Wow… Great stuff Mickey… I had just a message on the video where Rob introduces you and after requesting some videos of how and what it is that you do, I noticed the videos were already up!
Rob, you are the Man, dude!
Wishing you both a Successful 2009 and keep them videos coming!
Greetings from Munich, Germany…
Thanks for the comment! Rob is the man! I am so grateful for his help and the Youtube Marketing Course. I am not great at the marketing thing and my handmade goatsmilk soap, gift baskets and bodycare are really quality products going un-noticed. With Rob’s help and a great product, I am hoping that 2009 will be the year for everyone to learn and experience my fine products. Stop by, sub, rate, favorite and check out my website for pics/info.
Best!

I really liked your channel and this video. If you need any help getting this video exposed I use a site called tubeviews (dot) net It has really helped like 20 of my main videos get to the top in position.
There is software im using to send atleast 30,000 text message a day advertising my online business…it is amazing. I think they have free demos to try as well.

Dear Mickey,

where do you find palm oil I have some but it is RED……
You can get the base from peak candle supply
This is great, I want to start a buisness by making the natural soap!
There soaps are too pricy- I purchase natural sops for a lot cheapter from someone else.
Great video. I might start a soap business with my parents and I have a question that I hope you can answer. Please look in messages(:
You remind me of a pastor i met, except theres something different… hmmm
Red is great! I am beginning to use red myself because of the extra benefits to the skin.
Very, very nice video! Can’t wait ot check out your website!
Ok wait she put the pot in a “water bath” but really that pot is setting on top of the other pot so the bottom is touching metal to metal and not in a water bath. Am i right or is it just me? I dont understand the point of the water bath,
The pot does sit in the water in another pan but even if it were in a double boiler it still helps to evenly distribute the heat.
where can I fin all vegan glycerine base? Thanks for your time
i have a question: is it possible to make soap without lye?
No, it isn’t. Not anyway that I am aware of. Let me know if you run across one.
hmmm…. this part is confusing to me? why does the soap need to cure if it’s melt and pour? i thought only cold process soap needed to cure to finish out the chemical reaction. it doesn’t seem like there would be a chemical reaction in this process… just melting. does that kind of make sense, or am i misunderstanding it?
the curing time that i give my soap is because of the ingredients that I add. it isn’t to finish out a chemical reaction. Adding the amount of great moisturizing ingredients and goatsmilk makes a better soap if it is allowed to cure again. it is like making it from the beginning all over again.
I don’t get it. How can it be both totally hand made in your kitchen AND made from a base you purchase in 50# boxes?
Totally is not a word I used. I take a simple all natural base and begin there with more great ingredients added after that than you will find in any soap.
