today I have some questions for you!
I realize I don't ask you these questions
often enough and today I have two
questions that I'd like you to
answer. You can use the comment section
down below and I will try and read you all
and even though I don't reply to
each comment I will certainly take notes.
Question number one: I would like to know
what kind of content you enjoy to see
the most or would like to see on my
channel? Would you like more Q&A s?
Maybe you would like to see me do some
partnerships with other youtubers, other
creators on YouTube that are in the
cosmetic and soap making business?
More reviews? I love to review soap-making
gear, tools and equipment and if you have
a business where you make or sell soap making
tools you can certainly write me
a private message via my email or via my
facebook page and I'd be happy to review
those for you. But as my viewers I would
like to know if that's something you
enjoy? Do you prefer cold process or you
would like me to make more cosmetic
videos: creams, lotion, bath bombs or things
like that, so please comment below and I
will take notes and try to answer the
most popular subjects. Question number two:
I would like to know if watching my
channel is helpful for you? I would like
to know if it has impacted your life? Did
I help you start making soap? Did I
motivate you? Was I an inspiration for
you to start making your soap or
starting your own business? I talk to you
a lot and I show you many things but
usually the conversation is one way... Of
course you get to write to me in the
comment sections below but I don't
really ask you questions often enough
and I think that is something that I
should do more often. Here's your
opportunity to tell me if I've been
helpful to you in the past with my videos
and what could be helpful in the future.
So please, comment below. I get many many
requests for help and support and sadly
it is just too overwhelming for me to
individually answer everyone. When I have
time or if you happen to pop in at the
right moment, sometimes I'll answer and
I'll try to help people. It's not always
possible and I want to tell you that I do
see all of your messages but sometimes I
just don't have the time. I have three
little kids, they are all under the age of
six: my youngest is 18 months now. I don't
sleep full nights yet, so my priority of
course is my family and then my
job and you guys. Sometimes I try to
address some of the questions in my
videos without specifically saying:
I'm answering this or that question. I
would like to start making live videos
and if you guys log into one of my live
videos I would be happy to answer your
soap and cosmetic related questions or
business questions I can also answer
Facebook tips and tricks or YouTube and
you know things like that because I do
have people writing me asking me for
other kind of advice and then soap
making because obviously I'm a
lot online everywhere and people are
looking for help and support and
sometimes they reach out to me for that
too. I'm gonna try and have my first
youtube live streaming very soon so if
you want to know about that, you should
hit the subscribe button down there if
you aren't already subscribed and hit the
BELL button because the bell button will
notify you when I make a new video. When
I go either live or when I post a new
video and then you can be among the
first to know about it. You can also join
my patreon campaign and people have
access to my videos 24 hours before
everybody else because I always give
them private links one day ahead. Another
way for you to help support my Youtube
channel is by going over to my web store
and purchasing some soap! That is
actually the very number one best way to
support me! As a soap maker my job is to
make and sell soap and my business is
only open to the public, the foot traffic,
in the summer season here which is very
touristic on the islands and I'm only
open three-four months a year. The
big months are like July and August so
the rest of the year I rely on online
sales. If you want to help me, go over
to my website, the link is below, I'm
gonna write it down here and that is
what you can do to help support me!
Follow me everywhere! I will try and
tweet and Instagram, etc...
information about my first live
streaming. I'm a little bit stressed
about that because I've never done a
live streaming with such a big following!
Because you deserve it I will do it.
Can you see something in my eye? Look at that!
I got a ring light! Here are my lights
that I just received. I haven't done any
videos with them until now. This is a
newer... Neewer? Neewer??? I don't know what it's
called or I know what it's called but I
just don't know how to pronounce it!
This one I really love it's very small,
but it's pretty powerful. It's dimmable
and it goes pretty bright. It is
battery-powered so no cord is attached
to this and their are actually rechargeable
batteries! So I don't need
to continuously buy new batteries, I can
just recharge them. I got two batteries
and then here I have my ring light which
is probably going to be my new best
friend! It's very bright, very powerful. I
love it! It's pretty intense yeah? It's
also a dimmable light but I don't find
that the dimmer is that much... you can't
really... well you can tell but it's subtle!
And then this is my old light that I
already had but I just added this little
soft box on top of it which was actually
made for this one but I found that it
was a little loose on it and then I
would have a hard time reaching
the dimmer. So i just removed it. What
I really really love about these two
guys is actually their stands which
are on rolling casters so i can just
kind of move these around with ease and
with the small workshop that I work in,
its very practical and when I have my
new workshop, that's coming soon, these
will fit perfectly into my new video
making setup! So, pretty happy with these!
Say CHEESE! So I got a reflector that i'm
probably going to be using as my third
light and yeah mm-hmm I need to
figure out how I'm going to set this up
in this workshop which is very tiny and
still be able to actually work and make soap!
But once I move, this Fall, hopefully, I
will have plenty of room to make more
beautiful videos! I'm so happy! Hey thanks
again and I will see you very soon!
