This was SUPPOSED to be a relaxing soap...

[@licoriceveins9632]

It's always the WORST when people of your craft judge you for mistakes, as if any of them are free of their own. I personally appreciate seeing professionals show their mishaps, and have a lot of respect for people who have no problem showing they're not perfect! Your perseverance in the chaos to finish rather than giving up is also incredibly inspiring too!

[@slytherinmama5379]

My favorite creators are the ones who show the experiments and learning opportunities. Pretending mistakes never happen is unrealistic and just turns me off of someone's content.

[@LadyGecko]

You realize that Katie is a soap maker, which would mean that she is just as judgmental.

[@licoriceveins9632]

@LadyGecko what kind of logic is that? You do realize there are judgmental people in EVERY craft right??? Like this is actually such a stupid take, please think before speaking next time.

[@LadyGecko]

@@licoriceveins9632 - you should take your own advice and shut your mouth

[@altariia]

​@@LadyGecko we all make judgements, but there's a huge difference between seeing someone make a mistake and think about it than actually putting it out into the world. The difference is being able to turn that unconscious thought (that we all have) around, and put into the world something positive. "That's really hard to do, and it came out so great in the end!" "Wow, I've done similar mistakes and wasn't brave enough to let others see it, well done" Or whatever

[@lestupidunicorn]

i actually love how the top turned out for this theme, it reminds me of piles of crunchy leaves

[@mwater_moon2865]

agree, and the fragrance sounds wonderful, I'll take chunky style for a sweet smell But I do have to wonder if the back stash mica had a hand in the odd activity, because the brown seems to have more issues faster than the red for instance

[@shadowkissed2370]

It reminds me of sitting around a fire with friends.

[@echlobee]

my favorite time of the year is when katie starts to say "autumnal" 🧡

[@shintanetagawa]

Im going to have to break it to you. I actually really love it. To me, personally, the rough top, chunks of color, random tiny holes, it makes me think of large piles of fallen leaves. I would absolutely buy them.

[@SapphirePrimrose]

9:10 To be fair, the question didn't say you could never eat again, just that you don't _have to_ 😉 So you could still eat whatever and whenever you want, it just would be a treat and not neccessary for survival.

[@kreuz.control]

My question is does not having to eat affect my body composition or am I stuck with the body I have forever if it can no longer be affected by calories or lack thereof?

[@stickitydoodah]

Do I get hungry? Do I get tired?

[@stickitydoodah]

Is this the ultimate "I have no mouth and I must scream"

[@angel_vii]

This soap turned out looking like magical crunchy piles of autumn leaves! I love it!

[@funwithgubbles4139]

Soap maker here. I’m literally just happy to see it’s not just me. That even you have issues from time to time 😊

[@audreyhunts]

Never have to eat or sleep? Sleep for me. But the key word it never HAVE to, you still can if you want to. So you can still try different foods if you want to. Live to eat not eat to live.

[@finecallmejane]

Okay but this batch here looks like some sort of delicious marble cake! Which...works with the theme of this collection.

[@princessjesstarca]

The big chunks remind me of the late 90s/early 00s bath and body works soaps. There were clear chunks it seemed in every bar soap. Would not be hard to find an Elder Millennial wanting to reminisce with a soap like that. 😊

[@mayawillms3596]

I really hope this batch is peasanted! This is exactly the sort of soap that I would love to buy, and it being a peasant would allow me to buy some other autumn soaps as well! (fall soaps are my favourite!!)

[@Waterflame]

If I never had to sleep, I would be able to do so much more fun stuff! I could actually play D&D with my friends who live in Australia and New Zealand in a time that works well for them!! I could catch up on all the shows I've been wanting to see but don't have time to watch! Same with all the books I have been wanting to read!

[@carolynkid216]

Your soap is just fine the way it is. It's homemade. Rustic. Certainly 'sell' worthy. That said, it's nice that you would donate it. Blessings to you.

[@venturesr0963]

That is amazing soap! Sell it as is! The rustic autumn style looks phenomenal. As a soapmaker, I get where you are at with how we see our soaps and truly appreciate how sometimes they get funny and still look like artistry.

[@ladymsoaps]

As a fellow soap maker I get it. I just made a soap with an apple cinnamon scent that got thick on me. Luckily I was frosting it but the inside of it I was totally judging when I cut it, but everyone’s comments on it loved it. We’re our own worst critics 😂

[@nicoleschiarizzi3014]

i'm always impressed by your ability to stay calm when a batch gets out of hand. You're amazing, Katie!

[@rebeccakempen8822]

Glitter/ sparkles solves everything ✨

[@ImNotACatLawyerButIPlayOneOnTV]

Finally, a soap collection that resonates with my soul 🧋☕🍵

[@rawbathandbeauty]

Oh katie! This happens to me often and I just go with it too! My customers never seem to care but I know its not my vision!!

[@mollyraymff]

The top reminds me of a crackling fire in autumn....Beautiful soap!!

[@kaelsomerville]

I LOVE how much it looks like flames on top!

[@dianecoffey464]

I get a batch like this once and awhile. It's frustrating at best, but I still like the quality of my soap. I call it my drop and plop soap. At least it's not a soap on a stick soap. No judgment here!! Most times we roll with whatever we get. I am not a fall color person but the colors match the scent.

[@xyztia12]

I keep the odd chunks on a tray let them cure and save them in a container and when I have enough I make a confetti soaps.

[@florenceroses]

Absolutely never sleep! That's so much more time than cooking and eating!

[@breakmydreams]

I love the colors of the soap and the scent sounds like a yummy one as well

[@echobend6]

Whatever lip color you’re wearing in this intro suits you so well! Your make up is so pretty!

[@owldimtell8111]

Usually the soaps where the batter gets too thick are my favourite ones, i love the big blobs of colour 😍

[@allim135]

I love so much that you show the bad batches and mistakes and how to just roll with creation. It's very uplifting!

[@missymess3ify]

I got Hunger Games vibes from this! I love it

[@danaevelyn7384]

Katie saying eating takes up so much time as if we don’t spend 1/3 of our lives asleep lol

[@littleblacklamb]

For some resson I really miss having a stamp on this soapbar. Like a leaf or something other drink or autumn related.

[@shioramenrabbit]

Love that top! It looks so fiery and bronze!!!

[@SagacityLost]

I really needed your happy face today, thank you for posting ❤

[@folkloricasoap]

This would make a great layered soap. That's about the only way I can work with fragrances that accelerate that much, and it would look awesome with those colors.

[@schellsc]

The top reminds me of flames! I love it!

[@beahwatson]

love the theme, happy friday katie!! 🩷

[@annischon793]

Glitter does always help :D in any kind of situation😄😊

[@nariu7times328]

ok I had my stomach removed a couple of years ago and its super hard to not be able to eat. (I can eat, but very limited) because, he said never HAVE to sleep not ever sleep. I would still when I wanted to, but I could also get up in the middle of the night and work - like right now :)

[@FranticPanther]

Love the top tbh. Looks a bit like a bonfire. Perfect for fall and roasting marshmallows!

[@Pixels_and_Points]

I like the big areas of color. They remind me of falling leaves. Happy Fall, y'all!

[@rachelshaferly5524]

When in dought add glitter, that's my motto when crafting anything. I love your videos.

[@Amber-zc3xj]

Katie, it was my birthday yesterday and even though I got to do something fun, my birthday is always a rough day for me. I've been in an ongoing mental health crisis which is unfortunately a yearly occurrence now. Your videos help me smile on days like today where I'm struggling with a lot of feelings. Thank you for always providing a smile, an adorable giggle, sharing your passion, and just being willing to share that you're human. Your videos feel like I'm hanging out with the golden retriever friend that my black cat self desperately needs! ❤

[@lamacchiasulmuso]

this was so fun to watch, thank you!! ❤❤❤

[@HeatherConfettiStitcher]

Never sleep. I would get so much more crafting done

[@lyndawest8612]

You say future batches won’t be so choppy. What do you change to make that statement true? Loved that you were able to ‘save’ it.

[@imaybeanidiotbut9338]

I think if she did an in the pot swirl rather than in the mold swirl it would fix it. So just dump the colors into the big pot and pour into the mold.

[@intuitivelee]

It looks great! Honestly other than the holes, which we have all had, I’ve never met a bar of soap without redeeming aspects of beauty! I like it and I bet it smells divine!

[@DonnaWhittingham]

Question for you - if a fragrance solution (can't remember if that was an oil or not) thickens up a soap that much that fast, does it mean the soap will hit saponification that much faster? I am fascinated by the chemical processes and reactions that go into making soap like this! I'm glad you show us the good, the bad, and the ugly in your soap making and the non-soap making parts of your world! You are doing a great job!

[@Luci_Darling]

Its always the cinnamon that's the fickle pickle, but it always smells wounder full if you can get it to co-operate

[@saraxles]

Oooh my goodness, whoever edits your videos is HILARIOUS !

[@krymsonuchiha14]

Im happy a new video came out. I messed up my first two batches but im trying a third time this week, so im determined to make the third time a charm!❤❤❤

[@TheAlternativesCandleCompany]

The top reminds me of flames, it looks really cool! Also, never HAVE to eat again. I would totally eat by choice still. I need sleep for the escape.

[@ogspooky9901]

I was just going to comment that it looks like dragon scales! I think the top looks lovely.

[@Queen_Dri]

You are so freaking talented 😊

[@elaineroth4361]

I really like the look of that soap ❤

[@Bexinmo]

Wow, Lilybug has grown up into such a lovely girl!

[@jacquelinewatson3327]

I really like this soap.

[@gabrielles1851]

I like the lava fire/look 🔥🔥🔥

[@shannoniverson4341]

It kinda looks like lava. 😊

[@Nebhet]

My husband might need this collection.

[@jennifermiller1042]

Have you ever considered donating a batch like this as gifts for a shelter or children's hospital? A nice soap can really boost a sad situation! I know the soap bank is awesome but just another way you can help locally.

[@arikas_designs23]

Love the fall colors Katie!!!? Can you do an espresso soap bar inspired by Sabrina Carpenter's song espresso?! With the scent being mainly espresso and coffee?? I love fall scents!!! I would choose sleep. Sometimes international foods are too spicy for me. We do venture out with out food and I don't like lots of spice in mine. But sweets, is a yes! Maybe a sweet coffee soap bar would be a good idea! Like a chocolate Martini espresso bar! (With the white whipped icing on the top!)

[@janerymus3524]

I just go with the flow, I had one, just like yours it turned out to be one of my best soap 😂

[@noellev9332]

Love the editing 😅

[@HollyNSwick]

I would buy it!

[@Zardox2]

The top, after being cut, looked kinda like flames on some bars! Maybe you could do a "campfire" soap... and use that oil to help get the "flames" high enough to pull off the effect? Anyway... i am SURE it smells amazing! I just received the fruit cereal soap, and WOW, does it smell great!

[@CardsbyMaaike]

i like the chonky bits, something different and it looks like a sort of terrazzo stone of sorts, maybe this one would be better just layered? for you I mean , I like it we have concrete that has pebbles like that, it's grey with coloured specks but also cool, i like industrial looking things

[@ariela.1752]

lol the humor is real 😂

[@vixenligon1167]

Fire cider comes from nurture soap. It is a beautiful color

[@aromaticessentials9688]

I have fire cider. It's from Nurture Soap. Also, my son's birthday is also Sept 6th. He's going to be 29 this year 😮

[@Brewer8481]

Never have to eat, definitely!

[@mackenziewitman2432]

Katie, how many batches of soap do you make in a day? I've always been curious!

[@mojosbigsticks]

7:02 - Best advice ever - Be kind to your future self.

[@aceaster2657]

A lot of people are saying leaves but the top makes me think of pumpkin actually! Like when carving or when my grandma would make the inside jelly for pumpkin empanadas. Honestly all its missing is some extra kind of decoration for it to pop, happy accident for sure!

[@AngiesASMR]

You've always gotta try and find the silver lining in any situation otherwise, you go crazy!

[@sarahwatts7152]

Is the final soap going to have three distinct layers with the color? Seems like the best way to handle something that accelerates like that. (Not a soapmaker, so feel free to disagree)

[@Sharife444]

Still looks great Katie nobody's gonna know😁

[@archeralex-shop]

As a fellow soap maker…. No judgement here 😂 I had this happen with a vanilla fragrance oil and patchouli essential oil and the way I cried 😭🤣 that’s like the best soap making tip ever, just cram it in the mold, texture the top and glam it up 😅

[@marshellbowman2955]

When you make a soap like this where the batter sets up too fast. Can you cut it instead of worrying about cracking during the gel phase? Or is that even possible? Cuz it looks like you could cut it before it gets too hot and starts to crack.

[@marshellbowman2955]

Like maybe you start to cut before it starts to get hot? I don't know I've made soap but I know where near as good as you are.

[@marshellbowman2955]

But I think it turned out absolutely amazing!!!

[@jennifermetcalfe906]

Curious .. love the fall, favorite time of year, but what happened to the secret soap series? Did I miss something?

[@foundinwords]

I think it looks like a pile of autumn leaves!

[@terramarini6880]

Found a loophole for question of the day. Just because you don't "have" to sleep doesn't mean you can't choose to have a lie down. Therefore I choose not eating. Those soaps look perfectly sales worthy.

[@Howiejj]

LOL!! Why do I enjoy the weird ones more?

[@tonjatutor8525]

Seriously I would absolutely love to have you donate those to me. Lol. I think there beautiful. ❤

[@arbiterprime2145]

ok the fact that this happened to a professional makes me feel better about this happening to me for 2 of my blocks!

[@ASLchica09]

It kinda looks like lava. That could be a very cool soap. The chunky bits of color are like partially melted rocks. Oooooh I'd lava some soap like that!

[@jadalynnorr4005]

Sleeping and eating are my favorite hobbies, taking one away is cruel!! I'd never sleep, think of all the extra time I'd have to eat!

[@meeprific]

Never have to sleep! I love eating, haha

[@nicolascagegoodorbad198]

That’s how thick the trace was on my first batch, needless to say I couldn’t try the drop swirl like I wanted 😂😅😂😅

[@Bexinmo]

How much would a whole slab of peasant soap cost, because I think that soap looks fine (and caramel apples are so divine).

[@Leeza3370]

That's such a hard choice, I don't eat to live I live to eat and then I need a nap 😂

[@roselewis24]

Can I have the no sleeping please? Thank you. Staying awake all night eating cake here I come!!!

[@shannahbanana]

I had an almond fragrance oil do this to me once and I had to move so fast! 🤣

[@VermisTerrae]

I'd love to never need to sleep! I struggle with insomnia and chronic nightmares, and I hate being interrupted doing whatever I'm doing because my meat vessel requires rest.

[@jesb2586]

Ngl, the colours looked very pretty apart from each other, then you put them together and it reminded me of ketchup and mustard

[@livjones2917]

For the question of "Never have to sleep or never have to eat", it could be interpreted as "you could eat or sleep if you wanted to, but you don't have to" ;) I'm probably being cheeky there but would choose to never have to eat, I love sleep too much

[@BeckyA59]

Oh I love to eat and 10:30 I sleep badly so I'd rather not have to sleep. Wish there was smell-o-vision so we could smell this one!

[@pixiesplantation]

Yesterday I decided to film myself making soap and of course this exact thing happened to me lol. I got it in the mold in time but I’m not sure I want to post the video 🫤 People can be so rude even though we all know it happens to everyone!

[@messibessi11]

I wholeheartedly agree with the food thing eating is such a pain

[@ogspooky9901]

Whoever is editing calling those 'taps' is doing a lot of creative freedom with what Katie was doing to that poor mold.

[@sillygoosejuice66]

Are there any...banana scents? 👀🙏 I want all of them

[@IonIsFalling7217]

I could not be more excited for fall. If you didn't have to sleep, you'd have more time freed than by not eating. Also the question doesn't say you CAN'T, just that you don't HAVE to.
