Teaching my boyfriend how to make soap 🧼

This week, I'm putting James to the test and teaching him how to make soap for the very first time 👀🧼 We're breaking out some new molds, experimenting with beautiful fragrance oils inspired by the Camp Bramblewood collection, and seeing whether he has what it takes to survive a day in the life of a soap maker. There may have been measuring, mixing, questionable pouring techniques and a few strong opinions about fragrance choices along the way 😂 I also share a little update on fostering a cat and spend some time resetting my space because life always feels a little lighter after a good tidy-up. Thanks for spending part of your day with us ❤️ #soapmaking #soapmaker #coldprocesssoap #smallbusinessowner #makingsoap #lifestylevlog #dayinthelife #creativebusiness PRODUCTS / THINGS MENTIONED → Soap-Making Equipment/Tools: · Winston and Walter: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63417908 ○ Cavity Silicone Mold - 25 Round, 5 ounce, 3" Soaps: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68801153 · ToAuto Melter - 5% off through my link: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63421728 · Soap Calculator: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68804133 · Stick Blender: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68804885 · Safety Goggles: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68806217 · Infrared Thermometer: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68806817 → Soap Ingredients: • Lye: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68807104 • Olive Oil: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68807165 • Sunflower Oil: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68807970 • Coconut Oil: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68808092 • Shea Butter: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68808148 • Rice Bran Oil: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68808196 → Brambleberry Camp Bramblewood Collection: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68802831 • Sunrise at the Lake Fragrance Oil: https://go.shopmy.us/p-68803113 *Full list of ingredients, suppliers and recipe found on Patreon: → Sunrise at the Lake Shea Butter Soap Recipe and Steps: https://www.patreon.com/jerikazimmerm... → Shop everything in 1 place: • Soap Making: https://shopmy.us/jerikacrystel/soap-... • My Outfit/Accessories: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/60... • Join ShopMy: https://go.shopmy.us/join/jerikacrystel MY DIGITAL PRODUCTS & SOAP → Patreon (recipes + behind the scenes + more!): https://go.shopmy.us/p-63402739 → My Etsy (formulas, templates, guides): https://go.shopmy.us/p-63402545 → My soap business / products: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63417313 AFFILIATE LINKS → Shop everything in 1 place: • Soap Making: https://shopmy.us/jerikacrystel/soap-... • My Outfit/Accessories: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/57... • Join ShopMy: https://go.shopmy.us/join/jerikacrystel → Amazon Storefront (US): https://go.shopmy.us/p-63438331 → Amazon Storefront (CANADA): https://go.shopmy.us/p-63438037 → Soap-Making Equipment: • Winston and Walter: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63417908 ○ 4 LB Angela Tall & Skinny Beginner Mold: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63419529 ○ 7.5 LB Tall & Skinny Loaf Mold: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63420329 ○ 24 LB Jerika Slab Mold: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63420822 • ToAuto Melter - 5% off through my link: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63421728 → Soap-Making Suppliers: • Bulk Apothecary: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63422936 • Village Craft and Candle - 5% off using code Jerika5: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63423477 • Nurture Handmade: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63424109 • Baraka Shea Butter - Get $15 off!: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63424972 • Mad Micas: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63425656 • Makesy - get 20% off your first order: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63426606 → Packaging/Branding Equipment: • Biodegradable Shrink-wrap System (use code Jerika5 for 5% off): https://go.shopmy.us/p-63427706 • Laser Engrave Soaps, packaging and more - xTool - ($80 off through my links): ○ xTool F2 - portable laser that engraves and cuts: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63431910 ○ xTool M2 - ultimate beginner laser that prints in color, engraves and cuts: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63432623 → Small Business Tools: • Inventory Management - Inventora - Use the code QUENCH20 for 20% for the first 3 months of your subscription: https://go.shopmy.us/p-63428692 • Graphics and Branding - Canva Pro (free trial): https://go.shopmy.us/p-63430105 • Influence others and share what you love - become a creator on ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/join/jerikacrystel • Music and Sound Effects for your content - Epidemic Sound (30 day free trial): https://go.shopmy.us/p-63445319 CONNECT WITH ME & JAMES Me: → Instagram: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/57... → TikTok: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/57... → Facebook: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/57...
