A couple questions: Have you noticed a difference between making and selling products in the US vs Canada? Would you be up to making a video about that subject? It seems like EVERYONE has made a "culture shock" video about how their lives have changed after moving to a new country, but I'd like to know how your soapmaking has changed. Are some ingredients you use more difficult or easier to get? What suppliers do you miss? You spoke once about how shipping products has changed for you, what else has changed that you've noticed so far? Forgive me, but I'm curious to know 😂. Thanks for the marvelous content! I enjoy watching your videos.
Aw this is a great topic! I’m still working from my existing supplies I purchased in Canada and brought into the states during my move. Once I start ordering supplies and getting my business set up, all will be shared 😊
💜💜 love watching your journey as you tweak your recipes for your new living environment. Thank you for being you, and for teaching all of us how to perfect our recipes for our environment. 💜💜
I have a question. I live in ky where it is super humid during most of the year. Now i am not sure if thats my issue but i noticed when i started making bathbombs with a simple recipe they would come out gorgeous. But when it got hotter more humid they started turning yellow some would have little yellow spots all over it. I even had them dry in the fridge and rap them after but they still turned yellow and dotty. Do you have any suggestions? Would it be the humidity? Thank you for your time.
For bath bomb labels, does the weight have to be the weight before being pressed or after pressed. I weight out 5oz of loose bath bomb pressed but when I pressed the bath bomb and weight it next day it was 4.7oz. What weight should go in the label?
Hi Jerika, it's good to see that you're adjusting well to your recent changes. Welcome to the states and thank you for sharing another informative video. I'm sending you love💕
Thank you for sharing this! I love in a very humid climate in South Africa and used your recipe to make bath bombs, but now I think using too much liquid was part of my mistake. I do have a question regarding compacting your bath bombs in a manual sphere mold using two halves pushed together? I fill mine as much as I can and then push together, and then also tap on a surface a few times, but my spheres are developing dents. However if I don't do that, the bath bombs either crumble or stick to the insides of the mold.
I love all the insights that you share with viewers and checked this video because I want to make bath bombs but the humidity has been high for last couple of weeks and will still be humid for a while yet, so thanks for the info, I'll be trying to make them in a day or two. I've never tried colour combinations that would result in the bath water being brown or grey. Do you think if I used dye for the red and mica for a light green that it will still result in brown water? Or perhaps give up on the idea and just paint the leaves after the bath bomb is dry?
I moved places within my country and monsoons are extremely humid, everything catches fungus, wooden utensils grow fungus before they dry out after washing, even dry canvas shoes. That's how humid it gets here. I figure i'll have to get a huge box and a humidifier to fit inside if I have to make soap during the rainy season. Did your soaps do fine in the humidity?, Have you got any tips?
You are glowing, is there a little Zimmerman on the way? I've been watching for close to 2 yrs and never seen you glow so beautifully as you are now. Looks great on you. Awesome bathbombs but your glowing face takes the show. 💖
Beautiful bath bombs as always Jerika 😊. I live in Texas and tried making my first ever shower fizzies a few months ago, it was a disaster that I walked into 24hrs later 😭 I have been too scared to try again 😅
Great video on moving to PNW and adjusting for weather conditions……..if it smells as gorgeous as the presentation delivery what a luxurious experience……I did like the Star Shape…….
I love making bath bombs and I really enjoy seeing you use a mold other than the press because I never know the correct way to use them so I dont purchase them!

VIDEO IDEA: Lush’s Big shampoo
Drying 48 hours after packing, but after few weeks get it soft, what happened?

Ouu! Did you get bangs? Your hair looks prettyyy
Where can we find the measurements that you used for all of the ingredients?
I did not think I would enjoy watching the bath bomb dissolve. :) I was wrong, it was exciting to see.
There’s something so satisfying about it!!!
The bath bomb is super cute!

Beautiful! Thanks for showing your process. It really helps.

Hi Jerika. Do you find your soap is softer as well? Any ideas to harden them in humid weather?

Hello Jerika. They came out beautiful!!!. Thank you for your channel 😊
I love watching her do soaps and bath bombs I am getting ready to open a business soon too
So absolutely gorgeous. Loving the colors
Can you recommend a few great books for soap making beginners, please
I highly recommend www.soapqueen.com for countless articles on soapmaking as well as a ton of beginner-friendly recipes. This is how I got my start.
Thank you for putting in the caution about testing your dyes. Great advice and we can only imagine the scent being amazing!
You are so welcome!c😊
You are glowing, is there a little Zimmerman on the way? I've been watching for close to 2 yrs and never seen you glow so beautifully as you are now. Looks great on you.
Awesome bathbombs but your glowing face takes the show. 💖
Nope, there is not. Just taking good care of my skin 😊
@@JerikaZimmerman you always take good care of skin and yourself. Glad to see the United States is treating so well.
Beautiful bath bombs as always Jerika 😊. I live in Texas and tried making my first ever shower fizzies a few months ago, it was a disaster that I walked into 24hrs later 😭 I have been too scared to try again 😅
dont use water or witch hazel which is water based use 91% alcohol thats what we use
Yes, disasters can and will happen to the best of us! I remember my first shower steamers were a huge bust! 😢
@@ram1brn wow! That makes absolute sense! Thank you so much 🙏🏽
well done!! they came out so so pretty.
Thank you!! ❤
Great video on moving to PNW and adjusting for weather conditions……..if it smells as gorgeous as the presentation delivery what a luxurious experience……I did like the Star Shape…….
Couldn't agree more! The star was also a great little mold 😊

Yay! I’m glad you enjoyed this one!
The bath bomb looks like a piece of art when dissolving in the bathtub.
It does! So mesmerizing! ❤
So pretty!
Thank you! 😊
