Natural Colorants for Cold Process Soap ~ Maine Inspired Soap ~ 100% Natural Homemade Soap 

Mary, I just love your purity. You love nature, and you did an unbelievably great job of capturing what your eyes saw on your hike. I have to say that some of that beautiful wildlife almost brought me to tears! I can't imagine how you felt seeing all of that beauty in person! Thank you for sharing with us! And I did love the peace of watching the soap making!

Mary its so good you and your family spent quality time together with joy. You are making soap. Natural soap I love.

You teach people how to live…each day is a gift. Thank you

The scenery of the trail was just so beautiful!! You have a natural ability to look at nature and become creative. Wonderful trait!!

Mary, I didn't think your videos could get any better. I just love this video so much. I am from the White Mountains of NH. I have lived here for 36 years and am still in amazement of the beauty and wildlife. I found you a couple of months ago and you have inspired me more than I can describe. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos which are not only educational but so calming.

Dear Mary, As always your video was so inspiring. But...this one was EXCEPTIONAL. The background music was wonderful. The photos of Maine and the soaps that reflected your experience, so soothing. Hugs 💞

Love watching you make things. Enjoy watching you create. God has shared His desire to create with us

Mary, you are such an artist inspired by nature. Fantastic! 👏🙂🪴🍀

Mary, nature inspires! Nature is beautiful! It’s relaxing! Nature is art!! I love art & nature inspires me to paint. I want to paint everything I see, so I get you. Those soaps look amazing & beautiful!!

C Lingle I think God has given you that inspiration about the colors of soap being in our natural surroundings. No wonder you are "inspired" by his creation!

Whenever I watch you, it reminds me of my one sister in law. Always pushing for a great endproduct.🤗🇿🇦

I don't think it's crazy at all that nature inspires your soaps. That shows how creative you are.

Loved the hike footage! Your soaps could be part of a “ Nature series”. They are amazing!

Well done! Mary, your attention to detail is unmatched! The Lord has given you great talent.

Mary, you captured the colors of the reindeer moss and stone and other nature perfectly! Wish I could smell them! I also love Maine....so beautiful there.

I am so happy I found your channel. After watching a couple videos I was hooked. I've been binge watching your channel for a week. So much inspiration. I've got a notebook and writing projects I need to do. I have learned so much from you and I'm 73! 😅 Looking forward to lots more. Have a blessed week.

This video was so beautifully put together!! It was so peaceful and very interesting to see how you bring all the elements together to get your vision in a bar of soap!!! It absolutely makes sense!! Thank you!!

Your photography was beautiful! You are so talented in so many areas! Thanks for sharing.

Wow Mary! This is the most beautiful video. Your editing and the music is spot on and the whole effect is inspiring me to make soaps. I just moved to Maine and right now it’s really cold, but it is beautiful in every season. I’m not surprised you were inspired by the colors of Maine. Thank you for inspiring a faithful viewer!

The soaps look awesome!

Soap colors are beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I also love black licorice!

Love the soap colorand trip idea. I understand your thought process and think it’s beautiful. I actually loved the part of the video where you made the soap, had captions and No talking at all. It was visually beautiful, serene and relaxing. Great choice of music. Thank you.

I love this nature video. You captured beautiful wild life. I also noticed you have beautiful long hair , never saw you with hair down. You guys are in great. Shape to do that hike. Mary you have so much talent in making stuff and also decorations, cooking, ect.. keep on doing what you do best.

Love this, well done Mary. Inspiring as always. ❤

Sheila McDade in Chattanooga here . . . Thanks for sharing your hiking trip! Your long braid was so pretty. You and your husband must really be in good shape to hike on such a rocky mountain. Do you still walk every afternoon down your lane at home? It takes discipline to get out there daily in the winter!

I love watching all your videos, Mary. But, now I know the #1 reason I like you so much---LOVE black licorice! hahaha

Drawing inspiration from nature is creativity and artistry. Nothing crazy about it. I do the same for my art. The natural soap as well as your videography is stunning.

I really enjoyed this video, especially the soapmaking. Your tutorials are always something I feel is worth my time watching.

Love it! Very organic and natural!

Mary you are so creative and creative I love black licorice too 💕💕👋🇨🇦🙏😇

Making soap is such a relaxing process. I haven't made any in years but really did enjoy it. And, double salted Dutch black licorice is delicious.

I live in Maine. Happy to know you were here! Thanks for sharing!

The soaps are all so beautiful. I love that you are so inspired by nature and I appreciate that you share your thought processes with us, as well as your wonderful vacation!

Beautiful colours for the soap, love it

Wau úžasné mydlá 👏 krásne video 😍 ste skvelá, ďakujem za video 😘🤗

But this is exactly how creative people think...😊

This was a wonderful and relaxing video.🥰 Makes me want to dabble in soap making…AND hiking!

Turn out just beautiful and if those were laid out in a beautiful basket....oh my..how pretty would that be. All the colors of nature just in one spot. Loved it Mary. Your goal was accomplished!

This was so much fun watching. Very nice!

Love the music and the relaxing vibe of this video.

Great video Mary! Being in nature is so good for the soul! Love how it inspired your soaps, the colors and scents are wonderful.

That soap is gorgeous! And great photos!

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us.

My husband thinks you should sell a box of all your soaps together in one box and call it The White Cottage Collection. Just beautiful!

What a wonderful video. Loved the nature scenes. Love your channel and I look forward to each one of your wonderful ideas and projects. Thank you for sharing. Soaps look amazing and I'm sure they smell just as nice.

I love star anise! It has such a calming effect for me!

Love your idea with the soap.

These are a beautiful set of soap!

Beautiful video Mary! Thank you for sharing your inspirations with us! I enjoyed this very much!

I love these soap videos! I love your idea to take things that inspired you and turn them into products for others to enjoy also.

Good morning Mary. Can’t wait to see what you are up to this morning. Love watching you create.

Your soaps are wonderful!

The soaps look wonderful & I will have to order some! I love the colors!!!

Your video is really impressive. The harmony of nature and handmade soap you show is really beautiful. The colors that nature gives are natural and have a subtle charm. Just like you! (The final packaging is also really beautiful!!!)

My husband and I have Maine on our travel wish list!

The soap looks so amazing!!!

Loved this inspirational video.

I love this video. The hike in Maine looks like so much fun. I'm just about 1.5 hrs from the Maine/Canadian border and have visited there often, is a beautiful state. I love how you get inspired by nature.

I love love love Black Licorice

Love the soaps!!!

Mary, my sister & I just love watching your videos. We watch them all & learn so much. Loved today's soap video. I rushed to your etsy shop & was able to order some of your soap, before it quickly sold out.Can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing with us all.

I'm glad nature inspired you. I would love to try some of those soaps. The smell you are talking about interest me. I, however, love the smells of clean linen, and ocean. I'm glad when you do let us know about the new soaps you create and that you are going to be selling. Keep it up! Plus, I enjoy listening to your voice it's very calming.

Very nice idea and so basic. Great!

Love the colors

I love the beautiful colors they turned out to be !! Watching you make soap looked so fun ! I make goat milk soap you inspired me Mary !! And it’s so great for your skin! I’m not a chemical person I’m like you Norwex and all 😊

I climbed Mt Katahdin years ago.Absolutely breathtaking, and strenuous but well worth it. I love seeing you with you hair down. Didn't realize it was so long. Very pretty.

Mary, Fathers' Nature (this earth, the heavens) these were made for us to enjoy! We are to be inspired, in awe of Him, and have The Joy of His through our Discovery! Then we radiant love back to Him through Praise, Worship, and Thankfulness! So be inspired! Thank you, Mary! Never change! AnnFromAlabama.

Looooove this so much 💝

Inspired soap line, Mary! Thank you for showing us your process.

Thanks for the video very informative

How fun!!! Makes me want to make some soap from our vacations now ♥️

Thank you for sharing your creative soap making Mary your amazing as always I love the outdoors too ❤Karen from Oz💌🇦🇺🦘🐨

Mary, this was such a relaxing video. The mountains, animals, all the colors of soap making with soft music ...ahhh.

Such a neat idea!

I found this video to be very interesting and thoroughly enjoyed it. For the record, I think the Star Anise soap is a great idea.

I like the fact that you are inspired by nature. God has created such beauty.

Mica powder IS from nature... so you've been all-natural all along. I really enjoyed hearing you describe the process of being inspired by your hiking adventure. Thanks for sharing that. It doesn't sound weird. It's good!

Thanks for sharing all your creativeness with us. Your soaps look as luscious as they must smell. Nature is the best inspiration for great inventiveness.

Love watching your videos. Your beautiful soul ❤️

Love this!!

Loved this video.

Mary you are amazing!You continue each time to impress and bless us. Your talents are unlimited. God has truly blessed you. Allow no one to stop you when you have dreams!!

Great idea, like it all. God Bless.

Artist are often inspired by nature. Yes you are an artist. 🎨👩‍🎨

Love the packaging and the inspiration for your soaps!

I think Ellen Love Egglstone said my sentiments exactly. Each piece of soap had such perfect coloring to nature n I bet they do smell heavenly. Hard to decide which to buy. I do use handmade soap in my kitchen but I’ve never used it in my shower or if you prefer a bath. My skin is terribly dry n I have a hard time trying to find a good soap for dry skin. I’ve been using liquid Dove n it helps some. If you have any suggestions I’d appreciate it much. Your trip to Main was enticing. I too love nature n love being in the mist of the woods. There’s such a inner peace to my soul. It brings me closer to God. Doing that hike had to be so full filling. I’m sure you took many photos. From your video you captured so many awesome pictures of nature. I truly enjoy this video n yes, I really enjoyed watching you making all the different kinds of soap. It did look like fun. I can see why you love doing it. Thanks Mary for sharing this with all of us. I sure hope no one out there can be negative about this video. ♥️😊👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love the gentle music and relaxing soap-making portion of this!

Very relaxing video! Soap is beautiful… what better inspiration for color than Gods creation!

Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I've been enjoying your videos now for awhile. I find them relaxing, informative, and full of creativity that inspires. I finally got over to your store today. I would like to order your nature soaps if you are planning to restock them. They look wonderful. I always look forward to your next video, thanks Mary.
