I love the feeling of authenticity I get from watching your videos. Thank you for documenting your journey as a business owner and soap maker. You're a true inspiration as to what I know is possible for me to achieve when I start my own business in the future ❤
you literally explained what hyperfocus is in adhd...lol thats how i got in to doing hair without a license. i just binge watched and can learn one hairstyle in 8hrs of practice... its literally how i figured out how im going to create my 7 businesses out of everything i love to do creatively.
I started making CP a little less than two years ago. I became inspired like you from seeing bramble berry and few others making it. I started with melt and pour and saw those neat intricate designs and wanted to try it. I was terrified messing with the lye and now it’s second nature to me and we have a small family run business. We’re doing our state fair for the first time and it’s an 11 day event.
If u freeze ur water into ice cubes when u add lye to the ice it does not release ANY fumes at all. Not even a little. Try it, u will never have to worry about accidentally breathing that in and I don’t have to worry about airing the room either. I can’t inhale any fumes at all. Doing that is a game changer.
I love hearing everyone's stories on how they ended up as a soap maker! For me it started almost 7 yrs ago when I was trying to find a sunscreen that I was allergic too and it lead me to someone making their own and then that lead me to soap queen and soaping 101 and royalty soaps and like you I diced into the whole process and watched every video I could 😅 and now half my living has been designated as my soaping area loll
Would love to see a video as if you was just starting out…like the minimum supply’s you would buy with links, and your process on that for those of us not wanting to go into business but want to cheaply do this for a hobby
You have taught me so much. Something happened to me after watching your videos. Thank you for showcasing your talents. You have been my inspiration since I started 3 years ago.
The soaps are very beautiful!!! Also I like the way you add extra oils without hesitating/calculating after you poured the pigments to the mix. Your channel is absolutely is awesome!
OOOH GIRL! i love the video you have become this same inspiration for others! I have always enjoyed your videos! This is another great one! Wishing you and your husband so many more blessings! Love seeing how far you have come!💕💕
Oh my. This is how I started as well. I’ve gotten lye on my hands, and learned just like doing hair perm and relaxers it’s a must to wear protection. Love ❤you Sister
I have a business and I make infused oils but now I’m onto soap 🤷🏼♀️ 😆 when I want to try to do something new, I dive in head first 100%. I resonate with your story a lot lol
Blessings Jerika, I love watching your videos. You have been a great inspiration throughout my soaping journey. Thank you for your immense generosity in all you share. Have a wonderful day 😊 🙏🏽💕
Such a beautiful soap! Was wondering if you can share the dimensions of your work table? I’m in the shopping process. Looks like you have plenty of tabletop room to use.
Great video and beautiful soap! However that fragrance did disservice to those beautiful micas. I would expect more from Brambleberry as they are knowns mostly for their testing for soap 😮
I had not been watching soap making videos for 2 yrs now & I get to watch you again. I’m just wondering, I thought you used to live in Canada but it seems like you live in the US?
Gorgeous!!! I was talking to a soap maker yesterday and she was saying it would take me 6 months to learn how to make soap and then sell it. Do you think it will take that long? I make bath salts, lip balms, room sprays, candles etc already so have some making experience, but not soap yet. Thoughts?
Omg! Soap Queen TV was my first introduction to bath bombs! I was looking to start making and selling bath bombs when I came across SQTV - now Bramble Berry. My bath bomb recipe was from her recipe and it was a great success. I did stop making them as well as butters and scrubs, but all my ingredients came from her and new aromatics(Canada?). Thanks for sharing and the inspiration - who knows, I may get back into it!
I found this to be very informative and easy to follow. With this recipe, using the lye, once the bars are set and cut, can they be used right away or do they need to sit for a bit (and how long) for the it to be safe enough for the lye chemical not to bother/burn the skin?
💎💎💎 I think you've been very creative in making products. If I saw these soaps online or at a local store, I would likely buy a couple of them for everyday showering and handwashing. Thanks for sharing your journey and tips for running such a business. 🙏🙏🙏
LOL the meat soap....I just made my first (accidental) meat looking soap. I made the rhubarb root soap and decided to add a swirl so I used TD to lighten some of the batter. It looks like salami 🤣
Have you ever did melt and pour or even sale a base of melt and pour soaps ? ….. I have did a few melt and pour because I don’t have the room to be safe with ventilation to do cold process in my apartment yet .
Yep, I’ve tried melt and pour soap! It’s a lot of fun. Yeah, it’s best to be cautious when working with lye… if it helps, I was able to make a lot of soaps in my apartment when I first started ❤
I usually go to the reviews of the fragrance oil to see from other soap makers if a fragrance oil “sticks” in soap for a long time. You can check out the Fragrance oils from bramble berry’s website - most have a lot of reviews. Bramble berry also has a handy calculator that will tell you how much fragrance oil to add to get a light, medium or strong-smelling product.
