Don’t worry about those few party poopers. There are way more of us who love you for you. Make up or not. Intro or no intro. Makes me sad you’re feeling pressured 😭 But there’s always going to be buttheads out there. So just be your amazing self! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Apparently those people who are hating don't realize acne is much more then personal hygiene and soap products...it's sometimes stress, and that time of the month, and sometimes it's different things. They need to quit judging and see the amazing, beautiful person you are! Keep doing what you do!
I think you should name the new cutter Raymond! That’s the name of the lightening bug/Fire fly in the Princess and the Frog. His loves name is Evangeline!!!
I purposely watch your videos with my girls because sometimes you wear a full face of make up with your hair done, and sometimes you don’t. I do the same thing in my own life and I think it’s an important message to send to my kids. Sometimes mommy wears make up, and sometimes she doesn’t, depending on her mood. If mommy wears make up, it’s because it’s fun and she feels like it... not because she has to. Rock on Mama!
I’ve watched every single video you’ve made up until this point. If you went back to your old set up at your parents house, I would still watch. I watch for YOU and your soap. Not the stuff on you, or around you, or whatever. You feel like a friend, not an influencer and I love that about you and your channel. Keep on keepin’ it real girl! It is honestly SO refreshing to see! 🙌🏼
I would loooove a zodiac inspired "series", and they would be so good for birthday gifts if sold in accordance with the signs! If you were to make this, maybe make them by season? and not necessarily as many as you usually do, but a bit more limited? but yeah like pisces, aries and taurus in the spring, gemini, cancer and leo for summer, virgo, libra and scorpio for fall, and saggitarius, capricorn and aquarius for winter... idk, a series on the zodiacs would be really cool to see, I wonder what designs you would come up with
Katie you're gorgeous no matter what at least for me I'm here because i love your personality and find you a bubbly awesome person thats been super inspiring to me we or at least i dont care what you look like you're a beautiful person on the inside and outside who makes amazing videos that you clearly love and care about and its amazing
I really honestly love that your intros aren’t fake and rehearsed y’know?? It makes me feel like I know you and we’re hanging out!! Don’t feel pressured to do anything in particular we love u
1. I’m glad you are feeling better 2. It is a relief to see someone who sits in from of the camera a looks real. 3. People need to remember that this is a soap channel. You aren’t jefree star or nikki tutorials and you shouldn’t feel like you need to be. 4. Some people only feel good when they are knocking others down. Their flaw isn’t your responsibility. 5. You are forever my soap fairy godmother, and I’m not alone in that feeling. 10 times more of us love you. Hugs 🤗
I know I’m a year late; I’ve been watching your’s and Kenny’s videos as a newbie for a week now. I’m over 60 years old and maybe age allows me to appreciate the people rather than the trappings (lights, music, edits, makeup, etc). I find you, and the family I’ve been introduced to, completely delightful. I enjoy your personalities and find your joyous enthusiasms uplifting and inspiring. I don’t want to get mushy so I’ll quote a favorite YT personality: You do you, Boo Boo. And for the haters: There’s the door, don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. Edit: Gonna go make me some waffles now!
SOAP FAIRY SQUAD = *the best autumnal smell in the next letter you open* Do people still send each other letters? I hope that's still a thing.....ANYWAY, thanks for putting up with my acne woman/crazy mother/full time business owner/housekeeper/inconsistent little self right now. Your patience means a lot to me and the people who are kind and caring just make my day! xoxoxo *EDIT* The kindness that has already poured in has just encouraged me to feel super comfortable with myself and I can't thank you guys enough for being so supportive!
I know you didn't ask but I like the intro like in this video. I'm 36 and have suffered from acne like yours since I was 12, so I get it. But you do whatever kind of intros you want, I'm here for all of them 😊❤️
I think this was your best intro ever!!! Thank you for being you. Ignore the haters and keep growing, you inspire and touch so many people via your social media. Keep Shining 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I still send letters! I love calligraphy and handwriting, so writing letters and decorating envelopes is right up my alley. :) Edit: A heart from the Duchess of Suds herself! My day has been made!
@Royalty Soaps there wasn't an ad on your "quick commercial vbreak"?!?! Just wondering if either maybe you forgot to monetize, or something happened, but either way I thought you should know!! Get that adsense girl!
As someone who struggles with acne, I absolutely love seeing youtubers be real and be on camera, zits and all! We love you Katie, dont feel like you have to perform for us! :)
"My goal in life is to be one of those people who are just light. You see them and you feel so warm inside that you just want to hug them. They look at you with the warmest light and you just love them. Not in a romantic way but in a way where you hope some of their light transfers to you." That is a quote I found online years ago. It applies to you. You are a true beauty! Your kindness and joy clearly shines through. I feel pity for the person who judges and spews hate based on a few marks as it makes them look small and ignorant. You are light and I adore your videos.
I personally LOVE the fact that you do your videos without sugar coating regular life with kids! This is how I woke up looking , and this is what you get lol
I prefer the intro that are natural because it feels like we are just having a chat. The people that give you that kind of comments do not have your confidence
I love your informal intros! Who cares about makeup/lighting/background? Not me! I love your genuine self, and I love hearing about your business. You are so awesome and have accomplished so much! If you ever feel like you need to take time off from the videos or that you want to upload less/not on a set schedule, know that we (your loyal fans) will continue to support you no matter what :)
An apple orchard soap would be awesome! The warm scent of apples is one of my favorite parts of fall. Along with all the apple dumplings, apple crisps, etc...
A minute and 40 in and I had to pause to comment. Maybe it’s just me but I prefer the intro LIKE THIS. Quite frankly last months videos, every intro was more forced and not the good ole Katie I subscribed for. I love the soap, but I enjoy YOUR personality and authentication more Katie... Back to video. ☺️
By coincidence, that's exactly where I stopped it too! And also because I was annoyed that she's getting so many complaints. This is her channel. She doesn't have to share these videos with us; she'd probably do just fine just selling soap. I think it's a privilege to be allowed into someone's studio to see what they do and how they do it.
Dearest Katie, your an awesome wee young lady with a big heart and lovable nature...Never apologise for having acne, spots or whatever, your true followers simply, don’t care......Some people can be ever so cruel, no matter what you do, or how you look, just ignore them, Continue to be you, don’t change for anyone,and your soap vids are amazing....Whenever you have the time to share your amazing creations, in between your busy private life, your genuine fans, appreciate all you do......Thankyou for sharing.....x x
Omg I love watching you make this soap , you clearly know what you are doing so , you do what you do and let the rest go . Big hugs for youl. Ps I'm so glad I subscribed to your show because I didn't have the intrernet for awhile , I didn't miss a show lthank you .
I love that you keep it real. No make up, daggy back grounds etc. When things seem too perfect, they usually are cos they are 'put-ons' for the camera. The way you keep it real is one of the reasons I watch your videos. Please remember that for every 'hater' there are 100's of 'lovers' of your videos. If peeps dont like what they 'see' they should scroll on by and learn to keep their mouths shut because at the end of the day your soaps are what matter and they are amazing. All the other stuff is just cosmetic. Take it all away and your still left with your amazing soaps. Keep doing what your doing Katie. You are so generous with your information. To me your gorgeous NO MATTER WHAT your wearing, or whether you have make up on, or if your hair is done. I dont understand people that think its ok to bully others. To me it shows me alot about them. I see to all to often on YT videos these days where people are apologising if this or that offends their viewers when really its the viewers that need to pull their heads in. LOVE YOU KATIE. Never stop being you. You are fricken AWESOME❣❣
You are a beautiful human being, and don't ever let anyone make you feel otherwise. You are brave and bold enough to open your life to an untold number of complete strangers, and you are an inspiration to everyone. Your inner light shines so clearly and brightly -- please remember always that there are so many of us who cherish and appreciate that light.
I'm so glad that you're doing the videos/intros the way you want. It is your channel after all. I know that I love seeing creators in their natural settings, just being able to be themselves, not trying to put up a front, being able to show us their true selves.
Girl, YOU be YOU! I have always admired and appreciated how you don't feel the need to "perform" in front of the camera. To be honest, I believe your sincerity is one of the reasons people watch you! If there are folks who can't or don't appreciate your desire to focus more on making a high-quality soap instead of conforming to society's need for everyone to look perfect in front of the camera, then they just don't understand why you make soap in the first place. Much love to you from Indiana!
You should make a soap called “ you do you boo!” Make it ur favorite colors and just amazing! And don’t worry about the trolls! Also a troll soap would be cool too 🤗
Girl, we’re here for the soap. Your amazing personality is a super fantastic bonus. Makeup or not, you’re gorgeous. And I love your honesty and transparency.
Do it girl. No one is perfect and we need to stop pretending and just be real. You’re not a movie star, and even they’re pretending. You’re a real girl with a real life and real deficiencies, just like the rest of us. Love your personality and your soaps ❤️
I know this is old but i love you for this intro. Im working on my own soap biz (golden zebra) and I want to make my own channel and my fear was my own acne. Thank you for your courage despite what ppl say. You are moving others to be brave whether you know it or not. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so cool and so authentic that it’s always a pleasure to see the notification of a new video, I don’t care if it’s Wednesday or Saturday or any other week. I truly appreciate your uniqueness, continue what you are doing!
Katie, I have to tell you what I love about you is your fearlessness to put yourself out there. You are a very pretty young lady with your big blue eyes. Every small business person gets stressed and exhausted at times, and then add in a toddler! I'm impressed with how you keep going, keep doing intros as you are. You are always yourself, your lovable self. As for the haters, they are their own punishment. Big hug, Sherri in Minnesota
I’ve been watching you from the beginning, Katie. I have to say that I didn’t fall in love with your channel because of your background, your hair, your makeup, or how clear your skin is. I love this channel because of YOU. Your personality, your kindness, and your humor. Anyone watching you can tell that you’re a genuine person. Who we see on screen is who you really are even when the camera is off. If people don’t like who you are, they don’t have to be here. You’re here to make soap and share your creativity with us, not to win the TH-cam beauty pageant. No one is happy and bubbly all the time. We’re all human. We have bad days, we get tired. If you don’t feel like piling makeup on your face for a 5 minute intro/outro, then don’t do it. Ignore the hateful people and focus on those of us that love you for you.
Honestly I appreciate this so much. I recently started going to work without makeup (5am ain't nobody got time for that) and I get so many more people telling me I look tired or asking if I'm sick. Jokes on them, I can rub my eyes and I'm super comfortable so 🤷♀️ do what makes you comfortable. I'll keep watching no matter what you do to your face❤
Your soap came out great despite the darkening! The piping and embeds were perfect. I’m not surprised it darkened so much. I soaped that fragrance a month ago and it was a disaster. 😩 I kept the batter very fluid to use in squeeze bottles and long story short, it seized. Had to cram in a mold. I used a vanilla color stabilizer for CP soap, at a 1:1 ratio since the FO has such a high % of vanilla. I think that was my mistake. The soap had pools of oil on top that took a week to absorb into the soap. At least it was a small batch. Glad to see you didn’t have any difficulties with the fragrance aside from the soap darkening up. Still works since it’s a Fall soap. 🎃
I actually felt a bit angry that someone would be so horrible as to be mean or insensitive about something about a persons personal appearance!! Katie... you are lovely, you have thousands upon thousands of people that adore you... for so many reasons! You are an incredible business woman that has grown as an individual, and as a company...(which IS stressful) you are so creative, so giving, trusting, and kind! Not to mention, you are running after that lil Princess Lily... juggling being a great mother... being a good and loving wife, a loyal, generous and caring sister... a wonderful daughter and friend!!! So M'Lady... The Duchess of Suds... you are all of these things and that is REAL beauty! Just be you! There is nothing you can do about the haters... because haters are gonna hate! Focus on the love! And you Katie Carson are beautiful!
I love when you don't do hair and makeup etc, I see so much of it on YT it's refreshing to watch someone who is comfortable with herself enough to do so. I also love when you do get dressed up etc, because you are a beautiful girl. I'll take you either way, because at the end of the day it's about the soap not about weather you combed your hair or not.
People are Asshats.. just be you and do what makes you happy. Its the best way to live life and we enjoy you as you are! ( I'm struggling with adult acne/rocesea and get comments too.. I feel your pain.. stay strong. Chin up! )
Katie, I gotta say, one of the things that drew me into your videos was that I clicked on it and you were just you. Your hair was in a messy ponytail (back when your hair was long) like mine always is. You didn't have makeup on. I could see your acne. You were you and you were beautiful. You made me feel okay to do the same thing. I'm not more drawn to your videos with makeup or without - because hey! Sometimes it is fun to get jazzed up. I'm drawn to them for your silly voices and your creative soaps. YOU inspired me to make my own soap two weeks ago because I have a coconut allergy and can't buy your awesome soaps! It didn't turn out the way I planned, but your videos have also taught me to go with the flow and it's still a great bar of soap (or I think it will be after it's done curing). Keep being you because that's the way I like it. I almost never comment on any videos, but I had to add to the positivity in the comment section.
I think I can speak for many of your subscribers when I say that we watch your videos for your amazing soap creations and your sparkling personality. Lilly is ALWAYS a fabulous bonus. People that judge others obviously have some deep rooted problems with themselves. You my dear are amazing. I don't even have a place in my tiny apartment to make soap and I can't afford to buy your soap. But watching your videos makes me feel good. Twice a week there is a light that shines through the hard times and depression. Thank you so much.
I have never commented on a video before but felt the need to do so on this one. You have taught me so much and I am forever grateful. I don't tune in to see what your make up looks like, what clothes you are wearing or for the perfect back ground setting. I watch your videos for your sparkling personality. Please don't let the negative people get to you. They are either so miserable that all they want is for others to feel the same way or if all they have to complain about is someone's appearance, I'd say their worries are little and they need to stress more about being kind rather than causing others pain. We all have days when we don't either have time or care to have the perfect hair and make up. So it's nice to see you being you. If you're in the mood to style it up for a video, that's fine and if you're in the mood to go natural that's fine too....just be you.
You are gorgeous without makeup gurl!! You have no clue how many of us are HUGE FANS regardless of your appearance! Your soap making skills, creativity, and BOMB PERSONALITY are what we are here for! MUCH LOVE!!!
Katie if you're up for shakin' the haters, please please please keep sharing your love of soap with us, with or without getting all gussied up. Seeing your beautiful make-up free face as you casually share your passion with us, gives confidence to every one of us that feel we need to hide our blemishes. You are enormously talented and enormously beautiful.
I love that you keep it real. Forget those haters. I find it refreshing to see a real person not a fake persona. That’s why I love your videos, because your commentary is legit.
I personally love that you have acne and still get on camera without covering it up. I struggle with acne and despise makeup, and when I'm having a really bad breakout, I feel extremely insecure.. You're the first person I've seen that has been brave enough to show that, and it really helped me feel more comfortable and confident with my own skin.. I'm really sorry that people have been so rude to you about it, I know how much it can hurt, especially when it's something that you have little to no control over. You're extremely pretty, acne and messy hair and all. Thank you for being so unapologetically you.
I’ve been watching your videos for about 6-8 months now. I fell in love with the way you explain everything and a absolute natural on camera. Just an average mom/ human making videos to show others your creativity and passion. I would love to continue seeing you be you and not being the you others want to see.
I love that your hair isn’t always picture perfect, or that you chose not to cover your acne with makeup. If more people would do that, we would be a lot more used to see humans in every form.
One of the reasons I kept watching was because you are real. With your quirckyness and all. Never feel the need to he anyone other than yourself. As long as you're comfortable and confident, your true fans, viewers and customers will keep supporting you.
I’m so sorry people are so judgmental, and ugly. You have two full time jobs. Usually the judgers judge the successful people, over anything and although there wrong and inspire of there comments. You are doing a great job pulling everything together for us. So don’t let them gloom your days and did encouraged you because there are more of us that support you. ❣️
Katie I think that you were a beautiful girl before you got married and had a wonderful baby and I think that you glow and are even more beautiful now after. I would rather you not have to put on the makeup if you don't want to. I am a seasoned woman and am graying at the temples, my eyebrows need serious attention according to my friends and my hair needs to be dyed but I just don't want to and if anyone loves me then it will be for me not for the way I look. So I just want to tell you that I Love you just the way you are.
Katie Carson!! You are so unmistakably perfect just the way you are, which is the way God made you! Your heart and soul make you genuinely beautiful! You’re such an inspiration to so many people, and your make up and hair are not prerequisites for inspiring others to be better soapers and better people. For several years, I have shown your videos in my classroom as a reward occasionally, and my high school seniors love, love, love you. You’re my hero, too! Don’t be distracted by criticism... The only taste of success those folks will ever experience is by taking a bite out of you! There are so many nay-sayers and run-of-the-mill weirdos who will so often post negative comments only because they have nothing worthwhile to say or contribute. They live their pathetic small lives in a negative world, full of cynicism, condemnation, and carping. Usually, without a personality to speak of, they are quite unemployable and due to their inability to work tactfully with others, which affords them lots of time to troll others online. Aristotle once remarked, To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing. Katie, God made you, and he fashioned you flawlessly. I know you believe in Him and His word. God does not make mistakes, and you are glorious just as he intended. Please don’t let these malicious, ugly commenters draw you into their disgusting world. You are so much better than that!!! An exemplary young lady of your caliber, however, will likely: *** Kill them with success, and bury them with a smile! *** God bless and comfort you, Katie, Caleb, and Lily (your mom and Polly Anna, as well).
I like you as is, im here for the art. This is all aboot the soap. These videos are relaxing to me. I have a medically intensive child and sometimes I cant sleep at night and these videos are so positive and relaxing it calms me enough to sleep. Your hair and makeup are so unimportant because im here for the lady with a passion for soap.
Part of standing out in the competitive business world is to provide your customers something different. What sets you apart from the rest of the soap makers is that you keep it real. Your energy and the information you provide as you are making the soaps. That's what makes you different from other's, don't lose your touch. You are one of the best soap makes in my opinion. Don't get discourage.
I’ve suffered adult cystic acne for a decade. Doesn’t matter WHAT you use on your face, it’s gonna come when it wants to. Sure, somethings (usually fragrances) can irritate acne, but usually it’ll take actual medication to clear up. Don’t let people bring you down. You’re beautiful inside and out. 💕
You and I are similar age, I felt like it wasn’t normal to get acne at 24, but adult acne is a thing and hormonal breakouts happen. You are gorgeous inside and out and people will think what they’re going to think, but that’s their problem, they’re wasting their time and energy on negativity. You are amazing and strong ❤️
Life happens it's not always rainbows, unicorns and sunshine... thank you for being your authentic self with the intro( long or not🙏❤) The color is just PHENOMENAL
You’re HUMAN. Those of us who appreciate the time, effort, love, care and time to do what you do don’t really mind you being the honest you. Much love Katie, Caleb and of course Lilly!!!
I know this is an old video so you probably won't see this, but that intro. It's horrible to think people have commented that sort of thing, and it sucks when you feel pressured to look or act a certain way. Honestly the first few videos of yours I ever watched, I was really surprised to see you didn't have visible makeup and looked more, well, natural. It's not something I see often on TH-cam anymore. It was so refreshing to see a successful woman making videos without getting all 'dolled up' for the camera and such, it's one of the things that made me click another of your videos in the beginning. And also your authentic bubbly personality, you just seem so *real* in your videos, it doesn't feel like you are faking or trying to be all serious and I love that so much.
Look at all this LOVE for you Katie............. concentrate on THAT!!! I literally just laugh at negativity now. I believe we have to go through it, it makes us stronger.
I love natural, crazy, mama Katie! I love that you're honest about how life is and how sometimes you dont feel like wearing makeup and doing your hair to talk to us. And I feel like you shouldnt have to! We should support you through it all and if someone does t like that they can go away and watch someone else.
The unkindness of people sometimes gets me down, but there are so many more nice folks it gets me through. I have grandchildren older than you, so I'm old, but you are a breath of fresh air, and you teach this old dog new tricks all the time! I think you are so special. Don't change anything, ever. You are real, and that's what people want. Really. You are an artist and fun and especially unique!
Wow, never let anyone kill your vibe! You are my favorite person to watch and I could care less what you have on. You are one of the sweetest and real people I've come across on TH-cam. Please, please, please do not let people make you rethink what you "should or shouldn't" do.
Having acne just means that you're young! I used to be young and have acne -- I wish I could go back in time and tell myself that acne is a small price to pay for being healthy and energetic and full of enthusiasm and great ideas. Always be yourself in your videos, however you feel each day. We're here to appreciate your beautiful, artistic craft! Can't wait to watch you try a new technique!
I love you no matter what!!! Film in your pajamas if you want!! Trolls are horrible people who like to bully from behind their screen. You so whatever you want to do, and we’ll be here for you.
Personally, I love your authenticity. I don't think you should change anything about how you present yourself to your fans. Boo to soapy snobs!! We love you Katie!!! Your videos are my go-to when I need a break at work, your soaps are so beautiful, and you come up with such cool ideas!
Hey Katie ... You rock. I personally think you are incredibly brave to be so honest about your acne and I actually really rate that you make videos without a full face of make up. Does this impact on the quality of your soap or designs? Hell no! So haters ... Bug out, get a life. Open your mind and use your brain. Go Katie, go Katie ❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy to see that you are not going to worry about what anyone comments. I would rather see you being honest and showing what real life is like than what people think you should look, act or project a certain way. Life is messy and complicated! Love you and keep up the fantastic job!!
Plz sit in front of the camera looking however you might be looking that day to do your intro and outros. Its why I feel like we're friends. Keep it up. Lol you'll prob never see this comment but felt the need to say it
Just watching this vid for first time. Absolutely love that your true to you. Bravo for not allowing/choosing not to let others dictate/pressure you to do what you in your heart you know is wrong!!! Be true to you!!!
Don’t worry about those few party poopers. There are way more of us who love you for you. Make up or not. Intro or no intro. Makes me sad you’re feeling pressured 😭 But there’s always going to be buttheads out there. So just be your amazing self!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
OPHELIA SOAPERY!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR SOAPS
I agree soooooo much
Ophelia's Soapery said it... I agree with her. Keep doing what makes you happy. I will keep watching.
Apparently those people who are hating don't realize acne is much more then personal hygiene and soap products...it's sometimes stress, and that time of the month, and sometimes it's different things. They need to quit judging and see the amazing, beautiful person you are! Keep doing what you do!
Exactly! I’ve noticed that around “that time of the month” like a week before my skin acts up.
I think you should name the new cutter Raymond! That’s the name of the lightening bug/Fire fly in the Princess and the Frog. His loves name is Evangeline!!!
Melody Wrotny that's so clever!
Yes I agree thats amazing
Perfect!!
Melody Wrotny I hope she sees this!!
YEESSSSS!!!!!!!
You do you girl! Dont ever worry what others say. You have such a bubbly personality and you are beautiful!
I purposely watch your videos with my girls because sometimes you wear a full face of make up with your hair done, and sometimes you don’t. I do the same thing in my own life and I think it’s an important message to send to my kids. Sometimes mommy wears make up, and sometimes she doesn’t, depending on her mood. If mommy wears make up, it’s because it’s fun and she feels like it... not because she has to. Rock on Mama!
This is a very important message for our daughters. Great job to you and all of the real Mom's in the world!
I’ve watched every single video you’ve made up until this point. If you went back to your old set up at your parents house, I would still watch. I watch for YOU and your soap. Not the stuff on you, or around you, or whatever. You feel like a friend, not an influencer and I love that about you and your channel. Keep on keepin’ it real girl! It is honestly SO refreshing to see! 🙌🏼
I agree completely!
👏👏👏👏👏👏 amen

I would loooove a zodiac inspired "series", and they would be so good for birthday gifts if sold in accordance with the signs! If you were to make this, maybe make them by season? and not necessarily as many as you usually do, but a bit more limited? but yeah like pisces, aries and taurus in the spring, gemini, cancer and leo for summer, virgo, libra and scorpio for fall, and saggitarius, capricorn and aquarius for winter... idk, a series on the zodiacs would be really cool to see, I wonder what designs you would come up with
Great idea!!
YASS!
As someone with acne issues who feels as if I NEED makeup to even go out, you inspire me!
Katie you're gorgeous no matter what
at least for me I'm here because i love your personality and find you a bubbly awesome person thats been super inspiring to me
we or at least i dont care what you look like
you're a beautiful person on the inside and outside who makes amazing videos that you clearly love and care about and its amazing
Earnesto!!!! Works on several levels. 😂
Liv Nemier isn’t it lik 2table sppons

I really honestly love that your intros aren’t fake and rehearsed y’know?? It makes me feel like I know you and we’re hanging out!! Don’t feel pressured to do anything in particular we love u
1. I’m glad you are feeling better
2. It is a relief to see someone who sits in from of the camera a looks real.
3. People need to remember that this is a soap channel. You aren’t jefree star or nikki tutorials and you shouldn’t feel like you need to be.
4. Some people only feel good when they are knocking others down. Their flaw isn’t your responsibility.
5. You are forever my soap fairy godmother, and I’m not alone in that feeling. 10 times more of us love you. Hugs 🤗
I know I’m a year late; I’ve been watching your’s and Kenny’s videos as a newbie for a week now. I’m over 60 years old and maybe age allows me to appreciate the people rather than the trappings (lights, music, edits, makeup, etc). I find you, and the family I’ve been introduced to, completely delightful. I enjoy your personalities and find your joyous enthusiasms uplifting and inspiring. I don’t want to get mushy so I’ll quote a favorite YT personality: You do you, Boo Boo. And for the haters: There’s the door, don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
Edit: Gonna go make me some waffles now!
SOAP FAIRY SQUAD = *the best autumnal smell in the next letter you open*
Do people still send each other letters? I hope that's still a thing.....ANYWAY, thanks for putting up with my acne woman/crazy mother/full time business owner/housekeeper/inconsistent little self right now. Your patience means a lot to me and the people who are kind and caring just make my day! xoxoxo
*EDIT* The kindness that has already poured in has just encouraged me to feel super comfortable with myself and I can't thank you guys enough for being so supportive!
We love you and ur talent Katie. I would never want you to be anything else. Have a great day!
I know you didn't ask but I like the intro like in this video. I'm 36 and have suffered from acne like yours since I was 12, so I get it. But you do whatever kind of intros you want, I'm here for all of them 😊❤️
I think this was your best intro ever!!! Thank you for being you. Ignore the haters and keep growing, you inspire and touch so many people via your social media. Keep Shining 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I still send letters! I love calligraphy and handwriting, so writing letters and decorating envelopes is right up my alley. :)
Edit: A heart from the Duchess of Suds herself! My day has been made!
@Royalty Soaps there wasn't an ad on your "quick commercial vbreak"?!?! Just wondering if either maybe you forgot to monetize, or something happened, but either way I thought you should know!! Get that adsense girl!
Katie I am so happy you decided just to be genuine with your videos. I love you the way you are! It makes you so much more relatable.
Sweetheart, you show your face however you want to. You make intros or outros or notros. Do you darling!! I'm sending a hug 😊❤️
As someone who struggles with acne, I absolutely love seeing youtubers be real and be on camera, zits and all! We love you Katie, dont feel like you have to perform for us! :)
"My goal in life is to be one of those people who are just light. You see them and you feel so warm inside that you just want to hug them. They look at you with the warmest light and you just love them. Not in a romantic way but in a way where you hope some of their light transfers to you." That is a quote I found online years ago. It applies to you. You are a true beauty! Your kindness and joy clearly shines through. I feel pity for the person who judges and spews hate based on a few marks as it makes them look small and ignorant. You are light and I adore your videos.
I think if I met Katie I would have to give her a hug.
❤️❤️
This is so true!
I personally LOVE the fact that you do your videos without sugar coating regular life with kids! This is how I woke up looking , and this is what you get lol
I prefer the intro that are natural because it feels like we are just having a chat. The people that give you that kind of comments do not have your confidence
Please do a ladybug soap i really want that scent jk i would just love the look of it i think it would smell like flowers
I love your informal intros! Who cares about makeup/lighting/background? Not me! I love your genuine self, and I love hearing about your business. You are so awesome and have accomplished so much!
If you ever feel like you need to take time off from the videos or that you want to upload less/not on a set schedule, know that we (your loyal fans) will continue to support you no matter what :)
🙌💯
I'm so sorry that people would say such rude things to you! God has blessed you with a special gift and vibrant personality. Continue to be yourself !
An apple orchard soap would be awesome! The warm scent of apples is one of my favorite parts of fall. Along with all the apple dumplings, apple crisps, etc...
This! This! This!
OMG kind of Apple cinnamon pie ish flavour??
The refreshing honesty and self-esteem in this video is giving me life.
A minute and 40 in and I had to pause to comment. Maybe it’s just me but I prefer the intro LIKE THIS. Quite frankly last months videos, every intro was more forced and not the good ole Katie I subscribed for. I love the soap, but I enjoy YOUR personality and authentication more Katie... Back to video. ☺️
Basic Forever me too
Same!!!
By coincidence, that's exactly where I stopped it too! And also because I was annoyed that she's getting so many complaints.
This is her channel. She doesn't have to share these videos with us; she'd probably do just fine just selling soap. I think it's a privilege to be allowed into someone's studio to see what they do and how they do it.
I love how genuine you are. Be you! Thanks for sharing!
Dearest Katie, your an awesome wee young lady with a big heart and lovable nature...Never apologise for having acne, spots or whatever, your true followers simply, don’t care......Some people can be ever so cruel, no matter what you do, or how you look, just ignore them, Continue to be you, don’t change for anyone,and your soap vids are amazing....Whenever you have the time to share your amazing creations, in between your busy private life, your genuine fans, appreciate all you do......Thankyou for sharing.....x x
Omg I love watching you make this soap , you clearly know what you are doing so , you do what you do and let the rest go . Big hugs for youl. Ps I'm so glad I subscribed to your show because I didn't have the intrernet for awhile , I didn't miss a show lthank you .
I love that you keep it real. No make up, daggy back grounds etc. When things seem too perfect, they usually are cos they are 'put-ons' for the camera. The way you keep it real is one of the reasons I watch your videos. Please remember that for every 'hater' there are 100's of 'lovers' of your videos. If peeps dont like what they 'see' they should scroll on by and learn to keep their mouths shut because at the end of the day your soaps are what matter and they are amazing. All the other stuff is just cosmetic. Take it all away and your still left with your amazing soaps. Keep doing what your doing Katie. You are so generous with your information. To me your gorgeous NO MATTER WHAT your wearing, or whether you have make up on, or if your hair is done. I dont understand people that think its ok to bully others. To me it shows me alot about them. I see to all to often on YT videos these days where people are apologising if this or that offends their viewers when really its the viewers that need to pull their heads in. LOVE YOU KATIE. Never stop being you. You are fricken AWESOME❣❣
Don’t let people get to you! Your very pretty with or without acne. Thank you for being unapologetically you ❤️
You are a beautiful human being, and don't ever let anyone make you feel otherwise. You are brave and bold enough to open your life to an untold number of complete strangers, and you are an inspiration to everyone. Your inner light shines so clearly and brightly -- please remember always that there are so many of us who cherish and appreciate that light.
You're such a sweet person and I cant imagine how anyone has the courage to say something mean to you. Thanks for spreading love in every single video
I'm so glad that you're doing the videos/intros the way you want. It is your channel after all. I know that I love seeing creators in their natural settings, just being able to be themselves, not trying to put up a front, being able to show us their true selves.
Girl, YOU be YOU! I have always admired and appreciated how you don't feel the need to "perform" in front of the camera. To be honest, I believe your sincerity is one of the reasons people watch you! If there are folks who can't or don't appreciate your desire to focus more on making a high-quality soap instead of conforming to society's need for everyone to look perfect in front of the camera, then they just don't understand why you make soap in the first place. Much love to you from Indiana!
You should make a soap called “ you do you boo!” Make it ur favorite colors and just amazing! And don’t worry about the trolls! Also a troll soap would be cool too 🤗
Your honesty is refreshing....and personally?/??? I like you better this way... REAL! Be YOU.....blessings...and breathe!
Girl, we’re here for the soap. Your amazing personality is a super fantastic bonus. Makeup or not, you’re gorgeous. And I love your honesty and transparency.
Do it girl. No one is perfect and we need to stop pretending and just be real. You’re not a movie star, and even they’re pretending. You’re a real girl with a real life and real deficiencies, just like the rest of us.
Love your personality and your soaps ❤️
I know this is old but i love you for this intro. Im working on my own soap biz (golden zebra) and I want to make my own channel and my fear was my own acne. Thank you for your courage despite what ppl say. You are moving others to be brave whether you know it or not. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Katie, we LOVE you and understand life happens and you're human. Thank you for all your soapy lusciousness. x
I think you're truly amazing as you are. I love the 100% honesty and love that you aren't perfect all the time. Makes me love you even more.
You are so cool and so authentic that it’s always a pleasure to see the notification of a new video, I don’t care if it’s Wednesday or Saturday or any other week. I truly appreciate your uniqueness, continue what you are doing!
Katie, I have to tell you what I love about you is your fearlessness to put yourself out there. You are a very pretty young lady with your big blue eyes. Every small business person gets stressed and exhausted at times, and then add in a toddler! I'm impressed with how you keep going, keep doing intros as you are. You are always yourself, your lovable self. As for the haters, they are their own punishment. Big hug, Sherri in Minnesota
SHOW ME WHERE THE TROLLS ARE!! I WILL FIGHT THEM!!!
I’ve been watching you from the beginning, Katie. I have to say that I didn’t fall in love with your channel because of your background, your hair, your makeup, or how clear your skin is. I love this channel because of YOU. Your personality, your kindness, and your humor. Anyone watching you can tell that you’re a genuine person. Who we see on screen is who you really are even when the camera is off. If people don’t like who you are, they don’t have to be here. You’re here to make soap and share your creativity with us, not to win the TH-cam beauty pageant. No one is happy and bubbly all the time. We’re all human. We have bad days, we get tired. If you don’t feel like piling makeup on your face for a 5 minute intro/outro, then don’t do it. Ignore the hateful people and focus on those of us that love you for you.
How about Ray for your new soap cutter? Cause like princess and the frog. The Firefly named Ray loves the star he's named Evangeline? I'll go home.
YES!
I just said the same thing 😂 😂
Love that idea!
Omg that's so cute!!!!!!!😍
Honestly I appreciate this so much. I recently started going to work without makeup (5am ain't nobody got time for that) and I get so many more people telling me I look tired or asking if I'm sick. Jokes on them, I can rub my eyes and I'm super comfortable so 🤷♀️ do what makes you comfortable. I'll keep watching no matter what you do to your face❤
“You do you boo boo” you’re so fricken adorable girl!
You do intros and outros however you want, I’m here for your personality and soap making skills. It’s your TH-cam channel
Your soap came out great despite the darkening! The piping and embeds were perfect. I’m not surprised it darkened so much. I soaped that fragrance a month ago and it was a disaster. 😩 I kept the batter very fluid to use in squeeze bottles and long story short, it seized. Had to cram in a mold. I used a vanilla color stabilizer for CP soap, at a 1:1 ratio since the FO has such a high % of vanilla. I think that was my mistake. The soap had pools of oil on top that took a week to absorb into the soap. At least it was a small batch. Glad to see you didn’t have any difficulties with the fragrance aside from the soap darkening up. Still works since it’s a Fall soap. 🎃
You are one of the sweetest and most kindest souls!!! You rock, you roll and you keep making that soap girl! We love ya
I actually felt a bit angry that someone would be so horrible as to be mean or insensitive about something about a persons personal appearance!!
Katie... you are lovely, you have thousands upon thousands of people that adore you... for so many reasons! You are an incredible business woman that has grown as an individual, and as a company...(which IS stressful) you are so creative, so giving, trusting, and kind! Not to mention, you are running after that lil Princess Lily... juggling being a great mother... being a good and loving wife, a loyal, generous and caring sister... a wonderful daughter and friend!!!
So M'Lady... The Duchess of Suds... you are all of these things and that is REAL beauty! Just be you! There is nothing you can do about the haters... because haters are gonna hate! Focus on the love!
And you Katie Carson are beautiful!
The discoloration totally worked in your favor here, mellowing everything to a family of warm tones.
Man cutter😂, I suggest you name the cutter Wolverine, he to is very manly and cuts things!
Oh now that’s funny!
Oh I like that name a lot for the new cutter 😄!
I love when you don't do hair and makeup etc, I see so much of it on YT it's refreshing to watch someone who is comfortable with herself enough to do so. I also love when you do get dressed up etc, because you are a beautiful girl. I'll take you either way, because at the end of the day it's about the soap not about weather you combed your hair or not.
People are Asshats.. just be you and do what makes you happy. Its the best way to live life and we enjoy you as you are! ( I'm struggling with adult acne/rocesea and get comments too.. I feel your pain.. stay strong. Chin up! )
Katie, I gotta say, one of the things that drew me into your videos was that I clicked on it and you were just you. Your hair was in a messy ponytail (back when your hair was long) like mine always is. You didn't have makeup on. I could see your acne. You were you and you were beautiful. You made me feel okay to do the same thing. I'm not more drawn to your videos with makeup or without - because hey! Sometimes it is fun to get jazzed up. I'm drawn to them for your silly voices and your creative soaps. YOU inspired me to make my own soap two weeks ago because I have a coconut allergy and can't buy your awesome soaps! It didn't turn out the way I planned, but your videos have also taught me to go with the flow and it's still a great bar of soap (or I think it will be after it's done curing). Keep being you because that's the way I like it. I almost never comment on any videos, but I had to add to the positivity in the comment section.
You know, the fastest land mammal on earth is a toddler that's been asked what is in their mouth....🤣😂🤣😂
😭😭😭
I love natural/organic intros! Please don't let negative comments bring you down too much. I know you're only human. Much love!
Beauty is Beauty whether you wear makeup or not... Plus it feels good just to be natural
I think I can speak for many of your subscribers when I say that we watch your videos for your amazing soap creations and your sparkling personality. Lilly is ALWAYS a fabulous bonus. People that judge others obviously have some deep rooted problems with themselves. You my dear are amazing. I don't even have a place in my tiny apartment to make soap and I can't afford to buy your soap. But watching your videos makes me feel good. Twice a week there is a light that shines through the hard times and depression. Thank you so much.
Katie Katie Katie I watch your videos because you are you!👍🙌👊
I have never commented on a video before but felt the need to do so on this one. You have taught me so much and I am forever grateful. I don't tune in to see what your make up looks like, what clothes you are wearing or for the perfect back ground setting. I watch your videos for your sparkling personality. Please don't let the negative people get to you. They are either so miserable that all they want is for others to feel the same way or if all they have to complain about is someone's appearance, I'd say their worries are little and they need to stress more about being kind rather than causing others pain. We all have days when we don't either have time or care to have the perfect hair and make up. So it's nice to see you being you. If you're in the mood to style it up for a video, that's fine and if you're in the mood to go natural that's fine too....just be you.
You have a beautiful spirit and you make my heart smile.
You are gorgeous without makeup gurl!! You have no clue how many of us are HUGE FANS regardless of your appearance! Your soap making skills, creativity, and BOMB PERSONALITY are what we are here for! MUCH LOVE!!!
Yes! I love this kind of intro. Thank you for you being you. The intros with the makeup and the backgrounds didnt feel like they were you!
Katie if you're up for shakin' the haters, please please please keep sharing your love of soap with us, with or without getting all gussied up. Seeing your beautiful make-up free face as you casually share your passion with us, gives confidence to every one of us that feel we need to hide our blemishes. You are enormously talented and enormously beautiful.
I love that you keep it real. Forget those haters. I find it refreshing to see a real person not a fake persona. That’s why I love your videos, because your commentary is legit.
I personally love that you have acne and still get on camera without covering it up. I struggle with acne and despise makeup, and when I'm having a really bad breakout, I feel extremely insecure.. You're the first person I've seen that has been brave enough to show that, and it really helped me feel more comfortable and confident with my own skin.. I'm really sorry that people have been so rude to you about it, I know how much it can hurt, especially when it's something that you have little to no control over. You're extremely pretty, acne and messy hair and all. Thank you for being so unapologetically you.
BTW I love that you aren't in makeup it shows your you. And it awesome!!!
I’ve been watching your videos for about 6-8 months now. I fell in love with the way you explain everything and a absolute natural on camera. Just an average mom/ human making videos to show others your creativity and passion. I would love to continue seeing you be you and not being the you others want to see.
I love that your hair isn’t always picture perfect, or that you chose not to cover your acne with makeup. If more people would do that, we would be a lot more used to see humans in every form.
One of the reasons I kept watching was because you are real. With your quirckyness and all. Never feel the need to he anyone other than yourself. As long as you're comfortable and confident, your true fans, viewers and customers will keep supporting you.
I’m so sorry people are so judgmental, and ugly. You have two full time jobs. Usually the judgers judge the successful people, over anything and although there wrong and inspire of there comments. You are doing a great job pulling everything together for us. So don’t let them gloom your days and did encouraged you because there are more of us that support you. ❣️
Katie I think that you were a beautiful girl before you got married and had a wonderful baby and I think that you glow and are even more beautiful now after. I would rather you not have to put on the makeup if you don't want to. I am a seasoned woman and am graying at the temples, my eyebrows need serious attention according to my friends and my hair needs to be dyed but I just don't want to and if anyone loves me then it will be for me not for the way I look. So I just want to tell you that I Love you just the way you are.
Katie Carson!! You are so unmistakably perfect just the way you are, which is the way God made you! Your heart and soul make you genuinely beautiful! You’re such an inspiration to so many people, and your make up and hair are not prerequisites for inspiring others to be better soapers and better people. For several years, I have shown your videos in my classroom as a reward occasionally, and my high school seniors love, love, love you.
You’re my hero, too!
Don’t be distracted by criticism... The only taste of success those folks will ever experience is by taking a bite out of you!
There are so many nay-sayers and run-of-the-mill weirdos who will so often post negative comments only because they have nothing worthwhile to say or contribute. They live their pathetic small lives in a negative world, full of cynicism, condemnation, and carping. Usually, without a personality to speak of, they are quite unemployable and due to their inability to work tactfully with others, which affords them lots of time to troll others online.
Aristotle once remarked, To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
Katie, God made you, and he fashioned you flawlessly.
I know you believe in Him and His word. God does not make mistakes, and you are glorious just as he intended.
Please don’t let these malicious, ugly commenters draw you into their disgusting world.
You are so much better than that!!!
An exemplary young lady of your caliber, however, will likely: *** Kill them with success, and bury them with a smile! ***
God bless and comfort you, Katie, Caleb, and Lily (your mom and Polly Anna, as well).
I like you as is, im here for the art. This is all aboot the soap. These videos are relaxing to me. I have a medically intensive child and sometimes I cant sleep at night and these videos are so positive and relaxing it calms me enough to sleep.
Your hair and makeup are so unimportant because im here for the lady with a passion for soap.
Part of standing out in the competitive business world is to provide your customers something different. What sets you apart from the rest of the soap makers is that you keep it real. Your energy and the information you provide as you are making the soaps. That's what makes you different from other's, don't lose your touch. You are one of the best soap makes in my opinion. Don't get discourage.
Oh sweetie, ignore the haters and just be you! That’s who we really want to see!
I’ve suffered adult cystic acne for a decade. Doesn’t matter WHAT you use on your face, it’s gonna come when it wants to. Sure, somethings (usually fragrances) can irritate acne, but usually it’ll take actual medication to clear up. Don’t let people bring you down. You’re beautiful inside and out. 💕
My personal opinion is.. you should run your channel however you see fit and if people don't like they can bug off.
Exactly!
You and I are similar age, I felt like it wasn’t normal to get acne at 24, but adult acne is a thing and hormonal breakouts happen. You are gorgeous inside and out and people will think what they’re going to think, but that’s their problem, they’re wasting their time and energy on negativity. You are amazing and strong ❤️
Life happens it's not always rainbows, unicorns and sunshine... thank you for being your authentic self with the intro( long or not🙏❤)
The color is just PHENOMENAL
You’re HUMAN. Those of us who appreciate the time, effort, love, care and time to do what you do don’t really mind you being the honest you.
Much love Katie, Caleb and of course Lilly!!!
you are beautiful and amazing let the haters ruin their own lives
I know this is an old video so you probably won't see this, but that intro. It's horrible to think people have commented that sort of thing, and it sucks when you feel pressured to look or act a certain way. Honestly the first few videos of yours I ever watched, I was really surprised to see you didn't have visible makeup and looked more, well, natural. It's not something I see often on TH-cam anymore. It was so refreshing to see a successful woman making videos without getting all 'dolled up' for the camera and such, it's one of the things that made me click another of your videos in the beginning. And also your authentic bubbly personality, you just seem so *real* in your videos, it doesn't feel like you are faking or trying to be all serious and I love that so much.
I DON'T MIND HOW YOU LOOK LIKE ACNE IS A NORMAL THING😌
YOUR AWESOME SOAP MAKER THAT'S GREAT I WATCH YOU'RE VIDEO'S FOR THAT🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
You are a breath of fresh air!!
Look at all this LOVE for you Katie............. concentrate on THAT!!! I literally just laugh at negativity now. I believe we have to go through it, it makes us stronger.
I love natural, crazy, mama Katie! I love that you're honest about how life is and how sometimes you dont feel like wearing makeup and doing your hair to talk to us. And I feel like you shouldnt have to! We should support you through it all and if someone does t like that they can go away and watch someone else.
Shake off the haters...there are enough of us who love who you are and what you do ...all natural....no pretense needed.....
The unkindness of people sometimes gets me down, but there are so many more nice folks it gets me through. I have grandchildren older than you, so I'm old, but you are a breath of fresh air, and you teach this old dog new tricks all the time! I think you are so special. Don't change anything, ever. You are real, and that's what people want. Really. You are an artist and fun and especially unique!
Love the original Katie💗. So glad to have you back, I have missed you! 🤗
Wow, never let anyone kill your vibe! You are my favorite person to watch and I could care less what you have on. You are one of the sweetest and real people I've come across on TH-cam. Please, please, please do not let people make you rethink what you "should or shouldn't" do.
You be you and your beautiful self. Makeup or no makeup. ❤️
Having acne just means that you're young! I used to be young and have acne -- I wish I could go back in time and tell myself that acne is a small price to pay for being healthy and energetic and full of enthusiasm and great ideas. Always be yourself in your videos, however you feel each day. We're here to appreciate your beautiful, artistic craft! Can't wait to watch you try a new technique!
I love you no matter what!!! Film in your pajamas if you want!! Trolls are horrible people who like to bully from behind their screen. You so whatever you want to do, and we’ll be here for you.
Personally, I love your authenticity. I don't think you should change anything about how you present yourself to your fans. Boo to soapy snobs!! We love you Katie!!! Your videos are my go-to when I need a break at work, your soaps are so beautiful, and you come up with such cool ideas!
Hey Katie ... You rock. I personally think you are incredibly brave to be so honest about your acne and I actually really rate that you make videos without a full face of make up.
Does this impact on the quality of your soap or designs? Hell no!
So haters ... Bug out, get a life. Open your mind and use your brain.
Go Katie, go Katie ❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy to see that you are not going to worry about what anyone comments. I would rather see you being honest and showing what real life is like than what people think you should look, act or project a certain way. Life is messy and complicated! Love you and keep up the fantastic job!!
Plz sit in front of the camera looking however you might be looking that day to do your intro and outros. Its why I feel like we're friends. Keep it up. Lol you'll prob never see this comment but felt the need to say it
Just watching this vid for first time. Absolutely love that your true to you. Bravo for not allowing/choosing not to let others dictate/pressure you to do what you in your heart you know is wrong!!! Be true to you!!!
