- If you've been in any creative arts industry you share on the internet, you've most likely been copied once or twice. While there isn't a way to stop the copy cats, you CAN control how you respond. That's what we are talking about today while making this soap! Links to everything I use down below! xoxo

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. :)

I'm an artist and my mentor once told me "Once someone starts using, stealing or copying your work, you know you've made it"
VelvetLace umm to me that makes no sense pls explain to me 😂😂
Liah W. That means you’re so good and successful people want to emulate you
Mashed Illustration exactly...it’s like the ultimate compliment 😊
I’ve heard the same thing... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I’m in music and I’ve been down this road. You’ll burn out trying to hunt down everyone that has a riff that might sound similar to yours.
I was a chef with many of my own recipes that I had developed. Most chefs don't share recipes at all but I give my recipes to anyone who asks,because if I die tomorrow so does my recipes
So sharing recipes with soap I think is extremely kind and generous
You are a good soul!!
That's awesome! What's your favorite recipe?
I kinda feel knowledge is MEANT to be shared..and I believe each person brings their own interpretation of any particular design so...do we really copy each other?
I agree
I know this is an old comment but I agree with you so much! I'm tired of people saying "that's my secret cookie recipe" and refusing to share. Or I've even been given the recipe but it doesn't turn out the same like they left something out 😓
I'll always share my recipes with people who ask. 💜
You are the reason I make soap now. And I will always be grateful to you for that. That said, I don’t sell my soap and, though I find your designs inspirational my soaps look nothing like yours. Think of yourself as a soapy fairy godmother spreading soaping lessons to people who may otherwise never have found this thing that they now love.
I also make soap because of Katie! I don't sell mine either, just share with friends and family. It's so fun, and addicting!!
Me too!
Same here! Katie was the inspirational push I needed to take the next step towards making soap myself. I'm just starting out, but I hope one day I can get on her level!

Me too!!!!!
I watched you for about 3 months before attempting my first batch of Cold process. I researched for about a year and was making melt and pour the entire time. My daughter is autistic and I started making her melt and pour soaps with toys in them to keep her distracted in the tub. It worked and she let me wash her hair and body without a fit!! I opened my etsy and sell other items I've made for my family and friends and I love it. It helps me pay for groceries some months.
You inspire me, teach me, and encourage me to continue. I thank you for that! I never try to copy and honestly don't think I could even if I tried. I look forward to watching your video every week!
I've ran into being in the same wavelength as others many times now.
My little sister is neuroatypical, we do a lot of soaping and candleling together. It is very cool to connect a bit.
They say “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. Who is they and why are they so full of wisdom?
I was just going to say that!
Came here to say this exact saying! I, myself, have wanted to try soap making with her recipe. Not to sell, just to give to family and friends, but I wanted to video me making the things I come up with. So I have been afraid to do so since I didn't wish to upset her.
Wilhelm Busch Said something like this. Not exactly, I think she interpreted it to fit in here.
As a new soaper... I never steal designs.... but I can think something up... run off and make it and then cut it only to find 50 other people have done it before me. LOL I got all excited a few times over a soap being all original and then found someone else did it. That was when I realized... if you grab a certain fragrance it automatically makes people think of certain colors.... then there are only so many techniques so yeah... there are always going to be similar soaps... BUT I love soaping so much I just don't care. We all inspire each other... and you most certainly are a inspiration...even though I can't pipe... I LOVEEEE watching you soap. :)
Yeah, not many people will pick up a lime fragrance and color it purple, or do a charcoal soap with birthday cake fragrance. Anything that's themed (birthstones, seasons, holidays) is going to run out of variations pretty quick.
My first exposure to high top soap loaves with frosting was 35 years ago. I thought it was very innovative back then, and still do. Each soap artist has the same availability of materials to use in the form of ingredients, fragrance oils, embed molds, techniques, etc., so there will always be a lot of similarities among soap artists somewhere. Artists who are painters such as Van Gogh and Monet were both impressionist artists, with the same materials to use, but their 'look' and final product were different, yet similar. I admire all artists, all variations, both with brush and paint, soap, pen and ink, etc.
Sandra Berger indeed!!!
Sandra Berger absolutely. Whenever a soaper gives out their recipe, a fan will always feel privy to make the same exact soap because she's sooo friendly and good at what she does. She has inspired so many and will always have fans do this. Me on the other hand I like to think I'm creating and making my own designs even though it's sooo many similarities out there.
your advice on just doing you and not caring about copycats and that because they're always a step behind anyway is true in situations like yours, where you are the bigger and more known soap maker anyway, but it's a different story with for small new designers/businesses having their designs stolen by big companies (for example wish) which actively ruins your business and hinders you making money of your creations.
I agree with you. I'm an illustrator and it happened so many times already, that more well known people and companies stole my art. It's disheartening to see them gain all the praise and tenthousands of likes while I stay unrecognised .__.
As I said, I adopted this idea when I was NOT a bigger and more known soap maker. I have had my images stolen and put on Wish, eBay, Aliexpress, and many other foreign websites when I didn’t even have an Instagram, much less a following there. My outlook and advice I discussed in this video is talking about fellow small businesses and creators, not major corporations. For those, I issue DMCAs IF I find out about it.
@@RoyaltySoaps i agree with you totally. I keep in mind: there are many fast food restaurants who sell like items on their menus. Same name, same features, but very different tastes and different qualities! Also, there is always going to be someone trying to be like you... We know there is only one original. Keep up the good work! Love your positive attitude towards the situations life throws at you. You're an amazing person! You're my best friend that i never had! 😊😁
PLEASE make a pumpkin spice latte soap!
nooooooooooooooooo dont start the pumpkin spice everything
@@100makeupfreak8 how about just a pumpkin pie soap then? Appease the dessert people as well as the psl people :)
Complete with a sprinkling of "cinnamon."
Thank you. Like, honestly thank you. I'm a full time digital artist, mainly working through twitter, and a lot of times I put myself down and compare myself to others who get more commissions than me. Although I have never had copy cats or anything, what you said about keeping our eyes on our own prize is very true for me. I need to stop worrying about how successful someone else is at what I do, and just be happy with the simple fact that I do get business. So, Katie, thank you from the bottom of my heart and have a very blessed day!
You're awesome... Seriously I started buying some soap making equipment since I started watching your videos... You're so passionate and so open and caring, you make others want to try something new...
I'm nodding my head in agreement. 7 billion people on the planet indeed. You are so right about people having the same idea's. I know myself I have certain idea's, only for another soaper to beat me to it, it happens. A VERY important person once said "it gains a man nothing to worry"....
P.S. the soap is gorgeous and good to see the orange colour stayed orange.
Oh My Goodness! "One person can't clean them all" Katie you are amazing! For someone so young you are such an advanced human, I've never met you but girl I love ya! You're awesome. Please just keep being you, it would break my heart to see you become jaded, I'm 49 years old, I've been soaping MP for nearly 30 years, you inspired me to branch out into cold process, watching Kenny at Royal Apple Berry helped me get over my fear of the lye and you're both awesome!
I love Celestial Seasonings! That is amazing soap. I love your piping and it inspired me to play with the technique. Thank you so much for the piping set as it has opened up my whole soapy world. I don't ever copy anyone but I don't ever assume my design is the only one out there. I consider it the highest form of flattery if someone copies my design. I'm so small it isn't even within me to imagine copycats, LOL.
Pointing out that they might have thought up something similar. It's a thing that happens all the time. Once something is invented it get's "invented" again independently by someone who was unaware of the original invention or discovery of it. No one ever considers it but it is a real and actual thing that happens with everything.
This is exactly why i watch your videos. You’re mature beyond your years and your advice to other small business owners is absolutely amazing. I remember years ago someone was a bit nasty to you on line and you told your mum and she told you to shut your computer and not to worry. My daughters watched that with me and they’ve taken that advice with them. You’d be surprised what you’ve said over the years that has helped and changed people. You’re a beautiful happy and wise old soul and the world needs more of that sprinkled all over, just like your glitter. So, thank you and have a wonderful day 😊
Your videos make my day!!!!!!! I’ll spend a whole weekend marathoning them after your Saturday uploads
I do the same thing and I can watch them over and over again... they’re so relaxing
nothing better than starting off fall with a nice batch of fall scented soaps
Someone years ago told me that when someone copies you it's an opportunity to level up your work and it revolutionised the way I operate!
Love watching your videos. I totally understand your position. Stressing yourself out over copycats is more often not worth it. I will say being inspired is more flattering than copying. But that’s just my opinion. If i inspire someone that means my work spoke to their creative juices in order to create something that is their own yet has some of my flare.
Totally loving your choice of words!
Seconding this. Especially if someone is truly inspired by what you’ve done, and it isn’t just someone ripping you off, I think it’s a great way to look at it that you’ve put a part of your self into somebody else’s art.
As a newer soaper myself, I try to be cognizant of not copying you or other youtubers. I recently made a grape soda soap and was determined that it look nothing like the one you recently posted! You are one of my inspirations, and I think this soap turned out beautiful. Easily one of my favorites.
Others imitate you because your art is so beautiful and many want only to be half as talented as you. They lack the creativity and inspiration that seems to come so easy and natural to you. Never fear copycats, they only show how good YOU are.
Thanks for all you do, I am a beginner and deeply appreciate your creations as inspiration.
I only recently found videos on soap making. I’ve always been interested in making soap. I appreciate your generosity. Also you being candid about how you feel about others who copy your designs even how you do your videos. Learning so much from you and inspired by your upbeat attitude and take on a lot of things. ❤️❤️❤️
Whether we are soap makers, pastry chefs, clothes designers, artists,or a perfumer, we all borrow ideas from each other. It's been done for centuries by the masters. I think it's a compliment.
Thank you for your input on copy cats. It's shed a new and different light on my own perception. I am feeling more and more confident about my work and creations and leaving it at that. 🙂 I love watching your videos as they are always entertaining. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing about this!
Your videos are my primary motivator for getting into soap-making. You look to be having so much fun, I want to have fun, too! Your enthusiasm for what you're doing is seriously infectious.
Hey Katie! I just wanted to let you know that you've always been an inspiration for soaping. I was never able to do the quality of work you do, and I do soap for myself only, but man, your design are goals. Thanks for being so positive all the time!
Also homemade cranberry sauce is so easy and yummy! Just cranberries and your choice of sweetener (maple syrup is our favorite) in a pot over medium heat, cooked until they burst and the sauce thickens up. You can add vanilla if you want, or orange juice or orange rind, or spices, but cranberry, sweetener, cook and stir is all you actually need!
KATIE!!!! Please please please make a apple cider soap for fall!!!!!! I would absolutely cry😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🍏🍎🍏
That sounds delish!
With little cinnamon stick imbeds!
Ive been selling bath bombs for almost a year to help fund our IVF journey. We leave in a week. I’ve been watching your videos for almost 2 months now to give my brain something to focus on that isn’t our upcoming treatments lol. Your videos are soothing and you’re incredibly positive. When we get back, I’m going to try my hand at making soap and it’s all because of your inspiration. I may never sell it, but you make it look so incredibly fun. I bought a book full of small batch recipes to help me get a feel for it, and I’ve been watching you and gathering all kinds of helpful tips and tricks. Thanks so much for the inspiration and the sanity saving hours watching you make soap 💜
I fell in love with making soap watching your videos! I purchased your piping set and set out to make my first soap and although it was your recipes that came with the piping set, I tried really hard to make my design my own. It does reflect your style, but I don’t post them on UA-cam and I tell people you’re my inspiration. I now get inspiration from other soapers, but am better at coming up with my own designs. I thank you and every one else in the soaping community for being so nice and encouraging to newbies like myself. I love watching your videos! Thank you for taking the time to make and post them.
My husband and I are wanting to try soap making because of you :). You inspire us and i love your artistic way are soup making. You are just so positive and funny. Thank you for your channel
Well even though they are copying your videos, most of us watch these because YOU are doing them. I can only tolerate watching certain soap videos. Some are grating on my nerves (like silly things that just rub me wrong, like someone who speaks very immaturely/high pitched baby talk-esque), others are boring or just too long (25 minutes??? I ain't got time to watch someone soap in semi-silence when I could just do it myself), and others I just don't vibe with. I'm not much of a youtube watcher at the moment, and I already make my own soap. So really, you're the sole reason I watch your videos. And I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments about people who steal designs. They're not always in it for the passion of it/the art of it, so they often fizzle out quick when they don't make money like they thought they would, and they don't make money because they don't have that drive to do things for the sake of the love of creating. And often, they are inexperienced and unknowledgable, creating subpar products at best. The love of a craft is what fuels innovation and success, not the capability of imitation. Quite sad for them actually, because if they would have refocused the efforts they made in photoshopping or stealing images/designs, instead building their foundation in the craft, they likely would have been able to make their own designs and been more likely to eventually make money and succeed.
I've watched all of your videos but just wanted to say that this one is my favorite. You are so inspirational with your positive energy! It's all about how you choose to look at things.
I’ve enjoyed watching your videos for almost a year, made my first purchase of royalty soaps and I am so happy I found your channel!
I am a crafter, I bead and your little self truth has helped me with my area of crafting, thank you for sharing!
Hi Katie!!! Such a Gorgeous Soap!!! I just ordered and received some of your soaps for the first time - finally! I LOVE THEM ALL!!! You have been such an inspiration in your soapmaking!!! I have not been brave enough to venture yet into CP but have been making MP for the last nine months. Keep up your positively beautiful attitude and gorgeous soapmaking!!! Totally addicted to your channel and soapmaking now thanks to you!!! Thank You!!! -Hugs from Amanda
Of course you have nice comments, you radiate positivity! When I'm down, I just watch one of your videos and everything is better. You're youtube glitter!
Cheers from Croatia! 🤗
P.s. I'd really like to see a soap the colors of the sweater from the intro, very appropriate for autumn :)
I researched soap making for years, but your videos were the inspiration that gave me confidence to actually make some. Thanks for your peptalks! It is one of the reasons I enjoy watching your channel!
So cool! Love your commentary on people using others designs. What’s truly yours can never be taken from you. Much appreciation 👍🏾
CRANBERRY ORANGE ZINGER!!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮 I love celestial seasonings tea
I have to say your wonderful! I started making soaps about 4 years ago only because my husband was at the time in stage 4 kidney failure and had chronic dry itchy skin that was constant itching day and night and no sleep for either of us and no over the counter or prescription creams gave him the relief he needed and that I desperately needed (sleep wise) so I though OMG I have to figure this out before one of us is insane! so I started researching how to help him, and alot i read was handmade soaps, so research and research and also youtube videos (OF course yours, Yellow Cottage Soapery and Arianne and Edens Secret was my favorite, because they were informative, helpful, and detailed and god i love all 4 ladies personalitys & the beauty was also a delight to watch) to see if I could even possibly do this! I have always been artsy and crafty, but this was a new scary thing! But I gave in, and was immediately addicted. but wasnt happy with the justa a basic 3 oil soap, sooo MORE research and more research and alot of testing, i made soap like a crazed woman needing sleep! and was always tossing him something new to try... and it just became a passion, So then after helping him find relief, then it became a trial of "ok what would i want in a soap also?" because we loved it, my adult daughter and I. So I played even more over the years, as i sold soap here and there to friends and family i bought more things to try out in my soap recipe. then it expanded to lotions, conditioners and so on. And Oh and the wonderful world of bathbombs. but I just want to thank you and all the other ladies for the lovely videos and supportive advice, although I love your designs, and i do agee you cant control all and have to just let some things go. I am one that if i was going to do it I am doing my own recipe, my own designs my own everything. But anyways my point is I sold to friends for years, and family and now been doing my recipe that i am pleased with for over a year and a half, ended up selling in a lil shop here in town, but after 8 months my daughter was "MOM, You need to do this lets open a shop together!" so she does photography and I get the store front for my lovelys and all because you lovely wonderful ladies and your inspiration and encouragement and information I now have been open a month, not making huge amounts of money but it lets me do my passion and my daughter do hers and be proud of the hard work we put into it. so TY lovely ladies!! and hubby is still doing well skin wise, but on the expected path of stage 5 kidney failure and starting dialysis soon. but this passion of soaps also gives me some peace and an outlet. So in many ways I Thank you
I hope you’re doing well! :)
I love how positive and thoughtful you are on your channel. I’m addicted to watching your videos and I’ve been thinking hard about making my own soap for home because you make it look so fun!
Katie I love how positive you are, you are honest, and genuinely seem to be on your own path just trying to grow your business. The fact that you don’t worry about copy cats is very humbling.
This is my favorite aesthetic pleasing soap that you have made. 😭😍😍😍
Please make more with dried ingredients on top😱
And homemade cranberry sauce is super yummy😍😍
That makes me want to make more fall soap! So pretty!
If you let fear run your business you will never get anywhere. I know that a lot of soapers think “they” created one soap or another but I guarantee someone has already made that recipe or done that design. You may have not seen it but it's out there so just make soap and be happy people! :-)
I agree, every time I come up with a new soap idea I Google it and sure enough is already online someone is done it or a lot of people have already done it.
Yep! We may have made it up in our minds...but so has someone else. :-)
Also being hypervigilant about "copycats" can also stifle your own creativity as let's face it we all draw inspiration from various things whether we realize it or not.
Preach! I've been coming to the same conclusion. And also I've seen several people attempt to copy your designs and they still don't come close. Your products have your own personal twist that no one can copy no matter how hard they try. Keep up the great work! You have been such an inspiration to me and so many others.
I think this is one of my favorite soaps you’ve made, so gorgeous!
The swirls look like fire! The oranges are beautiful! 😍😍😍😍
Edit: I like canned cranberry sauce, have never had homemade but I think it would be great!
can you make a s’mores soap??
She will ;)
Yessss!!
i love thissssss
I love the colour of this , it's really pretty. I love the way you have grown as a person. I think you have always had a kind heart but the way you think is also beautiful. I have had people copy my designs for jewellery and sell for cheeper etc I tend to see it as a compliment. It's always nice to know I was the original regardless if anyone else thinks otherwise , as long as I know ☺️. Your soaps will always be popular because people buy into you as a person not just how beautiful your designs are.
i'm LOVING these autumn soap videos! even though it's still burning hot in texas, these soaps are really getting me into the fall spirit 💛🍁
I like you before but after watching this video I Love you girl they can copy your soaps all they want but they can never copy your honesty or your personality ❤
Where is the black cat soap?! P.s love you so much ❤
I have loved your channel for about 4 years now. I went through a very difficult period in my life back in 2015 and somehow stumbled across your Channel. I decided to have a go at making soap in my little house in the middle of nowhere and i instantly fell in LOVE! It gave a focus so that I could heal, and also have a lovely smelling house!
My partner and I are at the very early stages of opening a soap business and it is yourself that has inspired me massively to have confidence to do the thing i love most. Thank you to you and your amazing family for not knowingly helping me through a very hard time with the most amazing and therapeutic craft EVER! Much love to you all, and look forward to even more of your soapy adventures!!
I wish there was smell-o-vision!! That looks like it smells amazing. Also I love your positivity and your outlook on life. So real and refreshing!
Ahhhh I still can’t get over how cute the bob is! ❤️
I watch all of your videos and I love them but today I was especially happy to see you’d already uploaded a video.
I’m sitting in a hospital waiting room right now while my daughter has a brain and spine MRI.
Thank you for helping me take my mind off my worries even if only for a few minutes ❤️
Sending positive prayers to and your daughter. Hope everything comes out ok.
Sending you and your daughter good wishes!
I adore that swirling!
But also I love that youre comfortable sharing with us your feelings and encouraging words!
i loved the flow of this video and i really really live the way you deal with drama !! you just carried on making the soap but talking abt something really important and i just really liked it :) i could listen to you talk for days your voice is so relaxing
😍 all my favourite colors in one soap I can die happy 😭😭
here at 105 views. love you Katie!
You are always a breath of fresh air. Thank you for your kindness and support of the soaping community. There is no place for cattiness in soap making. Xoxo
That's why I love you your channel so much, you get to the heart of the matter and you have a purity in your attitude and artisty that most have lost. I appreciate it.
My only thing with people copying is when they don’t give credit to whom they’re copying.
I make cranberry chutney. Cranberries, raisins, apples, cinnamon, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, almond slivers.
Katie, how did you ever become so wise at such a young age? I am old enough to be your grandmother and I just adore you. I too am a soaped and I quote you daily. Making soap makes me so happy and it is my passion. People like you help me so very much in my soap endeavors and I truly appreciate it. Thank you my Dear, and blessings to you and your family. Nana Pat from Michigan. Oh by the way we live on South Padre Island in the winter, Love Texas.
This soap is so gorgeous. I am obsessed with the color combo in the base. AAAAH
It's a wonderful thing to be the bigger person when it comes to sensitive subjects as this. The ones doing the copying are just trying to ride a "coat tail" to success and it doesn't work. If you are known in your craft, the public knows your style and when someone else tries to duplicate it, it just makes them look ignorant and uncreative...shame on you! I do see a certain YT'r (no names mentioned) that is constantly doing your style of soap, she is trying to build her channel. I see the resemblance but she comes NO WHERE close to having your creative edge. So keep on doing your "thang" girlie, your designs will always come out on top in the end! Have a great weekend...Big ((Hugs)) from a fellow Texan not far from ya! xoxo : )
I totally agree.. I am certain we are thinking of the same youtuber.. and although her finished product doesnt even come CLOSE to katies... it is still very clear her intentions of her whole videos and designs etc are directly an attempt at trying to succeed in the soap industry off the back of what katie has built.
Hmmmm... They usually comment too! I wonder where it is?
Right?! So true...Have a nice night! ((Hugs))
@@djawnsjhilson218 Yesss.. they normally comment on EVERY video of Katies.. you are right.. they haven't commented this time. I am honestly just so glad that others have noticed. I constructively left a comment one day saying something along the lines of "i can't wait to see your (their) direction and creativity as a soaper because i just see attempts at Katies work" i was bullied, harrassed for weeks, labelled a troll because i had an opinion.. i was absolutely disgusted and not at all surprised how much drama they loved... love to you all in your crafty adventures xoxo
I watched a few and almost commented similarly but with an added comments on working on colors and the name! Something held me back and decided to not watch anymore The people that don't get it, I don't think will ever get it.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Keep the positive attitude.
Just found your channel last week, can't stop watching! Such beautiful art and your positive fun disposition is so refreshing!
Your videos just keep getting better and better! I love it when you get candid! Plus that soap looks delicious!
Pls make a Turkish delight soap
Her: *mentions Shane Dawson*
Me: oop-
You are the reason I started making soap! I haven't been doing it very long, but I LOVE the creative outlet! I would never directly copy someone else's design but I do like using other people's designs to draw my own inspiration from.
You are a beautiful soul Katie. I have been seeing a lot of copycats lately, and it has been bothering me even though they are not copying me, but other soapers, but your words are absolutely true. Thank you 😘
What does it say about me that I can usually identify Nurture micas before you name them?
Emily is right. There is a person who has a particular design on UA-cam who gets credit for it. That person never said they invented it. That particular design had been show by someone else on UA-cam years before, but never gets any credit. And that person doesn't say they invented it. People are have been making soaps all over the world using designs that many new soapers in America have just discovered. Hello, UA-cam is a recent phenomena! If you don't want people to copy you, don't show them how to do it. That may sound harsh, but that's the truth. P.S. you are unique. Nobody can take that from you. Eventually, they're find their own uniqueness too. Maybe?
NYtalk60 you're absolutely right. I gotta be honest and say I'd never put my recipe for anyone to use. If they buy a bar of soap that's different. At least they'll have to figure out the percentage. Let them do their own work like she had.
This may be one of my favorites, visually! It screams fall and comfort and coziness! Perfect!!!!
There can only be one Katie Carson and I love your videos and admire your willingness to help newbies. I am in Texas too and honestly some of the ones I have met won't even tell you where they found their fragrance oil. I could never copy someone's soap design but after I watch your videos and a couple other favorites, I am inspired to try something new. I am certain that for every hater, there's probably 1000 fans and customers. You are definitely my favorite.
Make a UA-cam themed soap!! I would definitely buy it. You could do a red and white swirl with LOTS of glitter! ✨✨✨
Until I became a Chef, I never knew the difference between homemade and canned cranberry sauce. Homemade cranberry sauce at least once in your life..It's A Must.
Oooo! You’re really getting me into fall 🍁🍂🍁🍂 The thought of cranberry orange fragrance is making my mouth water! I love that you addressed the elephant in the soap studio. No one will ever actually be able to copy your soaps because they’re made with your personal touch, skill and care. Thanks for your positivity and encouragement!
Katie, I have been loving your videos! In the last few days I think I’ve binge watched about 30 videos. It’s so satisfying to watch!
Tonight I was just watching this video and at the end when you were cutting the bars, my fiancé turned to me and said, “I’m just so disappointed that it’s soap and not cake!”
You are a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. Keep making your amazing products and keep sharing the process with us. I know I enjoy seeing it. ❤️
Also , sorry but who in the hell could possibly dislike this video?! And what on earth for? 😂

The copycat!
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

this is the prettiest soap, in my opinion, that you've made yet. i love your craft, and your absolute positivity and maturity. can't wait to see more creations!!!
Katy this is why I love watching you. Your honesty and beautiful heart inspires me
Did you shoot a bunch in a row, or do you have a bunch of the same sweater? Hehejk
Irisa Anne Secret : It take me five-ever to put on make and look decent. I make the most of it. I shot all of my video intros for the month on the same day. 😂
Royalty Soaps 😂 please make a black cat soapp pleaseeee
@@RoyaltySoaps Hey gurl, I'd do the SAME THING. Why not, that way you can have a break and all you literally have to do is just post the video cos it's already made.
That, and it leaves you time to design new soaps! :D
@@RoyaltySoaps Five ever...I'm dying! You are adorable and such an inspiration to this old lady.
Plz do a hogwarts soap or a bacon soap I think that could be so funny 🤣 I SMELL LIKE BEEF 🥩 ps ily so much Katie
Katie, I’ve been soaping since 2002 and back then, myself and a handful of other soapers were the innovators and inspiration leaders, particularly in a VERY large, well known soaping forum (because that’s all we had back then, UA-cam didn’t yet exist). EVERYONE, and I mean literally everyone copied all of us, blatantly stealing recipes , photos and techniques that we were all sharing within the forum, never giving credit where it was due. 2 products in particular back then were in hot demand by all the newbies with dollar signs in their eyes........emulsified sugar scrub and solid shampoo bars. I still have the threads saved from those posts in the forum where it is clear and evident who the original formulators were. My point in bringing this up after just recently hearing about and looking you up is this: YOU are the innovator now. YOU are the trend setter now. YOU are the one who inspires others to be creative. The work you do is AMAZING! Haters gonna hate! Don’t let ANYONE harsh your mellow or distract you from doing you. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but they will never be YOU! Keep up the good work Katie, you are an absolute pleasure to watch and your attitude of gratitude is astounding!
This looks so so good. It is soooooo satisfying to watch all your videos. Especially the slicing part and the final piece 😍
@ other soap makers: her positivity isn’t permission.
Why do you feel the need to say this? Also, for those not selling, copying existing designs makes sense to learn. You try to learn the technique by seeing if you can replicate.
TheSerenityJade I totally get that, but obviously it doesn’t make the creator feel totally awesome and there’s other ways to practice techniques.
I’m not out here trying to start fights or be rude, just saying that even though she’s not trying to shut people down, it’s not permission to steal her designs.
@@calvie420 How is it stealing any more than using a recipe is stealing? Or trying to recreate a dish you had once? What about drawing your favorite characters to learn how to draw? If they aren't making money or notoriety off it, copying is a fabulous learning tool and not something to criticize.
TheSerenityJade I’d say it’s something to criticize if it makes the creator obviously unhappy?
@@calvie420 I don't think creators have the right to do that. Creators have the right to make money off their designs and have them attributed to them. They don't have the right to control what others do surrounding their designs. And criticizing people for practicing and just trying to learn is gatekeeping, which I don't find ethical or moral in creative disciplines.
I think you're speaking to me.
Last night at homecoming decorations. These girls caught an attitude with us. We go by grades. I'm a senior, and freshman were copying us.
So we told them to stop copying us. And then I started getting pissed off.
But then you said if they copy they'll always be one step behind.
And in the grand scheme of things high school stuff may seem super big in the moment, but after high school none of it matters.
That's what this girl said. She said in 10 years looking back on high school. We aren't gonna cry because we lost a competition of hallway decorations.
But for me it's different. My career may be art
I love that you included that copy part. I feel so inspired to try making soap, and I'm always worried that ppl will think I'm copying, often I don't even try. So thanks! That was encouraging
Girl, you are just amazing at your craft. You are truly an inspiration to not only those in the soap trade but also just in the art trade in general.
Honestly, I can't watch anyone who constantly complains that people copying their soap. It's just soap for God's sake. And that's what businesses do, anyway. Just like cabbage patch dolls. Someone will always be out there looking for inspiration. It's a thin line between stealing and improving and who makes the final decision? The customer. The cream always rises to the top. And anyway, isn't imitation the highest form of flattery?
Megan Loop I so agree with you....It's just soap...lol....I do not like hearing complaining while making soap that someone stole my design...for heaven sakes...It's so immature...drama drama drama....🤣
Well some people DO mind especially when its their livelihood... their income.. their future.. and sometimes its not JUST the soal people copy... I guess those people that don't care aren't as successful as Katie and don't need to worry about it :)
It's not "just soap" for her, it's her business. Not sure what you're talking about with cabbage patch dolls or saying that's what businesses do... Businesses can copyright their original ideas and sue people who steal from them.
That advice you were given at 17 was very bad advice and also not based in legal reality. Soap would be classified as a utilitarian item and not covered by copyright automatically. You "could" get a design patent but then that is expensive and time-consuming. Then you have the legal expense of enforcing it.
This is a trap many most female entrepreneurs fall into. Concentrating on hunting people down in a very mean girl way without any legal standing behind it. It will only hurt you in the long run. It gives you a bad rep and it rots your creative soul.
This has been my experience from the fashion industry
Also if you did get a patent you would of course immediately void it by publishing the recipe.
The best advice I ever got is "There is room for you"
You are such a grounded, relaxed individual with such a fun perspective, which is why I love to watch you. There is something to the whole comparison issue, especially with photoshop, pinterest and instagram. I was very lucky grow not up in that I literally looked like no one else. My literal self took that to mean I needed to just worry about being me. As an adult, my world has shrunk and it becomes harder but perspective keeps it from spinning out of control. So, thank you for the reminder.
That's such a great response to the copying "problem". You have a great personality, it definitely shines through!
