[@ДарьяОсипова-ч1р]

I looooooove random crafting videos! Please do more. Your tought process is very interesting and felt like a master class in creativity.

[@Chaos_Fairy]

I wouldn't mind round two of weird scents. I remember bread, money, pickles, and bacon lol

[@pascalperron7629]

I'm glad that chair company sponsored your video cause you got to have a nice chair which I'm sure you wouldn't have bought for yourself but totally deserve

[@jamiebirdsongs]

No! The lip balm color is so good!! I love that it is subtle and shimmery.

[@rlax7141]

I agree. It looks very natural.

[@kristie5916]

Tinted lip balms require a lot more colorant than you think! I’ve had my fair time of testing

[@Rosewaterdaydreams]

I’ve been obsessed with your videos for years and was finally able to place my first order and I’m so excited!!

[@sunshinem.7741]

Super pumped for any fun happenings in the Royalty Soaps world! Cool randomly inspired videos and crafts like this are always nice to see 😁

[@Nebhet]

I'm grooving out the sweet melodies of Katie crooning while we move the laptop 😂.

[@tiffany7023]

Cuticle balms!

As an environmental scientist who did a few years of bio-engineering first (ADHD got the better of me tho...) I can say that the "no synthetic fragrance" spiel is nothing but a marketing gimmick to make you pay more... An aromatic compound is an aromatic compound, no matter where they came from. It's a few carbon molecules with single and or double bonds and a few other non-carbon molecules attached to it in a specific location... Unlike fabrics or other materials that consist of long chains of molecules it literally makes no difference at all for such small molecules where they come from

[@laevateinn4144]

Also add the fact that "natural" doesn't always mean "environment friendly." There are things naturally sourced but the process generates a lot of waste, or the residues/ intermediates produced can be harmful or pollutant, or even endanger the species you extract the product from. As a chemistry student, one of the first thing they tell us about during the first semester is how the "100% natural" is misleading, a marketing gimmick and even a lie, and it makes people believe that "chemical" or "synthetic" is bad and "natural" is good, when it is the same molecule in the end :(

I'm a seamstress and I get angsty like this about new forms of viscose. "Bamboo" socks are viscose! Viscose is viscose it's not some new eco friendly thing!

[@ellieisanerd]

There's a company called Éclair Lips that does great social videos, plenty with scrapey-scrapey style videos with their trays of lip balms.

[@lisaroper421]

Yes! They are so fun!

[@justkibby5959]

Love their content

[@pumpkintree6438]

Yes I’ve missed you!!!

[@lestupidunicorn]

i would wear that transparent pink lab coat on the street as a jacket

[@tmaltez]

Love today's video. I think I I will go finish a project I put on hold. Have a good one!

[@annwitten4359]

Yes!! I need to get a quilt finished- thanks for the buzzy happy vibes!! ❤

[@sense2001]

ooooh!! I love this! I love to see more of random crafting videos

[@MissTsoisauce]

based on your ideal lip balm description, i will absolutely be buying some if you ever sell them

[@eileenod]

Random rave! I tried the Maksey cold process soap kit from Hobby Lobby and it did not disappoint! 100% will do again!

[@XxSabellaxX]

I’ll be at TRF tomorrow! It’s my first time going. I hope to see you there! 💜

[@mommallama53]

Have a fantastic time at the Ren Fair!

[@mommallama53]

Also, I remember when you got the cream chair! Crazy how time flies! Your videos always make me happy and smiley. 😊

[@lucy7b]

Hello from Charleston, I’m visiting from the UK ❤❤❤

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

Loved the hairstyle- dry chic and modern!! Love the look of your lip gloss, it turned out ok!

[@Thestickponylady]

You should totally come out to Yule Viking Fest any of the first 3 weekends in December. It is Gladewater, Tx. It is family friendly there is a kids area where kids can craft an ornament and have cookies and Juice, stick pony races, a bubble show. Celtica Nova are playing as well as the Harp Twins with the Wolfgang twins. And it is just down i20 from you.

[@yasao_art]

Random project days are so much fun! >U< And I really enjoyed watching this.

[@thebritandthekiwi]

Random video's are always appropriate🫶💖

[@LexNymeria]

Can we do more lip balm and crafting content? I love this❤

[@rachel_was_here]

Mango butter is my favorite ingredient for lip balms if it's available to you.

[@laurelcausey]

Came here to say exactly this. I rarely use shea butter anymore. Love me some mango butter!

[@PaigeMustang]

I enjoyed the video Katie!

[@KaemonMiyamoto]

Would you consider doing a video about all the tech and office things you prefer? Ex: lighting, microphone, label printing company, sealing machine, etc. Thank you

[@ElizabethBarber-tu9ey]

If the color on your lips came from the balm, then it is lovely.

[@ДарьяОсипова-ч1р]

Totally agree!

[@thetexasharpist17]

Wishing i could go to Ren Fest this weekend to meet you! Hope you have an amazing time!

[@nariu7times328]

I would like one of those black soap bars! :)

[@nemomenth]

Love the video. I used to have the exact same chair :)

[@DonnaWhittingham]

I'm so glad to see you here - it's been that kind of week. I would watch you make your bed if your cheery humor was all a part of it. Have a great week!

[@Lizz287]

Queen mamamaaaaaaaaa

[@lisaroper421]

Comment for the algorithm! 🥳

[@brandibastian4193]

So since it's called African black soap does it discolor to Black by the time it's fully cured

[@wildforestferret865]

Dammit I was at Texas Ren Fest last weekend, I nearly did this weekend instead

[@gingerredshoes]

Rennie shout out!

[@99megrob]

That lip balm color isn't terrible, it's a very neutral looking color

[@rachaelt3294]

I herniated a lumbar disc in my lower back and hav found everything, and I mean everything, painful. It hurts to stand, sit, sleep, and walk. Making soap has been so hard and the computer is the worst. I am so buying that chair and maybe even a desk for xmas!!!! Thanks Katie!! 🎉❤

[@FrancesLopez-ev3rl]

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I had excrutiating pain for 19 months, and just a week and a half ago, after my 4th procedure, I am finally pain-free. I wish you the very best. Back pain can be the worst nightmare someone can experience!

[@rachaelt3294]

@FrancesLopez-ev3rl It was debilitating at the beginning and I'm getting use to the pain. I also found out triggers for inflammation in the food I was eating. I have been making most our foods from scratch now and that has helped. My biggest issue is leaning forward and sitting are very painful. I'm stretching all day long to cope with the pain and I cant take any of the medicines that are suppse to help bc I'm allergic. I'm going on a year 3 months now... the job I hurt it in is being ridiculous and not letting me get better treatment. I don't want to do surgery bc I was told it can make it worse. Plus I don't have typical symptoms and I'm worried I may have things in different places inside and they can injure me more by going in with surgery.

[@anne-marieolivier8318]

[@abelink9229]

Is there really a need for a colorant in the lip balm? Can't you leave it with its natural color?

[@lisaroper421]

You can definitely leave it with no color!

[@KokkeOP]

The lights are excessively bright. A humble observation for future consideration. Love your content! cheers form Chile.

[@starleencooley7773]

Have you ever thought about creating a soap formula that is nut free? I love your products but sadly I’ve never bought them because I couldn’t use it as I am allergic to nuts

[@kitkatd1]

Wow 40 seconds ago and 1 view 😮I’m early 😄

[@Rose-jz6sx]

Katie, idk if you'll see this a month later, but what IS African Black soap? Like what makes it different to your usual cold process soap recipe?

[@keilynnlamb5355]

I missed the question of the day

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

Do something just for you.... I saved myself a $500 veterinary ER visit tonight, does that count? All I had to do was wrangle my very feisty rabbit into sitting still long enough for some subcutaneous fluids... Not terrifying at all... Earlier this evening I made a batch of lavender soap that probably will bear a mere hint of lavender cause I didn't have as much essential oil in the bottle as I thought I did... I've been experimenting with the amount I put in, as I do not like strongly scented soaps and if I put the oils in at the recommended rate according to soapcalc, I have to lock them in a room for a week before I can be near them, even when it's scents I know I like. The lavender and cedar wood one I made first could be smelled down the stairs and around the corner for a week, and the peppermint one I made last week was eye-burny from ten feet away for the first four days... My next batch is already planned, garden hand soap... tea tree and rosemary oils for the scent, coffee grounds for scrubbiness, and I think I'll go somewhere around half olive or canola oil for conditioning, half coconut oil for suds and cleansing, and a bit of beeswax from my hives for hardness... that'll be my tenth batch since Nov 1, I'm quite hooked :) Here (Ontario Canada) if I wanted to sell soap or lip balms or hand salves with infused oils or whatever, they're ALL considered cosmetics by law and I'd need to register my recipes with the government, listing oil percentages and fragrance oils if it's over x percent of the total, and there are certain oils I can't use commercially or must use only if there's a warning on the label (like eucalyptus). I like your protective sleeves, I'm considering making myself a lab coat for soapmaking, both to protect me and my clothing and my guests from the soapmaking (the scent from the peppermint batch on my shirt triggered a friend's scent allergy), and to protect the soap from the inevitable rabbit hair that I'm always wearing, even though he lives on a different floor from my soap lab... the hairnet is a good idea too if I do make salves or lip balms. That lip balm stick holder is such a great idea!

[@luvadventuresandart]

Did you say over 12 for 2 oz 😮. What? I paid 3.89 for gingerbread through Midwest fragrance co. 8 oz of juniperberry cost 13.29.

[@keilynnlamb5355]

Who taught you how to make soap?

[@keilynnlamb5355]

Blessed day

[@jamiekernc9925]

She read books, and was a member of Soaping 101 since she was 15 or 16. She may have been in other groups, but I only was in that with her. Soaping 101 has a KZbin channel for soap education and material exploration. The FB page is much slower then it used to be, but you could look for specific Q answers using the search feature.

[@jennstandring5172]

Not that I buy them from you, but for lip balms, I actually like them when they are harder and you have to rub it over your lip 5 times. It lasts longer.
