Hello, Margie, I also grew up in Washington, Omak to be precise, on a very small farm in the 40's and 50's. I remember the winters there were pretty much snowy and walking on top of snow that was a foot high was such a thrill for me. Of course I was a little girl then and didn't weigh very much. One winter we had such a blizzard and I remember Daddy had to walk 5 miles to get to work at the Safeway store in Omak. He put a box with a slit to see through on his head and walked all that way in blizzard y weather . Bless his heart he was an honest man and a very hard worker. One day he walked home from a neighbor (neighbors didn't live close) bringing a Jersey cow along with him. She was a beautiful cow and gave us lots of milk. How I miss those days ! I just came across your site and saw your beautiful soap, watched your video and thought that your soap was very striking, that black was just what your bar needed! So beautiful! And just the right amount of color. I have subscribed to your website and will be looking forward to watching for even more of your work. In the meantime I will watch some of your other videos. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Peggy

Hi Peggy 👋 Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story! ❤️ I've had my life turned upside-down 😥 My beloved darling husband, John, passed away on September 2023 from a massive heart attack 💔 😢 I'm still in disbelief as I'm taking one day at a time. I did make a few batches of soap this week which I hadn't done so for 6 months. I'm hoping to resume making videos soon. 😊 Thank you for subscribing to Ladybug Lane Soaps channel. 😁

@make7966 6 ай бұрын

Oh, Margie I'm so very sorry to hear about John, your lovely husband. It hurts, I know. I hope that you have family close by and good friends who care and are supporting you. All we can do is take one day at a time as you say. The nights are lonely, I'm sure and when you wake up in the morning everything for a moment is normal but then it hits you, John is gone. Things will never be the same. It's OK to grieve because that is very normal. When my twin brother died (only 20 years old) in a car accident, he lived only 3 days, I couldn't believe that he was gone from us. I still hurts because I loved him so much. The more you love someone the more it hurts when they go from us. I wanted to tell the whole world that he was gone and what a special brother he was but the world just kept going on. Didn't they know that I just lost a very loving brother? But, of course, they didn't, how could they. Nor did they care, which is normal. But I was young and hurting. Please accept my sincere sorrow, dear Margie, your friend, Peggy@@LadybugLaneSoaps

Ooh I love the soap 🥰🥰🥰 This coronavirus thing is insane isn’t it :( here in Tasmania Australia we have had 7 cases so far with no deaths 🙌 but some people are going crazy buying up and leaving the supermarket shelves mostly bare 😩 they’ve put restrictions on what we can buy now and the amounts. No schools etc have closed only evens where there will be 500 plus people and every person who flies or boats in now needs to self quarantine for 2wks. Fingers crossed this horrible virus passes ASAP!!!

@LadybugLaneSoaps 4 жыл бұрын

Welcome and I appreciate you subscribing to my channel and for watching the video! :) So let me ask you a few things about what could be going on with your fragrance issue. About how much fo are you putting in per pound of oils? If you are using half the maximum usage rate then the fo will be faint. Each company/supplier lists a max usage rate for wash off products like cold process soap. Using a higher amount would not be safe for your skin. I have read so many complaints from reviewers saying that a fo is hardly detectable when they use 1/4 to 1/2 the amount required. It all depends upon the type of fo too. Some of the "softer delicate" ones need to be used at the given max %/usage rate, while others are a blast in the face and may be fine to use less without ending up with a faded scent after the soap cures. I'm curious as to what fragrances you are having trouble with. Please send me a private message on my Facebook page at Ladybug Lane Soaps and I'd be more than happy to continue this thread further. Take care and have a good week! Hugs xxx Margie

Margie, I have been thinking about you and was hoping all is well. The virus is supposed to peak in 2 weeks and hopefully all is downhill from there. My daughter lives 30 miles away and she is sick and has to stay home. She was neg. For strep and flu, but since they are not testing for the virus, unless you are elderly, here. Her doctor gave her antibiotics and told her to stay home from work (road crew). She just has bad sore throat, no fever. Nothing! Wierd On a better note: congratulations! on 6K. It just seems like not very long ago, you were starting! It started snowing here last night, still snowing. I had just found that very same Sodium Lactate on Amazon, day before yesterday and it is a good deal. I always use it in my soap. 👍. Blessings and good health to you and yours ☺

Hi Tiff! It is a plastic coated wire. I wouldn't use a wire in the raw soap batter as the sodium hydroxide could very well interact with the metal.

Chris, if you had actually listened to what I was saying about what was starting to happen in my state of Washington, you would have heard that I was INFORMING the viewer of our situation here. There is a BIG difference between GOSSIPING and being INFORMED. Definition of the word INFORMED: 'based on an understanding of the facts of the situation.' Definition of the word GOSSIPING: 'casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.' By the way, although I am a "she" I go by the name of Hostess for the Mostess, Ladybug Lane Soaps, and Margie. Lastly, you would benefit from familiarizing yourself with a dictionary if you insist on using such verbiage.
