

Hey Katie! I'm pretty sure both kiwis and pineapples contain protease enzymes - these break down proteins which usually causes tingly and fuzzy feelings in the mouth when you eat a lot. If it's an immediate reaction it's way more likely to be an allergy though. Kiwi is probably a favorite fruit of mine. I really love strawberry kiwi flavors and scents!

[@MichelleHackbarth]

I love watching all of your videos. I love your bubbly personality. When I am having a bad day and I see one of your videos I am no longer having a bad day after watching you. Thank for being your authentic self.

[@naturalllyericaaa]

Currently watching this video at night to wind down😂 idk how to explain it your videos are very bubbly, fun, and entertaining but also relaxing and soothing

[@samanthasmith4725]

I watch all.kinds of videos to wind down my night. I find watching other crafters interesting. Especially one who are honest and themselves sharing their craft and being inclusive to all.

[@trisa591]

This turned out so beautiful

[@abbyshabbby]

Its giving cosmo and wanda and I am totally here for it

[@tammymackenzie5235]

I love watching your videos while I'm working. I make melt and pour soaps, and I usually watch you while I'm beveling/wrapping/supply ordering/processing/making listings/figuring out costs, etc. You and your energy inspire me. Thank you!!!

[@lisaroper421]

Strawberry Kiwi was my absolute favorite flavor as a young kid. I still love it!

[@evavargova42]

Discount for y'all peasants out there!! 😂😂😂😂 Freaking hilarious ❤. Whoever took that to heart,....welllll....just wishing them a better day. As a fellow peasant here 😂😂😂, I'm all about awesome soaps !!!

[@feathercloud_ruby2475]

I used to hate kiwis, they always made my mouth feel weird, but then about a month ago I thought I'd try one again just to see and now I love it !! Also I usually watch your videos when I'm getting ready for the day on weekends, so your bubbly personality kind of helps me get up and motivated for homework haha

[@DutchessDivinity]

I watch you before bed I think cus you & your content are so wholesome 🙂 your videos & attitude are always positive, genuine & kind. You never post scary or upsetting things, you share your human mistakes with grace kindness to yourself even when stuff goes in an unexpected way, it’s just a nice safe space & it makes your content great to watch before bed or to relax/wind down to. Plus the way you interact with us is like friends which is very nice ♥️ you being silly & uplifting is the cherry on top! 🍒 🍰

[@MissySimpleM]

I bought my first artisan soap this week. I thought I didn't like soap bars because they always left my hands feeling weird. Turns out I just don't like the soaps regularly sold in stores. I really like the cold process soap I bought 😍thank you Katie, I never would've bought that soap if it wasn't for your videos

[@shioramenrabbit]

I shall be taking this as a sign. This is my first year selling my soap (I've been making for several years, because I went on a whole youtube arc where I watched you, and tiggy, and a bunch of other soapmakers obsessively for 6 months and then finally made a bunch for xmas gifts one year) and my spring collection really wearied me. A couple of the soaps really didn't do what I wanted them to, I had to rebatch one because a rose oil seized on me, I had to re-do another because the pomegranate fragrance morphed to straight cinnamon (saving that one for release in the autumn, it's fine). I just want a nice well-behaved soap.

[@Lafantia]

I looooooove this design, it's so simple but just pure perfection, the seeds elevated it so much. And I love kiwi and strawberry smell, oh, such a bummer I won't be able to buy this one

[@blakely207]

The bar of soap reminds me of two things from my childhood! It's the same exact colors as my elementary school softball team (The Shockers) and the container of my mom's waterproof mascara that she used when i was growing up!

[@daphnereal3129]

That's so cute! It's like a kiwi bubblegum look

[@____Ann____]

True! The pink is more like bubblegum than strawberry.

[@andrea-rq1fe]

I watch your videos to relax too although not just to relax. I love your energetic personality but yet it’s still so calming to watch.

[@TheCallieLilly]

Katie, it's your KINDNESS and sweet nature that is relaxing, just soending time with a genuinely good, positive person. That's what it is, not the video itself... It's YOU and your vibes Honey 💜

[@Grumpy_gurl]

As bubbly as you can be on any of your videos, you are just relaxing to watch and listen too.

[@julliajuls]

I have, more than once, fallen asleep while watching your videos. I assure you, they are weirdly so calming and relaxing even tho you're a bubbly kind of person. Thank you for making the videos, I absolutely love watching them ❤

[@ronniseguin]

I love WATCHING your videos ...but I also love falling asleep to them lol ( and then re-watching!)

[@lanatowler2384]

Thank you for adding the updated batch photos!

[@louisemurray8459]

I watch you every night and to be honest I think your genuine aura just calms me makes me feel warm inside it’s a cruel world out there and I think it’s nice to watch someone that makes you feel happy and lighter at the end of the video 😊

[@misterdraven478]

so glad you didn't change the pink

[@shastachenry8289]

I think a cute detail would be to add a pale cane into the green to make it look like the heart of the kiwi - either a circle or half circle flush with the pink. *love this soap and love kiwi fruit

[@giraffel3859]

I didn’t know others do the same thing as me. I mostly watch your videos at night especially during my nightly routine of brushing my teeth etc. It’s a bubbly wind down that keeps my attention and energy up to so I don’t cut my routine, but not enough to make me want to move furniture at 9pm lol

[@meaty-lemoniad4819]

Your videos are warm and comforting and safe feeling! They are very nice to listen to around bedtime :]

[@FaithP_1997_]

I had a minor allergy to kiwi when I was a kid but it’s still one of my favorite fruits and doesn’t affect me anymore.

[@makadoodledoo]

I have a kiwi fruit allergy and bc it doesnt come up often I dont usually worry about it but knowing that you didnt use actual kiwi makes me really happy

[@jasminsantana1347]

This was a great soap! I love the calm, chill, simple vibe❤❤. All of your videos are 😙🤌💕.

[@thundercookie3214]

I ordered myself a self-care parcel with a lot of frosted but also some simpler soaps. To reward and treat myself when things are rough or I can't afford a day at a professional spa so I can have a mini-spa event at home. And I absolutely LOVE AND ADORE the simplicity rose and sea salt. It is such a good fragrance and I love how luxurious it feels! My skin feels so smooth afterwards. Most of the time, I can just forego lotion because the soap doesn't feel like its drying my skin out. I am so excited to get into the other soaps once I used up this bar.

[@Lhene9]

I can't go back to normal soap after trying handmade soaps. Handmade is so much nicer to skin! I also stopped using lotion after making the switch :)

[@Fangybite]

I love kiwis. When I'm too lazy to peel and slice, I just buy sungolds so I can eat them straight up. No fuzz, no problem (and slightly less tangy than normal kiwi).

[@Eliza_and_Odin]

That green looks SO much better than I thought it was going to come out!!!

[@angelapplepie]

Love you Katie!

[@DevilishDaysxMaui]

I might buy this whole collection… I cant resist fruit scented soaps!!

[@jaynnnewell4722]

I would be so tempted to use different fragrance oils in each half, strawberry in the bottom and kiwi on top (or reversed for CHAOS), even though I doubt anyone would notice in the final product.

[@betteonme_]

i am one of those who watches your videos at night! i think it's the sort of routine of your soapmaking videos that's really nice and relaxing. i can watch 5 in a row and they all carry similar cadences, if that makes sense! repetitive, but NOT in a boring way!!

[@NaturalMackie]

Love that soap and yes I like to watch soap videos, including Katie’s to wind down. Idk if that’s indication of my stress levels that bubbly is calming. 😂🥰

[@Fiiscreativemoods]

You know how they say less is more. This soap is perfect!

[@laurenjerzak8526]

You have been part of my night routine for the last year ❤ I watch you or Evan&Kaitlin and then go to sleep 😴

[@WitchVampZoe]

I get that same feeling when I eat kiwi, always have. It was actually only a few years ago that a friend told me not everyone gets it and that it means I'm probably allergic. 😂 I also usually watch these videos at night. My day time is for watching gaming videos, then while I get ready to sleep I watch you and other artistic KZbinrs. 😌

[@majso0n_]

it's actually 10pm where i live, just sitting and sculpting a moon shaped watercolor tray :D

[@coribolle6417]

💜 I took a long break from making soap and I'm just starting to get back in the swing of things. Love this soap I think it turned out beautifully.

[@corina5759]

For the question of the day: I have pretty much the same reaction to kiwi as your dad! I like to describe it as the feeling of burning your tongue on a hot drink, but my entire mouth. I think it's safe to say I don't like kiwi, but I love the way the soap looks! Pink and green are one of my favorite color combos!

[@sarahdawn8114]

These are so pretty. Love the colors even as they are!

[@Kat_Author2021]

I love kiwis! The yellow ones are sweet and the green ones are tart. :D

[@lizzieizzard]

So excited waiting for a soap arriving from you arriving today here in Oz -

[@Marie-4Him]

A lovely lovely soap, colors too. It looks fresh and inviting. As a soap maker, I also absolutely love all kinds of soap styles.

[@ShellyS2060]

That soap was so pretty! I'm gonna give a peasant a home😘

[@taylordillard3056]

I absolutely watch your videos before I go to bed! Something about your personality and voice is so calming and I’m here for it! 🥰❤️

[@Random_Kelsey]

I'm excited for this collection--your fruit soaps have always been my favorite! I'm especially happy because I saw there's a now a soap of the month sampler's pack, which is so great to get to try all of the batches without buying five or six huge bars of soap.

[@mouse589c5]

I am relaxing! Giod night, Katie. Thanks for the good vibes.

[@annwitten4359]

I’m not a huge fruity flavor girl but I love your soaps no matter what smell that have!! Plus, the fruity smells remind me of my late hubby- who really loved your strawberry soaps!!! 💜💜💜

[@witchskee]

I looooooooove kiwis ❤❤❤ I like when they're not completely ripe so they're a little tart the best 😊

[@sunnyscott4876]

You've hit the trifecta of life...charming, smart, and talented. Who could ask for anything more? 😊❤🎉❤😊

[@KA-bl1ht]

Can you do a video on making cute individual soaps? I think that would be so cute. Like a flower or a shell, like your inbeds but fist sized. Love your vids!~

[@Ladeehope]

It’s funny, I just watched this to wind down from work and you mentioned people watching your videos to wind down! WOW! You read my mind!

[@Victoryshout_nz]

When I was a child in the 60s, kiwifruit were actually called "Chinese Gooseberries". In the 70s, they started to export them to the USA and the world, so needed a brand name. They called them "kiwifruit" then. They aren't known as 'kiwis' in New Zealand because a kiwi is a flightless bird here.

[@LeeLee-hz2jq]

Also we call ourselves Kiwis

[@MaritSchulte]

Kiwis are amazing! Love the yellow/gold kiwis especially :) Kiwi berries on the other hand are very strange haha

[@kellypeterson7139]

Thanks for sharing your experience!!! For me, you're the best❤❤❤

[@cliviascreations]

I love both, but the first one is my fav

[@SultryPickle]

OMG Can you imagine a series inspired by the best bath and bidy works smells from the 90s?! I can smell the cucumber melon!

[@katierobbins7962]

I can almost smell that soap, I bet it smells amazing ❤

[@debmusselman2374]

I love it! This soap looks perfect to me ❤

[@Kmia0206]

I love those bars really pretty ❤

[@PlumCrazyHomesteader]

I love kiwis! Pretty soap!

[@arikajensen3213]

I love these colors together!! Reminds me of the room I had when I was little. I love the kiwi sent in soaps. I am not allergic to kiwi so that's a good thing! I may get one of these bars!

[@kell0125]

I love kiwi 🥝 I can't get enough of them

[@ogspooky9901]

I am not a soap maker otherwise I would definitely take my own advise but I think it would bring out a nice contrast if you threw in some white seeds in the pink the way strawberries have their own little seeds. It still looks lovely especially after the slight change to the green to match the vibrancy of that pink!

[@diam1381]

FWIW, I miss the longer videos.❤
