I do a TON of shopping for soap supplies online and eBates lets you get rebates at nearly every major online retailer, including Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. I literally save money just by opening up a tab in my browser via their link. I have already received a check from them within the first month so I just thought I would let you guys know about this since we soap makers and DIYers buy so much online! Plus, it's free! Yippee! :D

Whenever Caleb and I travel, we try our best to stay in Airbnbs. It's WAY cheaper than getting hotels and are often more personalized, comfy, and unique. We literally have stayed in absolutely amazing, private homes for $35 a night! You can use the link below to get $40 travel credit when you sign up. :)

Girl, how'd you pass over "soapal"?!
Kathryn Goldberg I had to stop myself from saying it at least 15 times by accident. 😂
I came to the comments to say the same thing 😂
Said this and LOVE the comment. Soapal 😂😂😂😍
Fauxpal
Me - about to comment soapal
Also me - sees your comment
Also also me - darn it, you done beat me to that pun!😂
I see the opal, but I mostly see that yarn that everyone’s grandma/great grandma crocheted baby blankets out of in the 90s
OMG I had one of those blankies! I wonder where it went!
Twilarose77 mines on my bed, looks a bit tatty now but I still like it. It was bought in a shop but I’ve had them for long time. My mum has done huge blanket stitches to fix big tears (tehres ?tares?) that go through them. (She isn’t really into knitting or crochet.
omg i had one of those....
I see a french candy called "Arlequin" aha
Yes
This threw some far back memories at me :'0
It gives me "90s baby portrait at the mall" vibes. If you know what I mean, the background for kid's photos in like JCPenney. Very nostalgic. I love it.
Please do a silvery or black holographic glitter soap with a neon green alien embed.
Ohhhhh aaahhhhhh
I would buy that soap
I want this alien soap to happen so badly she could get some cute names for it too like "little green men" or add a few planets to it and call it "Far out" "Space case" "Beam me up" etc
Nihilism For Dummies oh my god yes please! Like a sorta 90s vibe lol
Yea
If you took sea salt and coat them in pearl, and some pastel tinted mica powders that would look like tiny opal stones.
The tea strainer needs a name.
Tim.
Teana (pronounced Tina)
This is the most 'technically explained' video I've seen. While I enjoy just watching you make soap, I find it interesting to see you explain everything. Yay!
Totally!
I would love to see a large slab soap poured using acrylic pour techniques. Like using really runny soap and layering a bunch of colors in one pitcher and pouring using a tree ring pour or something similar. I wonder what the swirl would end up looking like!
Two of my favorite stones are Snowflake Obsidian and Hematite. A hematite soap would be really cool. Dark shiny gray on the outside and matt/satin red in the middle.
id die for a lapis lazuli soap tbh
WE MUST BE ON THEORY SAME WAVE LENGTH , I LOVE THAT HLUE!! ANZ I JUST ORDERED SOME JEWELRY BEADS IN LAPIS LAZULI TO MAKE EARRINGS! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
Don't lapis stink tho
alixander rey idk man, who cares tho, rose quartz aint smell like roses but guess what we out here makin it smell like. its all Creative Liberty™️ my friend
@@0ct0pies ... Ok
@@theoziggy2071 lol... Rocks don't "stink". It's just a rock. Are you thinking of sulfur?
I hope you do an emerald soap 💚💚💚
Ooohhh yessss
Yas!
She could probably use peridot as a stand in also,
Emerald rough is inexpensive and can be easily found on line. Hope she does emerald too! Would have been great to have it ready for St. Pat's Day.
Turquoise would be a stunning one as well! The deep greens and black and gold😍😍😍
OMG I can't believe I can't stop binge watching your videos. I don't even make soap. The cut is just so satisfying.
YESS omgg
Can you make a strawberries and cream soap?!?!? That would be amazing!
Kirra Hooper O M G Y E S
gorgeous but I am waiting for lapis lazuli... my all time favorite stone and color!
Funny you should say that. I was just thinking the same.
Don’t worry, you won’t have to wait too much longer......😉
Katie I think the word you're looking for is Kawaii 😋
RWK Slattery YESSSS OMG THAT IS IT!!!!
I was repeating it to my phone! Kawaii!!! The word is Kawaii! Hahaha glad I wasn't the only one!!
It is. I love that word and it's fun to say. Kawaii!!
yesss, i knew it immediately but didnt know how to spell it😂
I was thinking chan but that was a honorific
It’s gorgeous!!! That clear quartz idea was GENIUS
I'm sorry, did you say MORE STONE SOAPS COMING 🙀 I can't wait! 😍
Those colors reminded me of the food from "Hook". I'm just watching your videos after watching Saf's video.
Yes I can see the opal look. Very pretty Katie!
I feel like we missed a perfect opportunity to call this Soapal.
Opal is my birthstone and you did a great job with a cold processed soap. I was wondering how that would work. Beautiful!
As someone who’s worked with crystals for many many years (in the metaphysical and healing aspects) I gotta say I LOVE LOVE LOVE this theme sooo much!! The quartz looks fabulous and absolutely I collect crystals!!! 💙🔮😊💎
Katie, you are a work of art. This episode was the most creative soapmaking video I’ve ever seen.
Would love to see a turquiose stone soap.
That’s my birthstone! I’m so excited😁❤️
Lønely bean 15 same!!! October babies ♥️
Mine too! They're so so pretty
Me too! Hugs to all of the October babies!
Me too!
OCTOBER BABIES!!! Oct 11th here
I think if you did Malachite for a soap that would be so pretty!!
Karlee Pruitt that would be neat to see but i’d worry about actual malachite being in the soap since it’s toxic when wet/touches something wet
Omg Yes!
Bruh yas
@@fes9698 wait what?
I... don't see the opal. BUT it's still a beautiful soap!
HOWEVER. There are different types of opal if you're interested in trying a 'sister' soap to this one: Matrix opal! It's black-based instead of white!
There are MANY types of opals, and this does look like a type of opal. Some look like this, some are much darker in color, some have more color, etc.. Opals are very very diverse!
@@fantasystaplesuwu1554 Ooooh. An opal series! That would be SUPER neat.
Ohhhh a matrix opal would be so beautiful. She could even do one of the diamond soaps like it and have little mica lines of the different colors throughout!
I just found out there is a opal called an Ethiopian Chocolate opal. That would be cool as well!
You're probably all taking about what are called "precious" opal varieties, those are the pretty looking ones with fire and color flashes and all that magical stuff. There's actually types of opals that are quite boring in appearance, they're called "common" and are quite cheap.
Matrix opals can be of any variety, what makes it a matrix opal is that the opal has formed within the cracks or pockets of the stone that was already there.
Sorry if I'm boring anyone, I'm just a bit of a nerd about this stuff, and I definitely don't want to come off as being a know-it-all 😖
The tumbled quartz was a great choice, especially after you put the blue toned sparkle on top 😍 The whole thing turned out wonderfully, definitely reminiscent of opals 💜
PS. The fun thing I did for myself today was watch this, specifically taking a break from chaos to relax with your opal soap. Keep it up girl! 💜
10:54 I didn't know crap was shimmery!
Also, the term is kawaii :3
Your cup overflows, with pink lemonade! LOL Thank you for celebrating it with us!
Wishing you absolute overwhelming success, for all to see & many blessings & mucho, mucho love!
What a wonderful example the Royalty Soaps Family is! Stay untouchable in this marvelously weird world of ours! - and cheers!
Would you ever be willing to redo this soap in melt and pour? I think it would be fun to do some gorgeous shimmery melt and pour in a bunch of colors, chop them, and set them in more melt and pour that's been made slightly frosty with mica?:)
@Royalty Soap if you ever do PLEASE do the fans a solid & call is Soapal next time!
i love the way it looks! it's like looking at a real opal and only catching some of the flashes of color. you'll never see them all at once, but you see different ones at different angles.
the glitters on top remind me of some of my favorite micas i use in non-soap crafts! i looove that translucent shift
Some of the piping low-key looked like toothpaste but I still like the soap 😂😂
Not a fan of the piping
@@tracytay7643 I didn't like it until she added the mica which is weird for me since I normal don't like the sparkly stuff at all
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw that lol
Also saw toothpaste lol
Tbh with you guys, I think her soaps are cute but I never really understood why she put piping on every single bar of soap.
Turned out way better than I expected! How could I ever doubt you? I really like it when the piping has dimension after the cut. Very opal-ly soap!
I don’t know why but I love how she announces the commercial break! 😄
Me, too!🙋🏻♀️
I always felt like folks deserved a fair warning before a commercial and I hate watching TH-cam videos and someone gets their sentence cut off for an ad. lol
@@RoyaltySoaps omg riiiiiiiiight like half the people i follow regularly get cut off midsentence
Katie I've been watching your videos for over 2 years and I've seen every one of the videos you've made during this time and lots of videos you've made prior to that time. Hands down, this is the prettiest soap I've seen. Lovely. Thank you for all that you do.
Please make a soap thats sunflower related with black pieces.... Please🌻♥️
Definitely my favorite! I see the opal. This gave me the best idea for my bakery counter top!!!
I collect stuff! Not on the major level but I'll buy stuff for colors, like I love the color yellow so I'm trying to collect yellow things. I also collect raw stones if I get the chance to have any for cheap
I got a heart omg I'm happy
Idk how close u may be to western nc but if u ever get the chance to come, stop by chimney rock. There is a beautiful little shop there where u can buy little stones at a really decent price.
@@tinacaldwell5231 I'm in Maryland so thatd be a trip for me😂 but thank you!!
There are also places you can pay go to dig up gold, gems, or diamonds. Some of them are easier to do: you can sit down and pan for gold or wash through a bucket of excavated gravel (personally, I tried to avoid the gimmicky places that added pre-polished gems from other countries into their buckets; I much prefer gems that were legitimately found in that area). Or you can go to other locations with your own pickaxe and equipment and just wail away at the ground. I ended up doing a couple of these different sites as a special outing with my outdoorsy parents when they came to visit one year. I think we went to North Carolina for those, but I know there are similar places across the U.S. Definitely an interesting adventure, and an interesting way to meet some unusual people.
These videos are so chill to watch! I love how you always explain it like we are all going to make our own versions though. Has anyone ever used one of your designs?
Gorgeous opal soapies!!🤩
I’d rather do the voice thing. I used to have a reeeally sharp memory, but middle age and the meds I take have put a huge dent in my recall ability, and after experiencing some not so nice stuff in life it’s actually pretty good to not be able to remember quite so clearly🤷🏻♀️
edit: funky grammar fix🤪
I think you honestly did an incredible job recreating opal!
Katie I love these videos because they help me go through hard times like when my granddaddy died.
Hugs sugar!
The soap tops before you put the piping on them looked so cute and almost watercolor-y. I loved it!
This was the perfect way to get opal without being able to have the iridescence! You’re so talented at colors and design!
Have you ever heard of Soapstone? It’s lovely! This soap is also beautiful!!
My birthstone!! October babies are sweet and kind and creati've! Thanks Royalty Soaps!!💎
Mine to it’s the best birthstone I think! She did an amazing job!
I'm just glad its not the "pink diamond" thing 🙄, that probably bothers me more than It should lol but 🤷♀️
As a fellow soap maker here is another option for opal soap. Make your cold process soap add a very iridescent mica. After removing it from the mold cut it up in chunks. Then place it in the mold all tumbled together. Place on top of it more mice to create your opal lines. Make at least 3 colors to each layer. You can have different fragrances or use the same one for each different color. After all the chunks have been done and are in the mold make up your last batch color with the mica and fragrance oil and while it is very loose pour over all the chunks. This upon unmolding gives a very pretty opal rock look. Love your soaps and your creativity. Happy Soaping!
My engagement ring is opal! Hoping I will be able to snag a bar!
Opal is my favorite gemstone! Love this soap, def reminds me of an opal 😃
Opals are expensive, not to mention they are not a strong enough stone for water contact. These are beautiful though, Katie! 💜💜 You did a traditional Opal very well!! I hope I can get one of these when they're released!! Btw, I collect stones and crystals!
Mimi's Weigh Of Life opals actually dry out over time if they don’t get in contact with water, so they get contained best with something damp in the container. That’s why old opals use to split and break when you try to handle them. they grow in water naturally as well
Mimi's Weigh Of Life I just read your comment again, and after that: you definitely want to contain your collection with hydration!
Agreed! Opals are VERY sensitive to temperature changes, so it would be terrible to invest in genuine opal and have to worry so much about it that it would seriously limit your creativity
That only happens to doublets or triplets but not to solid opals! Opals contain up to 7 or 8% of water, so leaving them completely dry makes them brittle!
omy girl. i love this look. so early 90s. living for it.
Could you put a melt and pour in bed in it ? Like the sticks you put in the other soaps but melt and pour so it would be transparent in the middle?
A glycerin soap could totally work for an opal
I'm loving your look today-- the yellow sweater, the high ponytails scrunchie-- so cute!!!
If we are going the birthstone route, how about a sapphire soap??
September babies forever!
Yessss!!! I’m a September baby and I would DIE OF HAPPINESS! Maybe the Duke could come back and make it ;)
What about a diamond soap with TONS of holo glitter? There should be a separate gemstone line for birthstones
yesss! i’m a september baby and that would make my lil heart soooo happy!!
I was about to say this one. It would be amazing 😍
That first bar you pulled had a cheeky half smile in it. Looked like an Amazon box. I love it!
Opals also aren't water resistant! They are my absolute favourite stones!
“That’s sparkly as crap guys!”.... god I love you!! Lol
The soap is beautiful... it really does give you the essence of opals... it’s so pretty!!
Would you ever do a southern inspired soap?
rebel flag inside and tiny natty ice cans as embeds? Can you give soap a mullet? ... (I live in texas, no offense intended, we can laugh at ourselves).
- she made a lemon sweet tea soap once 🍹🍋
@@theholytoast I literally LOLed at the idea of a soap mullet. (South Carolina here)
Regional soaps is an interesting concept for sure.
I would love another Sweet tea soap.
I still have this beautiful soap in my spare bathroom. It’s so pretty and gets compliments all the time. One of my favorites from all year.
If you make it again I REALLY loved the way the bottom part mixed more but it’s beautiful anyway ❤️
I love it. I totally see the opal, the crooked mica gold made all the difference.
This is a super cute soap! It really reminds me of the Japanese yumekawaii (dreamy-cute) fashion/aesthetic
Love it another amazing soap.
I am still an advid collector , I collect skulls, rocks , trinkets , and most importantly merch from my favorite TH-camrs. I love my soap order, they are on display in my curio cabinet to be admired. It was perfect definitely will order agian.
Fresh water pearls would be a beautiful soap...
I think this is my favorite soap you've ever done! Even through all the lovely themes you've done, i LOVE this!
This reminds me of how Steven universe rendered opal!
i was thinking of steven universe the whole time!
YESSSsssss!
That top gold mica line really made me think you could do a beautiful turquoise soap. I hope that's one you have lined up! And I totally see the opal inspiration.
Honestly I was a little underwelmed by this one. I think it could have been improved by having a little more color "veins" swirled in to mimic the color play of an opal. As is, it kinda just looks like a regular pastel themed soap.
A moonstone would have made a good topper! They are reasonably priced I think.
Needed more pale blue, I think, for that true opal look.
This 80's dork look you've been pulling off >>>>>>>>>>>>> 💖👾
The Japanese word you were looking for is probably "kawaii".
Also, I don't really see the opal, but that's because I see Arlequin candy instead. Is it a thing in the US? I'm from France. The pastel piping with the colors looks JUST like this candy. XD
I'm french too and I definitely see it too, especialy in the piping 😋.
I can't even tell you how lovely your stone soaps are..... I LOVE THEM!
OMG OPAL SOAP!!!!! I LOVE opal. Oh man I can't wait for the soap launch!!!
Edit ** YOUVE OUT DONE YOURSELF KATIE!!! Your design is so creative and SPOT ON. All your choice from the sparkle to the clear quartz is just GENIUS!!
another edit * ITS THE SAME SCENT AS GLITTERATI?!?!?! 100%%% YAAAASSSSS
I unfortunately suffer from anxiety and I must say, watching your videos puts me in such a good mood. It definitely helps with my anxiety even if it's only for like 20 mins, it makes a difference so thank you! Also, LOVE this soap. 👌👌👌
Ooh I may order my first Royalty Soap this is my birth stone hope you send to Scotland 🏴🏴
Icy Shine is my favourite fragrance ever! It is SOOOO freaking good! I can’t wait to pick one of these delicious beauts up!! 😍
Will you be doing a rainbow soap for pride month?
Yes, love, collectors still exist! I collect stones, unicorns, and quite a bit of pokemon memorabilia. I totally see the opal and it looks amazing, but best of all you just gave me the greatest technique for my new unicorn soap! Thank you!! Blessed be!
I do collect something! I don’t know if some people would say it counts or not, but I collect LEGO minifigures!
I think you did a fantastic job of representing an opal. These soaps are so beautiful!!! 😍😍😍
Hello notifications squad
I love the opal soap, and yes, I can see the similarity. As for collecting, I have been collecting crystals and gemstones for the past 20 years. I do not have a large collection, but I do have ones that resonate with me such as rose quartz, amethyst, fluorite, and lapis lazuli to name a few.
Hi Katie! I collect PEZ candy dispensers : )) Lovely video as always
Hi Katie, you captured the Opal essence beautifully! Well done.
you should do a birth stone collection, my birth stone is peridot what's everyone elses?😁
I'm a diamond baby. My middle name is diamond lol
Mine is peridot, too. So pale and boring.I’d like amethyst or blue sapphire or garnet. My birthday is on Monday. Happy birthday to you, too, August baby.
@@loiscassels8966 thanks dude happy birthday
Gorgeous! Just an idea--fire opal and black opals have deeper colored bases that might lend themselves to cold processed soaps! There are even blue opals with a big teal sheen but a very deep color! Maybe a few pole imbeds cut into flecks of different colors and a ton of shine on top, like you've done here, with clear quartz or obsidian on top? All in all a brilliant thought, you should be very pleased with the results you achieved!
Of course we see the Opal! It was gorgeous Katie! ❤️ Ohh poor Katie... are you at that stage where it’s a luxury to go to the toilet on your own?! I remember talking to my mum as an adult, and she said I used to drive her crazy by following her everywhere. But then she missed that as I grew up. Sometimes the things that drive you crazy, is the things you miss when they grow up and move out.... or maybe not. Lol 😂
This is such a beautiful design it’s perfect for opal I think it’s probably my favourite soap you’ve done
I’m actually early!! I’ve never clicked so fast❤️❤️
Beautiful soap!! I've been collecting key rings since I was a kid. You can get them everywhere and they don't take up a lot of space!!
You missed a perfect opportunity to say "opal soapal"... 😂
Fire opals are my absolute favorite stone ever, and you totally captured the look. If you ever decide to make this one again, I will totally buy a few bars
Soapals.
The soap looks fantastic! That glitter on top is one of the most beautiful tones you've ever used!
"nobody wants to pay 200 dollars for a soap"
bish bet.
That mica line is amazing! Such a beautiful soap.
Katie looks so cute in her lil sweater and her scrunchie. I love it.
Hey Katie I hope you see this comment. I was using your beautiful opal soap today and I noticed that there was a thin line of glycerin river at the top. I really liked it and I think they would look awesome throughout the soap. I think it would really add to the design if you ever made this one again. Keep of the wonderful work!
I see it! And the mica add was perfect! What a great idea! It’s just a beautiful soap! I LOVE pastels so it made me happy!
Lovely soap Katie! I bought an opal ring with my Xmas money this year, we visited my son who's recently moved to South Australia, the capital of opal mining in Australia. I also managed to find some miniature cups and saucers that I have been collecting since I was 11. A very good holiday, my husband and I love going to second hand stores, looking for treasures!
