My husband and I have also been married seven years, and my best marriage advice is this mantra: "I, too, am annoying, and if he weren't here, I'd still have to do this annoying chore, PLUS I'd have no one to cuddle with after." Works every time!
I like this. I’ve been married for 2. Mine is …always say thank you. Thank each other for every little thing you do. Yeah you’ll get on each others nerves once in a while…that’s just fact of being two humans cohabitating. But don’t ever lose sight of what each of you contribute! I think we say thank you more than any couple I’ve hung around…that’s our secret. Say thank you, at the end of the day, list out everything the other person does for you and for your relationship and family… and mean it!!
Or maybe a side view of a pore. ㅎㅎㅎ 😂 What about a science soap? Just take away the grass and add a hair instead. 😂 Very anatomical and educational for science teachers.
The best piece of marriage advice I’ve ever been given was from my mom and is super universal: Always be nice to each other. Even if you’re in a moment where you don’t like each other very much, be kind. Some couples are really rude to each other (even when they’re not mad at each other) but there’s nothing to be gained from meanness and nastiness at any time.
Exactly!! I personally couldn’t even imagine saying something mean or rude to my partner - they don’t deserve that no matter what they’ve done (I guess unless it’s something truly atrocious or vile… but even then, retain your dignity and leave before getting nasty)
We do say rude things for eachother, but those arent usually serious. We say these things in a joking tones and if we ever go overboard. We both emediatly apologize to eachother and try our best to remenber what isnt fine to say. Basically, if you wanna be mean, dont do it to actually hurt your partner. If your just joking around please be sure your partner know its a joke and well.. yeah communication is key your highness !
Yeah, this! Because every time I've seen couples begin to feel and show contempt for each other, I know the relationship is either doomed or close to it.
true! I call it pettiness or revenge instead of mean or nasty. giving your partner the cold shoulder is a huuuuge no no and leads to dysfunction, nothing more
Best relationship advice I got from my pampered chef bridal shower consultant 🤣 Never talk bad about your spouse to your family or friends. They will remember the bad things long after you have forgiven and/or forgotten.
Celebrating 39 yrs marriage this Friday and I really appreciate you pointing out the complementarity of partners. Amen to that! You're not in competition with each other.
@@lady_sonderAlways treating each other with respect. A habit of forgiveness. And recognising your partner is not your enemy. We all have wounds from the past and the pain we experience is embedded in those wounds. Find healing for your own wounds to be free to love unconditionally.
My husband and I have a saying. If it won't matter in 5 years, it shouldn't matter in 5 minutes. It's worked for us for over 22 years. Those soaps are cute
As a chicken/duck/goose breeder I can't wait to see the chicken inspired soap! Tell your mother to be careful, chicken math is real! I've got around 200~ birds and I'm hatching chicks.
I've been married 10 years, and honestly the advice to have something fun to do together after conflict is something I've never heard before but may be the best advice ever! Thanks, Katie
Katie! My husband's advice to my winter blues/anxiety problems was to get a hobby and so we finally pulled the trigger on my soap making desires! I ordered the items from the royal upgrade list from your soap academy videos and will be following along to make soap soon and am so excited. 😊
@amara560 i made two solid batches of really pretty soap! I made the orage batch like she did in the tutorial then I strayed and bought one of the micas she used for her glitterati soap she made in another video and made a solid soap with that! And both came out amazing 🥰 then i got too busy to make soap for a minute because of my kids sports but i will after the holidays
This was the sweetest advice! I'm a little stressed out because I'm moving in a few weeks into an apartment with more roommates than I've ever had before and I feel like a lot of this advice is also applicable to that!
I'm having an issue with my sister because of a certain situation and her advice about it's usually the situation and not the other person that's the issue really hit home for me. I'm definitely going to try hard to keep that in mind.
Good luck!! My personal advice (as someone who hates living with people but has to thanks to the current state of the economy) is to meditate for stress and communicate, communicate, communicate. Resentment is silent yet deadly and builds quickly if you don’t say anything about what bothers you. The meditation will help with this as well, for self reflection. And then anytime you can, get out of the house! Go into nature and decompress alone, maybe with a beloved pet. But go outside and breath and you will feel better, trust me
1) Beautiful soap! 2) If I was asked to give marriage advice I would give this: A) Loving someone is a choice you make. Falling in/out of love isn't love, just lust. If you are going to marry someone, you make the choice to love them. B) Marriage is never 50/50, as many people say. It is, rather, 100/100 from each of you. You each give your all to the relationship because you love each other. The 19th of this month will be our 29th anniversary, and we are still happy together.
Love these longer videos!!! Thank you so much! Similar to what you say at the end I will say to you ‘I don’t care what you do, just as long as it’s a video from you’ is what makes my world go round. Thank you for this gold content.
Your observations about the necessity of not making the other person an enemy during conflict is very much true in our marriage as well. The best marriage advice we were given 17 years ago was "whenever you face a problem/conflict, don't let it stand between you so that you are fighting against each other - instead, stand side by side and link arms as you face it together." Hugely helpful (and admittedly sometimes hard to stick to) but very wise advice. We're still very much in love and enjoy living life together ❤️
Up in Iowa, we all swear by Happy Lights. They’re little square lights you can plug in anywhere that mimic sunlight. I gotta say, between that, daily walks, and getting vitamins in, it does help with surviving winter! ❤
Katie your choice of colors for this soap are spot on. I just love pastel colors and the yellow, pink, and white are so beautiful together. This soap reminds me of Spring!!!
When you called your Mom The Chicken Lady...She probably never watched Kids in the Hall, but I just about died. I hear that & immediately go to KITH. Lol. Love the soap, it's so pretty & that is a fragrance that I've been wanting :) Yes, I prefer flowers that smell good. But I appreciate all flowers :) Have a great day!
My husband and I had a rocky beginning as well, but with a lot of work and patience it has bloomed. We are inseparable and have become each others best friend and never want to be apart or do something with anyone else.
I love watching you make florals! For me… I love edible flowers! Flower flavored baked goods make me feel like a fairy 🤣 So yes, I guess the smell does make the flower lovelier! ❤
Seeing your design: if you pour the soap thicker, then use a spoon to carve out the center (like in your drawing) and then pour the next layer in that, repeat
The design really lends itself to being a sculpted soap. I can see why she wouldn't want to mass produce a sculpted soap though. Too much labor, and "waste"
Miss Katie are you going to have a little one ?😍 My husband and I this year will be married for 40 years. wow geez. I think couples need to respect each other and just listen to each other, lots of hugs and kisses doesn't hurt either lol
My husband and I have been together for over 38 years and we love spending time together, but we also enjoy the time we have doing our own things from time to time. Our kids came after 15 years together and are now not in the home. We love being able to go out and do new things now together. Remember working towards a great end will always make you a better couple.
Dahlia was (and still ist) one of my most-loved flowers, but due to its awesome smell and cute blossoms I come to love hyacinths the most! Thank you for the chilling video
I am the second oldest of 12 kids, and my hubby is the youngest of two. To say meeting my family was overwhelming is an understatement! 😂 We worked together while we were dating (that's where we met) and for the first several years of our marriage. I miss it. We loved working together! I'm a SAHM homeschooling mom of our 3 kids now. We've been married for 12 years and we still have crushes on each other. ❤
Mine and my husband’s love language is quality time and physical touch, so spending in-person time with each other is an ideal situation for us 😂 I will never get how people like to do extended or regular trips away from their spouse because my brain is so much a fan of spending all my time with him lol
my relationship advice is: "figure out what you need and what you can give. same for your spouse. talk openly about it, find what works. it doesnt have to fit expectations, throw it out the window, throw out "winning". look for what works and update that regularly." relationships are essentially venn diagrams, you are hestablish where your circles are and you find the overlap
I like the color and shape of flowers more than anything. I love big blooms and I love star shaped things, and seeing gorgeous color combos makes me want to have a giant garden.
SAD or seasonal affect disorder is a very real thing. When the winter starts to hit my daughter has to spend time tanning a few times a week. She really needs to get a uv light instead, but it does help her greatly.
We also got married May 21, 2016 and we’re from Wills Point, TX (just up the road basically). I love watching your videos! The best piece of marriage advice we ever received was to never go to bed angry or without discussing an issue. That has worked for us.
I used to have over 50 chickens! I'm down to 9 now but I'll get more soon. I'm so so so looking forward to the chicken soap! Tomorrow is my 10 year wedding anniversary 😁 my favorite flower doesn't smell so I think it's the color and shape of the flowers for me
Cannot wait for this soap design to arrive! My husband and I have been married for over twenty five years and you gave the best advice ever possibly because we also follow this advice. My husband and I come also from very different backgrounds and both fairly stubborn so being respectful and listening in an argument is key to our solving them. Take care!
I love your soaps and watching you make them telling us stories. Makes it fun and interesting. I always tell people that communication is key. If you can't talk about anything with your significant other, then maybe you shouldn't be in a relationship. We've been married almost 30 years now. And most people don't believe me, but we hardly argue. We have disagreements, but we never fight. LOL I guess we got it out of our systems when we were dating. As for flowers I like roses. But my fav flower of all is Lilly of the Valley. It's near impossible to find anything scented with it. We used to have some growing by our front door growing up. It's also the flower of May my birth month.
My new attitude that is making my marriage better is, being aware of our own strengths and weaknesses. As in, i cook almost every night, and when I'm feeling frustrated by that responsibility- I remember that I do almost no laundry, because that's his strength.
I have been with my boyfriend for almost five years. My boyfriend has been the best guy I've ever been with and you are so correct on how relationships are different for each person, because there really isn't a fix all for everyone because we're all different and individualized.
My brother-in-law married my husband and me. When he married us he said something along the lines of "I only have one piece of marriage advice, don't listen to all the advice" because yes, everyone is unique and every situation is unique! So excited to see the rest of the collection.
I've worked with my spouse since before we even got together. We met in October 2016 at Kmart and started dating at the start of 2017: we worked together through 3 jobs until I finally started working at a different job in 2021. We have lived together since 2018. People asked us all the time how we managed to be around one another 24/7 without wanting to strangle one another and honestly, for us, the answer was to have separate hobbies at home and different roles in our workplaces so that although we ate lunch together, we weren't actually working together most of the time. We dedicate time to our own separate pastimes, but make time to do specific things together so that we can still have those bonding moments. If we are feeling grumpy we usually just seek out space to be alone until we feel calm enough to talk to the other person about whatever we are feeling.
I have been 30 years my husband every month wish each other happy Anniversary. We communicate to each other all best we can. Give each other grace we both grow at different rates with patience and forgiveness. Pray for each other. That is my advice.
Love the design, and the wise advice. Yes, I love scented flowers. But my favorite flower is gladiolus. All that keeps it from being perfect is the lack of scent.
Flower QOTD - I love lilacs and peonies- but I’m pretty sure I would love them even if they didn’t smell amazingly!!! I like their multiple petals and how soft they feel. And Dogwoods. YES! Dogwoods don’t have much scent either!
To the question of the day. My favorite flower is a stargazer lilly and its mostly because of the smell. Also I work at Scarborough as a member of the preforming cast. I really hope to see you whlie you are out there. There are a lot of new things happening at faire this year and I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
Listen, peeps say you shouldn't date long distance but there are some wonderful positives that come from it! You said some things that are the same for me and my husband who dated long distance for a few years before we were married. 6 years married and we always want to be together. People think we're so weird.
I personally don't like flowers with strong smells simply because my nose is messed up. I don't think that flowers smell the same to me as they do to everyone else. It's like, with some kind of alcohol like whiskey that has, for example, chocolate and caramel scent notes, I don't smell chocolate or caramel, I smell the ethanol. Same goes for perfumes, I don't smell what they're supposed to smell like. Which sucks because I love the look of flowers, they just all smell like chemicals, so I can't have them in my house. Beautiful soap today, Katie. I already love this collection so much
SOAPMAKING QUESTIONish: Do you have a conditioner bar soap recipe or do you use a premade conditioner base? I would love to purchase the recipe if available. I have also been trying to convert everything to soap bars. Do you use one of your products as a body wash? Ive had to resort to liquid body wash because of its hydrating properties. I would love to know if you make something that can replace that. I love watching the cold process but have no desire to make my own at this time. Your safety process is impeccable and isn’t something i have time for with 4 littles running around at home. Your soaps are incredible! I am always amazed by your designs! I absolutely love watching your videos. You are so real and enjoyable to watch! Everyone should have a best friend like you! This homestead collection makes me excited for the rural property we have bought and are working to develop to live on! I plan on having an incredible garden and lots of fun things like that!
I am newly married (sept 2022). One thing that we always keep in mind is "it's you and me vs. the problem, not you vs. me" We are on the same team. Even if we disagree.
I love being married too. My husband and I are inseparable, we worked together in college and our coworkers were BAFFLED at how we could spend 11 hours at work together and then go home and still want to spend time with each other, but that's just how we are. Even being in the same room doing our own things feels better because we're with each other. My rule is unconditional love. It's how I was raised, I may not always like you, but that has no bearing on the fact that I love you. Being mad or frustrated is temporary. I've never gone to bed mad, mostly because I can't stand not to resolve conflict IMMEDIATELY like it drives me insane not to talk it out ASAP. I can't imagine telling him he couldn't sleep in our room.
I’m obsessed with bachelor buttons and I don’t think they smell. But also roses are so much more appealing because they do smell great! I don’t think a good smell is necessary to like a flower, but it definitely helps!
My husband and I have been married for 45 years, and the advice I give to everyone is simple: remember that love is NOT a feeling..... it's a commitment. Your feelings will change, sometimes from minute to minute. But it's the COMMITMENT that holds a marriage together.
I’ve been married 38 years and you gave so good advice ( really you did) I’m applying some next time an argument arises! And the soap is beautiful, can’t wait to smell it!💙💚💛💜💕
There's a tree that grew in my childhood backyard that flowered and had a very distinctive and pleasant smell. The flowers are unremarkable, but it's still my favorite flower because of the smell and the memories attached to it. So to me, yes the smell of flowers makes me like them more.
Very cute soap! My partner and I aren't married but we have been living together for about 10 years now. We have had some ups and downs but overall, yeah, just like with any advice you really gotta just go with what resonates with you and chuck the rest of it. We are also the type of couple that just really enjoys spending time together and if one of us wants alone time, we just go to the other room for a bit or take advantage of when one of us goes to bed before the other and we get our alone time that way. He's very much a introvert and I'm somewhere between an ambivert and an omnivert so, we both have different social needs and that sometimes gets a bit icky but we've always been able to make it work out in the end.
Just placed my first order as an early birthday gift to myself...I am beyond excited for the gummy bear and glow- in-the-dark mushrooms soap!! I've been making soap for a little over a year now and I can only hope to be a fraction as talented/creative as you, Katie. Thank you for being you🤩
This soap is so cute! The colors you chose are sooo nice and I just adore the soap as a whole! I also love how colorful the embeds are. I live in a place where there are a TON of farms in between city drives. The highlight of me going from one city to another is getting to see all the cows and horses n other animals out on the fields grazing, playing and laying in the grass.
Oh and for the QOTD: I have asthma and strong fragrances can often trigger it. And I'm very allergic to pollen so super fragrant flowers sadly aren't my thing. But I love looking at pretty flowers and thinking about making a garden with them.
My husband and I have been married for 11yrs as of may 5th, He's honestly my best friend and rock. We are completely opposite as well! I grew up dirt poor he grew up privileged. He's aquarius and I'm a pisces. But we couldn't fit more perfectly together lol as for fights we have a huge rule no matter what we still say we love each other and give a hug and kiss before the other walks away. You never know what could happen after one leaves so never shut the door in anger
My husband and I have been together for 15 years and married 10 of those years. He is an attorney that mainly works from his home office unless he needs to meet clients or go to court and I’m a stay at home mom/home bath, body and candle business. I absolutely love the fact we get so much together. He is an absolute treasure to me and even when we get in each others nerves we end up laughing almost every single time afterwards at being ornery about something so small 😂
My parents were married for over 40 years and they never called each other nasty or bad names. they had the cute pet names, my mom called my dad darling and my dad called my mom sweetheart. Even if they did not agree on something, they respected how the other felt and with out fail EVERY morning before i dad left for work he told my mom he loved her.
My hubby and I have been married 21 years. One of the best piece of advice I can give for anyone getting married is to care more about the marriage than the wedding. Do the premarital counseling. Ask the hard questions. Have a plan. Be on the same page with finances and kids. The wedding is one day. Marriage is thousands of days.
You are such an amazing person!You always crack me up but in a very sweet kind of way because you are so young, but yet you are so wise beyond even my years ! I'm probably 15 years older than you. Maybe more, and your wisdom just never ceases to amaze me! The habits you and Caleb have is the best unintended marriage advice I've ever received.I'll probably never get married again. , but if I ever do get into a relationship, this is perfect advice! The funny thing is, you weren't giving advice. You were just saying what works for you!
My husband and I have also been married seven years, and my best marriage advice is this mantra: "I, too, am annoying, and if he weren't here, I'd still have to do this annoying chore, PLUS I'd have no one to cuddle with after." Works every time!

Mine and my husband’s love language is quality time and physical touch, so spending in-person time with each other is an ideal situation for us 😂 I will never get how people like to do extended or regular trips away from their spouse because my brain is so much a fan of spending all my time with him lol
Same here!!
my relationship advice is: "figure out what you need and what you can give. same for your spouse. talk openly about it, find what works. it doesnt have to fit expectations, throw it out the window, throw out "winning". look for what works and update that regularly." relationships are essentially venn diagrams, you are hestablish where your circles are and you find the overlap
I like the color and shape of flowers more than anything. I love big blooms and I love star shaped things, and seeing gorgeous color combos makes me want to have a giant garden.
SAD or seasonal affect disorder is a very real thing. When the winter starts to hit my daughter has to spend time tanning a few times a week. She really needs to get a uv light instead, but it does help her greatly.
Those UV lights are life savers (literally, for some folks, like me)!
Favorite video for sure loved having that conversation about marriage you should do more like this
We also got married May 21, 2016 and we’re from Wills Point, TX (just up the road basically). I love watching your videos! The best piece of marriage advice we ever received was to never go to bed angry or without discussing an issue. That has worked for us.
Lilacs and Iris are my favorite flowers and they both have a lovely scent...
I used to have over 50 chickens! I'm down to 9 now but I'll get more soon. I'm so so so looking forward to the chicken soap! Tomorrow is my 10 year wedding anniversary 😁 my favorite flower doesn't smell so I think it's the color and shape of the flowers for me
Bramble Berry is the best. She is what got me to watch soap making videos
I always say that my husband and I have a very high tolerance for each other 😂😂😂 We adore time together
Ahahaha the mini-rant about "burping" the stick blender was such a delight
Cannot wait for this soap design to arrive! My husband and I have been married for over twenty five years and you gave the best advice ever possibly because we also follow this advice. My husband and I come also from very different backgrounds and both fairly stubborn so being respectful and listening in an argument is key to our solving them. Take care!
I love your soaps and watching you make them telling us stories. Makes it fun and interesting. I always tell people that communication is key. If you can't talk about anything with your significant other, then maybe you shouldn't be in a relationship. We've been married almost 30 years now. And most people don't believe me, but we hardly argue. We have disagreements, but we never fight. LOL I guess we got it out of our systems when we were dating. As for flowers I like roses. But my fav flower of all is Lilly of the Valley. It's near impossible to find anything scented with it. We used to have some growing by our front door growing up. It's also the flower of May my birth month.
My new attitude that is making my marriage better is, being aware of our own strengths and weaknesses. As in, i cook almost every night, and when I'm feeling frustrated by that responsibility- I remember that I do almost no laundry, because that's his strength.
I have been with my boyfriend for almost five years. My boyfriend has been the best guy I've ever been with and you are so correct on how relationships are different for each person, because there really isn't a fix all for everyone because we're all different and individualized.
Such a beautiful soap & a big thank you for returning to your old video format. It’s such a pleasure 😊
No, I love the beauty of flowers above all. The smell is just a bonus but not necessary to me. Thanks for sharing Beautiful.
I love this soap! The only thing I would change are the flowers. I would love to have different molds for the flowers, not only roses. 🌹
I can see what you mean about that design, but must say, way to represent International Woman's Day! 💜
Flowers hold the reproductive organs of the plant and holy moly was the design spot on to honor that!
Am loving all the extra details in this video and the length. Great watch before I go to sleep x
My brother-in-law married my husband and me. When he married us he said something along the lines of "I only have one piece of marriage advice, don't listen to all the advice" because yes, everyone is unique and every situation is unique! So excited to see the rest of the collection.
23 years and my husband and I can be around each other every day 24/7. We do a sport together every week.
I love smelly flowers but not overly smelly.
I've worked with my spouse since before we even got together. We met in October 2016 at Kmart and started dating at the start of 2017: we worked together through 3 jobs until I finally started working at a different job in 2021. We have lived together since 2018. People asked us all the time how we managed to be around one another 24/7 without wanting to strangle one another and honestly, for us, the answer was to have separate hobbies at home and different roles in our workplaces so that although we ate lunch together, we weren't actually working together most of the time. We dedicate time to our own separate pastimes, but make time to do specific things together so that we can still have those bonding moments. If we are feeling grumpy we usually just seek out space to be alone until we feel calm enough to talk to the other person about whatever we are feeling.
I have been 30 years my husband every month wish each other happy Anniversary. We communicate to each other all best we can. Give each other grace we both grow at different rates with patience and forgiveness. Pray for each other. That is my advice.
Katie you and your family are amazing! Even if I can't buy products every month I will always be here for the views and the likes. ❤️
I appreciate that so much!!
Strong smells, especially florals, are one of the biggest triggers for my migraines, so I prefer flowers with no scent.
Love the design, and the wise advice.
Yes, I love scented flowers. But my favorite flower is gladiolus. All that keeps it from being perfect is the lack of scent.
Flower QOTD - I love lilacs and peonies- but I’m pretty sure I would love them even if they didn’t smell amazingly!!! I like their multiple petals and how soft they feel. And Dogwoods. YES! Dogwoods don’t have much scent either!
To the question of the day. My favorite flower is a stargazer lilly and its mostly because of the smell.
Also I work at Scarborough as a member of the preforming cast. I really hope to see you whlie you are out there. There are a lot of new things happening at faire this year and I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
I will tell everyone on IG when we pick a day to go so I can say hi to everyone! 💗
Beautiful!! I am dying to smell it! I love flowers even if they don't have a smell. But the smell of lilies reminds me of Easter
We only have one child, sometimes I feel I’ve let him down but he does have a good life 😊
Listen, peeps say you shouldn't date long distance but there are some wonderful positives that come from it! You said some things that are the same for me and my husband who dated long distance for a few years before we were married. 6 years married and we always want to be together. People think we're so weird.
I saw that image of Bluey and I feel like you would absolutely rock a Bluey inspired collection!
I personally don't like flowers with strong smells simply because my nose is messed up. I don't think that flowers smell the same to me as they do to everyone else. It's like, with some kind of alcohol like whiskey that has, for example, chocolate and caramel scent notes, I don't smell chocolate or caramel, I smell the ethanol. Same goes for perfumes, I don't smell what they're supposed to smell like. Which sucks because I love the look of flowers, they just all smell like chemicals, so I can't have them in my house.
Beautiful soap today, Katie. I already love this collection so much
The soap is beautiful! Loved all the colors and embeds!
Thank you for talking about vitamins! I completely forgot my vitamins and meds this morning. I'm gonna go get those now. 😀
SOAPMAKING QUESTIONish:
Do you have a conditioner bar soap recipe or do you use a premade conditioner base? I would love to purchase the recipe if available.
I have also been trying to convert everything to soap bars. Do you use one of your products as a body wash? Ive had to resort to liquid body wash because of its hydrating properties. I would love to know if you make something that can replace that. I love watching the cold process but have no desire to make my own at this time. Your safety process is impeccable and isn’t something i have time for with 4 littles running around at home.
Your soaps are incredible! I am always amazed by your designs!
I absolutely love watching your videos. You are so real and enjoyable to watch! Everyone should have a best friend like you!
This homestead collection makes me excited for the rural property we have bought and are working to develop to live on! I plan on having an incredible garden and lots of fun things like that!
The conditioner recipe would be for personal use. I don’t know if my original post made that clear. Haha. You are amazing! And super fun to watch!
This makes my heart so happy and yearn for spring! 🥹
I’m so glad!!
Happy Womens Day sis!
My anniversary is May 21st as well! 18 years and 3 kids later we are very much in love!
I am newly married (sept 2022). One thing that we always keep in mind is "it's you and me vs. the problem, not you vs. me" We are on the same team. Even if we disagree.
I love being married too. My husband and I are inseparable, we worked together in college and our coworkers were BAFFLED at how we could spend 11 hours at work together and then go home and still want to spend time with each other, but that's just how we are. Even being in the same room doing our own things feels better because we're with each other. My rule is unconditional love. It's how I was raised, I may not always like you, but that has no bearing on the fact that I love you. Being mad or frustrated is temporary. I've never gone to bed mad, mostly because I can't stand not to resolve conflict IMMEDIATELY like it drives me insane not to talk it out ASAP. I can't imagine telling him he couldn't sleep in our room.
I...very much want this soap! XD The colors are just gorgeous, and I feel like I can smell the fragrance just by looking at it!
Homestead range is going to be so pretty xx
I just love you soap tutorials and happy personality. Thank you
I’m obsessed with bachelor buttons and I don’t think they smell. But also roses are so much more appealing because they do smell great! I don’t think a good smell is necessary to like a flower, but it definitely helps!
My husband and I have been married for 45 years, and the advice I give to everyone is simple: remember that love is NOT a feeling..... it's a commitment. Your feelings will change, sometimes from minute to minute. But it's the COMMITMENT that holds a marriage together.
this is so springy and adorable, I think this one will be an awesome present for my Mom.
I’ve been married 38 years and you gave so good advice ( really you did) I’m applying some next time an argument arises! And the soap is beautiful, can’t wait to smell it!💙💚💛💜💕
There's a tree that grew in my childhood backyard that flowered and had a very distinctive and pleasant smell. The flowers are unremarkable, but it's still my favorite flower because of the smell and the memories attached to it. So to me, yes the smell of flowers makes me like them more.
Very cute soap! My partner and I aren't married but we have been living together for about 10 years now. We have had some ups and downs but overall, yeah, just like with any advice you really gotta just go with what resonates with you and chuck the rest of it. We are also the type of couple that just really enjoys spending time together and if one of us wants alone time, we just go to the other room for a bit or take advantage of when one of us goes to bed before the other and we get our alone time that way. He's very much a introvert and I'm somewhere between an ambivert and an omnivert so, we both have different social needs and that sometimes gets a bit icky but we've always been able to make it work out in the end.
My husband and I also celebrate our wedding anniversary in May. Ours is the 5th and we will be celebrating 16 years married this year.
Oh I love how these turned out!!! I don't see anything "off" with the swirls.
Just placed my first order as an early birthday gift to myself...I am beyond excited for the gummy bear and glow- in-the-dark mushrooms soap!! I've been making soap for a little over a year now and I can only hope to be a fraction as talented/creative as you, Katie. Thank you for being you🤩
This soap is so cute! The colors you chose are sooo nice and I just adore the soap as a whole! I also love how colorful the embeds are.
I live in a place where there are a TON of farms in between city drives. The highlight of me going from one city to another is getting to see all the cows and horses n other animals out on the fields grazing, playing and laying in the grass.
Oh and for the QOTD: I have asthma and strong fragrances can often trigger it. And I'm very allergic to pollen so super fragrant flowers sadly aren't my thing. But I love looking at pretty flowers and thinking about making a garden with them.
My husband and I have been married for 11yrs as of may 5th, He's honestly my best friend and rock. We are completely opposite as well! I grew up dirt poor he grew up privileged. He's aquarius and I'm a pisces. But we couldn't fit more perfectly together lol as for fights we have a huge rule no matter what we still say we love each other and give a hug and kiss before the other walks away. You never know what could happen after one leaves so never shut the door in anger
Poetry, Texas - sounds like a magical place!
My husband and I have been together for 15 years and married 10 of those years. He is an attorney that mainly works from his home office unless he needs to meet clients or go to court and I’m a stay at home mom/home bath, body and candle business. I absolutely love the fact we get so much together. He is an absolute treasure to me and even when we get in each others nerves we end up laughing almost every single time afterwards at being ornery about something so small 😂
My parents were married for over 40 years and they never called each other nasty or bad names. they had the cute pet names, my mom called my dad darling and my dad called my mom sweetheart. Even if they did not agree on something, they respected how the other felt and with out fail EVERY morning before i dad left for work he told my mom he loved her.
Oh I love the inspo for this collection, can't wait for the rest of it!
Please, oh please, wear pearls for the rest of these intros! OMG you would look darling in pearls!!!!
My hubby and I have been married 21 years.
One of the best piece of advice I can give for anyone getting married is to care more about the marriage than the wedding. Do the premarital counseling. Ask the hard questions. Have a plan. Be on the same page with finances and kids.
The wedding is one day. Marriage is thousands of days.
The only marriage advice I took to heart and followed ever since: say what you mean, and mean what you say.
I would love to learn more about your process of filming and also writing down the procedure for each soap you make!
Aw I love the circle frosting tip! I love clouds though ☁️
You are such an amazing person!You always crack me up but in a very sweet kind of way because you are so young, but yet you are so wise beyond even my years ! I'm probably 15 years older than you. Maybe more, and your wisdom just never ceases to amaze me! The habits you and Caleb have is the best unintended marriage advice I've ever received.I'll probably never get married again. , but if I ever do get into a relationship, this is perfect advice! The funny thing is, you weren't giving advice. You were just saying what works for you!
