Come and join me as I create products that I offer for sale. Please note I am not a "How-to" channel but simply wish to share with fellow creators and my customers, how I make the items I have for sale.
This video pops out while I was checking if you've any sharing with your new home/shop adventure, WOW, look how far u come so far!! 3 yrs ago you're still packing & unloading for the market, now you're busy in packing & unloading for your new sweet home & potential new shop! I feel so proud of you while at the same time can feel how much work/pressure y're bearing at the same time. Well, life must go on, keep going Keeley, you've many fans be with you!
Have you ever found Transparent thermal printer labels that are ACTUALLY clear and transparent??? I've ordered this kind TWICE now from amazon but both times they were NOT transparent as their descriptions said. Kind of reminded me of that 'Old' gift wrapping tape years ago that you could easily see taped all over your gift! 😂🙄 I want some transparent 'invisible' labels for glass jars but I'm not having any luck finding these!
You will have to measure your own tube as mine will be different to yours. From your other comment, you won't like the maths behind getting the exact measurement or circumference of the tube. Just make sure the paper is as wide as the length of your tube and tear a piece off. Roll up and insert into tube.
Can I use a 1 1/2 inches pvc pipe, how long is your pipe used for your molds howmany bars you got from a batch. Have you tried it without a lining. Or does knocking it gets the soap out
You can use any size pipe you like. My pipe is as long as my mould but you can make them any length. You will need to line or the soap will stick to the pipe.
@AnneMcCracken-jg1vk they're the 100ml short. To work out what label size you want that suits your look, measure how high you want the label. Then take a piece of copy paper and cut a strip to that high. Wrap around the tube and workout how much you want it to wrap around.
I use this exact tube but in black for a gel cleanser. Can you tell me the label size you are using that fits perfectly ? What height and width the label is ? Thankyou !!
The is no size that fits perfectly because of the shape of them. I still end up with creases if I'm not careful. You just have to measure the tubes and decide which size best works for you
Wow that looks like the way you want me know if I were you and I was going 😔 and then if I am a good thing to get some research magazine and it ❤ for you ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ and I have the same thing as a friend from the karmic to the lessons I think 🤔 was in the name and the third name is to do the same thing as the one 🕐 is a very good friend of mine and I was going on the phone with the kids and I was going to be in the office today and I was thinking of going out with you and you can do it for me toi
Another great vlog. I really enjoy them and the considerations and behind the scenes activity of a small business. I know the right shop venue will come along. The selfish part of me hopes you'll have the capacity to be able to film the process of getting it ready to open, but in reality, I'd rather you take care of yourself and not overwhelm yourself with filming on top of everything else that you'll be doing. Take care.
Turned out beautiful. I have more luck with indigo if I use it in hot water instead of in an oil infusion and added to the batter like that. Good luck with the move and the last couple of weeks in the shop 🤩
As I'm selling new candles, it wouldn't be right for me to reuse jars. Plus people bring jars that aren't mine. I have thought of offering second hand jars but it affects insurance
I am so glad that the bailiff was so nice to you, helped you and explained about your anxiety in crowds. I live in Portland, Oregon and we have a Saturday Market in downtown not far from me and i have only been to it once and I know I can never go back as a patron...there were to many people pushing and there were to many dogs...I am scared of most dogs. I step back when people step forward as well. However, I work with a haunted house and when I am acting I can handle the people, I think partially because we intentionally keep space between us and the patrons, but if I am in the same environment without the makeup and costume and character I get so anxious that I will have a panic attack that requires meds. If I am with a bunch of people that I can trust to protect me in a group then I am better and can somewhat function in a crowd.
I'm pleased I encountered an understanding Bailiff. It's been said most comedians have difficulty dealing with people, but the comedy gives them a mask to hide behind. Whenever we can pretend to be something different, we can cope better. 🧡
Wow Keeley, u proved yourself to be one of the most honest persons in the world I knew so far again, and your bravety to open up and share your up & down with us, It seems that I can almost feel your helplessness and pain for the ordeal you've been thru for the jury duties stuff, my eyes also went red as I was also there with you. (no worries, I will keep a good & nice personal distance as I also need🥰:)) , BTW this is called personal space proximity when I learnt this term in the university studying psychology and this is absolutely important and normal to make people feeling comfortable in the public with a certain space (no matter the one surround is strangers or friends or even family). This vlog is emotional but meaningful and fruitful at the same time, good people always have good endings, esp. after your house has buyer then your life and your business have just brightened up like a spark! May your new house and new shop all run smooth (finger-crossed) and I will be awaiting for your further update patiently. Work hard, play hard, rest harder! p.s. my hubby once put the biteEze balm on lip but he was 200% fine & even told me it was great as gave him a cooling sensation, hahahaha~well, I didn't tell him it was actually for repelling beetles but I sneak back the cool mint lipbalm to him secretly, thrilled to see the new orange tube packing😍😍😍
Thank you 🧡 I always find it odd that I have different space needs for different people and on different days. Some days, it doesn't bother me, and others I have to have that space. Hopefully, hubby preferred the Cool Mint lip balm 😆
Wow thank you for sharing your experience with having anxiety. I’ve totally been there and can relate. Wish you all the best with looking for a new shop and with moving into your new home! ❤
Thank you 🧡 I discovered this sometime after getting the machine. It's a shame they don't advise this in their booklet. I have shown how I now load the printer in other videos
I can relate. Kudos to the clerk who recognized you and provided unbiased comfort to help you claim the nerves. It’s hard when you’re not aware of process in such a busy situation
Wow you have so much going on Keeley my goodness. Congratulations on the sale of your house what a relief for you both. Good luck with the offer on the new shop. Take care of yourself. 😊
Wow, even with no soap making, you have been very busy. It is so good that you are having lots of customers, but keeping my fingers crossed that it will not be long before you have another fantastic amount of foot traffic in the new shop. You look very happy in this video - even after the stressful event of jury duty. Great news on the sale of your house. Keep up your energy as you will need lots of it in the next couple of weeks. Don't forget to take care of yourself. Look forward to the next video. xxx 😊😊💖💖
Thank you 🧡 this final week is looking to be super busy. I have now started packing all the ingredients away. I'm really looking forward to the next part of this journey
I suffer from anxiety as well and it is not nice,I don't like people getting too close as well. I got quite sad watching you take all things down from your shop.but you will be going into a new adventure and a new home and such a beautiful house as well.cant wait until your next adventure .Take care 😊xx
It's difficult when your personal space is small 😔 it is sad to see the shop emptying but I can't wait to start setting up a new one and learning from this one 🧡
The city is definitely the hardest place to navigate. Hubby always knows if I grab his shirt. Sometimes, just holding the corner of a shirt is enough. 🧡
Thank you 🧡 we're so happy about the house. I hope you had a great trip to Borneo. My parents trip sounds amazing. They saw the Orang-utans and pigmy elephants
I've had a number of people say this in different videos. Once we're settled into our new home, I will be finding someone to talk to at least about the anxiety 🧡
@@SoyandSheaam glad u are I wish u luck for me it was finally finding out where it come from which made me feel in control of it and better understand. I have a complex past due to abuse so I always put it down to that but really it was the other way round once I understood that things just went click click. Also on a side note dairy intolerance is a common part of autism. I to have that. I wish it was cheaper to post to the uk I lov your soaps
