Besides the unboxing videos, I've found the "how to use videos" that had really thick accents. Thank You for making this video so clear and easy to understand.
OMG! We are DIY twins! I weigh all my like ingredients in the same container and use those lovely pipettes for extracting the over pour also! Thanks for the video! 😀
Just bought it through your link! Sad to say a year and a half after making a product on Etsy with 30 something five star reviews… I am finally teaching myself how to formulate properly! Haha… So I realized my regular food scale was not going to work because in order to make one sample of a concoction I really needed to get into micro measurements that most food scales just do not go to. A positive note I can still keep my food scale for when I am pouring melted balm into each container.
Hi,thanks for sharing this video.I bought a JSR-200 digital scale...and in grams it reads 0.00g...my question is to measure 0.5g of liquid germal plus...will the reading be right if it reads 0.05g...or rather 0.50g.This might seem an obvious answer but just want to be sure am reading the scale right.
Thanks, Camasha! Getting into videos is fun, so far, I'm enjoying letting a bit more of me shine through than writing allows :) Let me know if there are any videos you'd like to see me make!
Marie I will take you up on that. I have saved tons of your recipes over time, thanks for them all and to be honest I have made balms, butters and kids eczema salve but not soap and I really appreciate step by step video for beginners like myself and maybe a video on how to make deodorant please. Thank you Marie
This is excactly i did 😍😍😍😍 And mostly my skin care & lotion are from ur recipe .... i think you deserved more subscriber than these ... Thanks again !!
I bought this, but some of your formulas were hard to measure, ie. on the coco coconut Simple conditioner bars 0.36 optiphen & 2.52g steric acid, I couldn’t measure, but had to change to ounces & still guess a little bit.. why is that? Is this scale not for everything or are there scales that go the extra .00 in grams?
Thank you!!! Crazy to admit - but I had no idea how to measure out my hair color cream & liquid developer. There are aspects of measuring two different types of ingredients that I didn’t understand or even consider. You answered every one of my questions perfectly. Really appreciate it. Xox 💛
Ashlynn here! Marie! It is so cool to see you here now! I can now put a voice to the face! Really great tips especially about using glass compared to the silicone cups to weigh. I measure fast and loose too with pipettes ;)
Hey Ashlynn! Thanks for finding me on TH-cam :D I just posted a video where you can put a moving face/torso to the voice-eep :P Staring at myself for hours while editing these things is making my hate my voice haha!
Are those pipettes accurate enough to use them as a measure! I bought some from Amazon that are size 1 & 3 ml. Not sure how to use them other than what you demonstrated in the video. Great idea. Thanks for sharing! Your videos are so helpful.
I assume they're reasonably accurate as far as volume measurements go, but they're still a volume measurement, which means they aren't the kind of accurate we want :) I just like 'em for easier weighing of teensy amounts! Thanks for watching & DIYing with me :)
I just bought a Ozeri Pronto digital scale. It got pretty good reviews and measures down to 1g. Though I tested it out and it seems to measure inaccurately. For example a bag of rice in a plastic bags says the net weight is 907 g, but the scale weighs it as 916 g. Should I buy a different scale to get a more accurate reading? Thx
I wouldn't treat a bag of rice as a calibration weight; I doubt a few grams makes a big difference to them, and if you're including the bag, that could easily add 9g. If you are really concerned, order a set of calibration weights :)
Hi Mary, you mentioned in the video that the scale is very inexpensive, and I just checked with Amazon, it costs $50 excluding shipping. Was it the right price? Thanks!
Hi Marie! Thankyou so much for this video... its so helpful for beginners like me... can i ask, what is the benefit of weighing liquids instead of working with ml? Also does 1g of liquid equate to 1ml?
The answer to your second question more or less answers the first one-1g of liquid is not 1mL unless you're working with water 😊 It's also WAY more precise; I can weigh out 0.35g of any liquid, but I would not feel confident in a 0.35mL measurement. Happy making!
My micro scale only has .0 for gram and not .00 Not sure how I would weight these on my scale if I can't see .15 or .12 for example. How do you get smaller #'s on your scale?
Question I’m trying to weight the 5.325 of watermelon oil from your lip scrub recipe my scale is capacity 1000g and is 0.1g graduation. However the numbers aren’t allowing to get that 5.325. Is it my scale? Thanks
Your scale simply isn't precise enough-the closest you'll be able to get is 5.3g, but that should be fine :) Have you watched my recent live stream on scales? I think you might find it helpful!
Hi, Marie. Scales are all different nowadays. Your scale is showing 1.00 for ten grams. My scale has no decimal points for grams, it just says 10g. You have a recipe for citrus body butter that calls for 32.5g of butter. On my scale, I weigh it out as 33g! That same citrus butter recipe also has measurements of 0.25g and 0.2g. I got confused and dumped the project! Can you recommend a not to expensive scale that will give me precise gramage! You see, I'm so confused that I'm making up words!
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/how-can-i-weigh-out-0-46-grams-and-other-similarly-small-precise-amounts/ 🙂 Happy making!
I just got a digital scale and would like to weigh 15 gms However it appears to be such a small amount. I'm wondering how in the heck is this amount supposed to make a face cream. Can u pls help me?
15g isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things, but it's a pretty good amount in the world of DIY skin care. Think about a tube of lip balm-that's just ~4.5g and lasts forever!
When I weigh out 10g beeswax the scale reads 10.0g, not 1.00; this scale only registers one digit after the decimal point for grams, so it's not possible for it to show 1.00g :) If you re-watch the video you'll see the decimal point is not where you seem to have seen it.
@@HumblebeeAndMe It was small on my screen, and I couldn’t see for certain where the decimal was. Thank you for letting me know because I was really confused. Ha 😌

Damn! I been using my scale all wrong. I never knew what tare was. Thank you so much. You help me a ton.
Welcome to a whole new world of scale use :) Happy making!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for this. It may be 6 yrs old but still helpful today. 😊
I'm so glad!
Thank you for the detailed explanation of this use of the tare button, kind of like the lap function on a stopwatch!
I'm so glad you found it helpful!

LOL I've definitely done the whoospy fix with the pipettes as well haha. Ooops :P

OOooh welcome to so much better weighing! ❤️
Hey Marie, Checked my email tonight and now videos ! I'm super excited. I was only using pipettes for my essentials only, thanks for the tip.

Can you do a video with a 0.5 g?? I’ve ven having trouble with that ?

Hi Mary, you mentioned in the video that the scale is very inexpensive, and I just checked with Amazon, it costs $50 excluding shipping. Was it the right price? Thanks!
No, that one is usually ~$15. If you click the link in the description box it looks to be under $14 right now.
Thanks so much Mary! I saw it! That is a different Seller this time! I will purchase it now!

TY this works in 2024 💯
Thank you
Hi Mary, this scale serves for super small amounts i mean something like neo defend, my scale don't detect small amaunts of dust
I use this scale to measure smaller amounts :) amzn.to/28Lx2kM

How would I weigh out 0.6 grams on the scale? It always says 6g instead of 0.6g

@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank You so much! I love your channel and blogs 😊💕
We don’t call them weigh boats here in the states. We called them ramekins.🤪
I believe those are technically custard cups (we call this--> amzn.to/2vhsko6 a ramekin), but it's just functioning as a weigh boat 😝

16 oz makes 1 pound…10 grams equaled to 1.00 so what is the 1.00? Ounce?
