Great thumbnail. We can easily get into the Over Analysis Paralysis head space which stagnates our progress. Just starting is the key and always always take a step back to appreciate what one has created.
I SO needed this today! I'm in the process of launching my soap business and have been knee deep in all the admin and behind the scenes stuff. I have 6 years of soap making under my belt, and sold while living overseas, but am trying to make sure I set myself up well as I get established here. It's SO many decisions and things to work through that it feels daunting. I needed the reminder to step back and celebrate the small things, the small steps, and that it's okay to go step by step. Thanks!
THIS IS AMAZING!!! i have been watching you for over 4 years and have seen all your changes! you are doing the thing! I have been growing my business too but realizing its so hard to get people to my website.
Thanks so the be kind to yourself and it's ok to slow down message. I've been feeling... I guess blah kinda sums it up. And haven't been making like I used to. This too shall pass. Thanks for your encouragement.
Hi Jerika I just wanted to say from an outside perspective that this is new direction of more natural products with less colour and business seems to be so in tune with who you are as a person and even the beautiful natural surroundings of your new home. It just feels so harmonious and in tune. Maybe Quench Bear could become Quench Bare (bare skin natural vibes) Lots of love to you all!
Hi ... I make cp soap from all natural colorants and essential oils. My BIGGEST REQUEST by far is adding a pop of color (mica) and seasonal fragrance oils. 😢 My all-naturals just sit while the rest sell out at every event. So ... I've learned to make what people will actually buy if I intend to stay in business. Do you have the same type of market experience with all-naturals?
Hi Jerika. I'm wondering what you're using for the piping on your bath bomb. My piping always seems to get crumbly after a week or so. Can you please recommend a recipe? Also, are you planning to attend the Conference in Halifax this year? Thank you for all you do to inspire us!
I needed this today.I feel a little overwhelmed thinking about making soap for the first time.I am considering starting with a kit to off Amazon to get my feet wet first.😅
That's what I love, LATHER! I tried a soapmaking kit to get a feel for soapmaking before going all in. I truly loved it, but with melt and pour, it was kinda drying and didn't lather much (IMO) I would love to learn to make and/or formulate and make soap that smells really good, is moisturizing, and creates a nice lather. One day!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but, you can Frost the indent and then put your bath bomb just in a paper cupcake holder and that will prevent it from rolling around
@JerikaZimmerman And ...a fun part to that is all the beautiful cupcake liners you can get, from floral to polka dots and everything in between to coordinate the colors in the bombs!
I think you've outgrown your old branding... your esthetic now is more artistic and has matured. I see the shift in your filming style too. May be time for a brand makeover and to charge more for the artistic aspect. People do pay for artistic work. Maybe start a second brand for now (so you don't sacrifice income) and gradually move towards the more artistic, feminine brand? Just an idea. I'd work with a good brand designer if it's in the budget. They will assist in targeting the customers best suited to the new vibe you have going.
Thank you so much for everything you do, Jerika! 🥹 Sometimes when watching more established businesses / accounts for inspiration, it ends up feeling very intimidating and it all feels so out of reach. But there’s something about your videos that has always served as inspiration and feels so encouraging - so thank you for your authenticity and generosity in sharing ❤️
Wow, Jerika, this is truly speaking to me. I overthink SOOOOO much, but it is extremely paralyzing because I end up doing nothing.
That’s all of us sometimes! Best to walk away, let your mind wander, do something else you enjoy and circle back.
SO amazing at what changing your environment to a calmer place can do for your soul. It opens all kinds of new avenues of creativity and peace.
I totally agree!!
Oh my gosh! This is so true. Thanks for these words, they are really speaking to me.
Great thumbnail. We can easily get into the Over Analysis Paralysis head space which stagnates our progress. Just starting is the key and always always take a step back to appreciate what one has created.
Thank you!! I liked this particular thumbnail too!
Love the greenery in some of the shots….this video was just perfect in relaxing presentation……
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️

True, so far away, but it's actually right there!
Yes! It’s a long road for sure!
I have been following you for years, you have such a good soul, you are such an inspiration.

Thank you for this advice! I truly appreciate it ❤
Thank you for sharing! You’re such an inspiration.
Your green botanics and flower arrangement on your table are stunning!
Thank you so much! I’ve been putting more effort in decorating my home and I’m glad people are noticing because I love it so much ☺️💕

❤ thanks Jerika i really needed some inspiration and a pep talk ❤
I thought about doing that with my indent mold but wasn’t sure. It looks great and is practical. 🎉😊
Do you have a video explaining how and what you use to make these bath bombs and the natural colors?
Appreciate this video!❤️ Absolutely obsessed with your wooden shelf in the background in the beginning!! Can you share where you got it at?
Thank you for this video. ❤
Oh wow, that liquid handsoap looks divine! Did you create the recipe for it?
Wonderful video!
Where do you find your recipes? What would you recommend for a beginner to start looking for new things to try?
Thank you for amazing consistent content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Very enlightening Jerika,,,thank you!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching ❤

You can do it! Every little bit helps ☺️

You’ll get there! Baby steps is just fine ❤
Hi, did you put preservative for your cleansing balm
On the alkanet root, did you infuse it in oil? That’s the only way I’ve used it and I got a nice purple (in soap, not icing).
Are you going to a Conference in Connecticut in May, if so, see you there, until then enjoy and keep going, cheers!
No, that’s not in the cards for me this year. I will likely go next year! ❤
Hi Jerica, how to did you learn how to formulate?
On TH-cam and from blogs like Humblebee and Me and Soap Queen 😊
@@JerikaZimmerman
Thank you so much
Jerika, I love absolutely everything you make but the liquid hand some brought back nightmares from a grape medicine I received as a child 😂
😂😂😂😂 yes!!! It’s definitely giving grape medicine 💜🍇
