I'm so grateful that I get to occasionally work with brands I actually like to create sponsored videos. Their direct support helps keep this channel afloat in the ever unstable world of TH-cam ad revenue. These videos will always be disclosed, of course, and I appreciate everyone's kind support for these partnerships. Royalty Soaps also participates in commission or discount affiliations, like Amazon or RewardStyle, as these opportunities become available, like Amazon and RewardStyle and while the money we make with these links isn't much, every little bit counts and once again, we really appreciate your support! These products will always be marked and disclosed with a "✦".
Katie didn't you teach you husband, your brothers, and your staff how to make soap? If you taught them, and they make the gorgeous soaps you sell, of course you're good enough to teach us! I think the value in you teaching us, is YOU. Because we love YOU. Hope that helps.
Yes I did and girl, you just hyped me WAY up! lol I feel so empowered to just DO IT!
🥰🥰🥰
She's right you can teach other ppl, if you wanted to
I'm so sorry I accidentally hit dislike on this. I don't know if you saw the notification of it getting a dislike but then I fixed it. I meant to click like and my finger slipped. 😂 My cat is right next to me and she's known for headbutting my hand that is holding my phone but that is not what happened. She's actually just laying there.
I agree! Your extra qualification is YOU! We are all here for you, Katie!
Opinions!
1) Like some others have said, either lighten the "main" yellow color so the poured yellow is more distinct against it, OR change the poured yellow to a green for a more "plant" feel.
2) Wallpaper. Depends on what vibe you want. The first paper with the big botanical print is better if you want the walls to be their own statement and room accessory. The middle paper with the subtle pattern is better if you want to put a lot of accessories in the room and on the walls - it won't compete. The third paper - I'm just not a fan of. Sorry.
I 100% agree with you. Being as unbiased as possible on the last one though, it would be somewhere in the middle. You could get away with hanging 1-2 small/medium, cool neutral items but getting them to line up right with the studs AND wallpaper would just be a pain.
Yes this is exactly what I was thinking on both counts
Oooh a green would be so pretty and make sense with the eucalyptus
Agree on the wallpaper assessment.
The wallpapers go down in greatness as the story progresses.
I think you should lighten up the main yellow to get more contrast between the yellows and I like the idea of a purple drizzle on the frosting :)
yeah i agree, keep the bright yellow how it is, and make the pale yellow even paler :)
I 3rd this suggestion! the bright yellow would look better if the main yellow "wasn't so yellow", lol
I agree 100%
Exactly what I said in MY comment.
I was about to say the exact same thing! The soap as-is is gorgeous but lightening the main yellow would add a bretter amount of contrast!
Honestly, I feel proud that I became a soap maker. I have eczema, like you, and mine is triggered by cheep fragrance. So everyone who manufactures on a large scale, including lush, isn't an option. I needed to control what was in my soaps so I had to make my soap. I had absolutely no idea where to start; because how do you do research when you don't know what to ask. Then you came in and you where an absolute god send. When you made the academy, I cant tell you how much you saved me, my skin, and my sanity. You made it inexpensive and extremely easy, and every document you've attached, every website you've pointed out, and every product you buy you tell us where its from; has been extremely helpful and that has made all the difference in every bar I make and use. So I hope with every fiber of my being that you don't doubt any video you make will be not be useful, because they have been and I'm sure they will continue to be.
Gurl, absolutely please make whatever tutorials strike your fancy I will watch them and mimic your steps religiously. Anyone *could* teach me but I trust you, my mom trusts you. I used your videos to put together a big tote with the Royal academy checklist for mothers day after it came out and we loved it. We’ve made several batches since and have just been waiting to have a full weekend together to make more. You added a whole shared hobby to our relationship and I can’t thank you enough. We would definitely love more royal academy.
Oh my gosh, I'm so humbled and you are way too kind! I might just take your advice and just go for it!
Ngl I feel like "my mom trusts you" is an underrated compliment to give someone. Like, you know someone is genuine if mom says so.

You said it right there. ANYONE could teach how to make soap, but whether or not to trust them is another story. Katie's been making soap for ten years, runs a whole business, and has taught her family/employees the way to make soap. What seals the trust factor most for me though, is how adamant she is about safety.
People are asking you to make the tutorials because they respect you as a creator and soap artisan.
You have shown your skill and knowledge by sharing it with us for years and we trust you.
I think that is the key! You have built our trust through your knowledge great products and amazing personality.
Definitely add a purple drizzle on top! It would help emphasize the purple swirl.
Agreed. The top looks sickly in contrast with the yellow
I think people appreciate your delivery and the way you teach, you're qualified! You're so positive and supportive, teach your audience.
You’ve said it yourself, there’s room for everyone in the soap making community. If you feel like you have knowledge to share, even if it’s just about cleaning soap dishes, then go ahead and make the tutorial! 🧡
+
Brambleberry might have some great tutorials but you are the only soap maker I watch, there’s a warmth and beauty to your soul 🖤✨💕🫧 it’s you and your creativity we come back for, much love 💕
I vote for one of the yellows to be pastel. And a pastel lavender frosting. So cute!
Wallpaper #1
(#3 is my favorite, but geometrics are maddening)
I second!
I learned how to make soap solely from your videos, the Academy videos were so incredibly helpful! You are an amazing teacher and you explain everything so thoroughly and clearly. Don't feel forced to make more tutorials but you are absolutely qualified. I would never have gotten into soapmaking without you and I'm so grateful!
+
I'd suggest to make that yellow a green, it ties in the plant vibe of both lavander and lemon and due to yellow and purple being opposite colors it gives a little rest
I like this idea, kind of like lemon "leaves" or mint or something. Give it a more botanical feel.
I kinda had a similar thought, a mint, lavender lemonade soap
The middle wallpaper! The neutral one! Also, I would lighten the main yellow but the purple drizzle sounds exciting! Lavender and lemon is like one of my fav scents! So excited to see it as a part of this collection.
For the wallpaper, I like the middle one the best. The first one is a bit busy and the last one is maybe too rigid. The middle one is organic, elegant and like you said neutral. :)
It would hold up the best over time in my opinion, the left and right papers may start to look dated sooner
Fully agree with this !! The second one almost feels timeless too, like you could live with it for a very long time and just making minor changes to the decor in the room would give you a completely different look :)
Hearing something from a trusted source is WAY more valuable and reassuring than just seeing info from any creator that comes up when you search something. Also, having a trusted source to reference when finding info elsewhere is incredibly helpful! Like others have said, including yourself 😉, you bring something different to the table just because you're YOU💚
I love that first wallpaper! Its gorgeous, and I think it will be something that will age well trend/aesthetics wise. Also, it has those nice muted colors that you can incorporate into your other decor!
I feel like you make things more approachable in your tutorials. I can be hard on myself when trying new things. You took the anxiety out of it. You keep things fun but still safe.
We would be ALL about that tutorial life, girl! Even if there are oodles of them out there, everyone learns differently. Sometimes a different person has a new spin on the same information that just makes it click for people. You could totally be the new spin that makes it click for someone.
+
I am utterly living for this bold yellow!
I like the first wallpaper, it's very pretty on its own, I think the second one is good if you want something that you can easily add to (art, mirror etc). Stay away from the third one tho :P
With the soap definitely add a little more white to the yellow and add a lavender drizzle, it might not need the glitter. The lavender bits could also be concentrated on the top (middle) of the loaf.
It is actually helpful to have the option of multiple people giving tutorials on the same subject. You will explain it in your own way, which is bound to click with some people’s learning styles, even people who had trouble really understanding the other tutorials! And for a craft like this where there is some investment and caustic substance involved, I would want to watch as many tutorials as I can to get a well rounded understanding from multiple perspectives. You absolutely have lots to offer the soaping tutorial space, Katie! Go for it!
The soap is pretty as is, but I think it would look nice with a light pastel purple frosting 🙂
And I really like the first wallpaper design.
Oh! And I would love more tutorial videos!
When it comes to writing and art, they always say, "okay, sure it's already been done, but it hasn't been done by you." Which you should definitely take to heart. You're unique and even if you think someone else does something better or even the same, you shouldn't discount yourself. We all have something to offer, if not in the big moments, in the little ones. And speaking for myself, I love your tutorials!
I think the yellow needs a bit of toning down, personally. When I think lemonade I think cloudy translucent with a hint of yellow, whereas this soap is very...Kool-aid/Peeps.
That's what I keep thinking! Just needs to cool it a little. haha
@@RoyaltySoaps If you ever do a Peeps inspired soap, though, keep this color palette in mind! It's perfect for that.
For the soap, I think you should lighten up the yellow.
For the wallpaper, the middle one 😍
Absolutely make more tutorials! You're a fantastic teacher!
Been having a tough day but seeing a new video helps a lot, especially with the ad read and Caleb’s constantly changing headwear.
Sorry about your tough day but I'm glad our acting skillz could help you feel better. lol
Your Royal Creative Academy videos are the BEST, clearest, most organized instructional videos I've seen about soaping. Your videos are TOTALLY why I decided to try soap making, and my first batch was wonderful THANKS TO YOU. I'd say definitely add more videos to the Academy!
I learned from your tutorials! I watched a lot but kept coming back to yours to actually try. Don’t be afraid to duplicate something. Sometimes a different teacher is what is needed for someone to learn! Thank you for all your videos. I learn so much from you and your processes! I also think it turned out great!
You are far and away the best tutorial teacher I have ever watched! Imposter Syndrome is real, but you have been making soap for a long time and are most definitely a professional with information to share. Also, the fact that one of your approaches is to be cost conscious is so very unique.
I like the inside of the soap! Something I think might improve it is a mica line/drizzle between layers of the frosting. It's something I personally really like and find it really adds an interesting element!
Katie - the soap looks AMAZING. You don't need to change the colors or the buds - nothing at all! It's just perfect!!! LOVE the yellows!
Hello Katy, i just wanted you to know that i absolutly adore you. You give me such a good energy and even if you massed up the color ,it still is a very ralaxing thing to watch. Thanks for being such a good example
I don't have much to add except Royalty Soaps videos is how my mom got comfortable enough to work with soap. She really wanted to do it but was nervous seeing other videos but YOU made it feel doable. Now soap making is a hobby we do together and soon we'll be using my great great (great?) grandmother's soap recipe now that we're comfortable. Thank you Katie for helping us continue an old family tradition that had been lost.
Hey! I haven't watched your tutorials on soap making but I wanted to encourage you to make more. There's always always going to be room for more informational content. You have many years of experience under your belt and, speaking from an artist's perspective, it's extremely valuable and helpful to hear different people share information about their craft. You might share a little detail or nugget of information that sticks with another soap maker indefinitely! Also, if you're worried about repeating yourself or putting out information that already exists, repetition isn't a bad thing in education. That information is there for those who seek it out BUT you might have an explanation that resonates better or a perspective someone hasn't explored yet. Please do it! Thanks!
My two cents. I'm not a soap artist, but I do work with color as a crocheter/knitter and amateur (extremely amateur) watercolor artist: I would lighten up the main yellow just a bit-think the inside color of a lemon; keep the lavender and the inner yellow the same and add a lavender drizzle to tie together. I think that would give more a feel of Lemon-lavender that you're looking for. As for tutorials: I am not looking to start a new craft right now, but I have watched the tutorials you have done, and they are wonderful. You explain everything so well. I've watched other creators' tutorials, and they may give the "technical terms" and such, but you are so much more relatable. Do what you feel comfortable doing. Finally, I love the wallpaper on the far left. :)
I love the neutral acorns floral. It leaves you more space visually for pictures, mirrors... kid art? :D You should make teaching videos that are just what you do and just what you know. Some of us prefer you and the way you do things. It doesn't really matter if EVERYONE loves them... not everyone buys your soaps or likes your videos. I know that for me I'm a basic and totally newb at soaping and making lotions and balms. I can ONLY tell the difference in lotion which oils I used. Some are frankly more oily. In soap I agree with you, I like milk soaps for shaving, so does my boyfriend (so legs AND face) and otherwise I've had some really expensive stuff and honestly didn't like it as well as the $10 bar of milk soap from my local swap meet. LOL Teach us with what YOU do. What's the overused phrase? You do YOU boo? xoxo
1, you are an amazing soap artist! you literally sell your beautiful creations and thousands of people watch your videos, don't be disheartened! I have never once made soap but I've watched you for probably 4/5 years now just because you're so fun and lovely! watching you make soap is something I enjoy and look forward too. 2, i love the 2nd wallpaper I think it looks really elegant and clean but not too busy.
Love you Katie! you bring so much joy to those who watch you and i love how open and honest you are, don't ever change that :)
The only real thing I want to learn, is a good goat milk soap recipe that I can make the soap frosting with.
And I can understand a soap maker not wanting to share their recipes. I mean trade secrets, right?
Your soaps are very beautiful, and inspire me to get better with the craft.
Yes! I was SO HAPPY to find your tutorials. I’ve watched soap-making videos for years - stress management- and have never done it myself. After seeing yours with all the downloads and pdfs I feel I can!!! Your emphasis on budget is so very appreciated. You are about the age of my sons and my students and like so many I find you delightful and engaging. Thanks for all you do.
I'm a little late, but you should use the neutral tan one, but for every two or three strips if the neutral you put one strip of the flowery one. Or put one strip of the flowery one in the middle of each wall, and surround it with the neutral. Or put a natural one in the middle so the flowery one is offset by one width (make it the same on each wall.)
The flowery one is too dated. There natural one is too bland. But together they would POP!
The postcard one is just too choppy for a large individual space like a dining room. It would be distracting to sit in a room with all that. However, the postcard one would be great if you have a painted room and one wall is shorter than the others so that paper would be an accent.
I have never made soap and I don't see myself ever making soap,, I watch your videos because you are entertaining and knowledgeable and watching an artist create something so colourful and unpredictable as soap is fascinating. I have been watching your videos for years and I never stop them before you boop the screen , that is my favourite part. Please don't overthink what to make because you have a following of people who just love to see you at work. You don't need to change anything
I found your channel through someone else’s channel and have never looked back. Your beginners guide was excellent in my books and I still use your basic recipe. Everyone in our house love my soap! I think you did a great job and are a great teacher. I love your energy in all your videos.
As a newbie soap maker who has been searching through and watching your videos, I would love to see more tutorials from you. You have a great, bubbly personality and are fun to listen to and watch! And your soaps are gorgeous! Please keep teaching us!
I think this may be the perfect royalty soaps vid. Real talk, soap nightmare with positivity on the side, Sara and Johnny are icons, and of course all the typical satisfying soapy goodness. Thank you Katie!
Katie, other soap makers, to me, don’t go into detail about soap making like you do. I learned how to make soap from you. I watched your videos for about 2 years before I tried it. Now I am trying to master soap frosting from you.
Darling, you are a very helpful instructor! I'm preparing to launch my cosmetics business and it's all because of you and brambleberry! My husband and I love watching all of your videos. You have a unique perspective and a kind and caring voice that your audience resonates with. Keep making videos, in whatever form moves you! And don't change a thing with the lavender lemonade! (Ok, maybe a little purple drizzle on top wouldn't hurt!) Thank you for all that you do to encourage other makers! We love you Katie!
I'm 100 percent positive that the tutorials you provide would bring value to your channel and business! People would watch it just because it's YOU who made it. Plus you have a vast knowledge of what not to do in keeping us safe while making the soap where as the others may not include that in their tutorials. I'd love to see how to measure the oils because I really don't understand 30% of whatever amounts to in measurements.
I don’t even make soap, but you have taught me a lot over the last 3 years of watching you! I no longer by grocery store soap, I definitely, can tell a difference!
Personally, you’re one of the few TH-camrs I can actually listen to. You keep things light and entertaining without being over the top. I would absolutely watch your tutorials (even though I don’t even make soap! I just like watching you make it)
there could be a million tutorials, but people come to you for YOU and how you would teach it. I personally would love tutorials, especially about cleaning up afterwards. Also: The middle wallpaper looks the best in my opinion.
I love all the wallpaper options but I’d go with the 2nd one so I could put more things on the wall. It’s just neutral enough to work as a great background
Instructional videos are great! Getting advice from those with more experience always is welcome in the space! There can never be too much advice and sharing of knowledge. If it works for you, it can work for others. No harm in it except for your time.
You keep making the videos, every soap maker is different and we all take to different methods and you are so very relatable. Please don’t stop, I was very excited when I saw you had actually done it in the first place.
I love the first wallpaper option. I love your tutorials. I love your videos. I love your energy/vibe. Yeah, pretty much love it all. 🥰
I love the look of this soap! The swirl in the middle is my favorite. I think it would be pretty to have the main color as a more cream white with the yellow and purple swirled in and leave it simple with just the lavender buds on top.
I like the first wall paper choice. And your soap is lovely, as always! And as far as teaching goes, I'd love to learn from you. Each soaper, even if someone else has taught on the same thing, has something new and fresh to bring to the table, no two people are going to do things exactly the same!
The first wallpaper is the best!!! It totally fits your vibe. I wouldn't change the greenness of the yellow but I would make it lighter and add more darker yellow. Purple drizzle on top would look cute
I think the only thing you should change with the soap is more swirls. You could accomplish this by adding a softer yellow swirl, or keeping all the yellow vibrant and adding an additional purple swirl. Maybe a lighter lavender or lilac swirl. Cause I really liked the vibrant yellow but felt like the ratio was off.
I bet it smells fantastic 😍
I like the second paper. Just want to say I love your videos and tutorials, you are so knowledgeable and thorough. I watch others but always come back to yours, your energy and knowledge are like none other! Thank you for sharing with us we are lucky to have you!
1. Yes, more tutorials-because we love your personality; 2. Yes, include a ''Washing up the Dishes'' tut-I haven't come across one previously and am concerned how to neutralize the lye container; 3. Lighten up the base yellow color to look closer to real lemonade, the more intense yellow reminds me of lemon slices; 4. The middle wall paper, this allows you to change up the color scheme in the room w/o clashing with the paper. Thank you for today's video, I needed it.
I just love your complete honesty and how you are so real. I personally think you have a great way of teaching and if you feel led, then do it. My 15 year old daughter loves watching all of your videos. We watch most of them together. With your 10 plus years of experience you have a lot of knowledge to share. I can use some of that knowledge considering I began my own soap making journey in 2021. Keep up the good work!
I absolutely love your way of teaching. You explain things clearly and encourage people to want to do things the right (safe) way, but are also encouraging and positive in general which is super important when someone is learning something brand new. I think if tutorials are something you enjoy doing then you should go for it because you're a great fit for a teacher.
Katie, you've been doing soap for so many years and have shared all your experiences good and bad honestly and openly. I'd trust you and your advice and tutorials over anybody else out there.
Wallpaper... I like #2.
👍❤️👍
Okay Katie, I've been watching you since the days of your room and your parent's garage. I've watched, enjoy, and like others. BUT, I like you as well and would enjoy seeing your take on everything soapmaking. Just think about it your subscribers love you and your soap. So, in the words of another TH-camr, " Just do it and live!" Love you, lady! Whatever you decide, I'll support.
I have seen other tutorials before, but none helped me like yours did. And you have a great audience here that know you, knows your soap and we want to follow you on making soap because we like you and your soap. I don't know anyone else in the soap-making youtube-verse, I know you and I trust you and I want to follow you - that's it. Think about what key things you would have liked to have learned while you were just starting, that you would have liked to tech us now. And small things that no one tells you - like how to ensure your pigment is well mixed before putting in the soap, how to clean dishes, etc.
Absolutely do more. You're honest and trusted and have integrity. :) Your tutorials are complete and informative and super helpful.
So my example is I have been trying to learn to knit since I was 16- so over 22 years now. I tried in so many different ways, in person, online, different levels and different teachers. And now that I can knit! Woohoo. I tell people- if the way one teacher doesn't click with you, it doesn't mean you can't knit, it means to try another teacher. And another. And another. Until you find just the right one where their words and teaching style just clicks with you. Nothing can't be learned if you find the right teacher, and that's why too many teachers teaching the same thing is ok! You've taught me so much!
Katie, we like your content because YOU made it. A lot of people would love to learn soap techniques from you specifically. We obviously love your personality and soaps.
KATIE!!! YOU are the one who taught me how to make soap & I always go back to your tutorials & recipes for refresher information. Anything you add to your educational type videos will be appreciated so much. YOU are the teacher of choice! 💖 …and I like the first wall paper choice. 😊
When starting a new hobby, I've found that I can't watch enough tutorials and having a bunch from a lot of resources helps get a better understanding. You may explain something slightly differently than someone else but between the two resources, the audience gets a deeper understanding.
First I’m in the too cold area of ND, so no lavender here let alone spring temps!
For sure you should teach! Everyone has a personality & not all of us enjoy every person out there making soap, teaching techniques. Many many many ppl love you & your journey. We all can learn how to make a drizzle, make TD, how to make embeds, how to use additives in soap, it can be anything. Ppl want to know/learn through you!❤
As for wallpaper, I say middle. My logic, it goes with anything. If I picked one of the other two, I’d be afraid I’d get tired of the print. Thank you, for all you do! I appreciate you! ❤
I think when people ask for a tutorial, and granted there are thousands of other videos and channels that show the exact same thing, but when people ask someone specific for a tutorial it’s because they want to see that specific person. We want to see the exact way that you do things, which even though there is some sort of same basic way on how to do something, every single person does it differently, and that’s the beauty of it! And we just wanna see yours, you’re talented, creative, and you know what you’re doing!
I like your videos. It isn’t the tutorial I look for, cause I never plan on making soaps. Lol. I like your voice and your attitude. It’s like hanging out with a friend and listening to them talk about their favorite thing to do.
You are so fantastic and unique! Believe in yourself! You could never do a video exactly like one that already exists, because you would ad the wonderful-nes of you into them! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg. Caleb you rock!!
Lighter yellow base and brighter yellow accent without going neon.
Center wallpaper. I feel like it is more neutral style so you could change accent pieces and it would go with a lot. Could you imagine white and champagne, Christmas decorations with pops of eucalyptus green. Wow!
Oh! I like the 1st wallpaper option. Umm, maybe lightening up the main yellow just a bit more with the purple drizzle on top? And finally, I don't make soap, but you and your family and friends are so fun I'd watch you paint your house and be happy. You are absolutely qualified to teach soap making.😁
i like the sprout wallpaper the most, the other two are awesome as well but the middle acorn one feels very busy so def needs something breaking it up like that mirror. but even then i'm not sure i'd want it on too big of a wall. a lil accent one maybe.
The postcard one is also cute but more.... "rigid" botanical since postcards.
guess that's why i prefer the sprout wallpaper, can imagine it on large surfaces without feeling busy and i like the free flowy botanical design over the postcard one.
Your soap tutorials are my favorite! Not only have I made all of the soaps in the academy, but your comparison between using lye and driving made me feel like maybe I could even try to learn to drive. 😂
About the teaching thing; other people may have taught some soap making skills before, but you have a real gift for being really clear in instructions while also being super approachable. I'd much rather learn from you!
On the soap itself: I think the groovy vibe of the swirls inside clash with the demure lavender flowers on top. Perhaps a little purple swirl added to the soap frosting or a purple drizzle, and a cute lil lemon soap embed on top would look better?
I was literally thinking yesterday that I wanted more Royal Creative Academy videos, and wondering if I should comment about it on your next video. So, I guess this means I should... I watch all the other soap tutorial channels, too, but just because they're doing a good job doesn't mean that there's no space for you to join in, too. Everyone brings a different perspective on it. I say the more content for beginning soapers, the better.
Also, I love what you said about not being able to tell the difference with premium oils/butters. It makes me feel so much better for my shoestring budget soap. :)
Yes!! Thank you for commenting! It means the world to me....
You inspired me to make soaps. I have learned soooo much from you about soap making, and the way you explain things is very down to earth and builds confidence. I've watched others, and they don't hold a candle to you and your videos! I've watched bramble berry videos, but yours are better! Please add more to how to videos.
I just wanted to add it must've taken many takes when you did the Rakuten ad in your video...I was laughing at the hat changes!
Please continue to do them! I'm just starting to learn but your videos seem to be the only ones I can actually understand. I would love a starter kit if you decide to make one. 😍 thank you for all your videos !
Yes tutorial videos!!!! The ones you've done before have been so good and yes, there are a lot of videos out there, but I've never seen any other tutorial with your energy. Learning from you is just so personable
As for the wall paper, I like the 3rd one with the post card vibe, but the first one could be really nice depending on the color pallette of the other decor/furniture
The first wallpaper with the thistle is really pretty (also thistle is the national emblem of Scotland)! Also, I would add white to the purple so that the entire soap is more neutral :D
Please do more. I literally decided to pull out my supplies I bought 2 years ago, yesterday and tracked you down for the tutorials again. LOVE the way you show how to do things. I would love more academy content from you.
And the middle wall papet
First of all you really can't go wrong with what you do with the yellow. I think personally, I'd like for it to be a little softer. Oh gosh the choices on the wallpaper! They're all gorgeous. I'm leaning toward the first one but I'd love any of them. Now the important stuff about you teaching and feeling redundant. I don't think I'll ever make soap but I'd rather learn from you than to go to other sources. Of course you're good enough to teach others! I trust you and the way you get the information across. You put it in a way that's easily understandable and it never feels like you are talking down to us.
I honestly really like the colors of this soap the way they are. And that's saying a lot, cuz I'm not a big fan of yellow.
Also, you're the reason I now have a small soap business. I would LOVE more tutorial videos from you 💜
Honestly from watching your videos for about 3 years I feel like you already teach us every video u have what it takes don't doubt yourself your not unqualified your just honest and truthful
As another perfectionist I’d go for the middle wallpaper.
Being a perfectionist had nothing to do with my wallpaper choice, I just wanted you to know. - OMG I could soooo relate to what you said about the tutorial stuff.
Most def. the 1st wallpaper option - its so pretty!! & btw the yellow looks perfect!!
I really like the third wallpaper with the botanical illustrations! SO CUTE!
Katie, I just made my first batch of soap using the Royal Creative Academy! It was prefect and exactly what I needed. I would watch and use any other videos you could come up with to add to that series for sure! I think a tutorial on soap dishes is a great idea!
I think the soap could totally do well with a purple drizzle! I like the pale cream color of the frosting but something to help tie the purple in better would be cute. Lightening the main yellow or making the poured yellow a dusty green could be good too, it does feel a bit Too Yellow.
Also I think the 1st wallpaper is super duper cute and even though I don't have the space to make soap, I'd still love to watch soap tutorial vids! It's always good to have more knowledge of skills and I love the way you present things in such an easy to understand and colloquial manner
Please make any and all tutorials you want to make. I think I speak for many of us when I say that we'll watch whatever you make. I don't make soap, and I may never do, but I love learning new things and I love your energy. Whenever I need cheering up, I rewatch old videos, because there's something really delighful about you and your channel.
On the wallpaper, option 1 is my favorite for sure.
On the soap, I actually liked the colors. It reminded me of lemon curd with whipped cream, the more pigmented yellow was reminiscent of undiluted lemon curd, and the purple would still represent lavender of course.
KATIE WE LOVE YOU!!! YOUR PERSONALITY IS AMAZING AND I SO WOULD SIT THROUGH A 3 HOUR LONG SOAP TUTORIAL IF YOU ARE THE ONE TEACHING IT!
bring it down a notch 😉I appreciate your take on making affordable soaps and soap tutorials. I am partial to your videos, so will choose your tuts over others if I had a choice
Katie I adore you, your video has absolutely made my dad so much brighter. 🌞 Thank you thank you! There's only 1 you!
I just loooove the longer format videos you do. It feels like I’m chatting with an old friend. ❤
