I am so impressed George, your video is wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and learned a lot, in particular about using that Cedarwood to anchor my blends! Having personally smelled and used your soaps, I know how amazing they are. I'm keen to use some of your blends in my future videos!
I think you have a great face, great expression, and a perfect voice for youtube! Not to mention your incredible knowledge that so many people can benefit from. Great to see you took the plunge into your first 'talkie' video - well done 🙌
Elly
Thanks so much for your kind words🙏 that's great to hear. Blend away ☺️ it was good to take the plunge 🙏
Hello Elly i have learned from you about the tea tree and rosemary blend. . .😊😊
Hello George and Elly. I am new to soap making and am yet to try my first batch. I have been following Elly's videos and stumbled upon the interview that you both did. I cannot even begin to tell you how inspired I am just listening to you'll speak. I want to thank you both for the generosity you have in sharing your knowledge. Much love to you both from India 🙏🏻💞
Thanks so much Shweta. Very kind of you, glad to hear it. Thanks for watching and tuning in ☺️🙏
@@24shwetaa Hey go for it I am soaping for just over a year. It's so satisfying. And am really surprised that you get all most all the ingredients in India. From EOs to clays to the botanicals.
I started by watching Elly for the very first time.
I'm a new soapmaker and you are a godsend!!! I'm getting my popcorn and binge watching your videos and taking notes.
Thanks Gina, enjoy the Bingeing 😉🙏🙏🙏
Hi George,million thanks to you. You are so compassionate sharing your knowledge with us. You save us money and time. THANK YOU VERY MUCH❤
Thanks for watching, and for the comment. glad to hear it's helping 🙏
You are my godsend George!! I found you through your appearance on Elly. I am new to soap making in practice and have been watching all the greats across youtube for awhile now, gathering info here and there for when I am ready for the much anticipated deep dive. I find you (and Elly) to be the most informative and helpful, especially with all the nuances involved that often get missed by others. I especially wish to express my gratitude for this particular video on Essential Oils and anchoring them. No one else talks about this and you have saved myself and many others who wish to stick with what is natural from that long arduous expensive rabbit hole of experimenting and wasting of ingredients so to speak. Experimenting is always good but great to not enter it so blindly now thanks to you! P.S. your humble and gentle manner make watching and learning a pleasure, so good move by you that you embraced your true value and revealed yourself to the world on here.
Thanks so much for commenting and the kind words Jane. I am really glad I decided to do this video, I was really hesitant, it was actually Elly that encouraged me to do so and get in front of the camera to overcome my fears! I felt it would help many others and of course I love aromatherapy blending especially in soap making. It is by far the most expensive input in soap both for businesses and soap hobbyists alike, and can easily accumulate to a considerable amount especially with trial & error. Thanks again much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
George maybe this is the first but definitely not the last well done
🙏 thanks so much.
Hi, after Elly's page I came here, good Information, I am glad I saw this, thanks, good luck,
Thanks so much for heading on over. Glad to hear it 🙏☺️
Me too! Yes blessing in your soap business and being a willing vessel to help people like us!
Dear George..
It is such a valuable, highly valuable lecture about Essential Oil Blend. I faced all the problems you pointed out in the beginning of your talk. I was looking for solutions but couldn’t find all these information together in book or article! Thank you very for your time and efforts. Thank you very much for sharing such information that would save our time and money in the journey of making soap. Thank you for your generosity 🙌🏻
You're very welcome 🙏 glad you enjoyed and found it useful
Sir, you are such a good educator for those of us who are experience soapers but continue learning the intricacies of the craft. I truly appreciate you sharing so much of your knowledge. 😍 May you continue to prosper in proportion to your generosity!
Thank you kindly, much appreciated 😊🙏🙏🙏
I've been learning from Elly's Everyday and just watched her video featuring your soaps. So generous of you. So I thought that I'd help support your new channel, and wish you well. Appreciate the information in this video, thank you so much!
Greetings Kimmy thanks for heading on over and watching 😁🙏
Same. 💞 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you 😊🙏
There's so much information in this video! I need to watch again and take notes. I'm just getting into soapmaking and want to use all natural ingredients, so I needed this info. I had everything else sorted out except for the fragrance. Thank you so much for taking the time and making this video!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your experience! It really does match my own experiences in soaping with EOs over the last 25 years 😊 But I'm always learning. Just finished a round of trials with Sweet Orange, which I rarely use, and had to figure out how to hold the scent, even with patchouli in the blend! Atlas Cedarwood is my usual go-to (and also my favourite scent in the universe! 😊) but this time I tried to recreate all the individual parts of the scent of oranges, using petitgrain and bergamot, and black pepper to synthesize everything together. It was a very interesting process!
Thanks Janet. I love cedarwood also it's my most favourite EO followed by patchouli and clove. Yeah orange 5 or 10 fold is really the only way to go in cold process soap. Will have a hard time making regular orange stick. It's too fragile. It's always fun learning and applying especially something like essential oils. Learning never stops with soap making or anything really 🙏🙏🙏
WOWSA! Awesome George.
Thank you for "teaching"!! Keep going with these vids please, please & Pleeeeease!
Hellooo. Thanks a lot. I will definitely. Trying to think of next topic 🤓🧐
I have bought your soaps and they are beautiful, the lather, smell and bubbles. The scents blends are amazing and last a long time. Thank you for all your time and knowledge, you are truly a lovely human being.
Thanks so much for the comments. So kind, glad to hear you're liking 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! I learned so much. Elly recommended this and it was so helpful. Haven’t seen a video or article as clear as this.
Thanks Karen, that's great to hear you learned from the video, much appreciated. Elly is a gem ☺️🙏
so love this George. I'm still learning so much about soap making
Thanks for watching, there is always stuff to learn, the learning process is never ending for a soap maker 😁🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your in-depth knowledge of mixing essential oils. I am SO excited to try using base and top notes.... I've been very basic in my soap making until now, and I'd love to try your combinations so that the scent will actually last! I'm very thankful that you took the plunge to make this video (even though I'm quite late to the game in finding it!)
Thanks for the comment and for watching, glad you're going to give it a try, you'll love how they turn out 🙏
Thank you so much!! Has been very very very informative!
Thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏

Im just beginning to make soap. Your vidio is so informative.. Thank you
Hi Rhonda, thanks for commenting I am glad you found it informative. 😊🙏
Great information, thank you!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Great video. Thanks 😊
Thanks so much for watching, glad you think so 🙏🙏🙏
Oh by George! ⚘The stars were all alligned when you decided to make soap. I'm incredibly grateful to you for sharing this most insightful knowledge of essential oil blends. I love beautiful scents! ⚘🌱🌿 Patchouli has always been my favourite.
I havent made a bar of soap yet as we are in lockdown here in NZ so hardware stores are closed.
I'm so very excited and have more confidence than ever now in blending my essential oils based on the different notes of each. Thankyou to you and Elley for filling my basket more than I've ever known about the soap makng process. Just marvelous ♥️
Thanks so much for commenting and watching Moehau. I am glad you found the video insightful. Hopefully soon you can begin blending and making some soap to satisfy the soaping urge / soap bug 🙏😉
😃😄
Learned so much, thank you!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Well done very informative. Ty
You're welcome thanks for watching 🙏
Hello George, I met you through Kelly's videos and loved it. Congratulations on your work. My biggest difficulty, now that I venture into the world of homemade soaps, is to find essential oils and other raw materials, in suppliers other than the final seller, which get very expensive. I do not know how to do, where to look, I live in Portugal!
Thank you kindly :)) ahh yes I see (Love and appreciate Keeley). Sorry to hear that things are harder to source where you are. It can make things a little more difficult. Try unscented and functional soap for yourself and the home, they will definitely not go to waste :)) 🙏
Thanks you very much. Mil gracias 🙏
You're welcome Veronica. Thanks for watching 🙏
This is a great instructional video. Thank you for all of this information. We have recently decided to use only essential oils so this video is really helpful to us. I never would have thought to add cedarwood to lavender. Fantastic. I will be watching this again to take notes! 😊👍🏼
You're very welcome. Glad you find it useful. A good 3% lavender and 1% Cedarwood Atlas will provide a long lasting bar 🙏
Great job Dawn your videos ❤️
Thank you 🙏 glad you ♥️ them ☺️
Thank you so much!!! ☺️
No worries 🙏😁
Very nice soap. Natural and big size. Im very careful with titanium dioxide, for the same reason you just mentioned.
George THANK YOU!!!
I've learnt sssooooo much! Every second was worth it! Also DO NOT hide your face!
Heard of you from one of Elly's videos and I'm so glad I paid attention when she recommended you and your soaps 😇!
May you both continue to grow and prosper 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching Maki, glad you are learning and finding the information useful. I faced all these challenges at the beginning also, so it's great to share with others! Thanks for heading on over, Elly is a doll!
This was invaluable for a beginner soap maker. I have been so disappointed when an expensive EO blend didn't transfer well or last in a soap bar. Your very patient explanation and the back up slides were a great help to my note-taking. I have been trying all year to anchor a decent lavender scent - and will be trying again with my next batch feeling much more confident. Thank you very much.
Hello there, and thanks for reaching out and the kind words. I totally understand and was in the same boat at the beginning. Try a 3% lavender and 1% cedarwood, it creates a long lasting aroma. Also add some clays also! they help anchor too. Let me know how it goes would love to hear :)
you just answered my question xoxo
Thanks for watching, Glad to have answered 😁🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for the in-depth video, i enjoyed it a lot! great job :)
You're welcome and thanks for watching 🙏😁
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I dabble in soap making for home use and love using essential oils but am often disappointed with the lasting power of the scents. I appreciate your detailed explanation on base notes, and how they anchor top notes..i had always been slightly confused by this, I thought the base would over power, but now understand it depends on the percentage used. So a big thank you. I have also had a look at your website and excited to try some of you soaps.
Greetings Launa, thanks so much for the comment 🙏 yeah I had also been disappointed at the beginning, I couldn't find much information either so it really was going back to the drawing board to figure it out. Glad I did, also happy to save others the trouble, it can be really disheartening it not turning out the way you want. Thanks so much for checking out the website. It will be restocked in a couple of weeks after mother's day it left my shelves a little depleted 🙏
So thats what you look like George ... Well done to you... I'm still at the scary stage of videoing myself and talking about natural skincare balms, but now that you have had a go ... I think its about time I get brave and just start LOL... amazing sharing thank you so much
Thank you :). I'd say take the plunge and just do it, once you do it's fine after that! I would love to watch your content too. I make balms also. Let me know when you do and I will watch and subscribe ^.^
Thankyou .....very helpful. Essential oil is so expensive. But so nice to put it in soap. Tea tree with rosemary is a nice mix. The smell stays for a long time. That was my experience.
Your welcome 🙏 it is a nice combo indeed ☺️
Thanks so very much for this info. Great job. And many thanks to Elly for your intro. Cheers
Thank you muchly for watching, glad you think so 🙏 it really was a wonderful thing Elly did, she has an enormous heart 🙏
So appreciate your complete transparency w/ your formulas. This is really amazing. Such good & useful info thank you.
Much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
Thx so much George for the valuable and helpful advice!!! You are so kind to share your knowledge with the community!!
You're welcome glad you are finding it valuable 🙏
Me again... would you tell us the variety of cedar wood you prefer? I hear “Alice” but I can’t find it as such. Here I can get “juniperus virginiana” “juniperus texana” and “cupressus funebris”. Thx a lot again!!
I love cedarwood atlas. I haven't used other cedarwood variations. I am sure they are just as good though 🙏
@@DawnOrganics Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰
Thank you George, a wonderful video - I've been interested in aromatherapy for a long time, but new to cold process soap making! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Bring on more videos! Ruth
Thank you Ruth. Aromatherapy and Soap Making are a beautiful combination 🙏 you're definitely going to catch the soap bug 😁🙏
I love this video! First one I have seen that has great information about essential oils. Its all about anchoring
Hi Keeley. Thanks so much for watching 🙏 glad you liked the video ☺️ yes it sure is, anchoring with clays and a base ensures a beautiful lasting scent in your soap. It works wonders. I have another video where I shared some blends I created a well as other soapers who have shared some of their blends to. I'm sure you'd enjoy that video also. 🙏
Just love it!!! 💕 Finally somebody explains! 😁
🙏😊
Thanks for all the great info! Appreciate your time!
Very welcome thanks for watching 🙏🙂
Thank you for sharing your expertise George. Very much appreciated!
Hello Bea. You're very welcome. Happy blending 😊😁🙏
Thank you from morroco
Thank you 🙏 also thanks to Morocco for Cedarwood Atlas essential oil 👌☺️

You're very welcome. Let me know how you go 😁 thanks for commenting and tuning in 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of EO, tremendously helpful to someone like me who is just starting out.
Thanks so much for watching, you're very welcome. Happy blending and soaping! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! You explained several things I didn't understand before and I really appreciate it!
Thanks for watching. Glad to hear it 🙏🙏🙏
Great video, very helpful.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching 🙏
@@DawnOrganics
You're welcome. Nothing wrong with either your face or your speaking voice lol.
Any tips for getting a really good lavender scent that sticks? I've been having trouble with it.
Thank you
Thank you 🙏 I've become more comfortable now so not as daunting. I find 3% lavender and 1% cedarwood atlas sticks very nicely
@@DawnOrganics
Thank you. I'm going to try it.
That was a great video George with lots of helpful information. Thank you......and you have a very nice face, and voice for video!
Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏 and Nice to hear from you again. ☺️👍
Orange EO is one of my favorites too!
It's delicious 😅
Thank you for sharing, I have been looking into blending essential oils into soaps but im a bit scared since I want to get the right portions before I start. This has really helped me and I love your content. Just subscribed. Keep up the good work and im looking forward to more.
Thanks so much 🙏 glad you like happy to share the knowledge. Happy blending ☺️
Thank you so much for the great and informative video. I’ve learned a lot from this video.
Thanks so much David, glad to hear it 🙏
Hi George! This is fab thank you. It’s great to put a face to the working hands. Ive been experimenting with soap making during lockdown having learned from Ely’s Eveyday and I’m now thinking of setting up a business. I’ve been watching lots videos about perfume and olfactory - I’m a big fan of Jean-Claude Elena’s work - I’ve learned so much so this is great to add to my knowledge base. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Very best wishes to you and every success for your business! Trish
Thanks so much for the comments 🙏 how exciting best wishes to your new business idea and soaping journey! It's a very addictive thing soap making. 😊👍
@@DawnOrganics George you should be much more confident - you have a great product and (like Elly) you are an excellent communicator which is a gift. As a friend of mine always says;”Love you, love your work” 👍
Thanks so much 🙏 she is an excellent communicator indeed. She has a nice calming voice also. Very enjoyable watching her content ☺️
Great video. I was starting to research essential oils for soaping as I do not want to use fragrance oils and you rocked the subject. Well done! and thank you. I am a newbie to soaping so thanks.
Thank you and you're welcome 🙏 Aromatherapy all the way I say, it's not as scary as it seems when done right 👍
Thank you, that was very nice of you to share. It was very good informative video. My favorite blend is patchouli and rose geranium.
You're very welcome. Sounds lovely 🙏 I have never tried that but now you've inspired me ♥️
Thank you George, I learned so much. I found this video through a soaping forum. It was recommended when someone asked about essential oils. I’m definitely getting some cedar wood Atlas!
Greetings Peg, Thank you kindly, glad you learned from it! Oh interesting, which forum would that be? You can use either Cedarwood Atlas or Virginian as they are both similar in scent, whatever is easier for you to obtain 🙏🙏🙏
Hello! I’m here after seeing you on Elly’s page. I am a new soap maker and want to use only essential oils in my soaps. I have a lot to learn. Thank you for sharing this information.
Hello there, thanks for commenting and tuning in 😁🙏 you're welcome hopefully the information will help
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with your viewers. I had many "Aha!" moments watching this video.
Thank you 🙏 you are welcome glad you enjoyed 😁☺️
Muy instructivo y practico, muchas gracias!
You're very welcome 🙏
Just watched the video with you and Elly. Very helpful. I have never made soap before but wanting to learn! So thank you. 🙏
Thanks so much for watching 🙏🙂 Wonderful once you start you'll become addicted 😁👍🙏
@@DawnOrganics oh I know I will love it! I mainly cook in the kitchen so I’m looking forward to this lil change!! 😀
Lovely video n thanks to your tip of Cedarwood helping to anchor the scent…i am doing that in all my soaps….i give them as gifts to fmly n friends n everyone comes back with positive feedback….thanks a ton for the knowledge you n Elly share through your videos….🙏🙏
One question…i want to know whether i need to put the amount of EO in the soap calculator….if yes, will it calculate lye including the amount of EO..?? Thanks one again n pls keep sharing your videos….God bless you.💐
Thanks for watching, that's so great to hear 🙏🙏🙏 Elly is fantastic. Essential oils are additives in soap and are calculated as percentage of your oil amount in your recipe. No extra lye required 🙏🙏🙏
Hello George, thank you for all the information. I have been learning from Elly. I love soap and I enjoy enourmously making it. Im live in Guadalajara, México. There are talented soap makers here. I really apreciate you taking the time to talk about essential oils quantities. It is disapointing to percive a tiny smell of a beautiful essential oil after curing.
Greetings Claudia, thanks for commenting. Elly is a wonderful teacher with lots of knowledge I love her videos! Indeed it is disheartening when the finished product doesn't smell as intended. With a good amount of clay and base you can create a long lasting aroma 🙏
Thank you George.
There is nothing wrong with your face sir!!! Keep doing videos.
Thank you DeDe ☺️🙏
George thank you so much for sharing this! It's so hard to get good information about using EOs in CP soap. Thank you thank you thank you! I was also amazed to hear you say that you use EOs in candles as I read that they are flammable and dangerous and had given up on the idea. I would LOVE to hear more about how you do this. Thanks again for the time, effort and generosity that goes into sharing your knowledge like this, it is much appreciated :)
Greetings Jessica, thanks for watching glad you've found the information useful 🙏 Aromatherapy in candles are totally safe I have an introductory video on that if you wanted to check it out 🙏
@@DawnOrganics I will most definitely check it out! thank you :)
Great video and lots of helpful information. Thank you :-)
Thanks for watching Donna. 🙏
Just watched your 1st Video here in New York, great job!
To see The actual blending of any type of demonstration on camera is great. So if you're contemplating Demonstrating on camera, or just talking through the video, I think it's always best to demonstrate on camera. But once again the video was great and I learned a lot about Mixing Essential oils.
Thanks so much for commenting 🙏 I thought be best to do both as it is a very big topic, wanted to pass on as much knowledge as I could regarding EO Blending for CP as there isn't a lot out there. 🙏
Awesome and very informative video. I'm a beginner in CP soap making. Watching many videos of professionals nobody explains EO blending the way you did. Especially the flash point. Great! Also I have a small query. What is the idealflash point I should look for while selecting EOs ?
Thank you :) Flashpoints are half the story though. I think focus more on the blending side of it, I do have another video I share blends, definitely check that out, it will give more perspective
@@DawnOrganics thx a ton!
Excellent tutorial George, very informative!! Thanks. I want to try using the orange scent but don't have 10 fold, only have the 5 fold. Would the amount need to be increased?
Thank you for watching! 5 fold should be just fine I have been told by some followers they hadn't noticed any difference so continue to use it the same way as you would for 10-fold no problem. 🙏
Wow! I loved to watch this very informative video. Thank you very much , George, I think you did a wonderful job!
Thank you 🙏 Thanks for tuning in 😁
Great to meet you and love your face! I've been a fan of Elly's since getting back into soap making and enjoyed the chat with the two of you. I so appreciate your knowledge of EOs, especially your aromatherapy knowledge. And, I'm with you on cedarwood...not only woody but gives me a warm vibe. Thanks for vid!
Thanks so much Catherine, very kind. Elly is a doll, I too love cedarwood, it's such a beauty. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏
LOVING you GEORGE!!
thank you for all your sharing!!
I really try t o avoid the fragrance products-- they get stuck in my nose!!!
Thank you Connie 🙏 Yes they definitely do, essential oils don't appear to effect people as much. They are volatile in nature and they definitely don't give you a headache. That's one comment I have received a lot regarding soaps and soy candles also 🙏
Thank you George for a brilliant understanding of using essential oils you have certainly given me the confidence to create my own instead of store bought mixed varieties. In saying that could you please share where you buy your essential oils from? I notice in your other videos you are very gracious in sharing where you purchase everything but I can not find your supplier for essential oils. Looking forward to your next video, you are a natural.
Hi Sharon, thanks a lot for the kind words and commenting :) I source all my essential oils from a few suppliers, Heirloom Body Care, Australian Wholesale Oils, Naked Press, Candle Supply, Aussie Candle Supplies, Aussie Soap Supplies & New Directions. Also I get all my clays from them too, hope this helps
Hello George! Nice to meet you! Elly pointed me your way😊.Such a wealth of knowledge thank you! Looking for recommended suppliers for EO's where do you recommend I look? Thanks in advance if you do respond. Keep up the great job!
Thanks so much Luanne, thanks for watching. Elly is lovely! I do have a list of suppliers and there is a post in the Facebook group if you wanted to join. facebook.com/groups/dawnorganics 🙏🙏
@@DawnOrganics thank you so much will check it out for sure. Be well!
Thank you for the excellent information!
When you make blends..the proper way to blend is to use the recommended % usage rate for each eo for your blend per your batch grams used. Also, you used zinc oxide to whiten the soap as opposed to TD, may I ask what the recommended usage rate is for that?
Thanks for watching. Absolutely, I can't recommend it enough, researching dermal limits when using EOs and EO Blends. Very important. I've used 2% zinc oxide without drama, also other viewers attempted that percentage and gave feedback they liked it and it behaved 🙏
@@DawnOrganicsthank you so very much for responding!
Great great video!
So much of the good info, so down to business and easy to understand. Thank you so much, George 💜
Carry on!! Looking forward to learn more from you! Blessings in all
Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏 glad you are finding them informative 🙏
I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing some of your blends. Have a great day!
Hi Nancy, you're very welcome, enjoy them, thanks for tuning in :)
George, thank you again for this fabulous informative video explaining the use of essential oils and your examples lists of base, middle and top notes, and how you blend them. I feel I now understand a lot more than I did before listening to your patient delivery and knowledge. I very much enjoyed your interview/discussion with Elly. You definitely don't have to worry about appearing nervous - I give you 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
PS this is my second comment, the first one was before your Elly interview, after which I felt the need for a new one!
Nice to hear from you again Marion 🙏 thanks so much for your comments and your contribution. Very much appreciated.. I'm glad you found it useful 🙏 I hope it will be of use to your future EO Blending ☺️
Hey George
Just used Patchouli + Cedarwood blend in my French green clay soap. It rocks. I think Ektu had suggested this blend.
Nice. I quiet like that combination 🙏
Sorry that's Elly
thank you so much for your infomation looking forward to more .
Thank you ^.^
That was great George ! Cheers !
Thank you muchly 🙏
Thanks so much that was extremely informative.. I learnt so much !!!
I'm so glad 🙏 thanks for commenting 👍
Thank you for sharing so much information on essential oil blends and important tips on soap making in your first video itself… I was having so much doubts on blending of essential oil and your detailed explanation cleared it all..😊 Your video was simply superb!!!
Looking forward to watch more of your videos on soap making in future…
Thanks so much Geetha, very kind 😊🙏
I so want to try that blend of shea butter and coconut oil! Thanks for sharing your knowledge of essential oil blending with us!
Speaking of Frankincense, have you ever made a soap with frankincense resin? I have one that I make, hot process, that uses frankincense and myrrh resin, and I absolutely love it!
Thanks so much 🙏 it really is a good blend. Must try 😊
I just noticed the second part of your comment must have missed it. I have never used resins in soap making. Sounds interesting. May research more about it in future ☺️
@@DawnOrganics yes, I typically comment as ideas come to me during longer videos. In fact, I saw your first reply before I'd even finished watching the video!
That was super helpful. Thank you
You're very welcome. Glad you found it useful 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing and you did great. Hope to hear more good tips from you!
Thanks for the comments and tuning in 🙏
