    Enjoy the holiday and your time off. The value of ‘refilling the well’ is immeasurable. Wishing you and your family all the best.

    The wrapping in mockups is done with a smart software, and it is recommended to lower the opacity of images on the mockup a little to make it more realistic, and not over-promise, so to say, to your customers. Going to watch further, so happy the vlog is 2 hrs, and you did a really good job with developing this product!

      I will definitely keep practicing with the mock-ups and it seems quite easy to achieve in Affinity. I did lower the opacity but I don't think I did it enough. It is why I also include one actual photo on the post and have disclaimers saying that digital images are brighter. It's all a big learning curve which I enjoy. 🧡

    Love watching the vlogs. As a vegan I agree that every part of the animal should be used if you do “process” the animal. I personally don’t like the idea of tallow or some such in my skin and I would feel like that if I still ate meat, but it’s important to not be wasteful and use the animal for everything possible so their life is not in vain. Great explanation and I don’t condemn people for their choice to consume animals. I did it once and it’s ok for people to do what they feel is good and healthy for them.

    • @SoyandShea

      Thank you 🧡 As you say, it is so important to respect everyone's right to choice and not condemn them for not doing as you do. As long as it is not detrimental to anyone's safety, I love to see people's choices. It's what makes us all so interesting.

    Merry Christmas Keeley. Have a wonderful break. You really deserve it after such a stressful year. All the best for 2025. I'm sure business will improve once more people in town find out about your shop.

    • @SoyandShea
      @SoyandShea  День тому

      Thank you 🧡 I hope you had a great festive season too. Interestingly, since Christmas, I have found a lot of people have come into the shop that used to live where I was and moved here 12-18 months ago and just spotted me. So I will hopefully get a few of my repeat customers back.

      It is sad to see so many small businesses closing. It is tough to hang on in there but hopefully things will start to turn around soon.

    Another great vlog. Sorta missed Peppa a bit tho 😂😂. So looking forward to the deodorant recipe. I have been looking into deodorants and pretty much have one I like it will be interesting to see where yours differs. I have had the hole and dirty containers. It will seem like a Christmas present from you. Hope you and hubby and Peppa have a lovely Christmas and I look forward to seeing you in the New Year. Thankyou for all you the work you did for Patreon, I for one appreciated it ❤❤❤

      I realised when editing that Peppa was a little absent. I will try to get more in the next video.
      The recipe will be out soon on Patreon soon. I would love to know how mine differs from other recipes.

    My business goals for 2024 were to go from plastic containers to glass containers, excluding body scrubs and all other products that goes into the shower. For 2025, my early goal, is to do boxes for all my skincare products. I have the boxes, I need to make the labels.

    • @SoyandShea

    Yes it is happening all over the world no country is untouched by corporate greed and the effects of climate change . We need to support small business more than ever farmers markets these are our back bone they will cool the corporate greed if we support them

    • @SoyandShea
      @SoyandShea  День тому +1

      We try our hardest to support small where we can and I do all our fresh produce shopping at the grocer to make sure more goes back to our farmers. It can be hard though as when times are tough, not everyone can afford it as they do cost a little more but it is usually better quality and lasts longer. Hopefully we see a turn around soon.

    I love using tallow in my soap formulations; such nice dense lather, super conditioning as well. So excited about your deodorant recipe, looking forward to it. Merry Christmas

    • @SoyandShea
      @SoyandShea  День тому

      I was chatting to Lee from Wicked Lee and we think I may have had a bad batch of Tallow and that is why I have been wary of it. I am looking forward to trying it in the new year. However, I still have a lot of vegan customers so if I decide to use it more, I will need to create a whole new range of soaps.
      The deodorant recipe will be out soon on Patreon.

    Keeley interesting info re glass car diffusers, as I also read they can break/shatter if in hot conditions. Can I ask is it safe to keep the re fill/use bottle in the car, I am assuming not.
    sorry Keeley I am watching in stop start . That is very impressive how you are editing your photos of car diffusers well done. Is it Infinity (spelling) that you’ve started to use.
    Re scales it can even just be the container you are using if accidentally slipped up against the scale which happened once but I noticed immediately the reading was incorrect so repeated as initial oil and measured.
    Have a very happy Christmas Keeley

    • @SoyandShea
      @SoyandShea  День тому

      Thank you 🧡 I hope you had a great Christmas.
      I have made the scent so it can be safely stored in the car. There is also enough room for expansion if needed but this shouldn't happen.
      I have been using Affinity to edit the photos.
      With my scales, it was definitely the basket touching the edge and changing the reading. The soap is all fixed now.

      It might take a little time to come through. There are millions using this system everyday and as much as we think technology is instant sometimes it isn't. It could also be because I have literally just released the video so it is making sure you are not a bot or a paid like with how quickly you have interacted and the length of the video. But don't worry, it has come through on my end. 🧡 There are actually 2 likes
